"Burning my angel.. hm..."
date: January 23, 2007
A powerful king seeks to gain his "rightful" place in the throne of heaven, but in his twisted mind sees only hatred on the path to salvation. In a biter and cold effort, he slaughters all within his cities borders, hoping to reach heaven.
The dark are also always the blind.
Eventually, a vengeful and angry god sends a group of angels with black wings, the angels of death, to destroy the king and all under his control. However, he will not go down without a fight, and sends his own, heavily armored men to combat them.
One angel, the youngest, named Celes, is struck down, and they are forced to retreat. Her brother, Nicholas, in a blind rage, seeks to become a human in order to seek vengeance upon the king, and eventually finds it by burning his own wings, and becomes a human.
Some fifteen years later, a mysterious man with what appears to be flames sprouting from his back, enters the king's castle. In sheer anger, he rushes into the king's throne room, and challenges him. The king, knowing that the boy was outmatched, stood, laughing, and unsheathed his sword. The two fight to the death, until the king finds his lung impaled upon Nicholas' sword, and Nicholas' stomach is stabbed as well. Knowing that he would not survive, and neither would the king, he whispered god's true plan to him, chuckling. The king, managing to scream with his last breath, curses god and all of his angels, and Nicholai laughs, knowing that he will again reach heaven.
However, Celes still waits for her brother's return. No, god would not allow him to return. Nay, god had cursed the young angel to eternal life on earth, until he judged him pure once again.
So, the story goes, death escapes the angel of death, and the wicked burn.
