"Are you blind, my son?" he stares at me his eyes filled with emptiness and says nothing. "ARE YOU BLIND?!"
"No."
"Then, answer me this: Why can you not see what is plain in sight?" His empty eyes now shiny with sorrow.
"Those with love need not see past their lover." He uses such grown up language around me, knowing farewell if I were not his mother he would speak with such impertinence.
"Well, one does not need sight too see the obvious. "
"I am well aware of the obvious, Mother." I feel the cold in his voice, and I shudder, I question what my son has become.
"Then you must choose to see past her "
"And how can I look past her when she is such a big part in my life, in my heart." looking into his face I see myself.
Caressing his face I tell him "I trust you to make the right choice. If you love her truly, then you will forsake her. It is in you, and if you push it down for too long, it will grow. And you will begin hate yourself."
"I will never leave her, like you left me, like you are going to leave me, again." The callous expression on his face tells me everything I need to know. I cannot stay any longer.
And I shall always know I made the right decision.
"Goodbye, my son."
"Goodbye, Mother"
I release his face from between my hands and jump from the ledge of the abyss into the water below.
Revelling in the feeling of freedom as I feel the demons escape me and along with them goes my life.
"Goodbye, Mother. " A tear running down his face.

Deep in the forests of Serendale there is a castle, although, there is a secret that is completely invisible to the civilians. A horde of angels look over their city.
***
Clairvoius, angel of love, as elegant as a wave and as beautiful as the most wonderful looking flower. Married to the mighty Sereimus, angel of strength. Sereimus towers over any man that stands before him, yet, no matter how big he is, his temper is most certainly the shortest. The handsome Sereimus, broad shouldered and masculine is envied by his youngest brother.
Julias, angel of knowledge, was disliked significantly by the majority of his family. Especially his own father, Sereimus the Great.
Sereimus the Great, angel of anger, a widowed man with three children,
all males. He immensely favoured his eldest boy, Sereimus.
One day, a particularly bad day, Sereimus the Great was in a very, very horrible temper. Reina, his sister, was the angel of seduction and Sereimus looked upon this as a disgrace on his name. So on this bad day he trekked to the top of Mount. Ciranus with his entire family.
Mount. Ciranus, is a mountain that is settled behind the forest of Serendale, it is a huge mountain that is believed to be the making of the devil's. At the foot of the mountain is a fiery pit of red flames that bubbles and hisses.
"REINA, ANGEL OF SEDUCTION, YOU HAVE BROUGHT GREAT SHAME ON MY FAMILY. SUDUCTION IS THE GAME OF SATAN AND YOU ARE A SINNER. YOU WILL BE THROWN INTO THE PIT OF FIRE WHERE YOU CAN JOIN YOUR MASTER AND REPENT YOUR SINS. BURN IN HELL WHERE YOU BELONG. I DO NOT WANT YOU AS MY SISTER. I DO NOT WANT YOU TO BE MY CHILDRENS AUNT, YOU ARE NOT WELCOME. SATAN LOVER." Sereimus the Great screamed as he threw his only living sibling into the inferno to burn in hell.
