Nightmares (or the modern Prometheus) Frankenstein rocks.
Chapter 13Bliss. That is all Erik could describe it as…a never-ending bliss. The plan was in action nearly 200 years of preparation and the goal would soon be achieved. Erik looked down at his wife who was currently laying sprawled across his chest in peaceful dreams. Stage one was almost complete the changes had started with the consummation of their union. Erik let out a satisfied sigh, he hadn't been this pleased with himself since he had plagued Egypt, he thought the killing of the all the first born son's was a nice touch, and who in their right minds couldn't find the boils funny? He and Raphael and laughed about that for decades. Well by laugh meaning that Raphael and been hysterical and all Erik and done was quirked his lip in a smirk.
Just when he reached that thought Christine stirred, stretching luxuriously and snuggling deeper into his embrace. She placed her head to rest on the crook in his shoulder and started absentmindedly playing with his chest hair. Erik smirked at this and stoked her silky curls and asked:
"How do you feel this morning my wife?"
There was a pause before Christine answered "…. Different…I feel different"
"How?" he coaxed gently.
"I….I feel like part of me has been found again!" with a sudden burst of energy she shifter her self so she was lying on top of Erik.
"I feel a thousand emotions at once! Like I've seen kingdoms through ages rise and fall….I've seen it all! Seen the horrors and the wonders happening right in front of my eyes! ….Like I could fly…" she stopped as if in contemplation. What she didn't know is that she wasn't that far from the truth. Erik decided to cut in on her contemplation before she reached too many answers.
"We are soul joined Christine, you are most likely seeing images from my past…do not let these things worry you just enjoy this moment in time, memories are nice but that's all they are."
Christine looked at him and nodded seeming quite willing to go on with anything he said. Erik seemed satisfied with this response and murmured to her "It is still very early in the day my dear, you are most probably tired from staying up all night" when Erik said that Christine blushed scarlet " and I have some less…pleasurable business to tend to, rest and I will wake you later"
Christine did as she was told and let Erik get up blushing slightly as his naked form appeared from under the covers. As Erik was changing Christine noticed something on him she hadn't last night; a tattoo, this surprised her greatly Erik didn't seem the type to have a tattoo. It looked like a Chinese symbol yet it held something else in it; it was more like an ancient rune yet it was beautiful all the same. It rested on the left shoulder of his back standing out against his alabaster skin. She wondered at this but decided not to say anything, she'd ask later when Erik came back.
Once Erik finished changing he turned around and placed a kiss on Christine's lips before disappearing into the shadows. Christine sighed and flung herself back onto the bed, she then realised that there was no real reason for her to be naked if her husband wasn't there to appreciate it. Her husband….what a strange thought that at 16 she was married.
She got out of the bed retrieving a nightgown and walked into the bathroom to attain her hairbrush. Christine nearly collapsed at what she saw in the mirror, she didn't look 16 at all if she hadn't known herself she would have said she was 19 maybe 20! She was slightly taller her face more mature and less round and her skin was alabaster white setting of her dark hair perfectly. Quite scared by this revelation she turned around so as to ask Erik but wait….he wasn't there. Christine breathed deeply and reasoned with herself that maybe it wasn't a bad thing; maybe this is what happened when you got married? She didn't know no one had ever told her such things. Whatever it was it wasn't really a bad change in fact she quite liked it, reaching for her hairbrush and leaving the bathroom she failed to notice the same Tattoo that Erik had glaring ominously on her back.

At the left overs of Order headquarters
"Damage report Khan!" barked the new Chancellor DuChamp
"89 fatalities 45 wounded 34 missing including one civilian Dechangy's son and some science records and samples are missing." Replied Nadir
"What do you mean science records?" barked DuChamp.
Nadir winced before responding "We ran several tests on Miss Daaé while she was in our care, blood screenings, CAT scans etc all the samples are gone as well as the test data, however, they failed to take the back up disks and we have discovered something rather alarming." At this Nadir stopped causing the other man to become impatient and yell:
"Well out with it man!"
"We ran a chromosome check on miss Daaé to see whether her gifts were genetic…and we discovered a few things. The normal amount of Chromosomes for a human is 23 pairs, Christine had 23 pairs she was normal. We also ran several tests on the captive Nephralim Raphael he had a 46 pair chromosome count double the amount a human has."
"For god sake get on with it man!" yelled DuChamp
"Well we managed to save one vial of Christine's blood its colour used to be red but when we returned after the attack the colour was silver the same colour as Raphael's."
"Stop pausing and get on with it I have a secret organisation to run!"
"We re-did the Chromosome count and the results were conclusive Christine now has a 46 chromosome count, its as if even though the blood was separated from her it changes as she does, my only conclusion is that the blood still in Christine's body has undergone the same transformation."
DuChamp paused then look of Horror and realisation came over his features, he finally opened his mouth to speak:
"You mean that bastards turned her into an…."

"…. Angel, what are you thinking now oh glorious creator? That I could best you at your own game? I can create the blessed ones just as you can! I defy you! God the creator of Heaven and Earth of all things seen and unseen! Well it seems this isn't a one man dance anymore!"
Erik was pacing back and forth in front of an altar in a cathedral on Earth.
"I have created an Angel! Just as powerful as anything you could ever have created! Neither Ariel of Asiel can ever be compared to her beauty or the Choirs of seraphim compared to her voice! I defy the laws of the cosmos and mould a human into a celestial being! And do you know what my greatest triumph is? All of this can be traced back to you! You are to blame for all this! If you had not banished me I would not have had to resort to this, but hindsight is 20 20, but you already has that didn't you oh my omniscient one! Well the rules have changed."
Erik turned his back on the altar wings extended and whispered his final acknowledgment:
"Prepare for war…it will be your last"
