Orpheus' Cry

by Shun'u

[Chp. 1] “Do you think that Hell is all that people have written it to be? ...a raging inferno, like the Italians describe it? Or will it be a dark pit ruled by a lonely god, like in Greek myth? ...What is your Hell like?” || Mudou Setsuna ||

1. Savior of the Damned

Title:	Orpheus' Cry
Author:	Shun'u
Series:	Angel Sanctuary: Tenshi Kinryouku
Genre:	Alternate Universe
Rating:	R - due to religious and controversial subject matter in original series by Yuki Kaori
Disclaimer:	Angel Sanctuary and its characters are all the creation of and (c) to the talented Yuki Kaori. I claim ownership of none of them. "Orpheus' Cry" is a fanfiction (c) Hanashiro, Shun'u, 2001.
Spoiler Note:	Not really necessary to know the entire series to read this fanfic because it's alternate universe anyhow. However, I've used a mix of the OVA and the manga, so you might find bits confusing if you don't know that it is not Katan who deals the deathblow to Sara in the manga.

Prologue: Savior of the Damned

Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned.

"Why? Why did you do it?"

I failed in my sworn duty to the one who raised me from life as a lowly Grigore. I betrayed him by stopping him.

"Do you not love me most, Katan?"

I love him. I love him because he is my salvation.

"Am I not most beautiful?"

I love him because he is beautiful.

"Am I not deserving of your love?"

I love him because he deserves love.

"I'm sorry, Katan. I have hurt you when you only did what you felt was best for me."

My love is not enough for one who holds God's greatest love.

"But you understand, don't you?"

He has everyone's love and adoration.

"I can't let anyone get between me and Oneesama."

But hers...

[End Prologue]
