Ascension 1:1

In a place with nothing, no light, no life, no breath, just darkness, a being awoke, God. He stared at the emptiness surrounding him, and felt power in himself. He created. Worlds and universes all over. God had created a being to watch over these galaxies and universes, The Cosmic Eye. God created his finest creation, The Earth. There he had put so much effort into it. Making it fit for life forms to exist, and then, making the life forms. First came the animals, they were given plants to eat, and predators, benefit from the plant eaters. Rivers ran beautifully and clear, shining in the sun. Trees giving them oxygen to breathe. But that wasn't enough, it was boring after forever. Just creating a life cycle between prey and predator got old, fast…

Ascension 2:1

God had experimented for decades now, trying to figure out a being that could be perfect. Then, after so many times, The first man was created. Adam. God had done it. Made a being that stood out from the rest, and was the Apex. But it was lonely. So god created the first woman, Eve. The Cosmic Eye watched over as God moved on to make other beings, and in the few years he looked away, more humans were born. Humans were populating the earth slowly. The first 2 children of Adam and Eve, were Caine and Abel, The first brothers. They enjoyed each other's company, and helped Adam and Eve with tasks. Caine took a particular liking in farming, and aided Eve with doing so. Abel on the other hand, was a fierce hunter. He frequently brought back animals he had killed for food, and there was never a shortage. God witnessed just how intelligent the human race was, and how powerful they are, and could become. So he established a hierarchy and judgement, Known as Heaven and Hell. Along with these two realms, God created the first Angels: Ixodius, Lucifer, Gabriel, Micheal, and Azrael. These beings watched over Earth's humans, and were to judge if a being after death was good or bad, depending on these, they would be allowed into heaven, or sentenced to hell. The Angels did their job well, and nobody had died on earth. all the Angels did was watch. Ixodius was particularly interested in the human races perception and feelings of fear/regret. He found it interesting how they had this feeling, and how they perceived it. they knew to respect/stay away from certain things due to fear.

Ascension 3:1

Ixodius had learned how to manipulate the mind of a being, and manipulate them. Using this, he had put so much fear into Caine of Abel, to the point where in a blind act of fear for his, and Adam and Eve's lives, Caine had taken a blade, and stabbed Abel, killing him. Caine sat there in shock, realizing what he had done. He stared for hours…Adam and Eve came to Abel's tent, only to discover Caine standing above him, blade in hand, and a dead Abel laying on the ground. The Angels were surprised, horrified. All except Ixodius. He sat and stared, interested in his work. Caine was banished to the outer world, where he was killed by a wolf in a forest. Arriving at The Entrance of The End, the Angel Michael had told Caine to pass through to God for judgement. Caine pleaded to God. "PLEASE….IT WASN'T ME! I WAS MANIPULATED BY FEAR!" Caine cried. "My child..No matter the effect or control, you were the one that could not resist these feelings, and chose to act this way. You are to be held in the abyss until judgement is decided further." God spoke. Caine screamed and cried as he faded into the Abyss.

Ascension 4:1

Ixodius pondered and watched. He now knew how judgement worked even more than before. He approached God and asked: "God.. What would the consequences be for if an angel of thou is to murder?" God was surprised by this sudden question, and pondered. "Well, my child..The Angels should know how to be just..But if they are to act out, then they shall be punished as any other would." God spoke. Ixodius nodded and took this knowledge permenantly to his head. Ixodius constantly flayed the minds of humans that were easily put under his influence, and Ixodius did it right under the noses of God and The Angels. The only one Ixodius was even worried about was Lucifer, as he followed Ixodius frequently and took interest in Ixodius and his behavior. So in an act by Ixodius being worried Lucifer might expose him, Ixodius used a large force of his power to Manipulate the mind of Lucifer. It is unknown what he said to Lucifer, but it made him deceptive. Lucifer had questioned authority of God and The Angels, and after an agreement of Heaven and God, Lucifer was deemed dangerous, and a threat. They banished Lucifer to Hell, sparing him the mercy of beings its God. Years later, Caine was sentenced to Hell for the crimes against humanity of murdering his brother Abel. Lucifer watched as he descended, and took him in his arms. Lucifer whispered to Caine. "I'm sorry, Caine…We were both influenced by a greater evil…We couldn't help it, we weren't strong enough…But now we're in our own domain. We are safe from its evil." Caine cried, and Lucifer sat with him. The two first fallen beings.

Ascension 5:1

Years after the descension of Lucifer, Heaven was confused as to what was corrupting Caine and Lucifer. They noticed in humans too, that some were acting out. Seemingly afraid of others, having something put in their mind to make them act out…Only a being of high power could manipulate like that. God first questioned The Cosmic Eye. It had spoke nothing, but blinked twice. God took this as its answer of "No", and questioned The Angels. of The Angels, Ixodius was the odd one out. The only one that ever had questioned, the one that was afraid of judgement. The one who asked about how an Angel would be judged. Ixodius was sentenced to Hell for the manipulation of hundreds of humans, and Lucifer and Caine. Lucifer and Caine saw as Ixodius fell from the High Heavens into the deepest pits of hell. Lucifer quickly ran over to his best friend. "What happened to you Ixodius?!" Lucifer asked afraid. Ixodius simply stared up at the heavens, his eyes filled with hate. Lucifer watched as Ixodius's eyes had started turning pitch black of hatred. Tears of blood flowing from his eyes, made from his pain. His face and head deformed, The skull of a wolf forming as his face. His teeth sharpening. His claws grew larger and sharper, his body Mutated. His lower half seemingly shattered to dust, leaving his exposed spine broken. Lucifer and Caine watched in horror as Ixodius let out an ear piercing roar of pure hate towards the heavens. God and The Angels heard this as the grounds of earth and Heaven shook, and the roar could be heard from everywhere.

Ascension 6:1

Ixodius was outraged, full of hate. He cried endlessly of blood in pain and anger. His body transformed into that of pure darkness and hatred. Every roar he let out cracked his skull further and further. His power was growing rapidly. The Angels and God observed that every day, he seemed to be growing in power. They also noticed that the more fear or worry they showed, the more powerful Ixodius seemed to become. It made sense now. Ixodius was empowered by the fear and hate of life and beings. They couldn't stop it. No matter how much light they shed on humanity, The darkness always returned, it always overwhelmed. No matter how much, Light will always disappear. Darkness will always shroud it, and darkness can never stop. Darkness is eternal, and cannot be stopped. Then, heavens worse nightmare happened. Ixodius broke the barrier of Hell, and emerged onto earth. He grew in size by hundreds, and released a roar of pain and sorrow, but mostly, Hatred. Ixodius wandered until he found a civilization, and unleashed his hell upon it. He slashed his claws at structures, destroying them with ease. He trampled and mangled people, consuming them and their hatred. He kept growing in power. His jaw unhinged, his eyes began to glow with a fiery deep red pupil. He released a beam of blood and darkness from his jaw, and blasted through the civilization, decimating everything. After nothing was left, Ixodius's eyes returned to pitch black. Blood dripped from his jaw, and black fluid and blood spread everywhere across the ground near him, and where the civilization had laid. The Angels were horrified of this power, and asked God what they should do. God knew what had to be done. The Cosmic Eye had created a being, ARGOS. God knew this was his opportunity. "Oh divine being ARGOS" God spoke. "I request your help as the one that made your God". God said. "ꅐꁝꁲꋖ ꒐ꈜ ꐔꊿꌈꌅ ꀷꑀꂵꁲꃔꀷ, ꁝꊿ꒒ꐔ ꊯꁲꋖꁝꑀꌅ?"¹ ARGOS Spoke. "To create beings of balance. Ixodius has grown far too powerful for Heaven to deal with, and believe your immense power could help. Create beings to help earth combat The Feared One." God spoke. "꒦ꑀꌅꐔ ꅐꑀ꒒꒒, ꁝꊿ꒒ꐔ ꊯꁲꋖꁝꑀꌅ."² ARGOS spoke.

Ascension 7:1

ARGOS had created 2 kinds of beings: BLISS, and JUDGEMENT. He created multiple of these beings, and relayed them down to earth. They had found Ixodius, and alongside humanity, had begun a fight against Ixodius. Lasting years, humanity had attacked for so long. They needed breaks all the time, and food. But Instances of BLISS and JUDGEMENT were relentless, never needing to stop. They slashed at Ixodius with their claws constantly. They were losing numbers. Only 4 Instances of BLISS and 3 Instances of JUDGEMENT were left, and humanity was dwindling. thousands of humans were slaughtered. But finally…Just as all hope seemed gone..Ixodius fell to the ground, not moving. ARGOS had descended to earth from heaven, and seperated Ixodius's skull from his body. ARGOS Gave the skull to a tribe on the opposite side of the earth, and relayed information to them. "ꁝꌈꂵꁲꃔꈜ ꊿꊯ ꋖꁝꑀ ꑀꁲꈜꋖꑀꌅꃔ ꁅ꒒ꊿꃳꑀ.. ꐔꊿꌈꌅ ꋖꌅ꒐ꃳꑀ ꁝꁲꈜ ꃳꑀꑀꃔ ꏳꁝꊿꈜꑀꃔ ꃳꐔ ꁅꊿꀷ ꋖꊿ ꉣꌅꊿꋖꑀꏳꋖ ꁝꌈꂵꁲꃔ꒐ꋖꐔ. ꈵꑀꑀꉣ ꋖꁝ꒐ꈜ ꈜꈵꌈ꒒꒒ ꁲꅐꁲꐔ ꊯꌅꊿꂵ ꁲꃔꐔꋖꁝ꒐ꃔꁅ, ꁲꃔꀷ ꉣꌅꊿꋖꑀꏳꋖ ꒐ꋖ ꅐ꒐ꋖꁝ ꐔꊿꌈꌅ ꒒꒐꒦ꑀꈜ ꌈꃔꋖ꒐꒒ ꋖꁝꑀ ꑀꃔꀷ ꊿꊯ ꋖ꒐ꂵꑀ. ꒐ꋖ ꈜꁝꁲ꒒꒒ ꃔꑀ꒦ꑀꌅ ꃳꑀ ꋖꁲꈵꑀꃔ ꊿꌅ ꉣ꒒ꁲꏳꑀꀷ ꃳꁲꏳꈵ ꊿꃔ ꒐ꋖꈜ ꃳꊿꀷꐔ."³ ARGOS spoke. The tribe had 19 people take the giant, heavy skull, and hid it in a vault underneath a Temple. They had won. Ixodius was stopped. His skull protected by a large tribe, and his body locked in a divine box. But what they hadn't expected, was Ixodius's influence. Some human beings observed the fight, and Ixodius rising from hell. They took interest, and become followers. They devoted themselves to worshiping Ixodius, and swore to one day bring him back to whole. God and The Angels had no idea of these followers. But had no care either. They had won, that's all that mattered.

Ascension 1:2

Ixodius's followers searched far and wide for their gods body and head. They thought Ixodius would restore balance and aid them with his power. they never stopped searching, until they discovered a tribe with a Temple that emitted a sense of hatred and darkness. This was it. They asked the tribe what was inside the temple, but the tribe pulled weapons on them immediately. The Followers of Ixodius had pulled their own weapons, which were claws from fallen BLISS. These large blade-like weapons crafted massacred through the tribe, and they accessed the temple. Their eyes glowed in excitement and curiosity. It took many of them to get the skull out of the temple, but they did. Heaven panicked as they saw this. ARGOS was angered seeing them use his fallen creations in such a manner. The Followers of Ixodius had taken the skull back to their main grounds, and kept it their most secure vault. It was guarded 24/7, so nobody else could take it, and so Heaven couldn't reclaim it. God had ordered ARGOS to create more beings to regain the skull, and Gabriel to make an army of Angels for a battle that could occur. God had nominated Gabriel as the leader of Heavens forces. Over the next few years, more and more Angels were made by God, and trained by Gabriel. ARGOS had created hundreds of BLISS and JUDGEMENT, and after 4 years, they were prepared. A large blue and white holy light blasted from the sky on to the earth, beaming 10 instances of BLISS and 15 instances of JUDGEMENT. Humanity at first was horrified. They had forgotten that these beings were their saviors, and helped them many years ago. They attacked the BLISS and JUDGEMENT's. being attacked resulted in the instances of BLISS and JUDGEMENT to retaliate, decimating the attackers. ARGOS watched in horror. The BLISS and JUDGEMENT's returned to task, and began approaching The Follower's camp. The second they were spotted, a barrage of catapults launched. all of the BLISS were taken out by large boulders. Archers fired arrows at the JUDGEMENT's, and the catapults were being reloaded. many of The Followers were dying to JUDGEMENT, but after hours, ARGOS's first wave had fallen. And 32 of The Followers had perished. ARGOS was surprised. These humans were so evolved and intelligent. They had defeated beings that should have been able to eradicate them. ARGOS turned to Gabriel, and they stared at each other for a few seconds. "Do I need to do it now?" Gabriel asked God. "It appears so…I give thou the order." God spoke to Gabriel.

Ascension 2:2

Gabriel sent down 30 Angels of his army to The Followers camp. The Followers fired catapults and arrows immediately, and God as well as Heaven witnessed Angels bleed for the first time. 18 Angels fell to the ground deceased before even making contact. Gabriel was furious. He called off The Angels. "ꁅꁲꃳꌅ꒐ꑀ꒒? ꅐꁝꐔ ꁝꁲꋖꁝ ꋖꁝꊿꌈ ꏳꁲ꒒꒒ꑀꀷ ꋖꁝꑀꂵ ꃳꁲꏳꈵ?"⁴ ARGOS asked. "Do you not see?" Gabriel said. "They have grown far smarter than we thought…They can eradicate a simple Angel…We need something powerful enough to deal with them.." Gabriel said. "ARGOS, Holy one. We shall work together to create a being." Gabriel spoke. "ꊿꁝ ꏳꊿꈜꂵ꒐ꏳ ꑀꐔꑀ, ꒒ꑀꃔꀷ ꂵꑀ ꉣꊿꅐꑀꌅ ꋖꊿ ꏳꌅꑀꁲꋖꑀ ꁲ ꃳꑀ꒐ꃔꁅ ꋖꊿ ꀷꑀꈜꋖꌅꊿꐔ ꋖꁝꑀꈜꑀ ꅐꊿꌅꈜꁝ꒐ꉣꑀꌅꈜ ꊿꊯ ꋖꁝꑀ ꊯꑀꁲꌅꑀꀷ ꊿꃔꑀ"⁵ ARGOS said. ARGOS felt empowered by a large force of energy, and in days, had created a massive being, ZEVAGOTH. It was much like an instance of JUDGEMENT, but much stronger, it was hundreds of feet tall, and could decimate anything in its path. ARGOS Beamed it down to earth, and as The Followers saw it, they felt true fear for the first time. They fired their catapults and arrows, but it had no effect. ZEVAGOTH Released a roar that shook the ground, and slashed with its claws at the camp. It took only minutes to eradicate it. The Angel Azrael watched all of this, and questioned. "God…Do pardon me for questioning you and your actions but…Is massacring humans truly the answer to these problems? How many lives have to fall before we are satisfied?" Azrael asked. God took Azrael's words into consideration. "Your words mean much, Azrael..And I believe you are right…our actions are unjust..This is not the way." God spoke. But it was too late. ZEVAGOTH had completely annihilated The Followers and their camp, but the skull was nowhere to be found. ARGOS had tried to call off ZEVAGOTH, but It wouldn't listen. It was out of control.

