1Prologue:
Lord Devlon, or the devil as you may call him, fed off of
innocence, not in
the way that comes to mind when you here the word "devil"
but in a
completely different way. The demon would have to touch the
being and suck
the innocence out of it, often leaving the creature and empty
shadow of what
it once was. Most demons could feed off of a baby animal, like
a rabbit or a
kitten once every week, but The "Devil" only had to feed every
ten years, but
he craved something stronger then a baby animal, something
more innocent and
pure.
He craved the innocence of an angel. Yes, an Angel, and no, not
the kind
imagined by Christian fools, but the true kind. Yes there was a
"God" but there
were also the gods and goddesses of ancient myths. When god came he created the
Angels
to be his sacred priestesses. He believed that they should be
pure and
innocent, for he believed that would make him better then the
other
gods who simply used worthless humans as he saw it. I
suppose that it's
kind of ironic that he was the god who hated humans the most
the one with
the least sympathy and mercy, and he just happened to be the
one most
worshiped and well known.
Now what does that tell you about us pitiful humans?
But back to the angels, when it was time for a new angel, God
would give an
angel to a demon and once she had borne the babe he would
take the babe and
send the mother down to earth as a "fallen" angel. For, she
had done an act of
great "evil" and now could be corrupted by evil, just as when
Lord Devlon needed to feed, god would choose and angel for him to feed off of.
The angel was too strong to be turned into a shadow, but they
lost their
angelic powers and were sent down to earth another fallen
angel to grace
humankind's presence. It was a cruel and ugly vicious cycle,
one that kept
spinning
round and round, one that would probably never end. So, as
you can easily
see,
being an angel isn't all that it's cut out to be.
