The Rise and Fall

Prologue - War of the Wings

A thousand years ago, there was nothing but War. Cold-blooded, take-no-prisoners War where millions were killed, innocent or not. From the ashes of the final Great Battle, the white-winged Risen Ones declared themselves the victorious, proceeding to banish the now Fallen Angels to roam the lands on the surface below, to live among the Humans. The wings of the Fallen became a dusty black colour as the soot of defeat fell upon them and the realisation of their eternal punishment became apparent. 

The Fallen left with a certain degree of arrogance and reluctance, swearing an oath to the Highest of the Risen Angels that they would return and there would be a time in the future, however near or far it may be, when the Fallen Angels would rise to their rightful place in amongst The Cloud where they had originally co-existed with the "traitors." 

Even today, futile attempts are made to penetrate The Cloud, but many Fallen Ones who attempt have often died at the hands of one angel in particular. She is feared by both parties of angels, known for her unmerciful actions towards any unauthorised personel that may or may not threaten the way things work upon The Cloud often resulting in the deaths of Fallen vigilantes. Only one has ever managed to place a mark on this girl, the late Hamish Pitch slashed a scar into her left eyebrow, displacing it a little upwards so that she always appears to be raising it, but unfortunately she got her own back and Hamish died seconds later at her malicious hands. 

Few have ever managed to befriend this angel because of her cautiousness and alertness to the surroundings she occupies but her icy blonde curls and dark eyes, that appear as an extraordinary occurrence, considering most Risen Angels have blue or light green eyes, that seems to show no emotion unless she lets them. It's said that she acts so quickly during her kill, all that can be seen is dash of white feathers.
