It was a normal day. The forest covering most of Ivan's territory was quiet around a pond of clear water, which was covered with flowers floating at its surface. The only thing that wasn't normal was the presence of an angel on the demon's territory. This intruder was trapped in the middle of the pond, black strings tangled around his pure white wings and thin arms. The angel sighed and played with the water, kicking it gently.
Ivan was patrolling the area, he had to be careful due to some recent events. He heard the noise of water and turned his head, listening. He decided to go check the source of the noise, since it could be anything from an animal to an enemy.
The captive angel picked up a flower from the ones floating on the water and looked at it, his face showing no emotion. He then put the flower back in the pond and looked at the sky with a longing look in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Ivan had reached the pond and was behind a tree on the right. "An angel ?..."
Said angel opened his wings, but as soon as he tried to fly the black strings tightened around his wings and arms, and he yelped in pain "o-ow s-stop"
Ivan was still watching and wondered what to do with that angel, since he could have come as an enemy "He fell into a trap... Should I kill him..."
The strings loosened when the prisoner stopped struggling, and he rubbed his wings "If this keeps up it'll cut off my wings and arms~" He then started to wash off the blood.
Ivan stepped closer, deciding he would choose what to do with him after talking to him. He walked to the water as the angel continued to wash his wings. When he was close, Alfred finally looked up and saw him "Oh..."
Ivan stared at him, his demon tail swaying slowly as he judged the angel, who tilted his head "... hello" Ivan finally aswered "...Hello... It seems you are trapped on a demon's territory, da ?" "...Yeah" The shorter one's voice sounded like it hadn't been used in a while.
Ivan continued to stare at him, a bit tense since he didn't know if he should be mefious or if the other was harmless. "..." The latter just stared back, sitting on a crystal-like rock that standed in the middle of the pond "Is this your territory ?" The demon nodded "It is..." "You've been gone for a while then, or you just got it because it was a different demon that made me his trophy" Ivan raised an eyebrow "An intruder ?... Do you know where they are ?" Alfred nodded "He's sleeping in that cave over there" The demon looked at said cave "What does he look like ?" "Like you, but different colors" At that comment Ivan growled, knowing exactly who it was "Not him again..." He then walked to the cave.
When Ivan left, Alfred went back to washing his wings. But the small cave suddently exploded and the two demons appeared, fighting, the darker one being injuried. The angel jumped at the noise and hid behind the crystal rock, while the demons continued to fight without paying attention to him. Alfred watched, wondering why they were fighting since he thought they were brothers, due to their similar appearances. Ivan clawed at the other, who was his "2p" Victor, and made him bleed. The latter growled "You're supposed to be dead !" "And you're not supposed to be here." Ivan replied, his tail swaying angrily. "Heh, what ? you don't like what I've done to the place ?" Victor was smirking "This is my territory !" Ivan punched his smirk off "Not anymore" The other demon attacked too.
They continued to fight, both getting hurt, but Ivan had the advantage since he surprised Victor in his sleep. The darker demon flied to Alfred, who as some angels do had healing powers. "Quickly heal me !" But Alfred stayed silent and unmoving. Ivan took part of his enemy's distraction and tackled him before biting his arm savagely, even tearing a chunk of flesh off. This made Victor yelp and growl more. At this moment the angel healed Ivan instead of Victor, who hit him accross the face for this, sending him back "You damn angel" But he didn't get the chance to focus on Alfred anymore, since the lighter demon twisted and broke his arm, making him yelp and fly away. "Damn you both !"
Alfred sat up in the water then rubbed his cheek, and Ivan walked closer. "Thanks for the help. Are you okay ?" The other nodded "I'll be fine... I'm used to it" The demon clapped his hands and the black strings trapping the angel disappeared. "You helped me, I won't keep you here" Alfred looked at his arms and wings "Y-You're really going to let me go ?" His eyes brightened up. "Even demons can be thankful." "Thank you so much !" The now free angel smiled brightly and hugged Ivan before pulling back and flying away. Ivan blinked in surprise and watched him leave. "...A hug ?..."
