Devil's Redemption

Prolog

A mother screams in pain as she gives birth to her fourth child, her husband sits by her side holding her hand as he has always done for her. "Just one push!" The doctor says, the wails of a new born soon fill the room, music to the couple's ears. "A healthy baby boy." A nurse says as she swaddles the boy in a blanket before handing him over to his mother. "He's perfect." She says in a hushed whisper, "What should we calm him Dear?" She says as she hands him over to his father, "Samael. Sounds perfect for him don't you agree Dear." He says as the child opens his eyes and smiles The mother smiles before falling asleep. "Perfect." She whispers.

Four years later...

"Sam! Lisa! Come on keep up!" Two boys yell as they run infront of there two friends, "No fair you two got a head start!" The young girl yells as she begins to slow down. "I've.. Got you!" Samael says as he leaps to tackle them. They roll across the yard all giggling and laughing, "Wait for me!" Lisa says jumping onto the pile.  "Kids! Come inside your food will get cold!" Samael's mother yells from the porch. "Coming mom!" Samael yells helping his friends up.

Two years later...

The four sit infront of a big T.V watching as heros fight demons in a few cities over. "When i grow up I want to be as big as a hero as them!" Kris says getting up from the floor, "I'll defeat ever single demon that crawls out of hell!" He says striking an action pose. "It would take more than just yourself to do that Kris." Dean says as he cleans off his glasses. "I know that, that's why I want all of you to help! When the four of us put our heads together there's nothing we can't do! Right Sam?" Samael laughs nervously. "Sounds scary to me I don't know if I could do it." He says, "You don't have to worry Sam! You've got the three of us to back you up! Lisa is starting her training to become a nun and the three of us are getting our holy weapons next year!" Lilly smiles, "As long as the four of us stick together."

One year later...

Sameal sits outside of a room with his hands wrapped in bandages, while his parents and doctors talk, "There's nothing wrong with him I don't see why wielding a weapon would cause a discharge like that." A doctor says, "Perhaps it has something to do with this dream he keeps having. "My son is not crazy." His mother says, "Either way its likely he won't be able to to wield any holy weapon." Samael slumps his head down, but to his surprise Lisa walks up to him. "Are you okay Sam?" She asks sitting beside him, "I won't be able wield any type of Holy weapon, but I still want to help. I'll use my head and open a business that way i can still help." He says with a determined tone.

Present day...

The room is black and misty, Samael's body floats around as if he's in a calm river. The mist around him contorts into a humanoid form, "Join me." It says before Samael jolts up from his bed drenched in a cold sweat. "That dream again." The image of the shadow flashes into his mind. "What the hell is that." After looking at the clock he shakes the image from his head and begins his day and after getting ready Samael steps out of his house, the morning sun kissing his skin.

As he walks down the street a siren goes off. "WARNING, A CLASS FIVE DEMON HAS APPEARED IN THE CITIES CENTER!" People start to rush away as Samael continues on his way to school, "Another? There getting more and more common. At least humans can fight these things." Two men rush down the street, one wields a sword the other a bow. Samael glances at them then the weapons in there hands, He lets out a sigh.

"It seems that everything under the sun can wield a weapon forged by God." His hands starts to shake, "Then why can't I? If I even touch one a shock goes through my body."  Samael walks through the gates of his school that has also been turned into a chapel that trains others to fight while also offering a the option of regular classes.

As he walks through the cortyard he sees a group young nuns praying. "Oh, hey Lisa." The nun gets up and dust herself off. "Hello Sam. Im glade to see your doing well." This girl is Lisa one of Samael's closest friends, she was born with a very rare and powerful ability. Light magic. Lisa and Samael chat for a moment untill a voice interrupts. "Well I see you finally showed up for school." Samael turns around to see Cris and Dean his other two friends.

Cris specializes in heavy weapons and prefers his battle axe, while Dean uses shotguns with deadly efficiency. "Good to see you guys too." Before the four can begin to talk the bell rings. They laugh before heading to separate areas within the school ground. After a few hours they meet up once again to eat lunch together.

"So what's going on with y'all?" Cris asks talking a bite from his food. "Nothing much." Dean says, "Same old same old." Lisa says. Just as Samael is about to answer an image pops into his head and with it jolt of pain runs through him. Samael screams in pain, startled the three jump up. "Sam! What's wrong?!" Lisa says worried.

Samael takes a few breaths before responding. "I'm fine. Im going to go to the nurse. I'll see you guys later." Samael gets up, "Hey you need help?" Samael shakes his head and walks towards the nurses office. Just as he turns the corner a stronger surge of energy runs through him. The surge causes him to fall down onto his knee.

The distorted voice from his dreams reappears in his head. "Follow me. I'll stop the pain, all I ask is you follow me." Samael gives a reluctant nod then begins to follow the voice. After a while Samael finds himself deep in the woods looking down a large cliff. "Why am I here?" Samael says turning around to see the shadowy figure from his dreams staring him in the face. "What the he-" Before he can finish the figure pushes him back and over the cliff. "Fly." It says as it pushes Sameal off.
