Evil Angel
I know you may find it hard to believe, Lord Rosiel, but no matter what, I still believe in you, no matter how dangerous that may turn out to be in the end.
You have done horrible things in the past. I may have unleashed the monster who could destroy all of Heaven.
At least, that's how the others see you.
Sometimes I feel as though I'm the only one who knows the true Lord Rosiel. My heart aches a pain like none other when I think of how your gentle, compassionate personality has been torn apart by your own insanity and misery.
I may not be right. I may not know all the answers, like the Creator or the Messiah do. All I know is my own answer. I care about you more than anyone else, and I will see this through to the bitter end.
You can't just leave me, Lord Rosiel. I can't live, I can't breathe, I can't exist without you. Ever since you first showed me kindness—a body of my own—I have always loved you. Not in a romantic sense, but in a sense of gratitude, a sense of compassion. You saved me, and now all I can seem to hear is you crying in pain. I feel it is time for me to return the compassion you showed me.
You have to open your beautiful wings, my Lord. The wings that make you an angel. If you can do that, you may just be able to escape your tragic destiny. Please... Break free! Break free so the two of us can go back to that innocent time.
Some would say I'm a fool to continue serving you after everything that has happened and what you've done to me, as well as the insanity that is seemingly consuming you. But I don't think I am.
In a world of lies and hatred, I only want to be loyal to you forever, no matter what might happen.
You are much too fragile for this world of hatred and pain. Even more reason for me to save you. You cannot last much longer.
Sooner or later, the kind Lord Rosiel who saved me all those years ago will cease to exist—and only a true monster will remain.
That's why I struggle to get closer to you, even when you push me away. "Let me help you, my Lord!" I cry.
I know you don't mean what you're saying, Lord Rosiel! The Creator is the one who has gone mad! This isn't you! The Lord Rosiel I knew cared for me! This isn't you! Spread your wings and fly free!
Behind me, I can hear the Messiah's voice telling me to back off—that it's not safe here. Lord Rosiel has finally lost his mind. He might even turn against me if I get any closer. But I just can't stop steadily stepping foreword, gentle words of reassurance pouring from my mouth.
Am I really going to die here? is my first thought as I struggle towards my master, who now looks pathetic in his current state. He is no longer the evil angel that almost destroyed Heaven. He is not naught but a scared child. A scared child that I long to embrace gently and assure that all will be okay in the end.
"No... Lord Rosiel, please don't listen to him. Listen... focus on my voice. Let's go back to that time..." I whisper, extending my hand to my master. In that moment, not even God himself matters.
Pain. Blinding white pain.
Why can't I breathe, Lord Rosiel?
And above it all, I can hear the Creator's laugh.
