Chapter 1- The Beginning of Endings
Narrator POV
The final battle has been fought.
The end of the Third Holy War.
We, the angels, the demons, the humans,
We have all seen the consequences.
We saw our loved ones die by our enemies' hands.
Everywhere we went,
Blood, chaos, madness… it was everywhere.
No one could stop it. But one person could.
The Messiah, Mudou Setsuna.
The reincarnation of the Organic Angel Alexiel,
Who went against God, who was then sealed in an "Angel Crystal",
While her soul was to be continuously reincarnated,
With pain and sorrow in her every birth,
The punishment inflicted on her by the Archangel Uriel,
Who loved her deeply, more than he loved God.
But now, our God does not exist.
Time has gone back,
Assiah is safe,
But yet, will we ever be able to erase the number of casualties on our hands?
Better yet, will we never see a repeat of this war that tore three timelines apart?
That remains to be seen…

The final slash into the neck of "God",
It was all over.
Fate was now for the humans to decide,
Not God any more.
It was all over.
People over the Earth cheered.
The angels in heaven wept and screamed in both hatred and relief.
The demons roared their victory and losses.
The Anima Mundi wept for the losses, their victory.
Adam Kadamon was now the highest ranking angel.
He had not completely disappeared, and now ruled over heaven.
His light marked the dawn of a new century.

Ruins of Eden
The light shone brightly.
But it wasn't enough to brighten the young woman's heart.
It was filled with sadness, and pain.
Over the years she had slept,
She had felt the pain of every living thing in the world.
She wanted to cry,
To scream.
To escape from the realities of life.
Alexiel, Organic Angel, now turned her head to face her father, Adam Kadamon. Sad eyes met kind ones. Neither spoke for a long time. Alexiel's crystalline blue eyes met her father's colourless ones. Her eyes spoke volumes, tears forming, already threatening to spill. Adam Kadamon looked at his daughter, his creation. Of all the angels he had "birthed", his favorite child was her. He knew she would be cursed from the time she was born, for she was an angel with no defects. She was pure, holy. She was the Organic Angel, the only angel that could re- grow organic materials lost. Yet, her existence was cursed, for women were deemed filthy, and a taint on the holy paradise. But while some would stand up for their rights, like Gabriel, the only female Archangel, others would cower and believe women was the weaker among the genders. But that did not stop Alexiel from proudly showing her rank as the Organic Angel. Men who tried to stop her fell under her charms, her beauty. She was as deadly as she was beautiful, like the rose.
"Please." Adam Kadamon found himself unable to bring out her request. He reached out one hand. Alexiel shook her head and stepped back. "I had enough. Rosiel…its all over…I've already paid my debt…please, father. We made that promise years back. Long before I was imprisoned, we promised that when the time came, you would set me free. Honor it, father. I don't want to kill anymore. I want to be free…" Her words cut him deeply. "Honor it I will, my dear child…don't cry…I want you to leave with a smile on your face…" The crystalline eyes widened with joy. Tears spilled freely. "Is there…is there anything you wish for me to keep? Father?" It wasn't so hard to remember the young girl with flowing brown hair after all.
"You know what the price was when you made this choice, didn't you?"
"Yes. I'm not afraid. I want to start a new life."
"Even of Rosiel…?"
"He does not need me; Katan will guide him and love him."
"What of them?"
"He has his servants to guide him. He has his friends around him."
Adam Kadamon looked at the headstrong Alexiel, who was already starting to succumb. She was still linked to Eden in every way, and she could feel the pain of the nature. The faster he acted, the lesser her pain.
"Sleep now my daughter…you will not be yourself anymore…but I will watch you from the very place where I am now…so…"
Alexiel's eyes shut, with them gone the azure blue irises, her body glowing softly…
I cannot give you the balm to all your pain and suffering you had to endure over the centuries, but if I could control your fate, I would give you the best that I can offer…
So for now…oyasuminasai…

Assiah- Japan
A single cry, and a wail. Proud parents looked at the young bundle of joy in their arms. "It's a girl. She's so beautiful…"
"Sorry to interrupt your moment…but the name…?'
"Um…her eyes are a striking blue like yours, Emily, so…"
"Azure? No…that sounds weird…how about…Aerial?"
"Aerial it is then."
"Well then, congrats to both of you, Mr and Mrs Takashi. Welcome to the world, Aerial Takashi."
All this while, no one noticed the star that seemed to shine ever so brightly.

AN: Well…that's all for now…I just read it, and I hope it doesn't look stupid…this is my ever first AS fic so…well, in the first part is that Alexiel didn't want to stay an angel anymore, she had enough. I forgot which book was it, but I think I remember clearly Alexiel did say she wished to become a normal human…this inspired me to write this story…also thanks part to Lucifael's Bride san…her comment also inspired me to write this story…so thanks a lot!
Oh yes, if you were wondering about the him and his, no it isn't Setsuna, its actually referring to #coughLucifercough# and #coughUrielcough#. I think at the ending part you can roughly guess who the baby is, and as the request…I'm not giving any clues yet what the whole request was about happy guessing I'm not really sure how far this will head, but you can be assured I have a few ideas flying around…oh yes, updates won't be frequent, but I'll do my very best!
Anyway, pls read and review, and be gentle on the flames. Its not nice to play with fire too much, you know?