Ascension 3:2

ZEVAGOTH roamed the earth, and was a threat. it would attack anything, human, angel, or animal, Immediatly upon sight. It was a ruthless creature. God himself had gone to earth and buried ZEVAGOTH into the ground, binded in chains. It was buried under hundreds of feet of rock and dirt, deep in the earth. This was its punishment for what it had done. But the biggest problem to Heaven and earth, was the missing skull. After ZEVAGOTH destroyed the camp of The Followers, the Skull of Ixodius was nowhere to be found. It had been taken by some of The Followers to a seperate camp the minute they saw another creature being beamed down from the heavens. And admits all other things, They found the box. The Followers brought the box to their new camp, and placed It by the skull. They unsealed the box, and the darkness spewed out to the skull. It began growing, breaking through the camp. Blades, arrows and deep cuts in Ixodius from his last battle still remained. Minutes later, Earth and Heaven heard a sound that made them stop cold. A deep hatred fueled roar of anger and misery. Ixodius has been reformed. Gabriel was horrified. ARGOS was terrified. God, was afraid.

Ascension 4:2

//Ixodius breathed and stared down at the people beneath him. "₩ⱧɎ ₳ⱤɆ ɎØɄ ₦Ø₮ ₳₣Ɽ₳łĐ?" Ixodius asked. "Oh our savior, we do not fear you. We are the ones who have put you back together. You are our savior. We will aid you by any means neccesary." the leader of The Followers said. Ixodius pondered. "VɆⱤɎ ₩ɆⱠⱠ ₮ⱧɆ₦. ₩Ɇ ₴Ⱨ₳ⱠⱠ ฿Ɇ ₱ⱤɆ₱₳ⱤɆĐ ₣ØⱤ ⱧɆ₳VɆ₦ ₮Ø ₴₮Ɽł₭Ɇ ₳₲₳ł₦₴₮ ₥Ɇ, ₳₦Đ Ʉ₴." Ixodius spoke. Ixodius and The Followers of Ixodius wandered the earth, searching. Occasionally, Ixodius would destroy a civilization to absorb their fear, and to consume. Heaven would always arrive to late, barely missing Ixodius and his followers by seconds as they arrive. Soon, Ixodius was fueled to the brim with energy and power. He released a distorted roar mixed with gurgled screams. Ixodius was calling to them. And they responded. All of heavens forces were sent to combat Ixodius. ARGOS had beamed everything he had to aid the Angels. Tens of thousands of human beings came to aid the fight. It was perfect. Ixodius had gaven his followers parts of his darkness powers, allowing them to de-materialize and re-materialize at will. They had extremely heightened strength and senses, and could detect beings in a radius. There were thousands of followers that showed up to the battle.

Ascension 5:2

The battle lasted over 47 years. And nearing the end, Ixodius and his remaining followers retreated. The Followers had morphed into Ixodius, allowing him to absorb their bodies of darkness into his, and Ixodius spoke. "ɎØɄ Ⱨ₳VɆ ɎØɄⱤ ₣ØⱤ₵Ɇ₴ ₥₳ĐɆ ฿Ɏ ₳ ₵ⱤɆ₳₮ɄⱤɆ ɎØɄ ₴ⱧØɄⱠĐ ₣Ɇ₳Ɽ. ₳Ɽ₲Ø₴ ł₴ ₦Ø₮ ₳ ₴₳VłØⱤ ฿Ʉ₮ ₳ ₵Ø₩₳ⱤĐ, ₣ØⱠⱠØ₩ł₦₲ ØⱤĐɆⱤ₴ ₮Ø Ø฿ɆɎ. ⱧɆ ₣Ɇ₳Ɽ₴ ɎØɄ ₳ⱠⱠ.

He roared as his body and skull were absorbed by a dark black and red beam, and Ixodius and his followers disapeared. Heaven celebrated, but was quickly shut down by Gabriel. "FOOLS!" Gabriel shouted. "WHY ARE WE CELEBRATING?! IXODIUS HAD MASSACARED THOUSANDS OF HUMANS IN JUST THESE LAST YEARS! AND HE IS GONE BUT FULLY FORMED! HE WILL BE BACK!" Gabriel shouted again. Everyone stopped dead cold. Gabriel was right. Ixodius was still fully formed, and only retreated. "We need to all train, now." Gabriel spoke. Gabriel selected his second in command, Raphael, to train humans to combat Ixodius when he next returned. "Retreat back to the holy grounds, Angels." Gabriel said, as he, and all the Angels beamed back up into the heavens. "What do we do, Holy Father?" Gabriel had asked God. "We wait. and we prepare. Ixodius is very unpredictable..and dangerous.." God said. Gabriel nodded his head and walked away. Gabriel spent years and years training Angels, and with the help of God, creating new ones. Better ones. In 300 years, Gabriel had an army of over 100,000 Angels at his disposal. Gabriel beamed down to earth to Raphael. "Raphael, How are the earth beings coming along?" Gabriel asked. "Very good sir! They are…Well, very smart. they picked up fast, and passed their skills on to their youth to continue teachings. we have millions of humans to fight with us, sir." Raphael said to Gabriel. "Very very good…" Gabriel said. "The time has come for preperation, Raphael. Let us return to the Holy Grounds." Gabriel said. "Yes, sir." Raphael spoke. Gabriel beamed himself and Raphael back to heaven. "Now what do we do, Gabriel?" Raphael asked. "We wait." Gabriel answered. "We wait until that wretched being returns…And when he does…We will be prepared for him." Gabriel said.

Cosmic 1:1

Hundreds and thousands of years passed…Ixodius never returned. Heaven and Earth had eased themselves. but something else occured. Randomly, a rift in time itself had torn open. Allowing beings from other realities and universes to enter ours, and Earth. A being they called "The Tyrant" Had emerged from a rift on earth, and towered over everything. It was over 5,000 feet tall, and it spoke in a loud distorted voice. "YOU ALL NOW FOLLOW MY RULE OR PERISH. I AM YOUR NEW SAVIOR AND GOD OF THIS REALM." It spoke. Humanity declined it, and it began attacking. The Tyrant had caused mass amounts of damage, and killed hundreds of thousands of people…God and The Cosmic Eye had one final decision. They created a being known as "The Guardian". It was a massive, 4000 foot tall creature. It wielded a large blade and a shield. The Guardian created 48 Doors to withhold any entities that were too powerful for Heaven or earth to deal with. The Guardian fought with the Tyrant, and after 3 years, Had pacified it. The Guardian beamed The Tyrant into the 45th Door, and sealed it with bindings and a lock. A part of the earth destroyed by The Tyrant, floated above earth. The Guardian used some of its power to form divine stairs leading to this part of the earth. It was massive, and The Guardian expanded it. It placed The 48 Doors on this part of the earth, sealed by a large gate. The Guardian rests on this place, known as The Door Garden. Hundreds of years passed, and The Guardian still laid dormant. Nothing else had emerged from the Rifts. During these times, Humans had made the concept of time. Thus making the First year, 1. On the 9th Year, A rift had torn the sky open. The Guardian immediately awoke. A massive, 6,000 foot tall entity, named "THE ANGEL" emerged. God, Gabriel, EVERYONE was confused. It resembled so closely to a mix between an Angel and one of ARGOS's creations. "Is that…one of ours?" Azrael asked. "No…" Spoke God. The Angel released a roar that shook The Heavens, and The Door Garden. The Guardian engaged in battle with The Angel, and this fight lasted many years. The Angel was powerful, very powerful. THE ANGEL had done damage to The Guardian. It had left deep gashes and marks in its armor, and dented its blade. But on the year 53, The Angel fell to the ground with a loud thud. The Guardian had sealed it behind The 46th Door, and binded the door in chains and locks of pure divine energy. Then, The Guardian went dormant once more.

Cosmic 2:1

In the year 192, A sudden force of disturbance had shook the earth. The Guardian awoke to this, and looked around. It spotted nothing. Ixodius worked away and created new beings. He named these "The Souls of The Damned." He created ones that closely resembled him, the Canius Dementers. They were savage, hyper intelligent hunters that could track and smell a human being from hundreds of meters away. They had razor teeth and claws, and could climb anything solid. Their heads were that of a Wolfs skull, much like Ixodius's. Hundreds of Canius Dementers found their way into a large settlement, and began massacring and devouring. This caught the attention of Gabriel. "Holy Father…There are..Creatures that look much like Ixodius down on earth….Tons of them!..They are causing severe damage.." Gabriel said to God. "What?" God asked. God had gone to Gabriel and observed this. "Oh my…" God said. "Ixodius must have created his own beings.." God spoke. Azrael came over. "Holy Father..If I must..But-" "Not now, Azrael." God interrupted. "…..Yes, Holy Father." Azrael said softly and walked away. Azrael took a chance, and beamed themself down to earth where the Canius Dementers were massacring. They immediately noticed Azrael and growled. "Hello there." Azrael said softly. The Canius Dementers were confused as to why Azrael did not run, or scream, but was instead seemingly interested in them. Azrael descended to the ground and softly landed in the grass. Azrael slowly approached a Canius Dementer. It growled at Azrael, but never lashed out. Azrael got right up next to it and pet its head. It stopped growling and relaxed itself, laying down on the ground. Azrael sat down next to it, and continued petting it. Azrael brushed its fur with their fingers. "See? not so bad, are we?" Azrael spoke softly. The Canius Dementer just let out a sigh seemingly, and put its head down on its legs. Azrael slowly put their arms under the Canius Dementer while it was laying down, and gently lifted it. "Xe'Thenet'Rethium" Azrael said, and was beamed up to Heaven with the Canius Dementer. "WHAT?!" Gabriel shouted. "PUT IT BACK BEFORE IT CAUSES DAMAGE HERE, AZRAEL!" Gabriel screamed at Azrael. "I don't think so, Gabriel. It's pacified, and under my watch." Azrael said. "Remember your place, Gabriel. You do not order me." Azrael said as they walked away with the Canius Dementer. Azrael brought the Canius Dementer to their quarters in Heaven, and gently laid it on the ground next to his bed. The Canius Dementer jumped up onto Azrael's bed. "Hey!…Uhhh..You just gonna lay there?" Azrael asked. Azrael sighed, and used some of their divine power to conjure a second bed next to theirs, this one was large enough to fit the Canius Dementer on it. Azrael gently lifted the Canius Dementer and moved it to the bed, then laid in their own. The Canius Dementer crawled over and nuzzled against Azrael. "what?" Azrael said. "Oh..You just gonna lay over here?" Azrael asked. The Canius Dementer bumped Azrael's hand with its snout. "I see." Azrael said, and began petting the Canius Dementer. The Canius Dementer relaxed, and fell asleep, as did Azrael.

Cosmic 3:1

Over time, the Canius Dementer that Azrael had kept, grew far larger than a normal one should. On all fours it was an astounding 14 feet tall. Gabriel DESPISED this creature, but knew there was nothing he could do about it. If God had allowed Azrael to have it, there was no saying otherwise. Gabriel had a strong dislike towards Azrael, mostly due to the fact that Gabriel knew he couldn't command or order Azrael. Azrael could order or command Gabriel, but they never have. However, Azrael does always make it known to Gabriel who ranks higher if Gabriel is to ever step out of line or act out. Azrael would very frequently hop up and ride on the back of their Canius Dementer to get around, and just to play. The Canius Dementer had no problem holding Azrael, as it was extremely strong. It could run for 2 days straight with Azrael on its back and still not get tired at all. Azrael constantly fed the creature and gave it water and sometimes treats. "You know..I need to give you a name..I can't just keep calling you nothing.." Azrael said. Azrael started thinking hard. "I'm going to name you Azarie." Azrael said. The Canius Dementer didn't understand at first, but over time understood that if anyone said "Azarie", they were referring to it. It responded and obeyed orders when its name was said. Azrael had imbued Azarie with Angelic Power, ensuring that it wouldn't die of aging, as well as cleansing it of darkness and Ixodius's influence. Despite clearly being a clean being allowed in to heaven, and now trained and following orders, Gabriel still absolutely despised Azarie. "Wretched hell spawn..how can we allow something made by The Feared One to be a creature of Stature here?.." Gabriel asked seemingly to nobody. And, nobody responded.

Cosmic 4:1

Despite his saying, Gabriel was silenced. If God had accepted Azarie and everybody else had, then so be it. By this point, Azarie no longer held its matte jet dark gray fur color, but had a white soft coat from the heavens. One of the first beings to ever ascend to heavenly status. Everyone loved Azarie and enjoyed their company, except Gabriel. Despite now staying quite now, Gabriel still held resent towards Azrael and Azarie. Gabriel had constantly tried to get God to listen, and to put Azrael in their place. "My child…" God said. "Do you not realize how clouded by rage and authority you are, dearest Gabriel?" God spoke. Gabriel thought of these words.."I do now, father. Thank you for clearing my vision." Gabriel said as he walked away. Gabriel had known that he was outranked by Azrael, and he knew that he couldn't have his way. But Gabriel swore himself to the Holy Father God. He would not let his own emotions and feelings corrupt him. Gabriel told himself every day to stay with God, and not let himself fall like Ixodius did. Azrael on the other hand, over the course of hundreds of years, had nothing to do. After Azrael had secured Azarie and solved the issue on earth with the Canius Dementers, they had nothing to do. God had never really given Azrael a purpose. Gabriel was the one made to lead Heavens forces, Raphael was his second in command, Micheal was to maintain balance, Camael for bargaining between forces dead or alive, but Azrael seemingly wasn't given a purpose, but was still one of the highest ranking Angels. Azrael grew curios, and craving knowledge. Azrael hopped up on Azarie's back and they rode over to God's chambers. God heard the pattered footsteps of Azarie's paws. "Ah, greetings, Azrael." God spoke. Azrael bowed down swiftly, Azarie doing the same. Azrael climbed off of Azarie and approached God. "Heavenly father…i have been curious as of late, and wondering of something." Azrael said. "What is it Azrael?" God spoke. "Well…" Azrael began. "All the other Angels seemingly have a purpose and were created for it…Gabriel for leading our Forces, Raphael to keep Gabriel in check and to be his second in command, Micheal to maintain balance, and Camael for bargaining.." Azrael said. "But what is my purpose, Heavenly Father?…I don't ever recall having one, just being a higher rank than most others…" Azrael spoke to God. God sat there as Azrael spoke. "Azrael, my child.." God spoke. "Your job is what you are doing now. To maintain Order. to keep others in check and lighten spirits." God spoke. Azrael's eyes beamed, excited by being praised by God. "Thank you, Heavenly Father." Azrael spoke as they climbed up on Azarie's back, and they walked away.

Cosmic 5:1

Forces and time were at peace once more. Humanity was flourishing and no longer in fear of attacks from Ixodius or beings from other realities. The Guardian was always swift to contain anything from a rift into a door. Heaven had balance and control over situations, and everyone was safe, secure. The human concept of time had advanced so far and so much. Heaven thought of it as interesting enough to dawn it in the Heavens. Humans had created times, "AM" and "PM" as they called it. And each "AM" or "PM" Ranged from times like 12AM-12PM. Their tools and intelligence were constantly evolving, new things being made, new ways to make their lives easier, and ways to defend against unwanted beings. But things started getting out of hand. Humanity created a weapon they called a "cannon". It used large spherical balls called cannon balls, and used a gunpowder fuse to explode and propel the ball at high speeds, with extreme destructive power. Boats and ships were built much stronger and much more able to carry larger things, weapons, people. They were just made better. Cannons started being mounted to ships in large amount, and the first acts of piracy had started. People on the waters were constantly firing their cannons at one another, trying to get their riches and spoils for their own. On a particular event, two ships from two rival cities already having conflicts came to a cannon fire with each other. The already burning flame that was so close to war was now ignited. Hundreds of ships from each country were sent to foreign waters of the other country. hundreds of thousands dead. Hundreds of ships sank, and even more blood spilled in the water. Azrael and Michael watched from above. "Michael.." Azrael began. "Your job is to maintain order…what has happened here? Why are they at war between each other?" Azrael asked. "I'm…Not sure..It's been so long since I had to deal with order..Why are they not calm and joyful admits each other?" Michael asked, seemingly to nobody. Azrael and Michael grew deep concern..

