Everyone! The moment you've all been waiting for!

-----

Some people say he is the Devil. Some say that he is the Grim Reaper. Or that he is a demon that came from Hell. Yes, he may cause death and darkness around him, but that does not mean he is from Hell. He is, in fact, from Heaven. He is an angel.

He is the Angel of Death.

Anger.

That was all he could feel. Well, besides the darkness inside him. He felt anger towards the Heavens, the Gods, the other angels, everyone! He was even angry with himself. He was angry at the fact that he was different.

He did not bring light and goodness into Heaven like the others. He only brought darkness and destruction. His wings were not pure white like the others. No, his wings were pitch black. He always questioned why he was born like this, but no one had any answers because they themselves had no idea why he was dark.

Like any other angel he was born from the lights in Heaven. But when he was born the Gods saw something dark, something evil in him. The lights never gave birth to an angel like him. They did not understand how he was born dark. All they knew was he was a dark angel.

The Gods still believed that maybe they could show this little dark angel the way of goodness and light. Yet the dark angel could not comprehend to the teachings of light. But yet they still tried and tried to show him. He still did not understand the teachings.

When he first created darkness the little dark angel was happy and thrilled of what he created. The other angels and Gods were frightened at what he could do.

They began to call him the Angel of Darkness.

He did not understand why the others feared him or why they gave him such an awful name. All he knew was that he was different. They way he looked, thought, and felt was different from everyone else. Even the 'light' he created was different.

But there was one God who still believed that the little dark angel can change. He was the God of Commitment. The God never gave up on him. Always pushing him forward, motivating him. But he soon realized that the little dark angel would never change after what he had done.

There was a little angel named Samuel. He was the 'perfect' angel. And he thought the dark angel should be exiled because he brought destruction into Heaven.

One day, Samuel told the dark angel that he was a broken angel and that he did not belong in Heaven. The dark angel became enraged with Samuel and he strangled him to death. That was the first time the dark angel took a life. After he killed Samuel, he realized his soul was not filled with light, but filled with darkness. When the dark angel looked at his hands he saw the light that should have been in Samuel's soul in his hands. But the light slowly turned dark. The dark angel now realized the powers he possessed.

That is how he got the name the Angel of Death.

The Gods took drastic measures when they found out about Samuel. They took the dark angel and they isolated him from everyone else in Heaven. They locked him in a magical box. Only the Gods could open it.

And for hundreds of years, the dark angel was locked away in this box, waiting and plotting his revenge to cause destruction and chaos in Heaven. And he knew that his time will come. But for now, he sat there in the dark fueling his anger further on.
