Heaven or Hell
My body felt light as if I had no body at all. No eyes, no nose, mouth, tongue or hands. I felt disabled, as if I were a robot taken apart. But even if I was a robot, I don't think the feeling would be the same. Nothing would be the same. Then I began to feel it. Eyelids, slowly opening. The feeling was rare to me as if I was born my whole life, deprived of opening my eyes until now. All I had was my eye sight now, nothing more nothing less, even when I looked at my body, I did not feel anything, even when I watched my arms reach up to feel. The features of my face, I did not feel anything.
"Don't worry, your senses will come back."
Suddenly there was a girl that looked just like me, except brighter and more cheery. That and she had a golden halo above her head and one jagged white wing coming from her back. She wore a white dress and was barefoot and there on her core was a pendant similar to the one Kim gave me, except it shined a yellowish white color.
"I'm glad I can finally meet you Maka, I'v been waiting for this moment all my life!" she chimed.
"Where am I." I asked in a hoarse voice.
I looked around. We seemed to be floating in a gray cloudy area somewhere in what seemed like another dimension.
"In the Halfway Point between Heaven and Hell, no one really comes here that often. I wonder where Kah is, she knows how important this is, oh I'm Mah by the way. I'm your other soul or part of you that everyone calls your angel side."
"Are you an angel?"
"Sort of, my wings have been pretty damaged as you can see, but I'll get my new ones as soon as you complete your final destination and choose."
Suddenly the air got more dense. Mah's eyes flickered in the area behind me. My fingers and nose started to work again.
"Glad you can join us Kah," Mah chirped.
Another girl that, again, looked just like me, but with a darker glow and a ripped up black near featherless wing and tiny black horns that stinker out from her hair. She was wearing a black gown with a black leather jacket over it and was also barefoot. She also carried a pendant like mine and Mahs' except it gave off a light reddish black glow.
"Maka, this is Kah, she's also, sort of a demon, but like me she needs new wings, she's the part of you that people call your demon side."
Kah had a distant look in her eyes that told me that she has seen more things than I have and maybe similar things I have also seen.
"But there is still that," Kah said.
"Oh yes, you can only choose one of us to take with you," Mah said.
"You see, well let's explain it together Kah," Mah said grabbing the demon's hand and giving it a light squeeze.
"A long time ago we were born," Kah said.
"Specifically six hundred and eighty nine years ago, born from the same creator on the same day and almost time."
"Yes, we were twins moving on from that... Everyday a child is born, and when they are born their soul is born as well."
"Every child with a soul has either a demon or angel used to influence them and affect their personality."
"A demon will influence you to be more sneaky and deceiving, but also works in a positive way of having a quick thinking strategy, you inherited this from my influence."
"A angel will influence you to act a bit more innocent and pure, along with doing the justice in many decisions and the wit and will power to learn things, you inherited this from my influence, no wonder your a straight A student, we both make you smarter."
"As influential creatures created by gods, no Miester was or is able to see us, except for the color we turn your soul, my main color is red... Mah's is yellow, so your color naturally became orange because of us... But there was once a person whom was able to see us influence people. This person had both a demon and an angel."
"One day they decided to do an experiment with their angel and demon and with this experiment they unlocked a new skill, this was called the Heaven or Hell Fusion."
"By concentrating you can either choose the angel or demon that's inside of you to fuse with your soul and it's image to combine with you yourself. When this is done the soul ratio exceeds beyond the normal point that only a god can withhold, but having this can be done with one with a strong soul, not by size, but by will."
"But the person who created this skill had another idea, they wanted to take their soul strength and create a new kind of magic using only the fuse between both an angel and a demon, a magic that is uncommon and rarer then ever."
"Corona's magic," I whispered.
"Exactly, it was your one and only destiny to provide, you were made to provide us to Corona and to provide the rest of the Demon Sword to Tsubaki when she was ready, and to provide a connection. In this game of blindfold chess you were simply being used as a pawn." Mah said with a still cheerful voice.
"So why do I have to choose one of you?"
"Because..." Kah said.
"The last line on your hand was almost ready to complete the transfer of the Demon Sword, but you died on us last minute, but if your body was still able to live then the transfer can carry on, we thought this might happen so we tried to get you to think about it by telling you in a dream," Mah said.
"But sadly you didn't get the hint..."
"So."
"Choose Maka, do you want an angel or demon to go back with you?"they said in unison.
"You might want to hurry... The Kishin is still there and it won't take long before he devours your friends souls..."
As I thought my senses crawled back to me. It felt like my limbs were frozen for a month in a freezer, I was so cold. But more importantly I had to choose, which would be a good choice? I should just choose quickly, it won't matter as long as one of them come back with me to my body.
It will be my last battle. My last decision. And maybe my real, last breath.
"Mah, I'll take you back with me," I said suddenly once I thought of the angel.
She smiled, turned to her sister and placed a kiss on Kah's cheek.
"I will return safely sister," she said, before letting go of her sister's hand to grab mine.
"Ok, let's make this count!"
There was a hazy flash and I suddenly felt like I was falling.
Actually I was, right out of the sky while holding Mah's hand. But my hands and Mah looked transparent like we were ghosts. Below us was a thick shield of black clouds with purple lightning crackling around, but in the middle of it was a swirl of red clouds. We were aimed in the direction of the red clouds.
"Don't worry Maka! Were fine, demons and angels aren't affected by madness or influence by witches! You inherited that too!" Mah yelled from the yowling wind.
As we neared the red clouds my body, or spirit, tensed. Mah noticed this.
"Maka!" she yelled again.
I turned my head towards her and locked eyes.
"In this story I believe your the true hero, no matter what influence you had! You'll go down in history as the girl with a strong soul!"
My eyes weld up with tears I did not let drop.
"Thank you," I whispered just before the red clouds swallowed us whole.