Darkness 1:1

Chaos ensued over earth. The two cities fighting in a war against each other sparked outwards to other parts of earth. Only 8 years after the two cities began this war, 10 others joined. thousands dead. Saint Peter was overworked, as well as other Angels trying to deal with the mass amount of people dying and awaiting judgement. God and ARGOS were concerned. Gabriel was contemplating a purge of earth. Azrael and Michael sat watching. Then something clicked in Azrael's head. Azrael looked over at Azarie and had a realization. "Wait.." Azrael said. "Hm?" Michael turned to Azrael. "Sudden fighting and anger towards each other…Possibly caused by an influence of fear?" Azrael said. "What are you meaning, Azrael?" Michael asked. "Think about it." Azrael began. "What else in this world has caused Mass casualties and fighting over influences of fear and death? What other being seeks this kind of chaos and death upon everything with light?" Azrael asked. "Hm-wait…You don't possibly think.." Michael said. "I'm afraid so.." Azrael said. "IXODIUS.."

Darkness 2:1

Azrael climbed up on the back of Azarie and took off at full speed to God's chambers. Michael sat back and observed the war. God and ARGOS were conversating over why earth was in such a war, and what could be happening. Azrael and Azarie burst through the gate. #gold|"My Heavens!"## God exclaimed. "Azrael, what is making you so afraid my child? You're covered in sweat!" God exlaimed. "ꅐꁝꁲꋖ ꒐ꈜ ꋖꁝꑀ ꂵꑀꁲꃔ꒐ꃔꁅ ꊿꊯ ꐔꊿꌈꌅ ꊯꑀꁲꌅ, ꁲꑒꌅꁲꑀ꒒?"⁶ Argos asked. Azarie was panting, not really excersizing or running much. "The last thing you want to know.." Azrael said. God and ARGOS looked at each other confused. "Ixodius.." Azrael said. God and ARGOS stopped cold. "ꅐꁝꁲꋖ ꂵꁲꈵꑀꈜ ꐔꊿꌈ ꃳꑀ꒒꒐ꑀ꒦ꑀ ꋖꁝꁲꋖ ꋖꁝꑀ ꊯꑀꁲꌅꑀꀷ ꊿꃔꑀ ꒐ꈜ ꃳꑀꁝ꒐ꃔꀷ ꋖꁝ꒐ꈜ ꏳꊿꃔꊯ꒒꒐ꏳꋖ, ꁲꑒꌅꁲꑀ꒒?"⁷ Argos asked. "Think about this, ARGOS…What other being has caused a sudden influence that has created mass conflict? an influence of FEAR." Azrael said. God and ARGOS considered Azrael's words. "Do we know where Ixodius and or his followers are?" Azrael asked. "I don't believe so..But do make it priori-" God had said, but was interupted by Gabriel bursting through the gate. "Gabriel? What has the great warrior Gabriel afraid?" Azrael asked, sort of smugly. "It's IXODIUS.." Gabriel barked at Azrael angrily, and scared. "Ixodius burst out of the ground 782 miles west of The Door Garden." Gabriel said. "How long ago was this?!" God asked hurridly. "Just now, Heavenly Father." Gabriel said in a panic. "Disperse the forces of Heaven, Gabriel." God said. "Yes, heavenly Father." Gabriel said swiftly, as he ran out the gate. Azrael heard Gabriel shouting at his army in a panic. Hundreds of beams were sent to earth to disperse the Angelic Forces. "Argos.." Azrael said. "ꅐꁝꁲꋖ ꒐ꈜ ꒐ꋖ, ꁲꑒꌅꁲꑀ꒒?"⁸Argos asked. "Do you think something must be made to deal with this?…A new being?…" Azrael asked. ARGOS pondered, then shook his head. palevioletred|"Understood, ARGOS."## Azrael said. Azrael climbed back up onto Azarie and they exited the gate of God's chambers.

Darkness 3:1

Ixodius thrashed through civilizations as he made his way towards The Door Garden. his followers had shared with him information about The 48 Doors, and the beings they withhold. This was the perfect thing for Ixodius to do to allow him to finally unleash his wrath upon this realm. The already existing fear and pain from the war and death admits earth, and the Fear of Heaven, had greatly empowered Ixodius. Ixodius was closing in fast on The Door Garden. with his size and speeds, Ixodius was moving at hundreds of miles per hour. Heavens forces intercepted Ixodius within 27 minutes of being dispersed. But they stood no chance. With Ixodius's knew knowledge and power from fear, he simply swatted them like flies. Angelic blood spilled on the ground. Humans stopped their wars and locked their eyes onto Ixodius. everybody knew what he was, and that whatever he was doing, if not stopped, would be the end of their existance. Cannons fired at Ixodius, catching him off guard. Ixodius had no idea what these new weapons were, but they were powerful. And they hurt. Ixodius let out a pained roar. Black fluid and blood spewed from his maw. The tears of blood no longer dripped from his empty dark eyes, but poured from them like a waterfall. His body shook but he stayed standing. His roar shook the grounds of the earth. Heaven unleashed their next volley of their Forces. 900 Angels. This army of Angels survived the first attack, being backed up by cannon fire. beings of BLISS and JUDGEMENT found their way to aid the battle. Ixodius stood still momentarily. His eyes gaining a small, dark yet bright red dot in the center. This dot expanded and contorted until his eyes were filled with a dark bloody red glare. Ixodius shook as he unhinged his jaw, and a beam of darkness and blood was unleashed. It cut through The Angels and humans like the sun melting snow. Blood and black liquid spewed onto the ground beneath him. Ixodius blasted the beam outwards with more power to it, obliterating the ships that were hitting him with cannon fire. Then Ixodius aimed his head up, and blasted the beam towards the Heavens. This beam struck the barrier of Heaven, and began damaging it. Concern was high in the Heavens, so was Fear. But the barrier held up. After 2 minutes, Ixodius had stopped firing the beam. Blood and sinew, as well as a dark black liquid poured from his mouth as he closed it. Ixodius let out a roar before sprinting back towards The Door Garden. Canius Dementers appeared from seemingly nowhere, hundreds of them, and accompanied Ixodius.

Darkness 4:1

As Ixodius had approached The Door Garden. he froze. The Guardian had moved its head after being dormant for hundreds of years. It saw Ixodius. Ixodius saw it. Ixodius stepped foot into The Door Garden, and The Guardian immediately grabbed its blade from the ground and began approaching Ixodius. Ixodius backed up away off the entrance of The Door Garden. The Guardian kept following. Ixodius knew it wouldn't give up until one of them had fallen, so he engaged. The Guardian raised its blade and quickly brought it down upon Ixodius. It collided with him, and tore almost entirely through Ixodius's lower back. Ixodius roared in extreme pain and anger. Ixodius retaliated with a swift slash from his claws to The Guardian, breaking through its armor and leaving deep gashes and claw marks in both the armor and The Guardian itself. The Guardian brought its blade to the air once more, and brought it down. Ixodius had tried to catch the blade, but that only resulted in it slicing straight through his hands, and colliding with the front of his skull, severely cracking it. Native tribes unleashed arrows upon Ixodius, which did nothing but mildly pain him. More ships arrived on the coast, and began unleashing hell upon Ixodius. ground artilery and cannons were brought and also unleashed upon Ixodius. While being stunned and barraged by cannons and riflery, The Guardian brought down its blade on Ixodius's torso, and split him in half. Ixodius did not roar, but Screamed. The sound made every living being cringe, and even feel remorse. It was a distorted, gurgled cry in the scream. Pure pain, pure sadness, pure hatred and anger. Ixodius's body made of pure darkness reformed, but was visibly shown where he was split in half. His spine reformed and connected, but his flesh and body did not fully. Ixodius's eyes quickly grew dark red, his mouth steaming and suddenly secreting even more blood and darkness. Ixodius's jaw spread as he unleashed another Beam, only this time was quickly struck by The Guardian's Blade once more. Ixodius was thrown to the ground by the immense force of the blade. This caused massive shaking of the earth. Ixodius had gotten back up swiftly after being thrown down, and opened his jaw. Ixodius lunged out and caught the blade in his jaws, and quickly attempted to break it with his jaw. He failed, it was too strong. The Guardian, using his other hand, punched Ixodius straight in the skull, removing him from the blade and slamming him down to the ground once more. The Guardian's fist was so strong that it cracked Ixodius's skull even further. Ixodius was taking severe fatal damage…The tears of blood from his eyes stopped, and his eyes filled with it. His maw secreted pools of blood and sinew, bone and darkness. He unleashed a beam upon the blade of The Guardian. The Guardian attempted to block the beam with its shield, but the beam was far more powerful, almost instantly shattering the shield. The Guardian used the blade to divert the beam in a manner, but noticed the blade was quickly cracking. Only seconds later, The Guardian's blade shattered. Ixodius blasted the guardian with his full power focused into this beam. The Guardian's armor started taking severe damage, and The Guardian was moving backwards, unable to stay stationary due to the immense power of the beam Ixodius was unleashing. Blood and darkness poured out of Ixodius's eyes and mouth, aswell as places where he had been severely damaged. The sleek white quartz floors of The Door Garden were painted in a dark gory red. The beam stopped only 40 seconds after it was unleashed. Ixodius seemingly panting in exhaustion as lakes worth of blood and darkness spewed from his mouth. seeing Ixodius seemingly out of energy, The Guardian rushed towards him and prepared to unleash a powerful punch to Ixodius. Ixodius lifted his head to see The Guardian aproaching, and quickly let out a roar, this one, sounded afraid. The tears of blood from Ixodius had turned into yellow tears, like that of an Angel. The Guardian stopped in its tracks. one more strike from The Guardian would completely shatter Ixodius's skull. Both The Guardian and Ixodius knew this. Ixodius shook and barely managed to stay up. His eyes dark, his tears now that of an Angels, mixed with dark blood red tears. Ixodius's angelic blood dripped from his body onto the ground. He had actually severely damaged, his true blood dripping. Ixodius was near death. He seemed to gasp for air. Ixodius collapsed to the ground loudly. And as he fell, moments later, pure darkness surrounded him, and seemingly dispersed. Laying on the ground in front of the 44th door, Ixodius's Angelic form. Beaten, torn, bloodied and severely wounded. Azrael from above took immediate notice and ran to God. "SIR!" Azrael shouted "IXODIUS IS….Him again….He's no longer that monster…He's his old form when he was an Angel." Azrael stated. God's eyes took interest as he came over. God saw Ixodius's angelic form laying on the ground…His ears perked down. His wings torn, one of them with no folds. His body was scratched and torn..Bloodied and bruised. His fur dirtied, his halo cracked, nearly shattered. His fur matted in his own blood. His clothing torn and burned…His Angelic form had seemingly fused partly with his Darkness form..Tears of pain and sorrow flowed from his empty eyes..

Purity 1:1

God felt for the first time towards Ixodius, regret..acceptance. Gabriel saw this on God's eye. "Holy Father…You certainly can't be thinking of bringing him back!..Even if he is in an Angelic form once more..We can't forgive him." Gabriel said. "Gabriel, my child. All are able to be forgiven, and all are able to be shown love." God said. Ixodius was barely breathing. Even in his Angelic form, his blood was pouring from his mouth. He coughed and gagged, his vision fading in and out. Ixodius's head was racing. ""Am I going to die?"…. "Is this really how it ends for me?" Ixodius thought….Then he was absorbed by a light. Ixodius felt his body ascending as it lifted off the ground. Gabriel was furious. Azrael was slightly Happy, and Curios. Michael, was concerned. Ixodius started blinking, adjusting to the bright lights of Heaven. "Where…..what…" Ixodius had spoken, stammering, still gagging on his own blood. He had identified that he was in some sort of heavenly-like bed. "Lay back down and rest, Ixodius." Azrael spoke. Ixodius looked around to find the voice, and there was Azrael, sitting next to him on the bed. "Who…Azrael?" Ixodius asked. Azrael nodded their head. "What am i…you…doing here?" Ixodius asked. "You almost died down there." Azrael said. "But against Gabriel and most of heavens every wishes, God allowed me to bring you up here." Azrael had spoken to Ixodius. Ixodius looked at his hands and body. "Where….are my claws and….why is my body whole again…I'm as if I were…me again…before my descension…" Ixodius asked. "You fought with The Door Guardian, Ixxy. You almost died but..It showed you mercy when you started bleeding, but, bleeding your OWN angelic blood. one more hit from it and you would have been dead." Azrael said. "….Why would anybody show me mercy…" Ixodius asked. "And….what did you call me, Azrael?" Ixodius asked. "Oh, I called you Ixxy. You know, kind of short for Ixodius." Azrael said. "If you don't like it then I can-" "No…It's…fine." Ixodius interupted. Azrael nodded and put their hand on the top of Ixodius's skull, gently lying him back down. "Rest, Ixxy. you're hurt." Azrael said. seeing as Ixodius had laid down and closed his eyes, Azrael got into the bed next to his and done the same, waking up occasionally to check on Ixodius.

Rage 1:1

Gabriel sat In his chambers. He was furious, full of resent. "HOW COULD THEY LET THAT HELL SPAWN IN THE HOLY GROUNDS?!" Gabriel shouted as he threw his blade across the room. "Sir…If I must…You need to calm down." Raphael said. "HOW CAN I BE CALM WITH THIS BEING IN THE HEAVENS WITH US?!" Gabriel shouted. Raphael cowered and lowered themselves down. Gabriel's wings ruffled and shifted. "Sir…Ixodius had done plenty of wrong…But he was still forgiven, so there must be a reason." Raphael said, afraid of being shouted at again by Gabriel. "You're right, Raphael…God must have a reason for an action this dangerous.." Gabriel said, breathing slowly and calming down. "But I need to question him. There should be no reason for this..'Creature' to be allowed back in here after what he has done…How many humans and Angels he has massacared…" Gabriel said. "Understood, sir." Raphael said.

