When Deviya fell, she fell hard; not only into the Stygian abyss of Hell, but into the arms of her archenemy.
An angel.
When the pillars of Heaven begin to crumble, and the wings of the fallen are singed with shame, who will be there to lift Deviya up from the pits of Hell?
"Obsidian blood rained down on the damned. Deviya could taste it. The metallic curry of her sister's sinew and muscle bled into her mouth and drenched her and the boy in a copper haze. Deviya ran. She ran, and ran, and ran. She didn't know where, but she would run. She ducked behind bushes, and scurried along stone, paved pathways. Anywhere to avoid the lethal, vaporous demon that trailed behind them. The abhorrent monster hurled rocks and upheaved pathways in its wake. It was no longer Simaina. It was something different. Something more. Something that sent marble statues and pulpy fruits flying in agony."
Join Deviya in this spine-chilling, rip-roaring retelling of the Book of Revelation's most chilling story: The War of Heaven. With Deviya determined to protect a child of the damned, she strides to find solace not only for herself, but her child. With an angel on one shoulder and the devil on another, it's no surprise that she will fall, but when she does...who will catch her?

Soul
"In a world ruled by power and tyranny, peace is a distant dream. You were once a child, innocent and new to life, yet someone ignited the flames of destruction, suffocating your breath and stealing away the purity of your air. All that remained were fleeting drops of water and the faintest hope that the fires would one day cease. Perhaps you were gifted, your powers beyond what was ever expected, but power isn't just strength-it's a threat. Years passed, and you grew to despise everyone and everything. In rage and vengeance, you found a twisted kind of salvation. Amidst the chaos, you found home with someone you've picked up while desperately trying to escape the chains of fate. And though agony shaped my path, I never wavered from my purpose. Through hell and blood, I built my name and wealth, offering others a chance for redemption, for lives once broken like my own. Now, after all this time, I've prepared to fulfill the final task of my life. Many will weep, blood will stain the earth, but certainly, they will pay for stealing my childhood. - Anastas
A Demon With Wings

The summer sun shines in the distance, flashing like a gold curtain string on a silky blue drape, and believe me, I've seem enough of both of those in the sapphire conference room. The view outlines her ashy brown hair, and brings out her gleamy dark eyes. Yeah, 'gleamy' is not a real word, but who cares. "Cool," I say. "We get three more hours to spend before the feast." Yeah, Evangeline and I started dating. Sort of. It's mainly just show for the kids. The kids. Maybe I care more about them than I thought. Goodie sits down next to me. He grabs a grilled cheese and chicken sandwich from the platter, and starts inhaling it. "Goodie? What are you doing here?" I ask, trying to sound pleasant. That's big talk for 'What the f😠😠😠 are you doing here? You little s😤😤😤, get the f😠😠😠 out of here!'. "I have good news. I got promoted to field agent!" Goodie says happily. I sigh and clap for him, while he helps hinself to another sandwich. "What weapon do you use?" Evangeline asks kindly. "I use a spear!" announces Goodie proudly. Evangeline and I share a panicked look. For Jezebel Chesterfield also used a spear...Complete

"I know you're a virgin but have you never been touched?" He asked, sliding his other hand down onto her leg. "What makes you say that?" Kat breathed, bracing her hands on the counter. "You react like someone who's never felt another's touch," Nex whispered, slipping his thumb under the band of her shorts. "So, have you not?" Kat opened her mouth to speak but stopped when his hand slid up from her leg, gliding up her stomach and stopping just below her breast. "Not even here?" He asked, following the curve of her breast with one finger, not touching, staying just below as he dragged it back and forth. "What about here?" He asked, sliding his hand down from her ribs to the bottom of her shorts then around to her butt, fingers nearly grazing it as he inched them up, under her pajamas. "I can say with certainty, never here," he said, lowering his other hand under the waistband of her shorts, touching the top of her underwear. "No, you've definitely never felt that before. I can hear your heart racing, I can feel your breathing, I can smell your body responding like it's never experienced these sensations before," he whispered, sliding a finger just underneath the band.

At the Fields of Fire and Blood
The world is dying. Heaven and Hell have broken and collapsed, creating a post-apocalyptic landscape that is part purgatory, part platonic world of ideas, blighted by the horrors of the human mind. The sun lies dormant in the east, atop God's tower, while the west is plunged into darkness and haunted by all that lives there. There is no day and night cycle, nothing grows, nothing dies, nothing changes, unless magic is involved. Angels hunt creatures for their blood, to feed it to God so he can finish gestating. Demons kill and destroy aimlessly, their origins inexplicable and unknown. Stranger beings wander the ruins of what's left of the world. Humans need not eat or sleep, caught in a state between life and death. They cannot die or be born naturally, but they can be killed and they can be made. The few that survived with their sanity somewhat intact have locked themselves into warded cities, but their protections are feeble and often ineffective. The Order that united them is long gone, broken into factions known only by the sins for which they have fallen. The Houses that protected them are crumbling, falling into ruin as their members were culled down by angels and demons, as well as their own mad quest to save the world; the Pilgrimage, a vain attempt to steal into Eden and murder God himself. Soon, only the Scions will remain. Those that were left not due to merit, but because they were the last choice for being heroes. Those whose memories and minds are as damaged and eaten through as their world. Those who agreed to take on the mysterious Archons within their bodies and, through that contract, had ancient relics and rituals passed down to them. They converge onto a long forgotten neutral ground, trying to save themselves. A heroic journey through a nightmarish wonderland. A pilgrimage to God's tower, to make the world whole again. To cleanse the world of the horrors infecting it. To kill the God who will doom them all with his birth.Complete
