Chapter 29 : Angel's Fallen

Alastor stood firmly as he faced the angels and demanded Angel's return but even he was surprised to learn that it wasn't a matter of demons can't enter Heaven but that the moment they entered Heaven began cleansing them, A demon's form, powers and abilities all came from their sinful attributes so upon setting foot into Heaven it was similar to jumping into a vat of acid. All parts of a demon would be under constant and persistent attempts to erase them down to their very core, Alastor didn't know this when he arrived but all 7 of the arch-angels that stood in front of him did and were surprised that Alastor was able to hold himself together let alone speak clearly.

Alastor took another step forward and the sound of the floor sizzling cracking and then crumbling slightly actually caused 6 of the arch-angels to step back while the one facing Alastor stood firmly and spoke "What is this about Your angel?? Demons do Not have angels!" While another spoke "Calm down Azrael, He summoned us here for a reason. Certainly not to bicker with a demon." Alastor continued to struggle and slowly take steps forward as they talked amongst themselves, All of the angels seemed to maintain awareness of Alastor as they kept their distance from him but didn't allow him to walk freely.

Angel knew in his heart that Alastor was here and was terrified of what might happen to Alastor and that he didn't know what might happen once they knew who Al was, Angel's body raced through Heaven panting and struggling as he pushed himself as hard as he could all the while his mind racing. How long had Angel been here? The Cleanse was more than a month away, How did Alastor get here? Was there fighting? More and more questions kept coming but one thought kept overwriting them all, Alastor was here for him and Angel was going to go to him no matter what.

Angel was bumping into others and knocking them over but he didn't even bother saying sorry, Angel had no clue where he was going but as he ran he followed a feeling inside and his instincts. Angel hadn't even noticed when he unconsciously had recreated his second set of arms, Gasps and comments were made when Angel bolted past them or knocked them over. Angel slid and turned a corner and down that long hall 8 figures stood, 7 arch-angels in full armor and armed with spears formed a semi-circle around the final larger figure that caused Angel's eyes to fill with tears.

There he stood 10 feet tall with his large black scythe that smoke oozed off of in one hand while his skin was covered with etchings with black and red sigils that moved about, The deer skull sat on the hood of shadows and red glowing eyes were visible with flames that licked up towards the antlers that seemed to absorb all light except for the red glowing lines and sigils that pulsed slowly. The large cloven hoof with red and black fur took another step forward and the material of the floor let out sounds that would almost make you think it was alive, Angel cried out as the tears started to fall "Stop hurting him!" All 7 of the angels turned to see the source of this cry with a look of shock and surprise on their faces.

Angel's body was moving before he knew what he was doing but he was already running towards Alastor and trying to get past the angels that looked at him with shock at first and then repulsion as they saw Angel's form start to shift and lose it's humanity. Angel's legs grew longer and his hair turned white as fur the same color started to cover his whole body, One of his eyes colored pink and the other turned black with a pink pupil. Angel leapt towards Alastor and just 5 feet from him Angel was suddenly suspended in the air with a look of confusion.

"You? Your the reason we're here? What could possibly be so important about a single soul choosing to fall that all 7 of us were summoned?" One of the angels asked as he stepped closer to Angel "Michael, It's not our place to question. We're here as we were told and we shall watch and learn what it is that He wants us to." The arch-angel named Michael turned to his brother "Gabriel, I don't need to watch or wait to know what to do here. -'Michael lifts his spear'- It's a demon, Nothing more." "STOP!" Shouted an angel and Michael gave them a bored look "What is it now, Chamuel? Your not going to say that demons are peaceful are you?" Chamuel took a step forward facing Michael and spoke "If we were to battle or smite, We would've been told to do so. Don't let your nature or job rule you."
