Seraphim's Gift

Once upon a time, when the world was still new, the two realms; Heaven and Hell came together to establish the sacred rules of the new world. Once they were made, God sent down nine Angels to protect and watch over this world. They were to make sure the rules were never broken or abused. The Gates of Hell should never open and the two realms should never overpower the other, they should always stay equal when it came to entering this world. God obeyed these rules by making his Angels age like mortals to the point where they can even die of old age. Their powers were restricted and were only used to banish demons who disobeyed the rules. Over and over the Angels lived, died, and lived again, each time they lost little bits of their memory until they forgot about themselves and their mission entirely. One Angel, however, kept his memories. No matter how many times he had died and was reborn his memories stayed while his comrades forgot. This made the Angel go mad and soon the whispers of Hell filled his mind with darkened thoughts. Using his powers he opened the Gates which were never supposed to open. God awakened the memories and the powers of the current eight Angels and sent them to defeat the blackened Angel and reseal the Gates. With their foe defeated, his memories sealed along with the Gates, the Angels fought off the remaining Demons until they had fallen or died off. Time passed and the eight Angels were never seen again and soon they were forgotten.