Purity 2:1

Azrael awoke, and Ixodius was still laying there. Ixodius's wounds were seemingly healing very well. Azrael got up and walked around to the front of Ixodius. Azrael began examining Ixodius's skull carefully. It was badly cracked and damaged. Azrael hesitated, but gently put their hand on Ixodius's skull and felt the nose bridge, and all the cracked places. Ixodius moved and shifted slightly, but didn't awake. The skull was smooth, but at places where it was cracked, were coarse and felt like a broken bone. "I can only imagine your pain and misery…now and before.." Azrael gently whispered to themselves. Ixodius's ears twitched and he mumbled something in his sleep. Ixodius seemed uncomfortable, and started waking up. Azrael sat down next to Ixodius on the bed and placed their hand on his head. Ixodius seemed to settle back down quickly. Azrael pet his head gently and softly. Azrael started quitely humming a melody. Ixodius's ears perked up. "Hm?" Azrael asked themselves. Ixodius's eyes slowly blinked open. "Az…Azrael?.." Ixodius asked. "Mhm…morning, Ixodius." Azrael stated. "Why do you stay h..here…and care about…m…me…of all beings…" Ixodius asked. "Not sure…but…You've always caught my interest from the day You and I were created by God." Azrael said, smiling at Ixodius. "By the way, Ixxy..About your, well, I guess face but, Your Skull…It wasn't there when you were an Angel..why is it still?" Azrael asked. "I'm…Not s-sure…" Ixodius started. "It…Formed after I descended…Just like my body changed…" Ixodius said. "Is there still hatred or feelings left in you, Ixxy?" Azrael asked. Ixodius thought and pondered…Azrael placed their hand over Ixodius's heart. "You've always had a heart, Ixxy. You know that, right?" Azrael asked. Ixodius was caught off guard, and alerted by Azrael's sudden movement and words. "Uhh..T-thank you..Azrael…" Ixodius said. Azrael placed their hands on the front of Ixodius's skull. their hands began glowing with a yellow and white color. A white flash of light blasted from the chamber. Ixodius's skull was gone, and his old face was there. Ixodius felt around his face. "Where's…my skull?…what did you do Azrael?.." Ixodius asked. "I used my Purification ability on you, Ixxy. Seems like it worked." Azrael said. Ixodius sat there…It felt better, like a huge weight was removed from him. he felt lighter, capable of accepting emotions and feelings…"I'm sorry that I don't have any sort of healing magic…none of the Angels do..That's why were having you rest here, because it will heal you over time." Azrael said. "Some…earth humans…know healing magic…" Ixodius said. "They-..They do?" Azrael asked. Ixodius nodded. His eyes were tired and barely open. "My…Followers…..Will heal me…" Ixodius said. "Do you want me to bring you to them, Ixxy?" Azrael asked. Ixodius nodded once more. "Alright then.." Azrael said. "How are you going to get me to them?…" Ixodius asked. Azrael put their arms under Ixodius and lifted him out of the bed. "I can make you very light using Angelic Power." Azrael said. For the first time ever, Azrael's wings opened from their clothing. They descended down to earth for the first time. "Do you know where any of them are, Ixxy?" Azrael asked, floating in the air. Ixodius pointed to a large dark purple colored fire. Azrael flew over to it. "HALT!- OH GOD IT'S AN ANGEL!" The Followers began to prepare an attack. "Halt, Humans." Azrael said. "I do not come here seeking your destruction. I bear with me your lord, Ixodius. we seek your healing magic to aid him." Azrael stated. The Followers looked admits each other, then at Ixodius in Azrael's arms. "Fine, Angel…We thank you for not being like the rest…You are just and seek aid for others not yourself." The lead follower said. "Very well, and thank you." Azrael said, descending to the ground. "Follow us." some of The Followers spoke. Azrael followed them to a tent, where they laid Ixodius down on a bed. 4 of The Followers channeled magic into a healing spell on Ixodius. Azrael watched as Ixodius's wounds quickly disappeared and healed. within minutes, the spell stopped. "This is all we can do for him." The Followers stated. "You have done plenty to help him. His pain i'm sure is subdued greatly thanks to you. You may have dark intentions, but you are good people. Still helping him even after he shows no interest in being a ruler anymore." Azrael said to The Followers. "And you, Angel, are of the best in the Heavens." The leader said. "My name is Azrael." Azrael said to them. "Farewell, Humans." Azrael said as they beamed back into the Heavens.

Purity 3:1

Within days after being healed by his Followers, Ixodius was wandering the Heavens once more. He still had his dark gray fur, not turned to full Angel yet. Everywhere he went, other Angels would stare at him. They never looked happy, they looked judgemental and angered by his presence. Ixodius felt hated and outcasted there…All except for Azrael. Ixodius went to see Azrael every day. one day, he spoke to Azrael. "Azrael…the other Angels don't seem to like me at all..They all stare at me wherever I go, they look judgemental and untrusting..angered by me.." Ixodius said, sounding sad. Azrael took these words and had a sudden slight disqusted look on their face. "Ixxy?" Azrael said. Ixodius looked up to see Azrael holding their hand out with a smile. Ixodius took it. Azrael and Ixodius walked out of Azrael's chambers. The other Angels looked oddly at Ixodius but would say hello and smile at Azrael. Any time someone spoke badly of Ixodius or looked at him with disqust or anger, Azrael would stare them down. After this went on for a few days, No other Angels would talk bad of Ixodius or look at him with resent. Except for Gabriel. Gabriel would never treat him with any respect, despite being outranked. Ixodius outranked even Azrael, despite listening and taking commands from Azrael. One day, as Ixodius was walking, he came across Gabriel. Ixodius was alone with him. Gabriel approached Ixodius. Gabriel pinned Ixodius against a wall. "Whatever your plan is, HELLSPAWN.. Whatever you're trying to do here.." Gabriel said, snarling. "I WILL see through it..And i'll be the first one to drive my blade through your heartless body." Gabriel snapped at Ixodius. Gabriel let go of Ixodius and turned the other way, walking back to his chambers. Ixodius's eyes were petrified, and he was shaking, afraid. Ixodius made his way over to Azrael's chambers. "A-Azrael?.." Ixodius said, still shaking from his encounter with Gabriel. "Ixxy? What do you-…What happened?..Why do you look so horrified..and why are you shaking so much?…" Azrael asked, worried. Ixodius had a single tear run from his eye. Ixodius looked at Azrael, and told him what happened between him and Gabriel just moments before. Azrael's expression went from worry to a mix of Anger and defensiveness. "Stay here in my chambers, Ixxy." Azrael said, their wings flaring as they blasted out of their chamber door. Gabriel was sitting in his own chambers, thinking of what Ixodius could be plotting with Raphael. "Just think Raphael…Ixodius might have played us by pretending to be hurt…false purifying himself…I swear, I'm going to be the one to kill tha-" Azrael burst through the roof of Gabriel's chambers, landing just 20 or so feet away from him. Gabriel looked at Azrael as they stood up from their landing. "Azrael? You know there's a door, what has you coming in so su-" "Gabriel. You and me need to talk, ₦Ø₩." Azrael's voice distorted a bit. "Raphael, Leave." Azrael said. Raphael quickly ran out of Gabriel's chamber.

Rage 2:1

Gabriel saw Azrael's face, their expression was angered heavily. Azrael swiftly approached Gabriel. "What did you do to Ixodius?" Azrael asked calmly. Gabriel looked at Azrael. "I..I didn't do anythi-" Gabriel was interrupted by Azrael slamming their fist straight through a wall. "You and I BOTH know that if I'm here, you did something, Gabriel." Azrael stated. "…You already know from Ixodius what happened, Azrael." Gabriel said, standing up. Gabriel walked closer to Azrael, getting in their space. "And what are you going to do, Azrael?" Gabriel asked. "Do something stupid enough to get yourself cast away just like your precious little Ixodius did?" Gabriel said. Azrael stood there for a moment, before exhaling and blasting back through Gabriel's chamber roof. Gabriel sat back down and wiped his forehead from the sweat. "Azrael is scary as hell itself when they're angry." Gabriel said. "Raphael, you can come back here now." Gabriel said. Raphael walked back in and observed the shattered hole in the roof and the hole in the wall. "Was that, you sir?-"Raphael asked Gabriel. "No…Azrael." Gabriel said. Raphael was surprised, but said nothing.

Compassion 1:1

Azrael landed back in front of their chambers door and walked in. Ixodius was sleeping on their bed. Azrael softly walked over and put their hand on Ixodius's head. "It's ok, Ixxy. Gabriel won't ever hurt you…" Azrael softly whispered. Ixodius awoke. "Thank..you.." Ixodius said. For the first time, Azrael saw Ixodius smile. He had never smiled, even when he was first created. His expression was always either Curiosity, Ashamed, or Angered. Ixodius slowly got up off of Azrael's bed and approached Azrael. "Do you need anything, Ixxy?" Azrael asked. Ixodius had a million thoughts running through his head. A million things he wanted to say and to do..But he was too afraid to do or say any of them. Ixodius slowly shook his head no. "Alright then…Do you want to go back to the healing room or what?…You don't really have your own chamber…" Azrael said. "Can…I stay here?.." Ixodius asked shyly. "Oh!..That's fine, Ixxy." Azrael said. "There's…not really many activities or things to do here.." Azrael said. "When you were down there, Did earth have any activities or anything of the sorts?" Azrael asked. "Well….Humans hunted animals for fun…." Ixodius said. "They also practiced magic…" Ixodius said. "There might be hundreds more things….I never spoke to or interacted with many humans..Just my followers…and some outsiders.." Ixodius said. Azrael nodded. Azrael didn't know what it was about Ixodius, but hearing his voice made them calmer. It brought them a sense of purity. "Hey, Ixxy…" Azrael asked. "Huh?" Ixodius responded. "You'd..tell me anything, right?.." Azrael asked. "Y-yes!..Of course I would…You're the nicest being I know and the only one who seems to truly..care.." Ixodius said. "Well…I have many questions…" Azrael started. "What made you do the things you did?..You know..Influence Caine and Lucifer?.." Azrael asked. Ixodius looked at Azrael. "Boredom…Curiosity..I wanted to see if I could, which is why I tried Caine first…after learning of my power..I did it to Lucifer because I was afraid he would cause me to be exposed.." Ixodius said. "Hm…" Azrael said. Azrael had moved a bit closer to Ixodius, and noticed that his tail started moving. Azrael took note of this, and moved closer. Ixodius's tail moved faster, and Ixodius seemed to turn away slightly, hiding his face. "A-Azrael..What are you doing?.." Ixodius asked. "Oh, sorry.." Azrael said as they moved back to their original spot. Azrael grinned for a few seconds, but rested their face quickly. Ixodius sighed, and laid down. Azrael snapped and a second bed appeared next to their own. "Hey, Ixxy." Azrael said. "Hm?- Oh!..Is that for me..?" Ixodius asked. Azrael nodded. Ixodius crawled over into the new bed and rested. Azrael reached over and gently pet his head, before heading to sleep themself. Azrael slowly woke up to the sound of heavy breathing. "Hm?…Ixxy?.." Azrael groaned, blinking awake. "Ixxy, what's wrong?" Azrael asked. "N-Nothing!" Ixodius quickly said as he turned away from Azrael. "Uhh…Alright then.." Azrael said. Ixodius kept panting. "Hey…Seriously, what's wrong Ixxy?" Azrael asked. "I-It's N-Nothing…R-Really.." Ixodius stuttered. Azrael sighed, and Ixodius heard the bed move as Azrael moved closer to him. Ixodius started breathing faster and heavier. Azrael wrapped their arms around Ixodius and pulled him closer, Azrael's hand on his heart, his other wrapped around his torso. "You're heartbeat is very quickly accelerating, Ixxy…Are you ok?" Azrael asked worriedly. Ixodius calmed down quickly to Azrael's comfort, but at the same time, made his heart beat faster. He felt love for Azrael, but was afraid to tell them. Ixodius felt all sorts of weird emotions and feelings in his body. His face was crimson, and his breathing fast and heavy. Azrael kept their hand on Ixodius's heart, and kept him in a hug. Azrael released Ixodius with his other arm, keeping their other hand still on his heart. Azrael pet Ixodius's head softly. "You're ok..I don't know what's upsetting you, but you're safe..I'm here." Azrael whispered to Ixodius. Ixodius's heartbeat slowed down to normal, comforted by Azrael's words and comfort.

Compassion 2:1

Azrael knew that they had developed feelings for Ixodius. They were just afraid to tell Ixodius..They didn't want Ixodius to be akward near them if they did tell Ixodius, if they didn't feel the same..The next day, Azrael and Ixodius walked out of Azrael's chamber. As they walked to The Observing Room to watch humans do things, they walked past Gabriel, who gave both of them a disqusted stare. "Do you have a problem, Gabriel?" Azrael asked, irritated. "Yes, Azrael, I do have a problem." Gabriel said snarkily. "You brought this disqusting HELLSPAWN up here with The Angels even after everything 'IT' has done. The thousands of Angels it has massacared, the unnessescary human lives that were lost." Gabriel started. "And the most disqusting thing of all is how YOU, of all Angels, Are the one okay with this. You keep him around and care for him like a pet or a Child. It's disqusting." Gabriel said. Azrael clenched their fists and gritted their teeth. Azrael walked away without saying anything, and Ixodius quickly followed. In the Observing Room, Azrael and Ixodius sat on the glass and peered down upon humanity. They watched trades between two tribes, exchanging berries and food for weapons and materials. it was fascinating. the two turned to observe in more intelligent and populated areas, where they had established a sort of Currency used for bargaining and trading: Gold, Silver, Copper, and Iron coins. "Humans are truly fascinating, aren't they Ixxy?" Azrael asked. Ixodius hurried to answer, not expecting Azrael to ask anything. "Oh, Uh..Yeah…But I think I find humans fascinating for other reasons than you, Azrael…" Ixodius said. "Huh? What do you mean by that?" Azrael asked. "Well…I originally, and still do, take interest in how humans feel and process Fear..and how easy it is to manipulate them through fear.." Ixodius said. "I see…" Azrael responded. "You know..I know what you did was horrible…and the other Angels, especially Gabriel don't appreciate that you're back here again..They REALLY don't like that I'm the one that brought you here, against everybody elses judgements. I know you've changed, and watching you in pain like that when you formed back into your angelic body…seeing your blood everywhere…even in your 'Darkness form', seeing all the blood and darkness spew from your eyes and body…It was sad…I felt so horrible for you….And when I saw you fighting The Guardian..when it could have killed you..my heart stopped..and when It showed you mercy…I took it as a sign to myself..And I brought you back up here." Azrael said. Ixodius's eyes glistened, hearing just how much Azrael really cared..Ixodius sighed. "I know i've done alot of things that have caused almost all of humanity and all of Heaven to hate me..But…Thank you..so much..For being the one that forgives me and cares, Azrael.." Ixodius said, tears starting to form in his eyes. Azrael reached over and put their hand on Ixodius's shoulder, and pulled him over. Ixodius rested his head on Azrael's shoulder.

