Once upon a time, there was a man.

He was the most hated man in both the Heavens and on Earth.

He was banished to a place he would never be seen again.

But what no one ever knew was that his lover was banished with him also. After a year or so, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Sadly, the mother did not survive labor.

Her spouse was too happy about his daughter to be grieving about his love’s death.

He raised her up until the time she stopped aging.

She was 18.

She walked with grace unknown to man.

She was more beautiful than any woman. 

She had more knowledge than the greatest professors.

She would’ve known more evil than the devil himself if she wasn’t his daughter.

     “Father, would you care to join me for dinner,” she said to him as she walked up the stairs. Her father turned and grinned as he saw her. “Yes, yes give me three seconds and I’ll be ready, another one fell today,” he answered, rubbing his forehead.

She rushed up to him and stood near him. “Are you alright Father,” she asked, furrowing her perfectly plucked eyebrows together. He didn’t get stressed easily so she was surprised. He shook his head.

       “I have no clue Aradia, every time I work so hard at getting that one angel, he seems to get out of my grasp,” He clenched his fist together. Instead of taking a step away from him like most would when he became angry, she took a step forward and grabbed his hand.

      “What’s the angel’s name?” She asked, curious of just what pest was annoying her father, well, more than the average angel. “It is of no importance,” He answered, removing his hand from hers and putting away the List.

     The List held the name of every human, angel, and demon known to God and the Devil. Her name was not listed because she was neither a human nor demon. She was something much different than them.

     “Please Father I wish to know, and it’s pretty amazing when you get the daughter of the Devil himself to beg,” she smirked, knowing what she said was true. He turned to her with a small smile on his lips, but it soon faded into a grim line. He let out an audible sigh and ran his hair through his hair, something he only did when he was stressed.

      “His name is Nathanial, he’s an Archangel, and he is becoming quite a nuisance,” He said while looking at some more papers on his desk. She went over to him and peeked at the papers in his hand. It was the file for Nathanial and as she had thought, it still had God’s stamp on the front of it.

       “I see he’s been very disagreeable?” She raised an eyebrow, tilting her head to the side. Her father let out a chuckle and looked up at her, “You have no idea.”

     It was her turn to laugh, and she said, “But I do.” She took the papers from his hand and skimmed through them. As she read, she let out a gasp. “You’re going after the Keeper?” she stage-whispered, her eyes bulging.

        The Keeper was everyone in the underworld’s worst nightmare. He was the angel that held the only way that could kill demons, The Angel’s Sword. With one swipe, he could take down the most powerful demon. He could also kill her.
