CHAPTER OF THE PAGES - XI - Wrong side of Heaven, Righteous side of Hell (Four)
“So Bertrand has some kind of Ishin power inside of him, and I’m not human, even in the slightest...?” Nezariel asked, taking both Bertrand and Purson by surprise. The demon king flinched ever so slightly, remembering the feeling of Lucifer’s glare through his niece’s eyes. However, that only gave him the determination to face his own decision. “It’s time for you to know...” The demon king said, standing up to face Nezariel, who was also standing. While Bertrand, feeling some kind of family issues vibing all around, kept quiet. Purson fell over his two knees, bending his whole body towards Nezariel, until his forehead touched the ground with a very solid sound. “First of all... I, Donnovan, deeply apologise to you, little sister. I haven’t been a good uncle, neither

“Right Grace, how’ve you been feeling lately?” The woman asked. She was in her thirties, wore an elegant plain white shirt, with black trousers. It was comfortably warm in her office, so she had her black jacket hung on a hook behind the door. She had dark white skin, light brown eyes, that changed in the light to a lovely and soft and bright greenish brown. The woman wasn’t tall, but wasn’t short either, just a bit above the average. Her hair fit her like a beautiful frame to a painting, and despite the small bags under her eyes, that showed how many hardly slept nights she spent on work, the woman was lit as a light. Elleanore was beautiful in a way that attracted both men and women, but still, she was a single mother. Ella, as she preferred to be called by her very few friends, chose to live life for her daugh

CHAPTER OF THE PAGES - XIII - Wrong side of Heaven, Righteous side of Hell (Six)
“The war ended with Lucifer’s side being absolutely defeated. Their comrades, and brothers and sisters in arms were locked in the deepest part of Eden, and judged by the greatest archangel of all, Michael.There was a place in God’s creation, forgotten by all living things. This place was only fire, depth, heat, and damnation. There was no possible chance that the defeated side could ever survive in that hole.And yet, Lucifer and his underlings were all cast out from Eden, tossed right into that fiery pit, and that was the first dark dawn of Sheol. The problem was that this war was caused by a renegade cherubin, whose name is long forgotten by history. He called upon a conjuration to fight against Michael and Metatron, whom he found out to be plotting against humankind, by using the forces of nature, ruled by the Ishins, and even by influencing human’s choices.They tested them with nonsensical tasks, sent plagues, a

Mathew looked at the blond man in front of him, keeping him from reaching the woman. The young man’s eyes showed him that the blond old man wasn’t actually a man. He was permeated with some kind of powerful dark aura, meaning he wasn’t an ordinary adversary. However, since the enemy of an enemy should be a friend, there shouldn’t be much problem for Mathew to finally get rid of the young woman who so cold-bloodedly slaughtered his dad, and then he’d be able to start the work of correcting God’s mistakes about the Earth. “I’m really perplexed for what makes you come all the way into my beloved establishment, blowing everything up and stuff, just to get to Uriel. And I was really inclined to let you just get her and get the fuck out from my restaurant.” Azazel started. “But here was supposed to be a non-aggression zone, and since you ruined it, I’m not gonna let you leave unscathed.”   ***   Uriel felt Azazel’s

INTERLUDE - II - A conjuring of wings and horns
Michael, the most powerful archangel of all creation, stood guard silently, right beside Metatron, who was at a high pulpit in the highest tower in the most impregnable stronghold of Eden’s seventh layer.Michael was one of the most handsome angels, losing only to Lucifer himself. His fiery red hair was long, curly, and framed his face like a flaming crown. His light brown skin carried lots of battle scars that would never fade. Congratulatory gifts from the first war, between the twelve great archangels of God, and the fearsome soldiers of Tehom.His muscular body was evident under his platinum armour. Slick, but thick at the same time, his arms and legs looked like they could tear a mountain apart with their bare will. And his height made common mortals tremble in fear back in those days.His green eyes scan

When Bertrand and Grace went back inside, Don and Becca were already sleeping heavily, resounding like kids after playing all day long, Becca with her head comfortably resting over Don’s thigh, Don’s hand carefully laid atop of her head, as if he slept fondling her hair.“These two never change, no matter how much time passes...” Grace said, with a sigh of relief.“I don’t understand, though.” Bertrand hushed back.“What don’t you understand, my boy?”“I mean... You’re... Like... Belial, the demon king. Right?”“Yes?”“He’s Purson, also a demon king...”“Yes...?”“And Becca is an angel... So...”“How do we get to be capable of actually loving one another?”“Well... Yes...” Bertrand felt ashamed by his own question, his cheeks flushed by the sudden realisation.<

INTERLUDE - III - A conjuring of wings and horns (Two)
Raziel touched the hilt of his sword, and a loud scream echoed through the gigantic hall. All demons and angels came to a halt after hearing the sound, and stood there, hands ready to get their weapons or release their focused power, but not moving a single inch beyond that. Raziel’s sword, Adversary’s Bane, had an essence on its own. Only allowing Raziel specifically to carry her around, and everyone that stood against him was dreadfully shredded by its blade. It was beautifully proved when he left the unaccountable  battles of the great civil war without a single scratch. Everyone who heard the shriek of his sword, knew it only meant death and destruction.   But Michael chose to dare, and unsheathed his own s

Grace and Becca’s plane trip lasted a few hours, but it was a comfortable time, since Grace convinced, somehow, the ticket booth to give them a first class VIP pass. Becca wanted to complain about it, because they were in the Haled, which meant following the rules of the Haled.But she did kill a person and was of course a runaway from Eden, so what could she even complain about?‘Well, shit...’ She thought to herself at the ticket booth. They left the airport and crossed a few streets towards the town’s border, giving no time for breaks or snacks.“It’s a matter of life and death that you learn the proper use of the Page you carry. Also, you’ll find every second you spend from there to here with no food, absolutely worth it, once we get to the church. Priest Baatar’s food is almost in pair with yours, girl!” Grace said when Becca asked her if they’d be stopping for a break any time

“Dad...?” Mathew asked, looking startled.The young woman kept whining on the floor, but the young man paid no attention to her anymore. She couldn’t move anyways.“She’s not the one you’re looking for, son...” Jeremy’s ghost said, looking sad and disappointed.But was it really his dad’s ghost?He didn’t look dead, nor translucent. He looked nothing like a ghost was supposed to look like.“What... What do you mean? Why’re you here?” The young man asked, looking even more lost.“She has a...” Jeremy’s ghost was about to say, but Mathew interrupted him.Read more
CHAPTER OF THE PAGES - XVIII - Wrong side of Heaven, Righteous side of Hell (Eleven)
When Becca heard the name ‘Elohim’, she had the feeling that one of the symbols on the roof shone a bit more brightly, as if standing out from the others up there in the ceiling, and it gave her the strange feeling of being watched by someone familiar to her. But whom?However, the feeling only lasted a moment, and right after that, the priest quickly rose from his previous position, once more facing his enemies.It seemed as if she was the only one to have felt that, and her enemies were looking viciously towards her, so it wasn’t time for any kind of contemplation. Her enemies were right in front of her, and she wasn’t willing to leave her mom and the source of all answers she needed behind.“You won’t lay a single finger on...” Baatar started, but Becca cut him mid-senten
