Devils Angel [New Version]

Prologue

Falling.

I am falling apart at the seams, tethered and undone, yet far from broken. Everything we worked for is now in a disarray; all crumbling down into ashes and leaving nothing behind but the smoldering smoke and faded screams. We were ready for this war, prepared for the bloodshed that would follow, and yet we couldn't foresee the outcome of the travesty that this battle had brought forth.

This battle, it shouldn't have come to existence in the first place, and yet I brought this down on everybody; it was my fight that I unintentionally started, and now my people are suffering under this warfare. He won't admit that this all started because of me, I know that, but he never knew how deep of a grave I built for the both of us the moment we met. How could we have known? We were young and in love, how could something so innocent, bring so much bloodshed? I want to apologize for this ongoing slaughter I have brought to my husband, my children... my people...everyone.

We are falling.

From the smog-filled sky, I could see the bodies of my fellow people, desperately fighting a tireless battle in hopes of surviving the chaos that is this plight. The sound of blades crossing each other, war cries matching that of the roaring thunder as the shadowy bodies disappear into nothingness. In the murky blue yonder, I find myself wondering if this is really it; that everything we did will all end here, in this infernal plain that was once beautiful and rich. I know what I must do, but I don't want to say goodbye. I don't want to leave this place without getting to see the outcome of what was meant to be my happy ending, but I don't have a choice in that matter, so I will fall here while I weep.

My fate has been locked down; though we have been trying to fight back what destiny had been throwing at us, we still had to face the inevitable end. I refuse to acknowledge that, yet, my time is drawing near, and before long I will be erased from everything. With my tears fading away into the blood-soaked sky and my mind becoming overrun with these dreadful thoughts, I could hear his voice cutting through the horrified screams. As I turned around and saw his outstretched arms, I pleaded with every ounce of myself that fate could be a little more compassionate and allow me to fall into my lover's arms. But he waited long enough.

And so I fall alone.
