The Deepest Fall

A dying heart of faltering light

Broken, feeble, once powerful wings

Spiralling downwards, shedding feathers like snow

The speed of a comet, struck down from glory by some unspeakable sin

Golden blood flowing through the fingers of one too wounded too stop it

Twisted and buffeted by the eddies of winds seeking to tear apart one who had aspired to become a god

The sin changing him which was once as beautiful as the loyal ones grouped in His shadow

The white feathers having broken free of one no longer holy enough to wear them, beginning to grow back black as the twilight through which they fell

The changing body looking at the world with new eyes for those brief moments, brow heavy with magnificent horns edged with a dying spark ready to burst into flame

The eyes suddenly burning with new strength and purpose struggled desperately to break free of His hand, forcing him down towards those who had broken the Law that was weaved into their very being

With an demonic shriek the Betrayer was forced down through the Earth as with so many others of his brethren

Bursting through to his prison a roar poured from his throat

A roar echoed by the Legion