Compassion 3:1

//Michael had started making his way to the Observing Room to check on earth and make sure balance was still maintained. As he walked through the door, he saw Ixodius and Azrael. Michael didn't know what to say or do. all he knew was that Ixodius was close to Azrael, and Azrael had their arm around Ixodius in a half hug. 'Are they…in love or something?' Michael thought to himself. Michael let out a cough to signify his appearance to Azrael and Ixodius. Ixodius quickly shot his head up off of Azrael's shoulder. "H-Hi Michael.." Ixodius said. "Oh, you remember my name!" Michael responded, rather surprised. "But uhh…What are you and Azrael doing? and doing here, Ixodius?" Michael asked. Ixodius just blankly stared at him. Azrael stood up. "We're just observing humanity flourish, Michael." Azrael said calmly. "Why was Ixodius laying on your shoulder like that? and why were you wrapping your arm around him, Azrael?" Michael asked. "Well, you know how Ixodius feels, right?…Constantly in pain and sorrow, nobody here but me sees anything but death and destruction in him…everyone hates him..I'm just comforting him, Michael." Azrael explained. "Oh…I see…And..Sorry, Ixodius.." Michael responded, and walked away. "By the way Ixxy, you didn't need to move." Azrael said. Ixodius nodded, and slowly put his head back on Azrael's shoulder. Azrael wrapped their arm back around Ixodius, and they watched some humans hunting. "Interesting, look Ixxy." Azrael had said, pointing at a human. "Look how that human is using the surroundings to his advantage. He's hidden in bushes on a higher up terrain than the animal. He's silent and careful with each movement. The human knows if it messes any tiny detail up, it wont eat." Azrael said. "Now look. He's got a clean shot with his rifle." Azrael said. "Boom." Azrael made a little firework explosion with their hands. Ixodius smiled and even laughed a little. "Wow..Never heard that before, Ixxy." Azrael said. Ixodius laughed softly, and closed his eyes. Azrael leaned their head against Ixodius's, and the two sat there. Hours passed before Gabriel walked into the Observing Room. "Azrael, Ixodius." Gabriel said loudly. The two of them slowly rose up. "Gabriel.." Azrael said disappointed and annoyed. Ixodius just glared at Gabriel. "And what is going on here, Azrael? Getting closer to this wretched creature?" Gabriel asked. "We're just observing humanity, Gabriel. And he's resting on my shoulder because he's sick and damn tired of you and everyone else treating him so horribly." Azrael said. "We're treating him this way becau-" Gabriel started to speak but was interupted by Azrael. "Because of what he did, we know. But if God allowed me to bring him here, There's a damn reason Gabriel. So leave him alone." Azrael snapped at him. Gabriel processed these words before turning and walking away. Ixodius tapped Azrael's shoulder. "Thank you, for standing up to Gabriel and everyone else for me, Azrael.." Ixodius said, laying his head back on Azrael's shoulder. "It's no problem, Ixxy." Azrael responded. "Hey, Ixxy. We should probably leave the Observing Room if we're done, yknow, Observing." Azrael said. "Oh.. Yeah.." Ixodius responded. Azrael and Ixodius got up and walked back to Azrael's chambers. On their way, they passed Josephiel, the Angel of Love. "Well hello, Azrael!" Josephiel said. "Oh! Josephiel! Lovely seeing you here. What's up?" Azrael asked. Josephiel beckoned Azrael with her finger to come closer. Azrael did. "What's up?" Azrael asked. "I sense a huge ammount of love and compassion in Ixodius." Josephiel said with a grin. "What do you mean, Josephiel?" Azrael asked. "Do you not understand, Azrael?" Josephiel asked. "Uhh..No?" Azrael responded, confused. Josephiel sighed. "Ixodius loves you, Azrael." she said. Azrael was flustered. "What..? He..Does?" Azrael asked. "Yes, and quite a lot of it..I've been watching you two, and I got to say, I have no clue how you haven't noticed this..He stays around you constantly and takes comfort in your presence. It's quite obvious that he loves you, and I can sense it." Josephiel explained. Azrael was shocked, and flustered. They sat there and pondered. "And i know you feel the same, Azrael." Josephiel said. "Tell him." Josephiel said. Azrael nodded, and walked back to Ixodius. "Let's go, Ixxy." Azrael said. The two of them walked to Azrael's chambers. While walking, Azrael moved closer to Ixodius. Azrael nervously reached their hand over and took Ixodius's in theirs. Ixodius was flustered, and Azrael was the same. "A-Azrael?" Ixodius nervously asked. Azrael kept walking, Ixodius following. When they arrived at Azrael's chamber, Azrael opened the door and reached their hand out again. Ixodius took it and they went in. The two let go of each other's hands as they went to sit in their beds. Azrael and Ixodius sat in silence for a while. "Hey..Ixxy.." Azrael said. "Y..Yeah?" Ixodius responded, still flustered. "There's…something I really have to tell you.." Azrael said. Ixodius's ears perked up, and his heart raced. "W-What is it?" Ixodius asked. Azrael took a deep breath. "I love you, Ixodius.." Azrael spoke. Ixodius's heart raced, and his face turned crimson red. "I'm sorry Ixxy..That was sudden and-" Azalae started but Ixodius interrupted. "It's…Ok..I..I've been meaning to say this for days now but..I love you too, Azrael.." Ixodius said, flustered. Azrael crawled over to Ixodius and put their hand on his cheek. Azrael gently and slowly pulled Ixodius's face closer. "Uhh..Hey, Azrael? What are you doing?.." Ixodius nervously asked. "Something I've wanted to do for a bit now.." Azrael said, grinning smugly and letting out a deep exhale. Azrael moved up, and kissed Ixodius.

Compassion 4:1

Ixodius's face turned extremely flustered. His eyes were wide in surprise. It felt amazing..Ixodius closed his eyes as Azrael kept their lips on his. Azrael eventually removed themselves from Ixodius. Azrael's face was covered in blush, and they breathed heavily. Ixodius's face was bright red, their heart beating extremely fast, same as their breathing. Ixodius couldn't believe this. Azrael couldn't believe they just did that. "I-I'm so sorry..That was..So sudden..and I didn't even ask.." Azrael said. Ixodius moved over and kissed Azrael. "Now It's okay, Azrael.." Ixodius said. Azrael smiled, and so did Ixodius.

Love 1:1

The next day, after Azrael had expressed their love to Ixodius, they both walked out of Azrael's chamber. Ixodius reached his hand over to Azrael, smiling. Azrael smiled back, and took his hand in theirs. Gabriel watched this, and nearly shouted. He was enraged, pissed off. Ixodius and Azrael walked over to the Observing Room, their new favorite spot to hang out in, when they weren't in Azrael's chambers. The two watched the sun rise over the horizon. "It's beautiful, isn't it Ixxy?" Azrael asked. "It is, Az." Ixodius replied. "Hm! So now you have a nickname for me too?" Azrael asked. Ixodius grinned and nodded. Ixodius rested their head against Azrael's shoulder. Azrael rested their head against Ixodius's. "Hey..Az?.." Ixodius said. "What is it, Ixxy?" Azrael replied. "This is going to be a weird question but..What gender are you?…You're voice sounds like a feminine male…and your body resembles that of a female…but you think and act masculine.." Ixodius said. Azrael smiled. "Well, Ixxy, It's quite complicated. I am, or, was, a male, But I used my Angelic Powers a long while ago, few days after my original creation, to alter my form to appear much more feminine. As for my voice, it's always been this soft." Azrael responded. Ixodius took this information in. "Uh…Az.." Ixodius asked. "Yeah, Ixxy?" Azrael replied. "Does that mean you don't ha-" Ixodius was interrupted by Gabriel's heavy footsteps approaching. "Azrael." Gabriel said. "…Ixodius…" Gabriel said with an aggressive tone. "What is it now, Gabriel?" Azrael asked, annoyed. "What have you two been up to, Azrael? I saw you two holding hands when you were walking out of your chambers." Gabriel stated. "You just described what we were doing, didn't you?" Azrael replied with a smug smirk. Gabriel tightened his fists. "You're really starting to push your limits and authority, Azrael. Sooner or later, Angels and God are going to grow suspicious, and seperate you two." Gabriel said. Azrael just rolled her eyes and rested her head back on Ixodius's. Gabriel just snarled and walked away.

Gabriel approached Gods chamber and entered. "Ah, Gabriel. What brings you here, my child?" God asked. "It's about Azrael and Ixodius, Holy Father. Ixodius needs to have his own Chamber, He can't keep staying in Azrael's. I hardly believe Azrael can sleep with him in there." Gabriel stated. "Well, They seem to be getting along fine, and they both seem to enjoy each other's company, Gabriel." God said. "I hardly see why they need be seperated." God said. "What you think is best, Holy Father." Gabriel replied as he turned and walked away. Josephiel walked into the Observing Room and saw Ixodius and Azrael resting against each other. "I told you this would work out, Azrael." Josephiel said. "Well, I thank you, Josephiel." Azrael said. Josephiel walked away.

Love 1:2

Ixodius and Azrael watched even more human trades, and got to see them using their currencies. "Look over there, Ixxy." Azrael said, pointing to a human giving a golden coin to another human in exchange for Food and goods. "Humans certainly are fascinating creatures, I must admit." Ixodius said, smiling. The two sat and relaxed against each other for a while. Ixodius and Azrael held eachothers hands as they enjoyed the breeze in the Observing Room. Michael walked in to the Observing Room. "Azrael, Ixodius, How are you today?" Michael asked. "We're doing quite fine, Michael." Ixodius replied. "Oh! Pleasant to be hearing you speak now, Ixodius!" Michael responded. Then, without care of someone watching, Azrael placed her hand on Ixodius's face and brought him closer to kiss him. "Azrael..Michael's right there!" Ixodius replied, flustered. Azrael shrugged, and put Her lips on Ixodius's. Michael just stared in shock. "You two are…Together like that now?" Michael asked, confused, and somewhat worried. Azrael removed Her mouth from Ixodius's. "Mhm…Thanks to Josephiel." Azrael responded. "Well…I'm happy for you two…Especially you, Ixodius. You finally found something that you love that isn't chaos." Michael commented as he walked away. Azrael went right back to kissing Ixodius.

"Gabriel…Did you hear the recent news about Ixodius?" Raphael asked. "No, Raphael. What is it now? did he finally snap and get banished once more?" Gabriel asked, holding a wine glass in his hands. "Uh..No..Quite the opposite.." Raphael responded. "..What do you mean, Raphael?.." Gabriel asked, a deep scary tone in his voice. "Uhm…Well sir…Michael saw Azrael and Ixodius kissing in the Observing Room…" Raphael explained. Gabriel's fist snapped closed, shattering the wine glass in his hands. "They, what now?" Gabriel asked. "They..Were seen kis-" Raphael re-explained, but was cut off by Gabriel. "I HEARD.." Gabriel shouted. "Sir, Calm down." Raphael said. "Not this time." Gabriel responded, pushing Raphael to the side. Gabriel grabbed his armor and helmet from his chambers, and grabbed his blades from the Armory. Gabriel holstered the blades to their holders on his hips, and blasted to the sky. Scouting the ground below, Gabriel spotted Azrael and Ixodius walking out of the Observing Room. Gabriel crashed to the ground in front of them. Azrael let out an irritated sigh. "What is it now, Gabriel?" Azrael asked, visibly annoyed. "And why are you wearing your battle gear, and have your blades.." Azrael asked, with an Authoritative tone. "Because that THING, IXODIUS. Is playing us now. Trying to be with an Angel like you to manipulate heaven? A Plot i knew would happen. How predictable." Gabriel said, as he unsheathed both his blades in each hand. Michael had turned the corner and witnessed this. "GABRIEL! WHAT THE HEAVENS ARE YOU DOING?!" Michael shouted. "Go back to where you came, Michael. That's an order." Gabriel snapped. Michael obeyed and slowly retreated around the corner. Gabriel arched back and blasted towards Ixodius. Ixodius was horrified, closing his eyes and bracing himself to be struck down. Azrael intervened, taking a large slash to her shoulder. Gabriel froze. Azrael stared at Gabriel with aggression and pain in her eyes. "A-Azrael…Why would you..Why would you intervene?" Gabriel asked. Azrael didn't respond. She just stared at Gabriel. Her fists tightening. Angelic blood poured from Azrael's shoulder onto the ground. God had came around to check on the Angels and make sure everything was fine. And he witnessed Azrael's deep wound, and the large ammounts of blood pouring from it. God rushed over to Azrael. "Ixodius! What happened?" God asked "I-" Ixodius started but was swiftly interupted by Gabriel. "Ixodius lashed out in a blind rage, Holy Father. I told you he was dangerous." Gabriel said. God stared at Ixodius. "Is this true, Ixodius?.." God asked. "N-No! I would never do anything to harm Az.." Ixodius responded. "How can we trust you, 'Feared One'?" Gabriel asked. "I-…" Ixodius started, but couldn't find any words. Azrael started to fall over. Ixodius quickly ran over, but was stopped by Gabriels blade pointed straight at him. "Don't get any closer, Hellspawn." Gabriel threatened. Ixodius looked at God, who did not stop Gabriel. Azrael collapsed to the ground. "D-DO SOMETHING!" Ixodius shouted. Gabriel approached Azrael. "God..What sha'll we do? Azrael allowed Ixodius to manipulate and get close to them.." Gabriel said. God wondered. "Banishment…But seeing as Azrael might die from their wounds..We hide them.." God said. Ixodius's eyes turned to horror.

Darkened Rage 1:1

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN MANIPULATED?!" Ixodius shouted at Gabriel. "WE LOVED EACH OTHER! THERE WAS NO CORRUPTION IN THAT!" Ixodius shouted, Tears running from his eyes. "How are we to believe you, Ixodius?" God asked. Ixodius shook. "HELP HER!" Ixodius cried. His eyes darkening. God and Gabriel just stood there. "WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN GOD?! WHY WON'T YOU HELP AZRAEL?!" Ixodius shouted. "You must learn to deal with your consequences." God said. "CAN YOU NOT SEE THE BLOOD ON GABRIELS BLADE?!" Ixodius shouted. But there was none. Gabriel had removed it. "LOOK AT ME, GOD! I HAVE NO CLAWS OR WEAPON TO DEAL HARM TO HER!" Ixodius shouted. "We know of your form shifting, Ixodius. We are no fool." God said. Josephiel ran over "God? Gabriel? Why is Ixodius so upse-" She saw Azrael on the ground, in a pool of blood. "Oh my!- GOD! DO SOMETHING!" Josephiel shouted. "Josephiel, leave. This manner is not of your worry." Gabriel said. "BUT IT IS GABRIEL! MICHAEL TOLD ME WHAT HAPPENED!" Josephiel shouted. "LEAVE." God shouted. "N-NO!" Josephiel yelled. "GABRIEL IS LYING! HE'S ALWAYS HATED IXODIUS, AND NOW YOU'RE LETTING HIM TELL YOU LIES?!" Josephiel shouted. "GABRIEL IS THE ONE THAT STRUCK AZRAEL! SHE WAS DEFENDING IXODIUS FROM GABRIEL! MICHAEL TOLD ME!" Josephiel shouted. "So for the sake of everything holy…HELP HER!" Josephiel shouted at God.

God leaned down and placed his hand on Azrael's shoulder. The bleeding stopped. Gabriel stared at God and Josephiel, and at Ixodius, who was crying and shaking, his eyes dark and his pupils thin. "Gabriel..Did you try and kill Ixodius?.." God asked. "N-No si-" "DON'T LIE, GABRIEL." God shouted. "…Yes sir..I was in concern for my safety and all of Heaven's safety. He is unstable and out of control." Gabriel replied calmly. God stared at him. "And look what your actions have caused..and your lies.. You've almost caused the death of Azrael." God said. "I shall take full responsibility and judgement for my actions, Holy Father.." Gabriel said, getting down on his knees. "You're actions are justified, Gabriel." God said. "W-What..?!" Ixodius barked. "He just tried to kill me..And nearly killed Azrael..WHAT DO YOU MEAN JUSTIFIED?!" Ixodius shouted. "SILENCE, IXODIUS." God shouted. "You are prohibited from seeing Azrael in the near future. If your going to bring pain and chaos to them, the-" "N-no…." Azrael said weakly, interupting God. "What?" God said. "Azrael?" Ixodius said. "I want…Ixxy…with me.." Azrael replied weakly. Ixodius slowly approached Azrael, lifting her into his arms from off the ground. "This is your fault." Ixodius said to Gabriel. Ixodius was suddenly surrounded in a dark mist that quickly disappeared, along with Ixodius and Azrael. "Where-WHAT?!" Gabriel exclaimed. Ixodius carried Azrael in his arms to the camp of his Followers that healed him before. "Oh great lord, Ixodius! What is the purpose for your arri-" The Followers saw Azrael, wounded in his arms. "Oh Dear..Oh no.." They said. "Bring them in here, quickly!" The Followers said. Ixodius hastily followed them to their tent. "Put Azrael down right here." The leader said. Ixodius followed instructions, setting Azrael down. 7 followers channeled their magic on a healing spell on Azrael. Over minutes, The wound closed and looked as if nothing had happened. Azrael slowly opened her eyes. "Ixxy..?" She said weakly. Ixodius ran over and grabbed Azrael into his arms. "It's me…You're ok.." Ixodius said. Tears dropped from his eyes onto Azrael. "I cannot thank you enough, my loyal followers.." Ixodius said. "No need to thank us, our lord." The leader said. Ixodius was surrounded in a dark mist, then vanished. Gabriel watched as a black mist appeared behind him, And Ixodius while carrying Azrael emerged from it. The mist disappeared. "What the-" Gabriel said. "Where did you come from? And what in the name of the heavenly order was that magic?" Gabriel asked. Ixodius simply ignored Gabriel and carried Azrael over to their chamber. Ixodius layed Azrael down in his own bed, then crawled into it with her. Ixodius wrapped his arms around Azrael. Ixodius cried, worried. He hoped by the grace of all that is holy that Azrael would be alright..

