A/N- So this is an AU (which I normally don't do) where the Germanics (Lili, Roderich, Ludwig, ect.) are either angels or devils. Human names used. Based off an RP. I used the name Alaric for Germania; other human names are pretty much the normal fandom ones. Please excuse OOCness.

EDIT: I've decided to go through and correct all my grammar and spelling (mostly spelling) errors in this (and maybe the rest) story.

Characters- Norway, Switzerland, Prussia, Finland, Germania, mentions of Denmark, Sweden.

Nikoli woke up in a strange forest; it was too dark and silent to be normal. He had no memories of really anything, but that may be due to the pain throughout his whole body. At the thought of how beaten he was, it made him sick and he coughed up blood. It tasted rusty and acidic like the bile it was mixed with.

Nikoli went on full alert at the sound of a twig snapping and footsteps behind him. He whirled around, crouching on the ground, terrified and wondering what's going on. A female voice speaks from the trees.

"Hey. Are you alright?"

Strange unseen voices however only serve to cause Nikoli to tense up more and look around silently. The voice speaks again.

"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." Against his better judgment, Nikoli slowly nods.

"Do you have a name?" The voice is like sweet bells.

"Ni-Nikoli."

"Nikoli? Nice name. I'm Heidi."

"Th-thanks."

"Are you hurt?"

Nikoli took some time before responding. "I think so…"

"I'll help you. But in return, you have to help me. Got it?"

"Okay…"

"Good." Heidi stepped out from the trees, a beautiful young woman in a white shirt, silver skirt, and silver knee high boots. She had a strange braid in her hair, towards the front but on the side, but the truly strange part was the angel wings extending from her back.

Nikoli looked on in wonder. His mythology didn't account for this type of creature. "You don't look like a faerie or human or troll."

Heidi giggled slightly, "I'm an angel."

"Angel?"

"Yes." Heidi knelt down by Nikoli's feet and gently grabs his broken ankle. This action causes Nikoli to hiss slightly in pain. "Sorry." The angel laid her hand across it and started healing it, a blue glow emitting from her hand. "Does it feel better?"

"A little… My faeries don't like you."

"Oh? Why not?" Heidi wasn't taken aback, just mildly amused.

Nikoli simply shrugged. "They just don't."

Heidi finishes healing and smiles. "There! That should do it!"

"Wow…"

"Now you have to help me." Heidi looked at the boy sternly.

"How?"

Heidi lifts her leg up, revealing a chain. "Can you get this off?"

"Umm…" Nikoli holds his hand over it and his faeries start to melt it. Finally, the chain melts away.

"Ahh! Finally!" Heidi stretches and spreads her wings and flies off the ground a little. "Thanks you. Is there anyone you know I could take you to?"

Nikoli thought for a moment, trying to gather his memories then shakes his head. "I ran away from my… caretaker… Matthias."

"Matthias? That name sounds familiar."

"Don't take me back there!"

"I won't!" Heidi extends her hand to the young boy and smiles warmly. "Do you want to come with me? I'm sure he might be looking for you."

Nikoli's faeries blink on and off frantically but Heidi simply wraps her arms around Nikoli's waist and lifts him off the ground. However, he starts to panic and shriek.

"Relax. Don't panic or I'll drop you." Heidi reprimanded the boy gently.

Nikoli goes still, his faeries attempting to keep up with Heidi's flight. Soon they fly over a village with other angels in it. Nikoli takes the moment to ask the questions he'd been wondering.

"Wh-what's an angel exactly?"

"Well an angel is supposed to keep humans away from any harm or devils. We are usually stationed in cities or villages like the one below us."

"Ahh. Why were you chained?"

"I was chained up by my brother. He's a devil."

"Devil? Are you like gods?"

Heidi smiles and flies higher towards the clouds. "Yeah, I guess we kind of are like gods." Nikoli gets a sudden nosebleed due to the high altitude. "Haha, sorry. One we break through the clouds you will be able to breathe just fine."

"H-how?"

