I once knew light

Burning bright

Shadows invade


"Every time I close my eyes."

She leaned back abruptly, her right hand shot out of her pocket quicker than anyone would have expected, and with red and white sparkles, a silver dagger appeared in her hand. Emilia blocked her blow as best as she could, and miraculously survived. This one attack was the trigger : drawing in the little magic they had left, Satan Jacob, Alsiel and Emilia Justina became once again who they once were. And the battle began.

Samael had always been a great opponent fast, precise, clever and incredibly powerful, and above all that : merciless. And it hadn't changed the slightest. With all the magic she gathered, she became almost invincible. Each one of her blow blasted a part of the city, destroying buildings, hurting people, killing people. Against her power, against her desire for revenge, there were nothing they could do.

With a flap of her wings, she shot to the sky. From there, she admired her work, a crazy and deranged smile on her lips. There was nothing left of Shinjuku, only blood and ashes.

"And the very reason I am here today…"

Her gaze went to the trio, back to human form, catching their breath while they were still able to.

With the confidence she wished she had, Emilia spoke up.

"Why do you do this !?"

"Why, you ask ?" answered Samael, tilting her head to the side, her hair revealing her right eye. "You really have no idea ?"

Her smile vanished again, and hatred shone in her eyes.

"For months I struggled to get a grip on myself because of what you all did, or didn't do !"

They could feel the magic boiling inside her, slowly leaking out of her body.

"I've been trying to get over it since I woke up that day, only to realise things were much easier when you just numb yourself !"

She flew higher, red aura surrounding her, and a magic circle appeared above her. A power, greater than anything they had ever seen, was building up in the circle. The attack she was preparing would burn the whole city to the ground, and they couldn't let that happen.

This time, Alsiel stepped forward.

"Samael, you need to stop ! You are not fighting the right fight !"

"Oh yeah ? Well you don't seem to know who you are talking to !"

She raised her arms above her head, her circle glowing brighter and brighter. Hate and anger flared in her eyes, deforming her features. Her voice was loud, powerful and clear, just like it was when she commanded her army.

" I am Samael, the Angel of Death, Princess of the Fallen, Queen of Darkness ! Know your damn place Alsiel !" her circle crackled, sending sparkles of red light in the sky "Now the three of you shall pay, and his soul shall be avenged !"

It grew bigger and brighter, until they had to shield their eyes from the radiating red light. The magic continued to build up, humming powerfully.

In the shadow of what used to be a building, someone smile.

And time stopped.

The entire city froze and turned grey. Samael blinked, her circle now nowhere in sight, and flapped her wings until she landed on the ground. Maou, Ashiya and Emi kept their guards up as much as they could, and a soft voice came from nowhere and echoed in what was left of the neighbourhood. The voice spoke a beautiful language that the trio couldn't understand. But Samael's red orbs widened at the very first words.

"|Why does tragedy exist ?|"

" how…"

"|Because you are full of rage.|"

Light footsteps were heard, and then the flaps of wings.

" |And why are you full of rage ?|"

A shadow floated above the ground, and landed gracefully, a few feet in front of Samael. Lucifer stood here, hands in his pockets and dark wings unfolded.

" |Because you are full of grief.|"

Purple met red, and something woke up in Samael. Lucifer walked up to her slowly, like he thought it would scare her away if he wasn't careful.

" Hey there, Sam."

Tears fell from her eyes and streamed down her cheeks. She gently brushed away his purple hair that hid his right eye, resting her hand on his cheek.

" You're not hallucinating, I'm really here." he said with a small smile

"you're here…"

The two of them stood there in silence for a few seconds. Samael pulled back and covered her mouth with her hands.

"what have i done… ?"

She fell on her knees and hugged herself as the weight of her actions, her sorrow and her grief came crashing down on her again.

Lucifer quickly kneeled in front of her and wrapped his arms around her, hugging her close.

"god, what have i done…"

" Nothing you can't fix, Sam. It's gonna be okay, I promise."

She buried her head in the crook of his neck, and hugged him back. They stayed like this for a few minutes, Maou, Ashiya and Emi never leaving them out of their sights.

" i can't fix this… i'm sorry i can't fix this…"

" We both know you can. Forget the promise for once, you shouldn't be the only one unable to make things right…"

She stayed silent for a few more minutes, then took a deep breath and whispered :

" ...okay…"

The frozen world glitched, the colours flashed back, and feathers fell on the ground as wings disappeared. The sun was now setting and the buildings were casting shadows over five lonely figures lost in a sea of people.

Like nothing happened.


And that's all for this chapter ! Samael realizes she messed up pretty bad, maybe a little late but hey, at least she realized it ! Hope you enjoyed it and feel free to leave a review !
