Author's Note:Thanks to Master Assassin: NullShadow for the Follow/Favourite. Now, I know you guys don't like reviewing, but I want to know what you think of our dearest Korothiel and Vea. Indulge me, pretty please ?


Korothiel

Blond-haired, green-winged Korothiel, who stood on the astral plain known as the Forest of Shadows, flared his tiny wings. The sky above him was a black abyss, this dark-silver and purple forest was the birthplace of many human nightmares. Sometimes, humans would 'disappear' when truly they had been eaten by the races known as Nightmares.

'It's amazing how weak they are. How pathetic and helpless, if it weren't for us and Father they would have destroyed themselves long ago. If only Gabriel had succeeded, most of the little shits would be dead now. The only thing worse then them are the Fallen. That asshole, Balthazar.'

He growled and patted Vea, Queen of the Nightmare Spiders, whom he had saved from the Seraph Gabriel when she was young. The giant silver spider clicked her pincers and rubbed a leg over his ruffled feathers. "That stupid bastard is going to pay for insulting me. Some how, Vea, and I don't know how, but some how he's hiding from me."

Vea replied, her eight, amethyst-eyes gleaming savagely, "I know Master and he will pay for what he has done. We will kill every Fallen who looks like him until he is dead, then we cannot miss. What if he is using a relic to hide, Master ? If you found and destroyed it, he couldn't hide anymore."

Flapped his wings as a ghostly green air current appeared over-wing, as he spiralled toward it, he called down, "Vea, you're a genius."

A soft chuckle in his mind, "I know Master, I know."

When he looked down, he saw that many amethyst-spiders with silver-eyes had appeared to say good-bye. Distracted, he nearly fell out of the current and corrected himself.

'Give me the smallest wings of the lot, eh, Father ? Think I'm not good enough for You ? Just like all the others, those idiot Seraphs don't know who their messing with. I am Highest Seraph, not them ! Always comparing me to Uriel - Uriel this, Uriel that, Uriel would have handled that better. Well, fuck their precious Uriel he's dead and he's never coming back. Now, where would an idiot like Balthazar get a relic ? Gabriel should know or I'll make her tell me.'

Minutes later, he left the Forest of Shadows for the mortal world. More specifically, for the Rose-Light Homeless Shelter and landed in the sleeping-wing.

Gabriel looked up, her wings flared impressively and the gray-eyes flashed, "What do you want, Korothiel ? Are you here to brag about how you abandoned our plans and left me Fall alone ?"

He shrugged, "I had to protect my own interests, Gabriel, you know that. Now, where would Balthazar get hold of a relic ?"

Gabriel shook her head, "All this time and still you haven't let it go ? You are almost worse than John. There are two major relic dealers in L.A. one is Midnite and the other is Constantine."

"Constantine ? What is a suicide doing selling holy relics ?"

"He is not a suicide any longer, he has redeemed himself."

Something caught his interest, the remnants of a Fallen Angel's Presence other than Gabriel's. It was Balthazar's, he snarled and rushed out of the room, ready to rid himself of the asshole for eternity.
