Read the A/N.

Many years ago, eons before the dawn of men, Angels and Demons roamed heaven and hell. Most Angels stayed in heaven, and most Demons stayed in hell; that is until men were created by God. Angels were sent to 'Earth' to keep the peace, Demons were sent to 'Earth' to keep things… interesting. This would be the first time that Angels laid eyes on Demons.

Most Angels were repulsed by the Demons, mostly because the energy that the lower level demons gave off, was full of nothing but deceit, hate, lust, anger, and just plain evil. The lower level demons were nothing more than mongrels, they were not pretty to look at. They didn't even have a body that looked humanoid, they looked more like creatures that had too long of limbs. Depending on how low the level a demon was, determined if they could walk on two legs or had to walk on all fours or if they had a body at all (they could have just been nothing more than evil spirits). Their teeth were sharp, and their claws were horrendous. Although only the worse of the worse were lower level demons. The higher the level the demons were, the more their energy was tolerable. They started to look "normal". These were the demons that were right-hand men to the king of hell, himself; they had horns, beautiful black and grey wings, the color of night, and a tail that was pointed at the end. These demons had some sense, albeit a different kind of sense than Angels, they did not act on instinct alone. These were the demons they sent to Earth, used for deceit and jest.

Angels were beautiful creatures. Most were dressed in white, the lower level Angels were dressed in silver. They wore, either a toga (dress…let's face it, it's a dress) or pants and a really dressy shirt. Lower level Angels were guardians (although most Angels don't like to move up the ranks because they love being guardians), higher level Angels had to

in heaven. Lower level Angels had white wings, which were beautiful, they looked like the color of a snowy morning. Higher level Angels had wings that were a mix of sterling silver colored feathers, pure white feathers, and some higher levels even had gold color feathers; these wings were the softest wings in the universe, as soft as a fuzzy kitten. These Angels (Higher levels) were rarely allowed to go to "Earth" because 'heaven needs their very best up top!' Everyone knew the truth, though, as to why higher level angels stayed on top, they (like the higher level demons) didn't follow God or Satan blindly; they had reached a state of mind in which they took all sides into account. Basically they weren't perfect, but they were the closest to perfect that a being could get. (Like the Demons) They didn't act on instinct alone, either.

When Angels first met Demons, God and Lucifer didn't think anything of it. That is until wars broke out between Angels and Demons, then a secret that was hidden from Heaven and Hell came to light. Demons had mated with Angels and vice versa. During wars, most of the soldiers, from both sides, came back devastated at the loss of their mate. The people who survived often spent their eternity lost in sadness, or if they were lucky God would let them live out their lives as guardians. It was now, more than ever, that God became strict on not letting his higher level angels go to Earth.

Mateless, is the term (mostly) for Angels who had lost their mates. Angels can only mate once in their lives, Demons can mate for as many times as they need to, meaning that if their mates had died they can find another mate, but they could not mate for more than one time; so if their mate was still alive they could not have another mate. Although most demons choose to remain Mateless as (yes, shockingly) some demons (meaning not lower level) have feelings, and they feel as if they would have betrayed their one mate if they were with anyone else.

After the wars had ended God and Satan both forbid the act of Mating by Angels and Demons. God and Satan figured it would be best to keep Angels away from Demons to prevent this from happening.

The only way an Angel and Demon could be together is if an Angel falls…or a Demon rises. The process for a fallen Angel is fairly quick, the process for a demon rising…not so much. Not surprisingly, not many Angels fell (mostly due to the rumor that they would be put through agonizing pain, if they did) and most Demons did not rise.

This was the balance between Angels and Demons.
