The Demonic Angel
Most of us think that there is only one world in which intelligent beings reside and that world is the one in which we dwell. However, this is false. There are two realms, one above our heads and one below our feet. These realms are commonly referred to in religion and fable as Heaven and Hell. For eons, God and his angels of Heaven have constantly fought off the Devil and his demons of Hell. It is a never ending battle for supremacy and dominance of the middle realm, our world. The angels are always on the alert, ready to fight if they must, while the demons are always plotting ways to breach the gates and take Heaven by storm. Now in present time, this heated rivalry continues but the birth of one very special child just might turn the tide.
Christine, a lovely blue hedgehog with a kind face, was tending to one of Heaven's many gardens when she heard the sound of the summoning bell. She spread her pure white wings and flew to the Central Plaza. Other angels made room for her as she landed gracefully towards the front of the gathering crowd. Looking around, Christine realized that every single angel in Heaven was there; even a few on-duty guardian angels were present. Something big must be happening. Perhaps it has to do with the very unusual child that is about to be born in the Middle Realm. thought Christine. Being immortal, the angels could see everything going on in the Middle Realm. Recently, talk of a child with an incredible gift was spreading like wildfire around Heaven. This child was to be born quite soon. It was an event that all of the angels awaited eagerly for they all were intensely curious about who the child's guardian angel would be.
At last the summoning bell ceased to ring as Saint Michael the Archangel descended from a shaft of sunlight, his golden wings spread wide. He landed on a raised platform before the crowd of assembled angels and folded his wings. St. Michael raised his arms and said in a strong, clear voice that was heard by all, "Angels of Heaven, loyal followers of God, I have summoned you here to pass on what our Lord has told me. We have all heard of the gifted child whose life will soon begin in the Middle Realm. Little escapes our immortal eyes. However, the forces of Hell are just as watchful. They too know of the child. Now we have seen several gifted mortals from these clouds. But this one is truly special. He will not only be able to see dwellers of Heaven and Hell, he shall be able to find and operate the portals that we immortals use to travel between realms." A gasp spread through the crowd. "This obviously makes the child a major target for the Devil and his forces. So, in turn, this child requires a guardian of the highest caliber. Our Lord Jesus has told me to pick among our finest angels. Christine, will you please step forward." Christine stood where she was in a state of shock. Had St. Michael the Archangel really just called her name? Someone gave Christine a nudge forward. She turned to see her good friend Margret, a gorgeous yellow cat, smile and wave her on.
Bowing her head in modesty, Christine ascended onto the stage and stood before St. Michael. He rested a hand on her shoulder and said, "Christine, you are an angel who has earned her halo a thousand times over. You are currently being considered for a promotion to become an archangel, which is a title given only to the most devote and loyal. You are well versed in water, wind, and light casting and a master at repelling demon magic. All of the mortals that you have been assigned to in the past have lived their lives from beginning to end under your watchful eye. It is with great pleasure, that I declare you to be the gifted child's guardian angel!" The crowd went wild with applause and cheering as St. Michael presented Christine with a Connection Cross. She gingerly took the magical object in her hands and held it in the air for all to see. A Connection Cross is a special ornamental cross with a large, clear gem in the middle. The gem allowed a guardian angel to see exactly where their mortal was and what they were doing at any given time. In addition, the cross glowed whenever a guardian's mortal was in danger. Christine stepped down from the stage as the summoning bell rang twice, thus signaling the crowd to disperse.
Author's Note: Well sorry it took so long but here's the first chapter of my new story. If you can't already tell, I've made up my own little world and placed Sonic characters in it (the first actual Sonic character will appear in the next chapter). This story contains quite a few religious elements since it's all about angels and demons and stuff. If the content offends anyone, you have my most sincere apologies. Also, if you see something I got wrong, feel free to correct me in a review. This story is way longer so the chapters will come out slower but be patient please. Thanks!
