A/N : Happy late new year. It's kind of hard to write about Iris and her past. If you noticed anything unusual about her, that means I twisted the fact a bit here and there *smiled innocently
dsi user : Well, I originally planned for her to be younger. But I want her to be the opposite of William. Except for the part 'too realist'.
"What are you staring at?" A man with soft smile approached her. She just nodded as an acknowledgement before looking at the desert scene before her.
The man, without having to be invited, took a seat next to her. "Do you miss the Heaven?"
She – just like Sytry, is a fallen angel. Iris, the Goddess of Rainbow, the messenger of the God was now more than nothing but a normal human.
"How does death feel like?"
A frown replaced his smile. "Why do you ask?"
"Angels and demons replenish their energy by sleeping. They're immortal, isn't it? So, I wonder what will happen to me once I died."
"So, you don't want to die?"
Iris shook her head. "I don't know. But I feel like my existence will be a problem later on."
Iris jolted up from her bed. Sweats were forming on her forehead. That dream. What was that about? Why did that person looked like her? And that man...his eyes were just like William.
"Have a sweet dream?"
Iris turned to look at the voice's owner who was standing across her. A sincere smile greeted her. "More like an unknown, bad dream."
Dantalion looked quite disturbed, but immediately wiped any trace of it from his face. "Do you want to go out?"
"Can I?"
Dantalion didn't answer. Instead, he snapped his fingers and their surroundings changed. "Welcome to Hell."
Iris chuckled. "If William knew, he'll kill you." Having fresh air for some recuperation did sound good, but fresh air in Hell? Maybe not so much.
"Then, please keep this from him."
"Worried that he might not choose you?" Iris teased him. Dantalion smiled as he left the question unanswered. His concern now was much bigger than that. It's...
"Iris." Iris turned to meet his red orbs. She suddenly got a bad vibe. "You have to stay away from William."
William was furious. Really furious. The flame of wrath around him was worse than the Hell's fire. Isaac was shuddering in fear. Never in his life he saw William this furious.
"Don't worry. Dantalion wouldn't harm her." Sytry opened his mouth to comfort the Elector. But it only made things worsened.
"I swear, if he tried anything..."
Camio just sighed. 'That stupid Nephilim. The brain in his skull is really just a decoration.' But what disturbed him more about what Beelzebub said. About Iris' power, the keys and her fate later.
Apparently, Sytry had the same thoughts as Camio. As a result, he kept on munching more snacks than usual. As if his stomach had evolved into a bottomless pit.
"Ne, Camio, Sytry." William finally calmed down. "About Iris...I hope you don't get her involve in any of your worlds."
Camio and Sytry exchanged looks, before turning their attentions back to William. "As much as we'd love to..."
"That's impossible." Sytry continued. "Even if we comply to your request, Heaven will use her. They might perform forced ecstasy on her. After all, Iris is..."
"Solomon's adopted daughter." William finished it.
Just like Solomon who was bestowed with all knowledge by the world, Iris was bestowed as a direct messenger of the God – one who ranked above the Archangels such as Micheal themselves. Her orders priorotized any other angels and her links to the sea and sky – she controlled the water and air, which are the basic needs for human - depicted how influenced her effect was on humanity.
But she was casted aside when she defended Solomon from Uriel's judgement.
Feeling guilty, Solomon took her in with him as his daughter. She learned about how demons could be warmer than angels and how demons could be more understanding when it came to human's desire than angels.
That's why, when Lucifer came and offered her a place beside him, she couldn't resist.
Because of her bestowement and her links to both Heaven and Hell respectively, Iris awakened a new power. A power outside of anyone's mind.
The power to link both realm.
And the last time she did that...
"I'm back~" The familiar cheery voice interrupted their conversation. "Hello everyone." William immediately walked to his sister. "Hey Willi- Owww! What was that for?"
William hit her head once again with fury. "Don't give me that! What the hell are you thinking going with him to Hell?!" It didn't take much effort to figure out where Dantalion brought Iris. There's no way he would take the effort of smuggling her outside when he could just teleported back to Hell.
"Geez." Iris pouted. "No need to be so mad. I'm just sightseeing, not elope with him."
Sytry choked at Iris' words. William's eyes widen more than usual. "YOU!"
Excusing themselved from the ruckus, the atmosphere of the three demons was dark. Really dark. And gloomy. And depressed.
"So, did you tell her?"
Dantalion shook his head. "Before I could say anything, she said she already knew."
"Knew about what?" Her past? Her identity? Her powers? More random guesses entered Camio's mind.
"About she needs to stay away from William." Dantalion took a deep breath before adding "That's what their parents have been doing all these years."
A/N : Review for Author-san please? xD