"Where am i…?" Azrael asked…Nobody responded. They lay in a dark space. No light, they can see themselves clearly, But everything else is just darkness. Azrael got up off the ground and wandered around. They seemed to walk on an invisible floor of darkness. After wandering for hours, nothing. still darkness. Azrael was cold, and had a deep sense of loneliness. "H-Hello? A-Anyone?" Azrael called out. "My body hurts…." Azrael said. She looked at her shoulder where Gabriel had struck her. "Still there….But now its just a scar…It healed already??…" Azrael asked. Azrael shivered in the cold of this dark place. "What is this place?" Azrael questioned. She placed her right hand on the left. "It isn't a dream…I can feel evverything…" Azrael said. "Ixxy?.." Azrael called out. Nothing. tears started dripping down Azrael's eyes. Azrael hated being alone..And the dark. Azrael always shined their light in the Dark. They can't sleep in the dark, and it frightens them. The only darkness Azrael is comfortable and safe with, is Ixodius. Azrael missed them already. "Hello??" Azrael called out once more.

Ixodius stayed by Azrael in their chamber, not sleeping. No matter how tired he felt, Ixodius wouldn't fall asleep. He had used his dark magic to create a barrier on their chambers, so nothing could enter. Ixodius feared Gabriel and what he would do to either of them. When Azrael started shifting and moving, and making noises, Ixodius was alert. Azrael's face was streaming with tears, and Azrael was saying something, but it was mumbled. Ixodius listened carefully. "Azrael?…" Ixodius asked, worried. Ixodius couldn't make out the words that Azrael was mumbling. Ixodius put his hand on Azrael's head, as she once did for him. Ixodius layed his head against Azrael's and cried.

Azrael felt something wet and cold dripping onto her head. She felt a hand on her head, it was familiar..Azrael saw a bright light, and a corridor. Azrael approached the light, it was warm, welcoming. All her pains faded the closer she got. A voice beckoned her to come to the light, to cleanse her pain and relieve her suffering.

Ixodius felt Azrael's heart beat slow down greatly, her breathing slowing. She was dying, but she was healed..What's wrong? "No..Azrael..Wake up, PLEASE!" Ixodius said, panicked and worried. Ixodius pulled on Azrael gently, shaking them to try and wake them up. "I-I see…Light…" Azrael mumbled. "Don't go to It..please..don't go.." Ixodius cried

Azrael felt something pulling her, shaking her. A voice begged her to not go into the light. Azrael backed away from the light, and felt a sense of relief in her soul. She sifted through the darkness, away from The Light. Azrael wandered for what seemed like years..Until she took a step forward, and started falling. Azrael screamed as she fell, And opened her eyes.

Compassion 3:1

Azrael shot up from her bed, in a cold sweat. Ixodius's eyes lit up with a glow. "I-Ixxy?" Azrael asked. Ixodius lunged towards her and wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly. "I'm so sorry…If it weren't for me being there you wouldn't have been hurt..almost killed.." Ixodius said. "Ixxy…If you weren't here…I would still be..sad" Azrael spoke. She weakly put her arms around Ixodius, who was pouring tears from his eyes onto her shoulder. Azrael accepted Ixodius's warm, soft embrace. After being in that cold place, his warm fur was comforting. And soft. Ixodius lifted his face from Azrael's shoulder, and kissed her. Azrael smiled.

Descension 1:1

Gabriel sat in his chambers. Raphael sat next to him on his bench. "Sir.." Raphael said "What, Raphael." Gabriel asked. "It isn't your fault. How could you have known Azrael would have got in the way to defend?" Raphael asked. "I Should have predicted it, Raphael. I knew they were in love from Michael, and I should have known that with those feelings between each other, they would defend one another." Gabriel responded. Raphael pondered, and took note of Gabriel's thinking. Raphael noticed that Gabriel was down, disappointed in himself. Raphael took a deep breath, and hugged Gabriel. "Raphael." Gabriel said. "Uh- Sorry, Sir." Raphael said, removing herself. Gabriel thought to himself. 'Why would they not punish me for my actions?' 'Why do they let that THING stay here?'. None of these questions were anwsered, no matter how many times he tried to get them. Gabriel stared at his blade he left on the ground of his chambers. It was covered in Azrael's blood, the illusion magic he had used wore off. Gabriel couldn't stop looking at it. "Raphael, I wish to be alone." Gabriel said, dismissing Raphael. Raphael swiftly exited Gabriel's chambers. Gabriel took his armor from his storage, and placed it back on himself. He took his blades and placed them in his holsters once more. When night came, Gabriel quitely exited his chambers, and approached Ixodius and Azrael's chambers. Azrael and Ixodius lay in a bed, cuddled together. Gabriel quitely entered Azrael's chambers. Gabriel reached down, and unsheathed the blade he struck Azrael with. Ixodius awoke, and saw Gabriel raising the blade above his head. "HEY!" Ixodius shouted, lunging at Gabriel. Azrael awoke. "Ixxy?..what's-Oh my heavens-" Azrael said. Ixodius had Gabriel pinned against a wall by his throat, Gabriel's blade dropping to the ground, making a loud clatter. Ixodius's claws had started growing from his hands once more, like his Darkness form. They dug into the back of Gabriel's armor, puncturing the Angelic Steel. Ixodius's eyes turned dark, his pupils a bloody red. Michael came over, alerted by the sound of Shouting and a blade falling. "Ixodius! What on earth are you doing! Release Gabriel!" Michael shouted. "He tried to kill Azrael again." Ixodius snarled. "What??" Michael asked. "Gabriel? Is this true?" Michael asked. Gabriel couldn't respond, having Ixodius's hand grasped tightly around his throat. Ixodius released him, dropping Gabriel to the floor. He coughed, and stared up at Ixodius. "No..I came in here to see how they were doing, and he just lunged at me, LIKE THIS!" Gabriel said, grabbing his blade and leaping at Ixodius. Gabriel's blade missed, grazing Ixodius's shoulder. Ixodius grabbed Gabriel's blade, and shattered it between his hands. Gabriel came in with his fists, and struck Ixodius in the chest. Gabriel had attempted to strike Ixodius again, but Ixodius grabbed his hand, and began tightening his grip on it. Gabriel could feel it breaking. He threw another punch straight at Ixodius's face. Ixodius grabbed it with his other hand, digging his claws deep into Gabriel, piercing his armor. Gabriel's armor at the hands and arms had began cracking, and one part shattered completely. God had been alerted by Michael of the conflict. As God arrived, Ixodius had thrown Gabriel to the ground. The arm and hand regions of his armor were shattered, the neck had claw marks and hole punctures in it, and Ixodius had blood dripping from his shoulder. Ixodius panted, exhausted. Gabriel laid there on the floor, feeling his bleeding hand. He had never seen his own blood before. "My heavens, Ixodius! Gabriel! what happened?" God asked. "Gabriel came in here, blade out, trying to kill Azrael in her sleep." Ixodius said. "My heavens, Gabriel. Is this true?" God asked. "Yes..It is." Azrael said. Michael entered. "And holy father, if I may..Gabriel did lunge at Ixodius and attempt to kill him as well." Michael added. God stared down at Gabriel. "Gabriel." God said in a commanding voice. Gabriel looked up at God. "This is the last strike of you, Gabriel. I hereby cast you down to the depths of Hell as your banishment." Gabriel screamed as he was absorbed in a crimson red beam, casted down to Hell.

Lucifer watched as a light from The Heavens shined through, and a dark beam blasted down. He knew what this was, a Descension of an Angel. He warped to where the being had fallen to see who it was. "Gabriel??" Lucifer asked. "What in the heavens did you do to deserve This?" Lucifer asked. "I was overcome by rage and fear…" Gabriel responded. "From Ixodius?" Lucifer asked. "No…he's back in Heaven, and he's in love with Azrael." Gabriel said. Lucifer's eyes lit up with curiosity. "They let him back in?" Lucifer asked. "Against everyone's judgement, and behind our backs, Azrael brought him up..But God did not intervene or stop them." Gabriel explained. Lucifer's eyes were full of curiosity and understanding. "So he was redeemed?" Lucifer asked. "I suppose so." Gabriel replied. Gabriel stood up and looked around, and at his body. His halo was gone, his wings were demonic in formation. His armor was still cracked and broken. He tried to remove his helmet, but it was stuck on. "Yeah, anything you were wearing is stuck on if you fall." Lucifer told Gabriel. Gabriel sighed and sat down. Lucifer walked over and sat besides him, putting his arm around Gabriel's shoulder. "Sad to see another fallen..Their judgement system is wrong.." Lucifer said. "This was my fault." Gabriel responded. "What do you mean, Gabriel?" Lucifer asked. "I tried to kill Azrael and Ixodius." Gabriel said. Lucifer looked at him with deep concern and worry. "Why?" Lucifer asked. "Because of fear..I thought Ixodius was trying to manipulate Azrael and set up a false sense of security to tear us down..But he really has changed." Gabriel explained. Lucifer nodded. "It's not too bad down here, you know? And now you have me..I'll be here for you as a friend." Lucifer said, smiling. Gabriel smiled too, but his helmet hid it.

Redemption 1:1

Only hours after Gabriel was casted to Hell, Ixodius still didn't rest. "Ixxy..Nothing's going to happen, just lay back down and rest." Azrael said. "No, Azrael. I'm not going to let anything, or anyone, hurt you again." Ixodius said, his darkness form claws still there, his eyes still darkened with a deathly red glow. He stayed alert and up, not even daring to close his eyes. Azrael sat up, grabbed Ixodius's face gently, and pulled him down on the bed. "Azrael..I have to prote-" Ixodius started, but was cut off by Azrael putting a finger to his mouth. "Shh." Azrael said. Azrael put her hand gently on the side of Ixodius's face, moving over and kissing him. "It's going to be alright, Ixxy. Gabriel won't hurt either of us, and nobody else wants to." Azrael said. Ixodius's darkness form claws dispersed, and his eyes rid of darkness. Ixodius cradled up to Azrael, and the two fell asleep.

In the morning, Syrethen came in to Azrael and Ixodius's chambers. "Wake up, you two." he said sternly. "Ah..Syrethen..What is it?" Azrael asked. "God requests both of you to the courtroom, now." Syrethen said. "Alright." Azrael replied. Syrethen walked away. Azrael shook Ixodius gently. "Ixxy, wake up." Ixodius blinked awake slowly. "We're required in the courtroom, Ixxy." Azrael said. Ixodius got up and took Azrael's hand in his. "Huh?" Azrael asked. The two of them were covered suddenly in a dark mist, and vanished. In the courtroom, a black mist appeared in one of the booths, and Azrael and Ixodius both appeared from it, holding hands. The dark mist dispersed as soon as they appeared. "Ixodius, Azrael." God said, acknowledging their presence. "I'm sorry to bring all of you Angels to the courtroom on such short notice, But with Gabriel's descension, we are in need of a new leader of Heavens Forces." God explained. "Sir." Azrael spoke. "Yes, Azrael?" God replied. "Isn't the choice obvious?" Azrael asked. God raised his eyebrow in question. Azrael pointed at Raphael. "The second in command of Gabriel, the second in command of Heavens Forces, Raphael." Azrael said. God looked at Azrael, then Raphael. "Do you all think this is reasonable? That Raphael can handle the stress and have the strength to train and lead?" God asked everyone. They all agreed. "Then it Is decided. Raphael, you are now the head of Heavens Forces." "Everybody is dismissed." God said.

Ixodius and Azrael were about to leave, when God stopped them. "Ixodius, Azrael." God said. The two looked up to face God. "Yes, Heavenly father?" Azrael asked. "This is between just the three of us, but. What are the two of you together?" God asked. Ixodius looked up at God, and spoke. "We are lovers, Heavenly Father." Ixodius said. "I see. So It is true." God responded. Azrael nodded. "And on another thing, Ixodius." God said. "Yes, Holy Father?" Ixodius asked. "Your powers and magic..It is of darkness, and yet you were redeemed here in Heaven. How have you retained them?" God asked. Ixodius thought. He really didn't know. He could use Angelic Powers and magic, as well as his Darkness abilities. "I'm unsure, Heavenly Father." Ixodius answered. "Very well, Ixodius. you two are dismissed." God said. Ixodius and Azrael were engulfed once more in a black mist, and disappeared. God pondered. "How is it possible that a being of darkness being redeemed still retains their dark abilities?" God asked himself. "They should be gone, purified.." God stated. "Sir..If I may?" A voice asked from behind God's podium. "Go ahead." God replied. "Did you consider that Ixodius has not been redeemed or purified?" The voice asked. "He still retains his dark fur from his darkness form, and has been seen using his Dark form partly, like his claws and eyes changing. His feet are still paws. And most obvious, Ixodius can still use his Darkness abilities." The voice stated. God took this knowledge in slowly. "You may be right." God said. "I don't think Ixodius is purified or redeemed..So he might be a threat." God said. "But for now, I shall allow him to stay here in the Heavens. He has greatly given Azrael purpose and comfort, and other than getting into a defensive fight with Gabriel, he hasn't lashed out or harmed anybody." God said. "Very well, Heavenly Father." The voice said.

Curiosity 2:1

Azrael and Ixodius appeared in the Observing Room, a black mist blasting out from behind Ixodius. Michael was already there. "Oh, Hello Azrael and Ixodius." Michael said, smiling. "Do you wish to join me in my Observations?" Michael asked. "Why not?" Azrael replied. Ixodius and Azrael followed Michael over to where he was watching. Michael pointed at some humans below. "See them right there? They're bargaining. One is trying to get a lower price for goods, the other is trying to either benefit, over-price, or settle on a price for a deal." Michael said. Ixodius and Azrael nodded. After watching the two humans bargaining for a while, they seemed to be done. "Look, seems as if they settled on a deal." Michael said. "Mhm." Azrael replied. "Fascinating creatures humans are." Ixodius added. "What about them in particular catches your interest, Ixodius?" Michael asked, curiously. "Well..Fear of all things. They naturally feel fear but can also develop it..They can learn to be afraid of things, and also get rid of fear. It's an essential part of human life, and is easily manipulatable." Ixodius explained. Michael thought, and had a shocked face. "Well, that's interesting, Ixodius. But it's actually true, and really smart." Michael replied. Ixodius smiled happily "Well thank you, Michael." Ixodius said. "Of course, Ixodius." Michael replied. The three watched humans trading back and forth. "You know…Me and Ixodius can show you some humans you never see from here. They may not be too sure about you, but me and Ixodius are known and welcome by them. Azrael said. "Please do, I'm always curious and wanting to learn about humans as much as possible." Michael replied. Azrael looked over at Ixodius for confirmation. "I'm not sure if they would be too welcome, but so long as I'm there then they won't do anything." Ixodius replied. Ixodius reached both his hands out, one to Azrael, and one to Michael. "Hold on, I'm going to warp to them." Ixodius said. "This might feel weird for you, Michael. Azrael is used to it by now, but being shrouded in darkness might feel weird for you." Ixodius said. Michael nodded. The 3 were surrounded in a dark black mist, and vanished. The Followers of Ixodius watched as that familiar black mist of their Lord appeared outside. "Ah, Ixodius! Azrael! And-…Michael.." The leader said. "You know me?" Michael asked. "Of course we do, we know every Angel thanks to our Lord Ixodius." The leader responded. Michael nodded. "Michael is just here to observe and understand you people, Watching the regular humans has gotten boring." Ixodius told the leader. "Understood, my Lord." The leader responded. Hours later, Michael had approached Ixodius and told him that he was done observing for the day. "Understood, Michael. Azrael, let's leave." Ixodius said. Azrael came over and grasped Ixodius's hand. Michael held on, and they vanished into a black mist.

