Angel Of The Damned

| C r i m s o n C r o w n |

Once upon a time, there was a mythical land called, Crimson Crown. Filled with pure light and joy in every nook and corner, the mystical land never lacked miracles. Righteously ruled by the Empress of justice and kindness, Queen Regina Montgomery, the people of Crimson Crown lived in enviable peace and harmony.

Queen Regina was not only acclaimed as the empress of abnegation in her land. Instead, the noble queen was also honoured as the conqueror of excellent bravery, errorless brilliance and exquisite beauty. Charmed by her imperial endowments and elegance, reputable rulers of many lands were ready to combat for her hand in marriage.

The tributes of her majestic grace were indefinable for words to describe. The divine beauty she dominated was infinitely meticulous till the extent of captivating even the Lord of Darkness, Lucifer himself. The demon king was extremely determined to win her undivided love but little did he knew that the Queen's heart was already taken. She was deeply in love with the Archangel. Gabriel, himself.

So, Lucifer challenged Gabriel who happened to be his archenemy to civil combat for the fair possession of her heart and love. However, Queen Regina chose Gabriel over Lucifer without even sparing space for any unwanted clash, effectively triggering the angst of the demon king. Raged by her biased decision, Lucifer declared a bloody war on her kingdom. He exterminated countless amount of her people and valiant warriors by unleashing his deadliest devils from the underworld.

Unable to fight the ominous evil all by herself, the noble queen was in the need of stronger sorcery. Hence, she went to her beatific beloved, expecting assistance and strength. Which he provided without any second thoughts. The archangel used every power and strength he possessed to defeat Lucifer's army. In that process, he ended up violating all the codes of angels.

And for that aberration, he was brought before the Throne of Almighty for judgement. Unfortunately, he was deemed to have committed a grave sin by siding with humankind and also crossing all the angel's codes for his own benefit. For that, the Seraphims sentenced the Great Archangel to be stripped off of his magnificent wings and exiled from heaven. And for the fault of abusing his heavenly powers, his entire bloodline was damned with a mortal curse.

Awfully on the other side, Queen Regina was at the brink of failure in the bloody war against the Demon King. Although she fought with all her might to win, her fortitude was nothing in comparison to his fatal forces. Still blinded, by his passionate feelings for the beauty queen of Montgomery, Lucifer tried offering her one last chance. Fall in love with himself or fall along with her subjects. However, the brave Queen turned his proposal down for the second time without even sparing a single consideration.

Angered by her unnerving adamance, Lucifer discharged every last one of his deadliest demons from deepest dungeons in a ruthless slaughtering spree and so they slew almost every single person who swore loyalty to Queen Regina. As a result of the merciless massacres, the people of Crimson Crown finally bowed down to the demons and Queen Regina's royal reign was overthrown.

In a final attempt to salvage the lives of her surviving subjects from the horrific demise, the noble Queen retreated from her land. Along with her cursed lover. After which, neither she nor the fallen archangel was ever seen in the kingdom. Crimson Crown was snuffed out of its sacred light and substituted with eerie darkness. The demons loathed angels and so they began spreading false myths about them. Only to create public animosity towards their angelic rivals.

After the bloody battle of the Crimson Crown, Lucifer's ruthless minions claimed the throne and ruled the kingdom in their own grim orders. They began addressing themselves as The Demogorgons and whoever dared to oppose the odious royalties were cursed into forms of dreadful beasts and imprisoned in dungeons or worse, slain. Concerned by the inclining number of rebellious prisoners, the Demogorgons intended to produce more followers for themselves.

In that sordid attempt, they started to mate with humans. Through which, a new variety of vile species was conceived and they happened to be a ruthless reflection of the Demogorgons' devilish selves. They grew up into gruesome creatures that lurked in the dark with obstinate bloodlust. They hunted and fed on human flesh in cold blood. They were known as vampires with venomous bites. With the invention of their brand new evil, the Demogorgons propagated into a force of even more powerful and brutal monsters.

At the same time, they never quit hunting for the divine descendants of Queen Regina and the fallen Archangel because they were still overwrought by the fear of being defeated at the hands of the angelic Montgomery lineage. They beheaded any being that they baselessly believed to be an angel or even a fallen angel. That inevitably became the border for anything that brought light from stepping any further inside their dark territory. 

Even though in the beginning, the former royalty's direct descendants did attempt to fight for their rights over the throne, they only faced death and destruction. After several decades of failed attempts, the flame of their fury perished and eventually no one ever heard from them again. Nevertheless of the radical threats and ruthless punishments, legends of the noble Queen and the fallen Archangel were never stopped being passed down over generations in Crimson Crown. 

Though Gabriel was indeed cursed and no one was aware of the sacrilege, his generations were still considered angels and they were seen and known for retaining unique gifts. Despite the dooming reign of the deranged Demogorgons, subjects of Crimson Crown still believed that one day, the Queen's descendants, the Montgomery Angels, will rise and release the subjects from their deep miseries.

A/N: Hello again, dearies!
That's just about the intro of the storyline. Unlike my previous work (Shattering Hopes and Eternity) a fanfiction of Niklaus Mikaelson, a character from the famous TV series The Originals, this one (Angels of The Damned) is a completely fictional work.

Crimson Crown is a land born out of my own fantasy and so did this story. I didn't want to write discrete stories for the two genres I love the most. One, Angels and demons. Two, Vampires and Werewolves.

So, I hereby merged the two genres into one and this story had been cooking in my head for way too long and it's not taken from any religious sources or beliefs. Everything is purely fictional.

Also, please do listen to the songs I add for every chapter. They're all way too magical and the artists have done a tremendous job.

Please write your feedback. And do VOTE, COMMENT and FOLLOW, dearies.
