Though these characters and places may not be of my own imagination the story is.

I was inspired to write Better Angels because it is the title of a poem that a friend wrote that assured us that we can overcome even the most difficult of hardships.

Better Angels

by

Hannah Terjeson

The darkness used to call me it’s own

I used to walk this earth alone

I used to wait in these long shadows

To see what came after when the world fell.

I fell with it

But I am not afraid anymore

And I am not alone

They told us we were Angels

Better than we used to be

Hold our heads high and wait

for our time.

We are all Angels

Better than we used to be.

“Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, This hatred,How did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us that we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return, but knowing that some would be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows. Swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?” Lucas Scott from One Tree Hill Episode With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We slept.

Prelude

Unknown

It's been been more than a year since the defeat of the Titans and Valentine. The Nephilim, demigods, and the world are in for a fight unlike they could have ever imagined. The year is now 2008 and our heroes have begun their separate battles against evil. Little do they know that these two evils shall become one. Jonathan Christopher Morgenstern had awaken Gaea and joined forces with her and together they will bring hell to Earth. Our heroes will join forces with being much older than they can imagine, but younger than Gaea. Together can they take on the armies of hell. Can Heaven overcome Hell? A Hell much different than the one they fought before.
