Sanctuary

Prelude of Light: Part I

Everyone has a part in the world. Some play a part in the world that even they do not understand. Some are there to rule, to love or even hate. Some are there to just be in existence, to just live. But some are here to be something greater than even they know. That is our world's tragedy. The ability to be part of bliss. If you look outside a window and just watch people...You see that they walk along the concrete with little knowledge of life. They do not see what is around them. That there is more to their life. They do not see us.

It is too often that you find yourself losing your soul on the road of darkness...

Prelude of Light: Part II

The day had finally come as the sun started to rise over the clouds. It wasn't long before the shadows started to disappear that two figures came forth from them. The two females were coming through the courtyard as they headed onto their mission. One of the angels held herself high, long blonde curly hair and the other seemed to be the opposite. She had the darkest hair one could have, the dark ash kind. She was lying in the grass as she enjoyed the breeze, just sliding into the wonders of sleep. Just at the moment when a dream becomes your reality and your body goes into its cycle. The blonde haired woman stopped beside the woman lying in the grass, pulling something from her side. She held a silver dagger that had gold spiral wiring. The blade was almost a silvery white, catching the rays from the sun.

She stared down at the sleeping woman before she knelled beside her, hovering the point above her chest. Just above her heart, that would do just fine. The world was about to end for one human. It was sad that one had to be sacrificed, but for the world to heal...It would have to be done. The world was full of evil, but with the darkness there was light. This was true of all things. She would have compassion in her death. She was asleep and would hardly feel the pain. It would all be a short nightmare. Just another dream.

"Forgive me. For you do you deserve this, but…It must be done."

She gave the woman her last smile before she plunged the knife into her heart. You could hear the puncturing sound that was followed by a sleepless gasp. The blonde haired woman stayed there, watching the woman until she could no longer breathe. The breath and her heart had gone but her soul would never leave. She pulled her knife from the body as she moved to her feet. She had hardly noticed the blood that had found its way to her dress. She looked down at it for a moment before moving to smooth it out. It was just blood. It would wash out as would all sins. She tucked her knife away before making her way back into the castle. It would not be a very good day today. It had only begun.

Prelude of Light: Part II

The blonde haired woman knew she must return to the scene where she last left the other woman. She had wanted to leave her there for someone to find her. Not just anyone, but someone. She wanted him to see her so he would know that there was nothing left in his world. So that in time he would realize what he had to do. He would come to see that what she did was necessary. He would soon see. It was his Destiny. She moved to tuck some of her hair behind her ear as she stepped into the sunlight. She turned her head towards the body in the courtyard, seeing that he had arrived. He was dressed much like his normal self. Normal. When would he realize that he was far from it? She would help him. After all it was her duty as his sister.

The man turned around as he held the dead woman in his hand, blood stained everywhere.

"ANGIE! How could you that?" He asked her as it was a mixture of sobbing and anger. "She's my wife..." He could barely make the words come out as the realization that she was dead came to him. His head tucked against her as it stayed for a few moments. "You're my SISTER?" He lifted his head towards her direction; his eyes were on fire with anger. She could tell he was getting far worse than before. So much anger. It wouldn't be long.

Angie stared at him, small little creases in her face from seeing him. She could tell he was in pain, so much pain. She could feel her armor crumbling inside her. She did not want it to come to this. She realized what he felt and she had shared his pain one before. It was unbearable. He had lost the very thing that he valued most. And for that she had to do it. She wasn't the human for him. She was what very thing that held him back. She was holding him back from becoming who he was destined to be. Holding up progress.

"Sometimes Joshua..." She stared at him with a sad face, one with compassion." We must lose the things we value most to realize who we really are. Pain is a horrible thing to endure, but in that time. We realize who we really are. We decide how much we can handle before we break. You will see the error of your ways. Soon, You will see." She told him as she had such comfort in her voice. She stood in her place before moving to stand next to him. She put a hand against his shoulder before speaking." You don't need to worry. It won't be long." She rubbed his shoulder a little as she let him wallow.

What she would have to do next, well it was not something she wished to ever do. Ever do again. She pulled his shoulder back from her as she dug the knife into his chest. She had punctured part of his heart. She knelt beside him as she turned his face towards her. " I am sorry." She stared at him as he clinched his jaw. The pain was radiating up his shoulder. He was looking at her with a mix of emotions. Confusion, betrayal, misunderstand. He would never have trust in her again. He could not understand why she was doing this. Why? She pulled the knife out of his chest, hearing a small grunt come from him when she did. His body started to become weak, falling towards the ground.

She moved over him, stroking his cheek when she moved over him." I've finally found a way to free you. All this pain that we feel. Humans, Angels, all creatures of life. You can heal them. You just have to remember..." She looked at him as she gave him a small smile of comfort. She started whispering to him," You will heal this world and make it whole again. Then maybe you will forgive me for what I've done. You will know that I had to do what must be done. " She paused for a moment as he started gasping from the pain, blood coming from the corners of his mouth. "Please forgive me." She asked him with remorse and urgency. She tried her best to hold her tears, but she couldn't when she saw him helpless. He was dying. No. It wouldn't be long. "Please forgive me." she moved to stroke his hair as she continued, staring down at him." You could not see what was right in front of you. So now I must do it for you." She could feel his face starting to lose it's life. His color was leaving and so was his warmth. She leaned up to kiss his head as she spoke." We will see each other again."

For in this world all would be subject to death and be born again. This was the way of Fate.
