Eren opened his eyes to what he could simply describe as, light. He blinked a few times, unable to comprehend where he was. Eren groaned slightly as he sat up, but due to his demonic powers all of his injuries were mainly healed already. He looked around,'What happened?' Eren could tell he was in a dungeon, but he had no idea where and why. The room was small, clean, and extremely bright for some reason, completely unlike the dim brightness they had in the underworld. The light was so bright that it hurt his eyes slightly until he got used to it.
The small bed that he was lying on was the only furniture that adorned the room along with the bars that trapped him in the room if they could be thought of as furniture. He frowned, was he here so that he could be inspected by whoever might be curious enough. Eren sighed as he remembered the short archangel. 'What was an archangel doing there? There was no way I had a chance against him, I could barely even fight a cherub!'
Just like in the demon world angels had ranks, as far as they knew there were only three archangels that lived in heaven. Unlike an anarchy like the demons had due to magic, angels were ranked by the size of their wings. God, was the highest rank with there only being one, kinda like Lord Mephisto. No one really knew what either looked like, but if you did that just meant you had a high status. Archangels were the next rank, they were angels with the snow white feathers on their large wings that reached to the ground. The third rank was just being an average angel, their wings were large enough that they had speed and were hard to fight. Finally, the cherubs, they were angels equivalent to that of a minor demon. Cherubs had small wings and somewhat smaller statures, but other than that they were about the same as a normal angel.
Eren sighed,'How the heck did I manage to get beat up by one of the rarest angels possible. There's literally only three!' He watched in surprise as an angel slowly flew down outside of his cell. Eren blinked,'Wait, am I in heaven?' The angel had short blond hair that complimented his feminine features. He had large blue eyes that sparkled with interest in the demon before him.
"Hello, my name is Armin Arlert. As you can see, you're currently in heaven. The results of your trial have been listed, and I'm here to tell you the sentence for your sin." Eren stared at him in surprise,"Trial?" The blond nodded,"Yes, after Levi-heichou brought you back, you had a trial to sentence you for you sin. Afterwards you were put in this cell and have been asleep since." Eren looked at him questioningly,"I wasn't even conscious at the time! How could I possibly defend myself?!" Armin shook his head," You were conscious. I have your statement here,' I , d-don't care. I need - ' was what you said before you lost consciousness. The court then decided that your punishment for your sin, is to be banished from the underworld and to live here in the heavens so that we can learn of your species. You of course will be put to work and possibly tested depending on Hanji-san's mood."
"What?! How can you do that to me?!" Armin frowned,"Please contain your temper, or you shall be punished with holy water." Eren's eyes widened in fear,'That stuff could burn my skin.' He sighed,"How am I going to work? I'm a demon, I don't have wings!"
"I have been assigned to take you to and from the places. The buildings are stable enough in the clouds that a demon like you could work, and you don't need to have the ability to fly to clean the floors." Eren grit his teeth, he was completely at their mercy. 'Could my mission have possibly gone any worse?'
"Why am I alive? I'm a demon for goodness sake!" Armin smiled,"Levi-heichou was intrigued by your eyes! Apparently, there aren't many green eyed demons. So, since you were rare he took you back here. Angels don't have green eyes either, generally they're blue or a brown. Green eyes are, a very human characteristic," he said quietly. Eren frowned, he always hated being different. He sighed, in this case being different saved his life. "When do I start work? I'm still very sore from getting beat up," he lied.
"Due to Levi-heichou's orders you have to work anyways. It says here that anything a demon says should not be listened to. I'm here to take you there in a little bit, you're assigned to cleaning the angel's barracks." Armin tapped his clipboard that had his orders on it to emphasize that he was looking straight at them. "Um, please do not attempt anything bad or unnecessary, the angels have orders to execute you in case anything bad happens." Eren rolled his eyes,"I thought angels were supposed to be gullible, and kind." Armin shrugged,"Levi-heichou has had a lot of experience dealing with demons. In fact, he's killed the most demons out of any of us! He truly is amazing!" Eren glared at Armin,'Those were my people! My family!' He bit his lip in an attempt to control his anger, and turned his attention to the corner of the wall, suddenly finding it very fascinating.
Armin swallowed, he really had to watch his mouth. He didn't mean to make the demon mad by his statement,"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to anger you." Eren simply ignored him before he got off of the bed he was sitting on and walked over to the smaller angel.
"Let's just get this over with. I'm tired and want to get all of this crap done." Armin nodded and took shackles out of his back pocket before he unlocked the door to the cell. He opened the door and looked at Eren,"Stick out your hands," he commanded. Eren rolled his eyes but stuck them out anyways, he had to be obedient before he could figure out a way to escape. Armin quickly closed the shackles around Eren's wrists and wrapped his arms around his waist and flew them into the air. Eren was left clinging tightly to the blond haired angel, the blond certainly didn't look strong and he would definitely die if he dropped him.
Armin flew around several minutes, slight nervous by the curious stares he was attracting due to the demon in his arms. He smiled when he saw the grand building that stood proudly on the large cloud that held it in the sky. Eren sighed in relief as he was lightly set down onto the floor of the building. He looked up at Armin who was still flying in the air,"I have to inform Levi-heichou of our presence in the building. The barracks are down the hall to the left." Eren watched Armin fly away before he walked down the hall catching the attention of every angel who saw him. 'I'm definitely not looking forward to this.'
