EPILOGUE

Fallen
w. Rielin

― A blind angel falls in love with the most fearful devil ―


.

LUCIFER

The gate that separated both heaven and hell― it seemed so heartless, emitting a cold aura that made the fragile blind angel shiver in fear. The gate that once welcomed her, now truly felt like… hell.

From afar, Aisha could hear Elsword's, her mother's and the archangel's voice, yet everything sounded like a murmur. Their voices were ringing inside, clashing with one another within her brain. Nothing was clear, her brain was fogged up.

"Aisha―!" the devil screamed her name with a pleasing cry.

Then within that second, Aisha heard screams filled with pain, the sound of bones breaking, blood being splattered across the floor― and Elsword's voice― crying her name in agony.

"Wh― what's happening, Elsword?!" Finally coming to her senses, Aisha yelled, wandering around yet for she was blind― she cannot see anything but darkness.

"You cannot see what is happening, my dear Aisha," her mother whispered into her ear as she wrapped her arms around Aisha's shivering body. Her embrace did not feel warm anymore― for everything she spoke of was nothing but a lie.

"But you can clearly hear what is happening." she whispered. "His death,"

"No― no, please! Stop this, I beg of you!" Aisha cried in pain as she heard the sound of her lover crying in misery.

"This is the sin you must pay your crime in, Aisha," the archangel spoke, his deep voice echoing throughout both heaven and hell.

Then everything was silent― absolute silent.

"Elsword…?" Aisha spoke, her voice coming off as a whisper as she temporarily lost her voice from screaming.

"Once again," the archangel spoke. "Aisha. You have experienced heaven by being fallen in love, but you will experience hell as the fallen angel,"

And with those heartless words, the blind angel that fell in love with the most fearful devil― were both abolished from the sacred grounds of heaven and was thrown into the deepest realm of hell.

"N― no…!" Aisha screamed, yet it was useless.

"Now you can forever be with your lover― Lucifer," the archangel's voice echoed throughout, ringing into Aisha's ears as she felt her body fall down with gravitational force pushing down on her.

Then with a grunt and a loud thud, the dead body of once most fearful devil of hell and the fallen angel that fell in love with him― hit the scorching, ominous ground of hell.

She does not need to cross the prickly thorns and bushes of roses anymore, yet those thorns and bushes will constantly stab her heartbroken-self.

"Elsword…," she cried as she carefully embraced his lifeless, cold body into her arms. She felt no life.

I lost my lover. I lost my holy status as a sacred angel that symbolizes purity. Now― I am just a powerless fallen angel that will forever wander around hell― blind and lost, forever unable to find warmth.

"You were never the devil for me, my dear angel," she whispered, resting her head on top of his chest that stopped beating its life.

I cannot feel. Your shallow breaths on my neck and your gentle fingertips softly outlining the edges of my skin.

I cannot hear. Your husky voice echoing into my mind, one that was constantly ringing inside.

I trace down my fingertips on every edge, every carvings on your face. However, you are lifeless. I can tell, you're not making any expressions― you're not smiling, you're not crying. I gently grab onto your hand as I continue to touch the edges of your face with my other hand. Even though you're in front of me, I do not feel your warmth.

How I wished, how I prayed, for once― just for once, I could see your beautiful face.

You are a sin. You are a gift. I should've never met you.

Because I am a fallen angel. Because I was once, fallen for you my dear, Elsword.

"For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to chains of gloomy darkness to be kept until the judgment"
2 Peter 2:4
