Chapter 14
“What are you doing,” Alex said firmly
teens had a deer-in-the-headlights look
“He’s a fallen and the most human-looking Demon I’ve seen,” Virgil says
“It’s fine I’m good with kids,” Adam says a little embarrassed
this was a broken man
“We are invited to a party for royal kids and adults the ones not part of the orgy that's apparently happening,” Nathaniel says
“I have to be part of it and I still don’t understand why it’s a thing,” Adam says
“Must be awkward to be in it with your Ex-wife” Alex says
“How do you-“ Keijo says
“Intelligence agent, “ Alex says
“Yeah more awkward than you think,” Adam says
“How so? “ Ryuu asks
“Lucifer is married to my first wife and this is their palace, “ Adam says they hiss “Luckily she's not here but that doesn’t make it less awkward since her husband is likely going to fuck me”
“Wait Adam and Eve you’re the first Man,” Nathaniel says
“Um Yeah, “ he says
“Whoa this all must be Awkward you two being Atheist, “ the Teen says pointing at Virgil and Ryuu they look at each other
“Uh we are not Atheist,” Ryuu says
“Yeah we’re agnostic or deism,” Virgil says shrugging “We don’t believe in religion”
Ryuu nods
“Why “ Keijo says
“Me because Religions are written by men and men have Egos and are self-important, “Ryuu says
“While I believe there is a god I don’t understand the concept of one who takes attendance,” Virgil says
Ryuu nods “That to, “ he says
“A good amount of the bible is true except God created the Universe long before the angels but after dinosaurs and then the ice age he went hands off with Earth after he made Eden and the first Angels who made me and Lilith from the dust as equals I was an ass I demanded submission I was basically a child in an adult body I didn’t know any better and the Angels wouldn’t correct me so she left and they made Eve from me I was more careful I didn’t want her to leave me like Samiel before he became Lucifer and Lilith” Adam explains
“Is that why you ate the Apple?” Keijo asks
“Yeah, “ Adam says
“If god was hands off who made Jesus?” he asks
Adam looks unsure but tells them the story of Gabriel
“The archangel Gabriel is dead,” Nathaniel says
“Archangel? Not he was one of the Seven Heavenly high Virtues Michael is in charge of the Archangel I can understand the confusion there he is one in name but Gabriel was Diligences he was in charge of Guardian Angels and making Heaven weapons he was a major workaholic” Adam says
“And Raphael “ Keijo asks
“Virtue of Humility and he guides Powers Remiel is in charge of training the Principalities, Uriel the Cherubs ,“ he explains the seven and their jobs “Then Azrael-“
“Angel of death, “ the three Adults say
“Yeah and Virtue of patience, “ Adam says
“He looks cool so different from those other angels he’s light duality, “ Nathaniel says
“Yeah they like him here in hell to find out Royals have a body pillow of him,” Adam says
he tells them about the other Seven
“Truthful Azrael is the nicest to human souls since Gabriel, the others really don’t interact with human souls so much anymore,” Adam says
“That's sad considering he’s the Angel of Death,” Nathaniel says
“Some things bugging me Why is heaven letting this Prophecy of Despair happen and why make a human prophet ” Keijo asks
“Aaa I think - so the Virtue of hope Rises too also because once it starts it can’t be stopped as for the other thing I don’t know that used to be Gabriel’s job but Cassiel took over and this is the first one he’s activated but other then that I don’t know I think Vassago can see the past and Future but not Prophecy’s but Stolas job is to record human Prophecy’s so you are kinda part of his job” Adam says
“Virgils the Prophet, “ Ryuu says
“I meant you as a unit, “ Adam says ‘I could have sworn’
“Ah so is he going to question us at the party?” Keijo Asks
“Likely I had to Study things about royals for this but what I wasn’t told I saw Stolas can be a little Awkward he fumbles his words sometimes if he gets flustered by he’s nice mostly he pointed out you all had to live and be returned to Earth you are the living human witnesses of the rise of the Despair keyword Living so there's like a reverse hit on you Heaven and hell will be going out of their way to make sure you all live including to one not here until Despair has risen” Adam says
Ryuu sighs rubbing his brown “Can I at least have a say in who shadows me” he says
“Do you think heaven knows about the reaper whose halo got broken?” Nathaniel says
Silence
“What “ the men say
“Yeah an Angel came to reap me after I came back to life and one of us threw a knife and broke it” the teen says
“How that’s not how halos work what happened to them?” Adam Asks
“He screamed and flew away after that we don’t know,” Virgil says
“That's bad a halo is like a link to heaven without it one can’t contact or create a doorway to heaven so he’s either still on Earth or in hell but Why wouldn’t anyone- Aeshma they think he ate him,” Adam says
“Ate” Virgil says
“Yeah Aeshma has a bad habit if an angel of Death gets too close to his mark he sometimes Eats them he doesn’t kill them they stay inside a subspace inside him for half a year then spits them out they either endure and return to heaven stronger then before or fall and join Azazel brood fighting the darkness in deepest pit but if his halo was broken there wouldn’t be a point he wouldn’t be able to absorb his energy
