Good is not kind, Black is not evil.
Sheltered behind the curtain of clouds was a realm made for beings made of light, creatures made by a divine entity known as a God. Such beings swore to protect the heavens and the balance of the other realms, acting as the defender of mankind against evil. Since the dawn of time, these beings were created to fend off the darkness with their light. Vessels of purity and divinity with the sole purpose of following the will of their God. However, though the divine was good, they were not kind, and neither was fate.
A prophecy had befallen the heavens, carved in stone, known only by a few.
An angel with wings of ebony black, scorched from his fall from the heavens, will rise from the ruins of tragedy. Consumed by his despair, he will bring forth a calamity that will sow unrest in all the realms. A seed planted by a deity forged by the misery of humanity.
But before that, he was once a boy. A boy that held the stars in his eyes and only knew how to hold the world with gentle hands. And that boy was named Salvation. An angel born, rather than made. His mother was once a seraph before she was banished from her lord's side because of a sin.
This story will tell Salvation's tale before he fell.
One that will inevitably end in tragedy.
But before that, there was hope.

seVen: Vice and Virtue
Before the separation of vice and virtue--before demons became the natural enemies of angels--there was only happiness, purity, and Heaven. But all of that changed when the Archangel Lucifer decided he would do a far better job at being God than Trinity, Heaven's leader. And when his plans are thwarted, Lucifer and his followers become the first demons...and with that, the first sins. Now, these demons run wild among a fresh playground of human minds, and it's up to the Archangels who were once their best friends to stop this menace before it corrupts the entirety of mankind. Led by the Archangel Michael, Conscience aims to keep humanity safe while systematically taking down every demon that dares to fight them. And yet, Michael finds himself wondering if eliminating these demons for good is really the only way to save mankind. Weren't they once friends? And if they were, wouldn't it be better to save them? One way or another, he's going to find out. And at the end of the day, everyone will have to choose: Vice, or Virtue? *(Contains violence, language, and some sexual themes.) *(Deals with somewhat mature themes, as well, including touches of racism, domestic abuse, and mental illness. General trigger warning.)Complete

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
