around 9 thousand years ago
Angels withering around them being corrupted she had been trying to kill Azrael before she knocked off his mask she ripped his cowl off touching his hair
‘So black so unlike other angels you should be mine why do you not give in to the darkness sweet angel’ she says
‘I will not. Not today, I will Endure someone must carry the memories of those who have fallen I am sure I can be replaced I am not so arrogant to believe otherwise I am the Angel of Death Virtue of Patience kill me if you want but I will not be Felled ‘ he had said he had believed every word he said to her young. Azazel who Satan would later remake as his son glared at him, he lashed out freeing him from the Bonds holding him there Azrael wasted no time he grabbed Azazel and flew up the Shadow chased them
Eve used her light to knock the shadows away for him to make it to Wrath. they were going Toe to Toe to think Heaven had Written of Eve as just Another Sinner but there she was Fighting the Goddess of evil unaffected by the Corruption of the Abyss and what’s more, she had come to his Rescue without Prompting. she could have saved them If Aro had just accepted her Offer to Lead them. he passed out once he landed.
Satan found, them by then Azazel the angel was gone he came to, to Satan Fighting the Monster the young angel became, it was not like Lucifer his mind was gone
‘ Azazel ‘ he whispered
‘Is that its name thanks ‘ Satan activated his circle saying its name trapping him the creature banged against the Barrier screeching
‘ you saved me why?’ Azrael asked
‘ you are my Virtue I did not like feeling your distress besides looking at an empty chair across from mine would be boring ‘ Satan said looking at the creature ‘This Roos doing’
‘No you were right the soldiers were too weak and now he is the only one left the commander should have listened they were corrupted by the Abyss itself she didn’t need to do anything except block them while it happened, Eve just got here and she was doing better than any of us she is still fighting Roo’ he said worried for her
'You are fine that is great’ Satan said the angel looked sad
‘I am the angel of death I am meant to guide the souls of the dead not guide them to their Deaths’ Azrael said he bit his lip brow creasing as he made his scythe appear ready to end Azazel's suffering
'No, this one is mine now I won,' Satan said grabbing his Angels Wrist their Energy clash
he drops his weapon
'What are you doing' Azrael said the Sin Force his hand on the Barrier
Azrael struggled still weakened by Roo his hand hurt it burned Satan put the hand not holding his in place against the barrier drops of their blood rolled down the barrier from their hands black and gold mix
'The mind is gone but the vessel is still useful,' Satan says
'Stop' Azrael said the creature withered and turned to stone with a scream
'Oh right to answer your question ' the stone shattered Dust was trapped in the barrier there was a faint crying that grew louder “We made a baby I will keep that name “ he let Azrael go and dropped the barrier he walked in the Angel stood frozen Satan walked over and used his tail to pick up the tiny infant fallen
'I was right your hands don’t look as pretty stained in blood,' Satan said
“How is Azazel?“ Azrael asks
“Drained he’s been dealing with Abyss remnants not hurt just tired they ain’t strong just many only a fallen or Seraphim can dispel them but they can’t kill fallen or even hurt them, “ Satan says “If that bitch Abel could fight I’d ask you to have him lighten his load if he was staying awake but that pampered brat doesn’t know how to fight last time you had him try he just got in Azazels way even Dic force the Shades back boy hated being Pitied like that”
“I am sorry for that but to be fair it’s Michael’s fault,” Azrael says
“Could send Adam down once he’s adapted he had Rush brain so now all his training with Archangels should be fresh in his mind and Body” Lucifer says
“Father can’t be worse than the son trust me,” Satan says
Eve was talking to Alex alone after the others reluctantly went to their own rooms to eat
“Ok it wouldn’t be the first time but I’d like to check in on my boys do that and I’ll play your game,” Alex says
“Hm I can’t take you there you will be going there tomorrow but I can use my powers so you can look in on them,” Eve says touching the air a viewing portal appeared Vale was in a bed Whisp curled up with him the White foxes face was flush a girl who looked like Lucifer was changing the cloth on his head a Cat with wings came in with a tray with two bowls of soup Whisp shot up
“‘You are so lucky Baxter can make a Consomme,” he says the girls help Vale sit up and start feeding him Whisp starts drinking his bowl
Alex smiled
“Your children are adorable, “ Eve says
“Yeah I wish I was allowed to be there more,” Alex says he Video called as much as he could to Find out his son had the same sickness as his uncle was heartbreaking “They are in good hands for now”
“You are not going back are you,” Eve says dismissing Lookingglass
“Nope and Keijo is my in that idiot needs all the protection he can get making a contract without even going over the details if I had to guess they’d keep him where my boys are during the forty days,” Alex says
“You really have no care for your own life,” she says
“No my boys are my life my World Whisp sickness was why I had such a high paying dangerous job to pay for his treatment and cost of living and Vales Schooling he was gonna be a doctor,” Alex says
“How can you care so much for a child that's not yours” Eve asks
that confused her she gave birth to Cain and couldn’t love him. how could this man love a child, not his?