The 3 reappeared in the Observing Room from a black mist that quickly dispersed as they arrived. "You're right, Ixodius, that feels very odd.." Michael said. "Sorry Michael." Ixodius replied. Michael simply shrugged it off, and walked back over to a bench in the Observing Room, and sat down. "You two can go do your own thing if you want, I'm going back to observing the humans I can see well enough." Michael said. "Alright, Michael. Take care, and let us or God know if anything interesting or chaotic happens." Azrael replied.

Chaos 1:1

On earth, humans were flourishing and working well. Wars hadn't happened in ages, and they all settled their differences. But chaos soon would rise. The ground started shaking. A long, pale clawed hand tore through the surface of the earth, followed by another. A large eye had torn through the surface, and ZEVAGOTH had torn its way out of its prison, buried deep in the earth. Panic ensued admits humans, Trying to fight it off with weaponry and cannons, and running. The beast was resiliant, Not even stopping or showing signs of pain despite how heavily it was hit. It killed anything that came into its sights, and at some point blasted a beam out of its chest cavity, decimating an entire small civilization. Michael saw this during his routine observations from the Observation Room. "Oh my…OH NO-" Michael said, worried. Michael ran as fast as he could to God's chambers, and bursted through the gate. "Michael? What has you so panicked my child?" God asked. "Zevagoth has re-surfaced, Holy Father." Michael explained quickly, out of breath. "Oh my..ARGOS!" God shouted. "ꐔꑀꈜ, ꁝꊿ꒒ꐔ ꊯꁲꋖꁝꑀꌅ?"⁹ Argos asked. "Zevagoth has resurfaced on earth and is causing mass destruction. We need some way to stop it." God explained. ARGOS took these words in, and looked upon God. "ꋖꁝꑀꌅꑀ ꒐ꈜ ꃔꊿꋖꁝ꒐ꃔꁅ ꒐ ꏳꁲꃔ ꀷꊿ ꁲꁅꁲ꒐ꃔꈜꋖ ꂵꐔ ꊿꅐꃔ ꏳꌅꑀꁲꋖ꒐ꊿꃔ. ꋖꁝ꒐ꈜ ꊿꃔꑀ ꒐ꈜ ꏳꁝꁲꊿꋖ꒐ꏳ, ꊿꌈꋖ ꊿꊯ ꂵꐔ ꏳꊿꃔꋖꌅꊿ꒒."¹⁰ ARGOS explained. God sighed, and thought of options. "Very well, ARGOS. You are dismissed." God said. ARGOS Left, and wandered off to a dark area behind Gods chambers. "Michael." God said. "Yes, Heavenly Father?" Michael asked. "Bring Ixodius here to me." God replied. "Of course, Heavenly Father." Michael responded, quickly rushing out of Gods chambers, and to Azrael and Ixodius's chamber. Michael came into Azrael and Ixodius's chambers in a sweat. "Ixodius, the Heavenly Father is requesting your presence immediately." Michael explained. "Just me?..Or can i bring Azrael?" Ixodius asked. "I'm not sure..You can bring them just in case." Michael responded. Ixodius approached Azrael and took her hand in his, then vanished into black mist.

God watched as in front of his throne, a black mist appeared, and so did Ixodius, and Azrael. "Azrael..You are not needed here, only Ixodius." God said. "Very well, Holy Father." Azrael said, beaming herself to her chambers. "What is it that you request of me, Heavenly Father?" Ixodius asked. "Zevagoth has resurfaced on earth..It has been shown countless times before to be too dangerous for Heavens Forces to deal with, and so I'm asking you to combat it, and please subdue it or remove of it." God explained. Ixodius thought. "Very well..Please tell Azrael this reason for my disappearance." Ixodius asked. "Very well, Ixodius. And thank you." God said. Ixodius shrouded himself in a dark mist, and vanished. Michael was keeping an eye on the situation with Zevagoth, and watched as a black mist appeared behind it. "Ixodius?" Michael asked himself.

ORDER 1:1

Ixodius emerged from the black mist, immediately catching Zevagoth's attention. In an instant, it slashed its arm at Ixodius, sending him flying, crashing into a rock hard. Michael focused to see closely, as did more Angels gathering around. Ixodius's eyes blackened, and a red glare gleamed from his eye. His body started darkening, his face forming, claws appearing. A loud roar came from Ixodius, as his body had changed back into his Darkness Form. He had grown, and was now almost as tall as Zevagoth. Tiny amounts of blood dripped from Ixodius's mouth, as his head formed into a Skull once more. ZEVAGOTH quickly ran towards Ixodius, slashing its claws at Ixodius. It tore into his shoulder, and Ixodius roared in pain. Ixodius grabbed the creatures arm with his claws, and slammed it into the ground. Zevagoth relentlessly and quickly got back up, striking Ixodius again, this time on his skull. It cracked and slightly tore into Ixodius's skull. Ixodius's eyes began pulsing, as he forced his claws directly through the chest of Zevagoth. Mounds of Angelic blood poured from the wound, and Ixodius pushed it to the ground. Ixodius's jaw unhinged, and a beam of crimson blood and sinew blasted from it. The beam tore into the ground, and pushed Zevagoth deep into the earth, while tearing it apart and incinerating parts of it. Ixodius used dark magic to push the earth back together, re-sealing Zevagoth in the ground. "₩ⱤɆ₮₵ⱧɆĐ ₵ⱤɆ₳₮ɄⱤɆ, ₴₮₳Ɏ ł₦ ɎØɄⱤ ₮Ø₥฿ ₩ⱧɆⱤɆ ɎØɄ ฿ɆⱠØ₦₲." Ixodius spoke. "Well..He took care of Zevagoth alright, but now how do we get HIM to return?" Michael asked. Once Ixodius was enraged and in battle, there was seemingly nothing that could calm him down or revert, without causing him severe damage. Azrael approached the Observing Room, and saw Ixodius down on earth, in his Darkness Form. "What happened to Ixxy? Why is he dark again?" Azrael asked. Michael explained the situation. Azrael nodded. Michael and other Angels watched as Azrael beamed themselves down to earth. "Azrael is going to try and calm him down..I hope this goes well." Michael said. Ixodius watched as an Angelic beam blasted the earth, and an Angel emerged. "₩Ⱨ₳₮ ĐØ ɎØɄ ₩₳₦₮ ₣ⱤØ₥ ₥Ɇ, ⱧØⱠɎ ฿Ɇł₦₲? ₮Ø ₭łⱠⱠ ₥Ɇ ₳₲₳ł₦?" Ixodius asked. "Ixxy. You took care of the threat, you did your job, it's time to calm down." Azrael said softly. Ixodius's eyes gleamed, and the darkness faded. Ixodius was covered in a bright white light, and as it dispersed, he sat there on the ground in his Angelic form. The wounds from Zevagoth visible on his body, his shoulder torn deep into, bleeding. "Are you alright Ixxy?" Azrael asked. "I'm fine…just really hurts.." Ixodius replied. Azrael approached and picked Ixodius up in her arms. "Xe'Thenet'Rethium" Azrael said, as the two of them were beamed into Heaven. "My heavens! is Ixodius alright?" Michael asked. "I believe so..they're just very hurt..I will nurse them in our chambers." Azrael said, walking away. God was just relieved that Ixodius calmed down after becoming dark once more, but was now very curios on how Ixodius can shift forms between angelic and Dark. in Azrael and Ixodius's chambers, Azrael laid Ixodius down on his bed gently, petting his head softly. Azrael climbed into her own bed and laid there, staring at Ixodius. Ixodius blinked awake slowly. "Az?" he asked. Azrael sat up. "Hey, Ixxy." Azrael responded, smiling at Ixodius. Ixodius put his hand over his shoulder and winced. "It hurts.." Ixodius stated. Azrael climbed over to Ixodius and wrapped her arms around him. Ixodius pulled Azrael onto his bed and wrapped his arms around her. The two of them laid cuddled together and fell alseep.

Love 1:3

Azrael woke up slowly, adjusting to the brightness of the light shining through the window in their chambers. Ixodius still layed cuddled to them, softly sleeping. "Wake up, Ixxy." Azrael said. Ixodius slowly blinked awake, then shut his eyes again and nuzzled his head into Azrael's chest. "Come on Ixxy, we can relax later, I know." Azrael said, laughing softly to herself. Ixodius blinked back awake and hugged Azrael before slowly climbing out of his bed and standing up, stretching. Azrael climbed out after and took his hand as they went to the closet to change out of their sleep clothes. "Uhm, Az? Ixodius asked. "Yeah Ixxy?" "Uhm, Aren't you going to change first?" Ixodius asked. "Mhh, Comfortable enough with you." Azrael said, going into the closet while still holding Ixodius's hand. Ixodius blushed the entire time, and shyly looked away while Azrael got ready. Azrael helped Ixodius get dressed, as he was still tired and not used to changing. Azrael smiled and softly laughed the entire time, Ixodius sat there flustered. The two walked out of their chambers, Ixodius yawning, Azrael resting her head on his shoulder, both holding each other's hands. Michael spotted them and smiled at the two. Those two are so adorable. Michael thought to himself. "Oh hey Michael! Do you mind if we use the Observation Room?" Azrael asked. "Not at all Azrael" Michael replied. "Thank you Michael" Azrael responded, as Azrael and Ixodius headed over. Ixodius sat down with his legs hanging over the Observation Sphere, and Azrael approached him and sat in his lap, leaning back and resting against him. "Uhm..Hi Az.." Ixodius said, flustered. Azrael nuzzled against him "Mhh, Hi Ixxy" Azrael said softly. Ixodius put his arms out and held Azrael in his arms. Azrael nuzzled into him more. "Mhhhh…Soft" Azrael muttered. Ixodius sat there, still flustered, and slowly pet Azrael's head. Azrael smiled. Ixodius slowly got used to it and relaxed a bit, releasing some of the shy and embarrassed feeling in him, taking more on his happiness and pride for Azrael. He leaned his head down and met it with Azrael's, and cradled them, the both of them falling asleep. A few hours later, Michael came in to check on them, as they had been in there for a lot longer than usual. "Azrael, Ixod-"Michael started, but stopped when he saw the two of them asleep. Michael smiled and walked over, sitting down next to Ixodius and looking down at the Earth. "Hm..It's been pretty peaceful down there since Ixodius took care of Zevagoth." Michael quietly said to himself. "Nothing too big is going on, People have advanced quite far too." Michael noted. Ixodius slowly blinked awake. "Mhh..Huh? Michael?.." Ixodius asked, still waking up. "Oh! Sorry Ixodius, I didn't mean to wake you." Michael said "Wha…How long has it been?" Ixodius asked. "Uhm..About 4 hours?" Michael replied. Ixodius softly rubbed Azrael's head to wake them up. Azrael slowly blinked awake. "Mhh.Hm?..What Ixxy?..Oh, Hi Michael" Azrael said, lifting their head up and kissing Ixodius before getting up out of their lap and sitting next to them. Ixodius's face was flustered, and he was cold now that Azrael wasn't in his arms. "Uhm…Az?.." Ixodius started, extremely flustered "Huh? What is it Ixxy?" Azrael asked. "Uhm…Could..Could you come back?..I'm..I'm cold…" Ixodius asked, blushing hard and shyly turning his head. "Of course Ixxy" Azrael said smugly, grinning. She climbed back into his lap and let Ixodius lift her into his arms and cradle her. "Sure glad that there's not much work needing to be done so you two can bond hm?" Michael asked. "Yeah..Im just glad Azrael picked me up out of the dirt and fought so much for me..I still don't know why.." Ixodius said. Azrael turned their head up to Ixodius slowly, gently put her hand on his face and brought it to hers, kissing Ixodius. "Because I've always loved you, idiot" she said, smiling smugly before going back to nuzzling Ixodius. Ixodius was extremely flustered. His pupils turned to spirals as he stared into space, blushing. Michael sat there and put his face in his hand, observing the two and pondering the same thing as Ixodius: "How did those two end up together? Polar opposites, Ixodius shunned by Heaven, Why did Azrael from the beginning have care for Ixodius?. Without Azrael's intervention, Ixodius would be dead." Ixodius didn't know any of those, but all he knew was he was glad they were true. He was glad he had Azrael over anything else. Ixodius hesitated, but whispered into Azrael's ear. "I…I love you Azrael..". Azrael's ears perked up, and she blushed lightly and smiled. "I love you too, Ixxy." she said, rubbing her head against Ixodius's shirt. "Mhhhh…Ixxy..Can we go back to my chambers?." Azrael asked. Ixodius snapped back to attention. "Huh? Oh! uhm..Yeah." Ixodius said, standing up. Azrael was a little surprised but relaxed as Ixodius carried them. "Thanks for letting us outstay our welcome here, Michael." Ixodius said. Michael nodded. "Always enjoy observing you two." Michael replied, smiling. Ixodius carried Azrael over to their chambers, catching dirty looks from most Angels, which he did his best to ignore. Ixodius knew only around four angels at least didn't despise him, all others talked behind his back and some even feared him. It hurt him, but Azrael made it all go away and all worth it. Ixodius arrived at Azraels chambers, and went in, setting Azrael in her bed. "Mh..Lock the door and close the window will you?.." Azrael asked. Ixodius blushed a little, but locked the door and shut the window. Ixodius climbed into his bed, and was prepared to take an evening nap, but Azrael climbed out of her bed and into his, pressing up against him and burying her face in his neck. "A-Az?.." Ixodius asked, flustered. Mhh….Soft and warm." Azrael replied, she had a heated tone in her voice. Azrael unburied her face and moved back a bit from Ixodius. "Hey..Ixxy.." Azrael asked. "Y-Yeah?" Ixodius replied. "Can you take this off?.." Azrael asked, tugging at Ixodius's shirt. Ixodius blushed hard. He slowly and shakily took the bottom of his shirt and pulled it off. Azrael pressed back against him, burying her face in his shoulders and nuzzling him. "Mhhhhmhmhh, So sooooofftt…" Azrael said, burying herself into Ixodius's fur. Ixodius sat there, flustered as can be. Ixodius gently moved Azrael back, and turned around to face them. Ixodius then put his arms around Azrael and pulled her in, holding her close to him while she put her face in his chest. Ixodius rested his head against Azrael's. "Mhh…Ixxyyyyy?" Azrael asked, that heated tone in her voice again. "Uhh..Yeah, Az?" Ixodius asked. Azrael looked him in the eyes. "Do you…Do you mind if I take mine off too?…I wanna feel you as much as I can..You're so soft.." Azrael said, flustered. Ixodius's heart raced, His face crimson with blush. "Uhh..N-No?..I don't…You can if you want.." Ixodius stuttered. Azrael slowly pulled her shirt off, leaving her under top on. Ixodius blushed as she came back and nuzzled into him again. Azrael looked at him again, Ixodius was still blushing and avoiding looking. Azrael grinned smugly, and moved down. "Az?..What're you doing?.." Ixodius asked. Azrael reached down and grabbed Ixodius's shorts, then pulled them off. Ixodius blushed, hard. "A-Az??? Wha?-" Ixodius started, Azrael put her finger to his mouth. "Shh.." She said. Azrael took her shorts off, climbed back up, and wrapped her body around Ixodius's. Ixodius blushed insanely hard. Azrael slid out of Ixodius's grip, and laid on her back. Ixodius looked at her confused. "I Know you wanna feel me too. I promise, I'm soft too." Azrael said. Ixodius blushed even harder.

