Chapter 1: Angels and Giants
What are angels?
Are they beings of celestial power? Deemed by God and sent down to earth to aid the fallen humans. To fight against the frightful powers of Satan. Are they God's army?
What do they look like?
The Holy Bible does not fully describe their appearance. In the past, it states, that they appeared to us Man in a form that would not overwhelm us. Does that mean their true form is frightening? Or so beautiful it is too much for the naked eye to grasp? I don't believe God would create an ugly creature…but then there is Satan. Lucifer is his first name, according to the Bible. Lucifer was once an angel, but he fell. Not that he fell, but decided to fall. He made the decision to oppose God, he was certain that he was more powerful than the Almighty God, and had opposed him. The reason from his banishment from heaven and the constant battle between Satan and God.
But back to my question.
What do angels look like?
Do they have the great white wings that resembles a dove's wings? Like society has put into our concept of an Angel. Or maybe they don't have wings and they're all glowy and such. Do they even look like man? Resemble man?
The bible states, that Man were created in the image God. So that means angels do not resemble humans. That somewhat answers my question.
Another fact I must put forth. Satan, Lucifer, was not the only Angel that fell from God's path.
Have you ever heard the term Giant?
In actuality, they were born from Angels who took Earthly women as their wives and had children. I would like to believe that the women seduced the Angel, making it fall from God's path. However, I, myself cannot say what is so.
Anyway, these children that was born from the Angel and Human parent was very different. A new species was born. The Giants. Nephilim, meaning fallen one. Rephaim, the Hebrew word meaning fearful one, or one who brings discouragement. Both words are another term for giants.
So are there apparently anymore Giants? There aren't. God had disposed of them thousands of years ago. In the time of Noah, y'know the story Noah's Ark? God had flooded the entire earth and only Noah and his family were prepared and able to survive thanks to the mercy of God. In God's eyes, Noah and his family were the only righteous and non-perverse humans in the whole of earth, and he wanted to spare them. He didn't want Satan's plan to succeed in polluting mankind with evil and darkness. Research about it if you must.
Why were the Giants killed? Because the invasion or population of Giants was Satan's attempt to "Mongrelize" the human race. Creating something God had not intended. The flooding of course was a redemptive plan to clean the earth and the Human race from such filth in our hearts and bodies. After all how could the Messiah, who was sent many years later, save humanity, when humanity was not completely Human?
Excuse me, you might seemed to have noticed I'm quite interested in Angels, and Giants. It's one of the reasons why I entered True Cross Academy. To study angels. As well as becoming an Exorcist, and becoming of any help to put away with demon or any foil of Satan. But mostly, I'm just in it for the angels,
My name is Amaterasu Sakurai. Amaterasu meaning "Who illuminates heaven," and Sakurai which means "Well of the Cherry Blossom."
A very beautiful name right? It somehow makes me feel like the character of a manga or something. I prefer it if people just call me Ame, I secretly enjoy Ame-chan, but alas, only three people have ever called me Ame or Ame-chan.
As for my looks, its nothing heavenly. I have ordinary black hair, long and straight, down to the middle of my back. I'm quite taller than most girls, I remember when I was in the 4th grade, the boys had called me giant because I was taller than everyone, I gave them a long lecture about giants and their origins. I didn't really make friends.
My eyes are a very dark brown, sometimes, I would love to believe, turn black when I become excited. It's a small fantasy.
My skin is very pale white, even though I tend to work outside numerous times due to missions. Oh yes, I forgot to mention that. I'm no longer a student I graduated a while ago at a young age, right now I'm sixteen years old. I started the academy when I was eight years old. I would have graduated at fifteen, but certain circumstances took place. I believe my intelligence is what is most redeeming about my personality. Which is quite nasty and strange at times. I became a Middle First Class Exorcist. The ordinary kind. I acquired two Meister abilities, one as a an Aria and the other as a Knight. I was more interested in being an Aria because I tend to be more of a bookworm and I love to research, especially through the bible.
After all I was brought up in a catholic church, my mother had passed away at a young age, and the Nuns in the Abbey raised, the whereabouts of my father were unknown. As I had learned my mother was a strong woman of faith, and had considered becoming a Nun, thank goodness she didn't I might never had been born.
Wait, I got side-tracked, back to my looks, I'm quite conceited aren't I? As I had said before I'm quite tall, with long black hair and dark-brown eyes, accompanied with pale skin…I sound like a ghost don't I.
As for my personality. I'm quite the giddy and happy person…on the inside. People tend to avoid me, saying I look like I would punch anyone who disturbed me. I'm sorry that I tend to frown a lot. I find it impossible to walk around smiling all day, its tiring unless there's a reason to smile. It all comes down to reason.
Like the reason I entered True Cross academy.
The reason I refused to become a Nun.
The reason I feel estranged for feeling for my mother.
The reason only three people have ever called me Ame or Ame-chan.
The reason why I am obsessed with books.
With Angels.
Giants.
Heaven.
Ah! That sounded way too deep to finish off my entry. I remember one of my childhood friends (one who called me Ame-chan) had told me I am quite a happy person. I'm content with the littlest of things and don't bother for too much.
I just reply by saying with a tone that to others sound like I could care less, "That's called having a Low Need to achieve Okumura-san."
Maybe I do have a low need to achieve. I'm happy with whatever I can grasp. After all most of my life was on the pessimistic side of the coin…weird metaphor but let's go with it.
Speaking of which, I wonder when will be the next time I meet with Okumura-San. I haven't seen him in a while.
Hey! Hey! This is Sugar-Induced-Duck who is trying to blow off some imagination steam! I have certainly gotten into Ao No Exorcist series (Blue exorcist) I remember I was reading a Shonen Jump magazine, and read the first chapter I got so excited that I read the rest so far Online, then two weeks later the anime series had launched and trust me I looked like an extreme Hot Mess!
I dunno who's my favorite Rin or Yukio...Amaimon or Mephisto...Suguro or Shima! EEEk! Jk anywho if you would want me to continue this story then pls leave me a review and I'll post the next chappie. Ame-Chan is sorta based of me, except for the fact that I'm black and my name is not Ame. Teehee. Yes and graduated from Highschool this year too! At the age of 16! Woot! Sorry I didn't get into Harvard! xP
P.S! I am not a Catholic person. I just do alot of rsearch myself. I am christian, just not Catholic! This is just a work of fiction. Am not getting into the Bible. this will probably be the only chapter talking so deeply about the Bible. My character was raised Catholic but this is the Blue Exorcist world. Not normal Reality so pls bear with me!
Pls Review!
