CHAPTER 1: The Red Snow
The wing blew bringing a soft and gentle breeze to the forest. Robust trees with grey trunk and delicate silvery white leaves mingled harmoniously with the silvery white grass that covered the soil. Small multicolored animals fluttered between branches with shiny and thick plumage. The landscape looks pure, enchanted and almost surreal.
But this calm and beauty didn't match with the stage that was happening several meters back. Beings with human appearance were inspecting the forest in search of potential threats. They were equipped in metallic armors and dangerous weaponry. Even drenched in blood, their physical features were beautiful, fine and perfect.
A few kilometers back, where the forest is less dense and the fields consisted of bushes and extensive silvery white grasses, a bloody, cruel and ruthless battle happened. Blood was spilled like rivers, from thousands of maimed bodies with neither life nor soul. They were crowded and scattered throughout the battlefield looking like a cemetery of meat and scarlet grass.
In the middle of such a scenary, a very tall young man was found. His physical features were fine and at the same time, very masculine. His light cream skin looked delicate and perfect. His long black hair fell on his shoulders and back. His sculpted body was dressed with a metallic armor, as the others, and had a sharp sword wielded in his right hand. His powerful look was directed to the ground. Blue-green eyes looked carefully at silvery white grass tainted in scarlet.
"How could something so pure can be tainted with something so trivial? It will never be the same, no matter how much you clean it..." thought with disdain. "Captain Lucifel" whispered a member of his unit, shaking his shoulder gently to bring him out of his thoughts.
He is the perfect son of the Lord and a great power and seraphim. He is one of the highest, strongest and purest angels in the entire Heaven; hailed by many, loved by so many, feared by too many and respected by all. It was impossible not to adore him, just as it was impossible not to think he was the Mighty Son of the Light.
The angel in question directed his gaze to his teammate. His companion was several inches smaller than himself and had a soft and youth appearance. He had golden yellow hair that was short and tamed, gorgeous light chocolates eyes and a beautiful tan skin that was adorned by an armor suit similar to his own. This young man was Ruhel, his loyal Lieutenant.
"We won, all the army was destroyed. The only survivors are civilians" Ruhel said looking into his eyes. The Captain took his time to look around. Thousands of bodies were on the ground, hindering any progress his subordinates were making to close the distance between them and their superiors.
The Lord wanted to extend his heavenly empire and sent his most trusty units to carry out his conquest. They were divided in different groups. The healing unit has the task to aid medically to the warriors and hostages. The conquering units have the task to destroy any opposition and gain the planet they were invading. The custody units have the task to watch enemy survivors and provide them of food and shelter. The backups units have the task to aid the conquering units and protect the new colony. When the mission succeeds, the government unit is sent to take control of the new colony and blend it with the new system.
"Let's go back to the headquarters" said the captain looking back at his lieutenant with a smile "and we will work in sending the news to Heaven from there".
The journey back to the headquarters took several hours, but they didn't found any delay. After traveling through large forests and crossing several crystalline rivers, very similar to the ones back in Heaven and Assiah, they got to their destination.
The city was silent. Giant skyscrapers made in glass and metal with asymmetrical shapes could be seen. Each building had its own garden and recreational area. There were parks everywhere and huge asphalt streets with an island of vegetation at its center.
In the middle of the city was a huge building with a beautiful and colorful frontal garden. It had a fountain with a strange statue of an animal that kept weeping. This building hosted the late emperors of this world, but now, was used as the military headquarters of Heaven. Once inside the headquarters, they were greeted by the healing unit, who immediately got them in their respective cubicle for checkups.
A beautiful female healer was in charge of taking care of the glorious captain. She was young and short of height with long silky pink hair tied in a ponytail, big round gray eyes and soft tan skin. She was dressed in a blue surgery outfit and a doctor white coat. The captain looked intensely at the woman, puzzled by the strange mixture of colors. "Good afternoon, captain" said the female angel nervously.
"You have got to be kidding me, she talks just like Baal, how unbearable." though the great captain annoyed. But he didn't show his annoyance in his features and opted to give her a pleasant smile that instantly melts her. This gave her enough courage to begin her work.
Many years ago, a clairvoyant predicted that twins would be born and that, meanwhile one of them would be the epitome of darkness, the other one would be the bringer of light. It seems that this prediction talked about his twin brother and himself. Since then, they obtained a full time nanny. The female angel named Baal. She has long silky blond hair, bright blue eyes and light cream colored skin with huge feminine curves. She was gorgeous indeed, but highly annoying. He hated her with passion and pure ire. Ire that grew every single time she got his twin's attention.
The check up didn't last long since he only had minor and superficial injuries. As soon as the female healer finished patching him, he excuses himself and went to the meeting room. He had to use the elevator in the reception hall to get to the second floor. Since the building was huge, they used the ground floor as the healer base.
The ground floor consisted of the reception and two wings used for surgery, rehabilitation, recovery rooms and cubicles to patch up minor injuries. The first and second floor was used by conquering and backup units to plan new strategies and decide what route to take. The second floor had a giant meeting room, perfect for their purpose. The rest of the floors consisted of bedrooms with its personal bathrooms.
Once in the second floor, he took the left wing passing through a small reception area with its own waiting room. The meeting room was crowded but, as soon as he entered, the silence reign.
