INFERNAL PASSION

The first battle

Gabriel woke early, his mind still reeling from the disturbing vision he had the night before. The weight of Michael and Lucifer's warnings pressed heavily on him, their words echoing in his thoughts. The prophecy they hinted at—a union between an angel and a demon that could alter the balance of power between Heaven and Hell—left him shaken. As he got out of bed and started his morning routine, he knew he had to share this with Diana.

In another part of the city, Diana was already up, her thoughts consumed by recent events. She dialed Emily's number, her fingers trembling slightly. Emily was a neutral party with connections in both Heaven and Hell, someone Diana trusted to help navigate this dangerous path.

- Emily, it's Diana. I need your help. Can we meet? - Diana's voice was filled with urgency.

- Of course, Diana. This sounds serious. Let's meet at our usual place, tonight at eight. - Emily replied, her voice calm and reassuring.

- Thank you, Emily. I'll see you then. - Diana sighed with relief as she ended the call.

Vincent, meanwhile, was growing more suspicious and protective. His jealousy of Gabriel had reached a boiling point. Determined to find out more about Gabriel, Vincent devised a plan. He enlisted his gang to follow Gabriel and gather information, his mind clouded by jealousy and protectiveness.

Sophia, noticing Gabriel's erratic behavior, grew increasingly concerned. She decided to investigate on her own, hoping to uncover what was troubling him. She began to follow Gabriel discreetly, her heart heavy with worry.

Gabriel, after composing himself, decided to visit Diana at the gallery. He needed to discuss the latest vision and the cryptic prophecy. When he arrived, Diana was waiting for him, her expression a mix of worry and determination.

- Gabriel, you look troubled. What happened?

Gabriel took a deep breath.

- I had another vision. Michael and Lucifer both warned me about our relationship. They hinted at a prophecy, something that involves us and could change the balance of power between Heaven and Hell.

Diana's eyes widened.

- A prophecy? This is bigger than I thought. We need to find out more about this prophecy. I've arranged to meet with Emily tonight. She might have some answers.

Gabriel nodded.

- Good. We need all the help we can get.

As the day went on, Vincent's gang continued to follow Gabriel, observing his every move. They reported back to Vincent, who grew more agitated with each passing hour. His jealousy and protectiveness over Diana were consuming him, and he couldn't shake the feeling that Gabriel was hiding something.

That evening, Diana and Gabriel met Emily at a secluded location, a small, dimly lit café that served as a neutral ground. Emily was an enigmatic figure with deep knowledge of both realms. She wore a simple yet elegant dress, her eyes sharp and knowing.

- Diana, Gabriel, it's good to see you both. Tell me everything.

Diana and Gabriel shared their story, from their first meeting to the visions and warnings they had received. Emily listened intently, her expression thoughtful.

- The prophecy you mentioned is indeed real. It speaks of a union between an angel and a demon, a union that could shift the balance of power between Heaven and Hell. Both realms have suppressed this prophecy for fear of the upheaval it could cause.

Gabriel's heart sank.

- What does this mean for us?

Emily leaned forward, her voice serious.