Sin 1:1

Ixodius sat there confused, not moving. "Come here, Ixxy" Azrael said softly. Ixodius slowly approached, laying on his side, facing Azrael. Azrael gently grabbed his wrist and placed his hand on her thigh. Ixodius's face was almost fully red at this point. "Don't be shy, I can't not let you after always playing with you." Azrael said smugly. Ixodius rubbed his hand around on Azrael's thigh, and softly gripped it. Azrael blushed hard and bit her lip. Ixodius moved his hand around her thigh more. Ixodius layed on his back as well, then lifted Azrael up and softly placed her on her back, laying on him. Azrael blushed. Ixodius put both his hands on her thighs, and rubbed them. "You're right, Az..You are soft." Ixodius said, all the shyness in him gone. Ixodius squeezed Azrael's thighs, Azrael blushed hard and covered her mouth, muffling a soft moan. Ixodius grinned and blushed, releasing Azrael's thighs and rubbing them again, before squeezing them again. Azrael went to cover her mouth but Ixodius released one of her thighs and gently grabbed her wrist. "I wanna hear it…I bet it's almost as cute as you are." Ixodius said. Azrael's face lit up, and Ixodius gripped Azrael's other thigh harder. She let out a soft moan, and started panting and sweating. Azrael's face was bright red. Ixodius turned her face and kissed her. Ixodius didn't let go, and let his tongue meet hers. Azrael began sweating hard, and her entire face was burning. Ixodius pulled off, a line of saliva connecting the two. Ixodius grinned smugly, and Azrael's eyes were spiraled. Ixodius moved his hands up and gently rubbed Azrael's waist, then he moved them up to the center of her torso, gently petting her stomach and sides. Azrael blushed and panted while sweating. Ixodius moved his hands and put them underneath Azrael's under top. Azrael's face lit up bright again and she bit her lip hard, fighting back another moan. Ixodius felt around, blushing hard himself. Ixodius slowly pulled his hands out, then grabbed the top and pulled it off of Azrael. Azrael muttered and blushed hard, not able to say anything. Ixodius gently placed his hands over Azrael's chest, and felt around before gently gripping. Azrael moaned rather loudly, causing Ixodius to pause, and Azrael to clasp her hands over her mouth, flustered as can be. Ixodius grinned smugly. "You're so adorable.." Ixodius said. Azrael was getting rather sweaty to the point that Ixodius's fur was getting damp. "You..You ok Az?..You're sweating quite alot-" Ixodius said. "I'm….Hhh…I'm fine..K-Keep going…Please.. Azrael said with a heated tone, panting and stuttering. Her eyes had resembled hearts as her breaths steamed as she panted. Ixodius grinned. He kept one hand on her chest, as the other moved down and slid underneath her bottoms. Azrael winced and bit her lip hard again as Ixodius moved his hand around underneath her underwear. Azrael panted heavily. Ixodius whispered into Azrael's ear. "Shhh..Calm down..You're sweating so much and I'm afraid you'll run out of breath~" Ixodius said. Azrael turned to face Ixodius. "I don't care if I..Pa…Pass out…..This…This feels so good….Please..Keep going~" Azrael muttered. "As you wish, Az~" Ixodius said. Ixodius gripped Azrael's chest, and pushed one of his fingers that were under Azrael's underwear into Azrael. Azrael's eyes shut as she moaned loudly, Ixodius took his hand off her chest and clasped it over her mouth before it came out for too long. Michael kept hearing strange noises from Azrael's chambers in the Observation room and grew curios, but ignored it for now. Azrael panted loudly, drool dripping from her tongue, sweat coating her. Ixodius slid another finger in and began moving them back and forth. "Am I doing ok?…Am I doing it right?" Ixodius asked. Azrael nodded her head while biting her lip and moaning to herself. "Good….I only know minimal based on what I observed myself in the Observation Room." Ixodius said. Ixodius opened his maw, steamy breath poured out and saliva dripped from his top teeth to his bottoms, and he gently placed it around Azrael's shoulder, biting down softly. Azrael moaned loudly, but Ixodius ignored it and kept his maw there, picking up speed with his hands. He put his other hand back on Azrael's chest and gripped it too. Azrael moaned even more, panting and sweating as the bed creaked and shook. Michael kept hearing and feeling the creaks and vibrations on the floor, coming from Azrael's chambers. Michael sat there and wondered what the two were doing. Ixodius released his maw from Azrael's shoulder, took his fingers out and moved his hand out of her underwear, and let go of her chest. "Relax and breathe, Az." Ixodius said. Azrael was drenched in sweat, which covered most of Ixodius too. Azrael turned over and kissed Ixodius, putting her tongue in his mouth. Ixodius blushed, but smugly grinned. He put his arms around Azrael and flipped over, now on top of Azrael. Azrael blushed hard, and Ixodius kissed deeper. Ixodius moved one of his hands down and gripped Azrael's butt. Azrael's pupils went thin and she tried to moan but couldn't. Ixodius continued to release and grip her butt, while still kissing her. Ixodius pulled off, lots of saliva connecting between the two. Ixodius opened his maw slightly, letting his tongue hang out. Azrael did the same, saliva connecting to the twos tongues. Ixodius slurped it up. "I like your taste~" Ixodius said. Azrael blushed. "You want me to do more things to you?~" Ixodius asked. "P-Please…" Azrael stuttered, panting. "Alright, Im going to try everything I've observed~ Just let me know how it feels and if I should stop, ok Az?~" Ixodius said. "M-Mhm..~" Azrael muttered in response. Ixodius moved his hand back to Azraels lower waist and gripped her underwear, pulling them down, then completely off. Azrael's face turned crimson. Ixodius flipped around again, puting Azrael back laying on top of him on her back, then put his hand in between her thighs and rubbed back and forth for a bit, occasionally picking up speed. Azrael moaned a few times when she couldn't hold it back. Michael heard these as he was walking past their room to his. He stood still and walked over to the door, hearing heavy panting from inside. He tried to open the door but it was locked, Azrael and Ixodius didn't notice the door handle jiggling. Ixodius reached down with his other hand and slowly pulled his underwear off. Azrael's ears perked up as she felt something suddenly touch against her thigh. Ixodius moved his hand, and put his part between Azrael's thighs. The tip of it laying just above hers. Azrael's eyes went to spirals as she blushed hard, and froze. "You sure you want this?~" Ixodius asked. Azrael nodded swiftly, panting. Ixodius gently grabbed her hips, and moved her down. Azrael felt the tip go inside of her, and moaned loudly. "SHhhhhhh" Ixodius said. Azrael bit her lip. Ixodius pushed it in further, Azrael fighting for her life to not moan out loud. Ixodius panted a bit too, moaning softly. Ixodius put half of it in, and moaned blissfully. Azrael couldn't hold it back, and did too. Michael sat stunned outside Azrael's chambers, hearing everything going on inside. "D-Deeper!…I-I wa…I want more…~" Azrael said, some sort of Lust Drive going off in her. Ixodius grinned, and pushed it in further. Azrael moaned loudly, Ixodius did the same. Without thinking, Ixodius pushed it all the way in. Azrael's pupils practically disappeared as she moaned very loud. Ixodius groaned blissfully, and began pushing it in and out. Azrael moaned softly, and Ixodius took half of It out before thrusting it all the way in again. Azrael moaned very loud again, and Ixodius repeated this. Occasionally going in further and taking it out less. Ixodius started to get faster and faster, keeping it fully in Azrael but pushing it deeper and deeper. Azrael could tell Ixodius was close to breaking. "Hhh.Ahh~..I-Ixxy…W-Wai-" Azreal started. Ixodius suddenly pushed it as deep as he could, and moaned loudly. Azrael felt a warm substance flood inside of her rapidly, and she moaned loudly. Ixodius pushed it further and kept it in. Ixodius sweated and panted heavily, Azrael doing the same. Ixodius slowly pulled it out, fluids flowed out of Azrael and Ixodius, dripping onto the bed. Ixodius took a deep breath in, then out. Azrael fell over face first into her bed, her lower half still on Ixodius's. Fluids still dripped out of Azrael, and Ixodius sat there panting. Ixodius sat up and headed to the bathroom to clean himself. After doing so, he put on his night clothes, and went back to his bed. He lifted up the naked Azrael and brought her over to the bathroom, wetting his hand with water and soap then scrubbing Azrael completely. Ixodius cleaned and dried her off, then re-dressed her before taking her to his bed and cuddling her, falling asleep with her in his arms.

Sin 1:2

Ixodius woke up early in the morning to Azrael moaning in her bed, not in his arms anymore. He quietly and un-noticed turned over to see what Azrael was doing. Azrael had one of her hands in her pants, and was moving her hand around up and down, moaning softly and sweating. "…Morning, Az-" Ixodius said. Azrael, startled and flustered as can be, quickly pulled her hand out of her pants and put them to her side. "M-Morning I-Ixxy!…" She said flustered. Ixodius grinned smugly. "You missed It that much?~" he asked. Azrael nodded. "We can't do it too much, or it loses the point and purpose, Az." Ixodius said. "But…I..I crave it now…It felt so good I just want..Want more.." Azrael said, panting. Her pupils resembled hearts as she panted. Ixodius grabbed her and pulled her back into cuddling. "We can at another time. Just not for a bit ok?" He said. Azrael nodded and sighed. A couple of hours later, the two woke up again and got up together and went to the closet. Azrael helped Ixodius change first, taking off his shirt, then getting on her knees to help take off his shorts. Azrael paused. "Az?.." Ixodius said. Azrael stood up and hugged Ixodius. "Awwh..Tha-"Ixodius started, then felt Azrael's hand go in his underwear. "A-Az!.." Ixodius said, stuttering. "Oh..Let me have fun.~" Azrael said. Azrael got on her knees again, put both hands on his waist and pulled his shorts and underwear down to his paws. "A-Azrael..!" Ixodius said, startled. "I wanna try it myself…Don't be a baby~" Azrael said. Azrael put her hand around It and moved it back and forth. Ixodius moaned softly. Azrael put her hands on Ixodius's chest and pushed him gently to the ground. She climbed over onto him. Azrael put her hand back on it and went back to stroking. After a bit, Azrael got back and opened her mouth wide. Saliva dripped onto Ixodius's waist and steamy breaths came from Azrael's maw. Azrael put the tip of it in her mouth, and felt around it with her tongue. Ixodius's face turned crimson. Azrael gradually put it deeper in her mouth, then without warning pushed it all the way in, deep into the back of her throat. Azrael choked, but began swallowing with it in her throat. Ixodius moaned loudly and couldn't fight Azrael to not keep going. Azrael started moving her head up and down, gradually getting faster. She pulled it halfway out and moved up and down from there. Ixodius moaned more, and it started twitching? "Mh-Hm?" Ixodius put his hands around the top of Azrael's head. "M-MH?!" Azrael made a noise, as Ixodius forced her head down all the way, as well as pushing it as deep as he could into her throat, before Azrael felt fluids flooding into her throat. Azrael gagged and choked as she swiftly took it out of her mouth. Azrael coughed, fluids coming out at times with it. She put her mouth back over the tip and started to suck. After a few seconds, she took it out again and swallowed. "Hehe…Don't wanna be wasteful~" She said. Ixodius was sweating and panting. "..N-Naughty A-Az……." he muttered. Azrael cleaned him off and the two got dressed.

Love 1:4

Ixodius and Azrael walked out of Azrael's room, Ixodius flustered as can be, sweating, and Azrael lightly blushing and grinning smugly. Azrael failed to notice that they had some liquid dripping down her lip. As Ixodius and Azrael walked over to their favorite hang out spot, the Observation Room, Michael intercepted them. "Morning, lovebirds. And uh….Azrael…What is that on your lip?.." Michael asked. Azrael cocked her head, then licked it off her face. "Oh, Nothing~.." Azrael said with a heated tone, grinning at Ixodius. Ixodius shyly put his head down and blushed hard. Azrael giggled and hugged Ixodius's arm tightly. "Ahem…Anyways….Azrael, you mind explaining what noises you were making last night and why?.." Michael asked. Azrael and Ixodius froze. "What. Were. You. Two. Doing?" Michael asked again, sternly. Ixodius stammered. "I..We…Uhm….It just…uh…." "We had sex." Azrael said, flat out. Ixodius blushed hard and buried his face into his hands. Michael stared at the two. "Come with me, both of you." Michael said sternly. "Why Michael? You don't have Authority over me." Azrael said. "Please." Michael said. Azrael and Ixodius followed Michael into the observation room, where he opened a secret door and led the two inside. "One of the only soundproof areas of Heaven. I can give you a key. Just know, NOBODY can find out do you hear me? About what you two did. That is such a heavy sin, Azrael, why?" Michael asked. "Felt like it…Ixxy and I were laying there cuddling and I just..Felt this drive." Azrael explained. Michael sighed, and handed Azrael a key. "Don't lose it. Put it somewhere safe." Michael said. "Oh I will." Azrael said smugly, stuffing the key into their chest. Michael just stared at Azrael and sighed again. "You can customize this room to your liking, hell, even make it your new room, I don't care. Just…Be careful you idiots. I can harbor your secret but others cant." Michael said. Azrael nodded. Ixodius's face was crimson as he buried it in his hands. Over time, Azrael and Ixodius moved their stuff into the room, and Ixodius used magic to manipulate the shape of the room, making it much larger, and adding things like a closet and bathroom into it. Azrael and Ixodius shared one bed now, with Ixodius merging both of their beds together with magic. Nobody seemed to question why Azrael and Ixodius never went in or out of their room, not knowing of the new one. Michael kept quiet, keeping his promise, but having curiosity over it.."Do…Do I want to experience it too?…What is this..this Feeling?…No…..Yes?.." Michael spoke quietly to himself. Michael was curious, wanted to experience it. Wanted to feel love in his emptiness. It got boring just observing every day for centuries. Michael exited the Observation Room and wandered around heaven. While wandering, Raphael caught his eye, sitting on a bench in the shade. She had always sticken to Gabriel's side and gotten close to him, just to be shut off by him. Michael approached Raphael and sat next to her. "Hey Raphael." Michael said. Raphael shot up, surprised. "M-Michael! H-Hi!…Suprised me!..Nobody ever really talks to me.." Raphael said. Michael examined Raphael, and then met her eyes. "I..know this is..sudden and random…but……You're uh..You're very pretty.." Michael stuttered, flustered. Raphael blushed and brought her knees up to her face, and buried her face, Blushing secretly. "I'm sorry..that was…" Michael started. Raphael stopped him by wrapping her arms around him and burying her face into his chest, crying into him. "O..oh…A-Are you ok?.. Michael asked. Raphael gripped his shirt tighter and cried into him. "Nobody…Nobody every aknowledges me….I loved Gabriel but he always pushed me away…I just…Thank you for even seeing me at all." Raphael said, smiling then crying again. Michael hesitated, but wrapped his arms around Raphael and let her cry. Raphael climbed completely into Michael's lap and wrapped her arms around him. Michael wrapped his arms around her and smiled. Raphael had soft skin, and was only 5'9. She had long, messy hair, and always wore shorter clothes than the other Angels. When she finished crying, Raphael apologized to Michael. "There's no need to apologize…And…You're welcome any time to come to me." Michael said. "Can I…Follow you around?…There hasn't been any need to prep the army and all that…And this job is alot of stress…." Raphael said. "Of Course, any time Raphael." Michael said. Raphael climbed off of Michael and sat back down. Michael got up. "You coming?" Michael asked. Raphael nodded but didn't move. Michael sighed and smiled. He walked over and put his arms under Raphael. "H-Huh?" Raphael asked. Michael lifted Raphael up into his arms and carried her over to the Observation Room, setting her down then sitting next to her. Raphael blushed, and leaned against Michael. "Yknow..I kinda liked you too, Michael.." Raphael said. Michael turned to her. "No, I didn't." he replied. Raphael Hugged Michael. Raphael stood up. "It's getting late…I should be going back to my room for sleep." Raphael said. "Goodnight, Raphael. See you soon." Michael responded. Raphael nodded and headed to her room. Michael sat there happily, having affection for the first time. He headed to his room and went to sleep.