"Because sometimes humans need to speak to our king. And so we had to make it so humans can breath normally up here like they do on the ground."

"Oh." Soon they fly above the clouds and Nikoli can breath normally, only to have a grand palace and city in the clouds steal his breath away. "Whoa…"

Heidi nods along, "Yeah I know." She lands on a cloud that feels like solid ground in the palace.

"Where are my faeries?"

"They're not allowed up here. They'll be waiting just outside the clouds."

"N-Nikoli?" A Finnish teen runs over towards them.

"Tino!"

Said teen runs over, "What are you doing here?"

Nikoli shrugs slightly. "The angel brought me here."

"Oh I see. I'm here to talk to the king."

"I'm not sure why I'm here." Heidi leads Tino inside the palace, Nikoli tagging along.

Heidi bowed at the foot of the throne, "Vati! Oops I mean your majesty!"

Nikoli leans over to Heidi and questions the choice of words. "Vati?"

"Yeah. Vati means dad."

"Oh."

King Alaric watched the party for a few minutes until Heidi pushes Tino towards Alaric.

"Go on."

Tino nervously smiled at the king. "Err… m-moi moi!" King Alaric only looked at Tino. "My name is Tino."

"What is it you need to speak to me about Tino?"

"Erm… It's this guy Matthias is always fighting with…"

"And who is this other guy Matthias is fighting with?"

"Berwald."

"I see. And what do you want my angels to do? Do you want protection?"

Tino nodded. "Yes please."

King Alaric nodded along in approval. "Alright. You are granted protection. But the thing about these angels is you won't be able to see them. They will only come out when you call for help."

"Okay. Thanks."

Just as King Alaric nods to end the meeting, an angel runs in, wounded. "Your majesty it's your devil son Gilbert! He's here!"

"Did you attempt to stop him?"

"Yes we tried everything."

"Where is he now?"

At that moment, Gilbert smashes open the hall doors, "The awesome me has arrived!" He is wearing dark jeans and a black hoodie. He flicked his dark red tail back and forth menacingly, his horns that faded from black to red glinting in the light.

King Alaric turned to Heidi. "Heidi. The humans."

Heidi nods and put Nikoli and Tino behind her outspread wings to protect them. "Gilbert. You know you're not allowed here."

Gilbert smirks and folds his arm, showing off his long fangs. "So? I do what I want."

King Alaric frowned at his son. "What do you want? Even though you may be my son you are forbidden from here."

Gilbert frowns and spits a couple bloody angel feathers at him, "You have weak guards."

King Alaric simple glares and repeats himself. "What do you want?"

"Let me stay in the human world. I'm tired of hell."

"No. I will not allow it."

Gilbert grits his teeth, "I will not go back there."

"You are a devil. You are put where you belong."

Gilbert grins and starts gathering fire around one of his hands. "I am a devil. And I'll go where I please."

King Alaric stands up angrily, "You will stay in hell!"

"Nein!" Gilbert throws the fireball at him.

King Alaric dodges it and shouts to Heidi, "Heidi! Get the humans out of here!" She complies and runs out with Nikoli and Tino. Gilbert sneers and grabs the angel who had alerted King Alaric and rips her wings off, causing her to scream in pain. "Gilbert! Stop!" King Alaric demanded.

"Can I travel freely?" Gilbert drops the angel to the ground.

"I will limit your boundaries though."

"To what?"

"You are not allowed to come here unless summoned by me. Also you cannot bother any city or village or anything to do with humans."

"What if the humans live in the middle of nowhere?"

"Don't bother them. And don't chain up your siblings again."

"And if they talk to me first?" Gilbert crosses his arms defiantly; "Devil law says I'm able to do whatever I want to anyone who makes contact with me first without any punishment."

"If they talk to you first then it's their fault."

Gilbert smirks. "Deal." He holds out a bloody hand to shake with.

King Alaric wipes his hand before shaking it. "Now. Be gone." Gilbert smirks and with a snap disappears, leaving behind the scent of smoke.
