Heyyy everyone! So I'm listening to family talk about "current world issues " and it's boring! So I shall write! :)
"Ezra, where do we begin?" I looked around the Devil's Kingdom. Nobody paid us much attention, most Angels of different breeds thought Angels of the Moon were secretly the Devil's Angels because of our appearance.
But we were the outcasts of the Angels. But we were also the most powerful, making us more dangerous to the others.
"Probably with the Demons. They kidnapped us."
"Okay so where do we find them. Like, where do you keep an entire race of Angels?" I wondered aloud.
We remained silent for a few minutes before the answer easily came. The Ninth Circle, the very worst.
"Devil's Castle." We replied together. The nickname for the Ninth Circle. Right at the Lion's heart. Why didn't it click sooner?
"Damn." Ezra whimpered, once realization kicked in.
"We have to go to the centre of Hell." I repeated slower. Fear gripped my stomach.
"We have too Ezra. We have no choice."
Not many Angels, mostly Moonrisen Angels, got back from Devil's Castle.
So can you see why Ezra and I were scared?
"Do we know how to get in?" I asked him. He shifted uncomfortably.
"I do. I was shown once." I stared at Ezra in surprise.
"You what?" I stuttered.
"Umm. Well I almost turned into a...Dark Angel once. I didn't like being under the service of the Sunbound Angels and I wanted freedom. I met one of the Devil's Brethren before, and he showed me, should I want to join he uhh gave me a way to find Devil's Castle." Ezra explained under his breath.
"Ezra! You're a...Shifter?" I'd only heard about the Shifters in stories. Those were Angels who'd managed to break the curse we Angels bared during the daylight. Whether that be to become a Dark Angels or otherwise. But not a lot of Moonrisen Angels tried it because our race was already on trial for being the production of Fallen Angels.
I'd always admired the Shifters.
"Wow. What stopped you?" I asked.
"A Sunbound Angel named...Persephone."
And my knees nearly collapsed there.
"You... and Persephone... knew each other?" I spluttered.
"Actually more than that, I met her when she was hunting me down. She stopped me and I liked her. We dated soon after." Well that pissed me off.
"So I assume you're together still?" I replied sharply.
He shook his head.
"Heck no. We could barely tolerate each other. The relationship didn't even last a month. But I won't pretend to think she only could've pretended to love me just to stop me from going away."
"Ah." I managed.
"Come on, lets go. We've got a journey ahead of us."
And on we went deeper and deeper into Hell.
