Angels & Demons

This Can't Be Real ...

"So, now you know how this all started."                                                                                                                  

"Yea, but what does all that have to do with me?"

"Well, that's another story...."

"The battles between dark and white angels always have place on earth. The humans can't see them because we hide them by tornados, storms, ... But even without these they wouldn't; only a few humans can. It sometimes happens that such a human and, most of the time a white angel, fall in love and get kids, the so called half-blood angels. You are one of them too, but you're a really special one...

You see, 17 years ago there was one of the biggest battles we ever fought. We won, but a lot of angels got killed on both sides. After that battle there was, strangely enough, a long period of peace. For nearly 4 years there weren't any problems, apart from some commotion every now and then.

We couldn't really believe it, but it seemed like Lucifer didn't want to fight anymore. There were rumors that the Dark King had something else on his mind, they said he fell in love with a human and that they had a baby. These were all just rumors of course, but now ... Unfortunately, it was just the silence before the storm. After 4 years the peace got disturbed again, even more than before. One of our strongest angels got killed and the amount of battles doubled. It became harder and harder to win and we lost a lot of good angels. The dark angels even attacked people by day, and we believe that the same thing has happened to you ..."

"I'm sorry, Chaeron, but I still don't understand. What does this have to do with me? Why would the dark angels want to attack me?"

"You see, Jason, they said that Lucifer had a kid together with a human, but now I think it was with an angel, and no weak one neither ... "

"And what makes you think that?"

"You, Jason. I think ... No, I'm sure of it! You're Lucifer's son. You're the prince of the underworld, Jason ..."

"WHAT?!! I can't be his son, that's impossible! How did I even get in heaven if I'm the son of the devil?!"

"Calm down, Jason, please. You really don't want to wake Boubou, he gets really grumpy then and believe me, you don't want to see him grumpy .."

'Who's Boubou?...'

"You're forgetting a part of the story. You're not only the son of the devil, you're also the son of a powerful white angel."

"And how do you know all that? What even makes you think I'm the son of the devil?"

"Just look at your wings, Jason. There aren't only black veins running through them, you also have big black horns. You see, the power of a dark angel is mostly determined by the darkness of their wings. Only the strongest ones have horns on their wings. Yours are about as big as Lucifer's, believe me, I can know ... "

'How does he even know what my wings look like? Nobody could've told him that so quick ...'

"I'm quite powerful, you know. I can look at the things people have seen ... But let's just stick to the point. You might be the son of the devil, but it's obvious you aren't purely evil, otherwise your wings wouldn't be white and you wouldn't have a golden aura. There might be some evil blood running through your veins, you also have the power of your mother. And not only that, you're also a good kid; I don't think the evil blood running through your veins will change that."

"Ok, so let's just assume I'm Lucifer's son ... How did I even get in heaven then? Even tho my mother was a powerful angel, I'm still half evil."

"You're unique, Jason. There has never been someone like you and we don't know the limits of your powers. Leaving you in the hands of the enemy would be a big mistake. Obviously you're really powerful, like your parents. That explains what happened at the 7th floor. And we also saw potential. You're a really good kid, I don't think the blood in your veins will change anything about that ..."

"But still, what if ... Wouldn't that endanger all of you?"

"I trust you, Jason.", Chaeron says while looking me in the eyes.                                                                 "I know you would never endanger us."

"Well, thank you I guess ..."

All of a sudden I see something big moving in front of the fireplace. The pile of wool rises and reveals a big creature that looks a bit like a wolf. He has long, stug black hair and dark eyes. He has tusks of about 15 centimeters long sticking out of his big mouth full of small, sharp teeth, like a sabertooth tiger. While standing on his 4 paws with sharp, black claws he was so high he reached my hip.

"Ahh, he's awake ... Easy Jason, don't panic, he won't hurt you. This is Boubou, my soul animal."

'So this is Boubou? Fitting name he has ....'

The big beast slowly starts approaching me. I try to be as calm as possible, but I can't  stop my heart from nearly bursting out of my chest. I carefully stick out my hand, like I would with dogs, and let him smell at it. After smelling a bit he rubs his head to my hand. I carefully start scratching him under his chin and he lets his red tongue out of joy.

'He's actually kind of cute ...'

"I know right? Usually he isn't this friendly towards strangers. You really are special, Jason ... Well, I think we've chatted long enough. You may go back to your fellow classma... Oh god", he says while looking at his computer screen, "is it already that late?! I'm sorry, Jason, but I think I made you skip a lesson. Well, just enjoy your spare time then." A big smile appears on his face.

"Thank you, Chaeron." I quickly smile back. I rub Boubou under his chin one more time and get out of my seat.

"Be sure not to get late for class tomorrow! Good luck, Jason!" ,I hear Chaeron shout just before I close the door.