“I raised him since he was an infant for five years while in training. his mother had postpartum she couldn’t even look at him I changed his diapers, I fed him, I was there for his first steps, and his first word was Lex. I took him to daycare and picked him up. I took him to his first day of school. Avalyn wasn’t a good mother she was very work-oriented. Her parents and Brother saw me as a good Father, unlike Vale's sire.
then we got drunk celebrating my graduation from basic training and Whisp happened Gabriel Whisper Chevalier. He may have been born a hermaphrodite and a month early but he was perfect to me she died in childbirth from a car accident her brake pads were worn down and it was raining turns out she left custody of the kids to her mother Chase tried to warn me his mother was crazy but I was told he was joking then he and his stepfather died in a Car crash
two years after I was approached with the job and I was told Whisp had the same sickness as his uncle so I took it the pay was too high but I never stopped Loving my boys Vale is my son no blood test would ever tell me he wasn’t Love doesn’t need a reason “ he explains
Eve tilts her head
“I love all but one of my Children I just couldn’t love Cain. why is that?” she asks
“There could be several reasons he was born before you were ready to be a mother sounds like Postpartum and you didn’t have therapy to work you through it you likely do love him you just don’t know how to get over that resentment for the pain you went through,” Alex says
she nods “hm I love his children but then they don’t look like copies of Adam,” Eve says
“We talking about that ram guy, “ Alex says
“Yes that's Cain how did you know?” She asks
“He has your eyes well the shape and size,” he says
“No he looks like Adam” she denies
“I’m sure but his eyes are yours are you certain Adam was the only one you saw that made you not love him” Alex says Eve looked lost in thought processing this
“Who ate the fruit first you or Adam”
it was her then Adam he looked at her with sadness and fear she asked him to share it he took
and Bit into it what was he muttering as he ate
‘I do not want to be alone do not leave me too‘ Yes that's what he said his shadow moved the eyes staring at her from it before disappearing that had been Roo the darkness she let in
“ Why do you hate him so much?” Alex asks
“Adam I was made for him I never had a choice but to be his it’s not so much hate but resentment after the apple he never demanded submission from me I believe he was worried I’d leave him like Lilith and Lucifer,” Eve says smiling
“I got it, “ Alex says
“Got what?” she asks
“I was an intelligence agent you can’t love Cain not just because of how he looked but because Adam loved him more than you “She opened her mouth “Not because you loved Adam but because as you said you were made for him so in your mind he should have loved you more then anyone there should have been no one he loved more then you the fact he had your eyes made you all the more bitter, seems you’ve grown out of it but the memories of that mindset are still there”
she thought hard about it he was right she chuckled he furrowed his brow “I think you're right” she looked at him “You’re more like Ozzie than should be possible” Eve said as she started to Fade “See you later I hope you are well equipped"
“Oh she has no idea” he whispered under his breath Ozzie wasn’t the first to tell him he had a body personifying Lust or the fifth
he gets up and walks to Virgil's room he finds them climbing all over who he assumed was Adam
