Azeraphil: There are many types of angels and demons, and many who were "the fallen angels' 'who refer to those who got out of the good graces of God…now not many fallen become Demons… no, they are still viewed as being bad, but they aren't considered the same as a Demon. Many who control an uncharted territory where not even God could tread on or control lies hidden from the realms of the living and the dead. This was a sacred place where only the fallens lived free from the 3 realms. This is a domain we're very little known of. Now you must be wondering how have none heard of them? And what makes them so unique? Why are they called such? And won't calling them fallens be confusing? Yes…but who cares. Now many years ago, when earth was first created, many knew of the story of how God created Heaven and the Earth, and how on the seventh day God had rested. But before the creation of the earth God had foreseen the fallens much like Lucifer and many other fallen angels, who would fall out of grace of God. But no one had told you the story of how the fallens got the awful reputation…
(On mid-earth)
God: Cothen!!!! You dare to take them someplace where I can't see you?
Cothen: no,no, I would never!!!
God: Why do you yell at me?
Cothen: oh gosh…no…no I would never yell at you…(gulps)
God: Don't cry, I'm just pulling your leg…*laughs* you should loosen up more.
Cothen: *relieved sigh* oh ok…I was a little concerned…my apologies Sir…(wipes his brow)
God: yes…but no, I'm serious, what are you doing with my Angels?
Cothen: my men, have been in a bit of a problem…we have walked through poisonous things that seem to be eating away at the angels!! I at first didn't know what to do…but then one of the angels jumped into the water…and they seemed to have been fine after that…so I let them…wh-what seems to be the problem?
God: It's quite simple, I can't see the angels that have bathed into the waters…as you see the waters are making it hard for me to see them.
Cothen: What would you like me to do?
God: easy, I want you to stop anymore of them from going into the waters.
Cothen: but…but Sir!!!! The other angels are in pain!!! They all have some sort of reaction to the-
God: Be silent!!
Cothen: …
God: …I will help your men, if you do as I have asked of you. you will be rewarded in the glory of God, but disobey Me, and I will be unable to help you.
Cothen: …does that mean…that the other…the ones who went into the waters…will they-?
God: Do not give into sin my dear friend, I am the Way, the Truth, & the Life to your salvation, all who believe in Him, Believe in Me, and shall have eternal life even after death.
Cothen: I know this…
God: But do you believe this?
Cothen: …(looks up) I will trust your judgment until the end.
God: …be at peace my friend. Something greater is around the corner.
Cothen: I am sorry, I do not wish to disobey. I…I will not disobey orders.
God: here's this…keep them away from the waters till the first eyes upon earth rise upon the mountains and its light touches every aspect of the dark shadows, when the world doesn't weep any longer than it has weeped on the long awaited day, another life shall bloom before the first dawn birthed from the hopes of the fearless man who's love adored a woman, in turn they shall give life to a seed of generations that shall bear the fallen children of my light.
Cothen: …I see.
God: do not be sad my dear friend, for death even amongst Angels is a natural way of life. Soon my friend a better life shall sprout and bloom by…what did the Seraphims call that thing?
Cothen: what?
God: that…it's long and has a bunch of fuzzy things on them, that look like needles?...I found them frightening but either way, who cares. They will sprout like those things. and live a new life as a gift from Me to them. Now…rejoice and spread my awesome news so that they may no longer weep.
Cothen: (bows and Walks back to the others near the lake)
Ezlem: well? What did God say?
Cothen: God has forbidden us to ever bathe in this river.
Evangeline: I beg your pardon?
Cothen: God can't see us once we bathe in the lake.
Ezlem: and therefore we suffer? In agony and pain? For the rest of when?
Cothen: he'd said that we are to wait for firstlight upon Earth.
Evangeline: well that makes everything ok then.
Ezlem: Oh, here we go.
Evangeline: don't "oh here we go" me, we will be dead by then…dead, whoever isn't affected will be digging graves for the poor dead….
Cothen: There's a cure!!!
Evangeline: …really? And we're still waiting for this cure, yeah?
Cothen: …
Evengeline: Your fascination for following the rules is beyond people's help, to be fair one could write 3 volumes and call it the thesis of ArchAngel Cothen and then put it into a guide book for the lost and broken.
Cothen: there is a cure, and if we're patient we will have it distributed to everyone.
Evengeline: you mean those that make it?
Cothen: Eva, do not talk as if our God has abandoned us!! We are to be-
Evangeline: Oh no I made him mad, I'm not thinking He abandoned us, I just think that when one can see everything and still put us here to see if we'll abandon Him, one would be "wild" to put two and two together.
Cothen: Then you are wild, you are mad for thinking such things.
Evangeline: Am I mad? Oh am I thinking logically right now?
Cothen: you are focusing on false circumstances.
Evangeline: false my butt, I see a dangerous dance-
Cothen: you dance dangerously…
Both: (angry tension dancing through the air)
Zaphram: (comes into the tent) ArchAngel Cothen, it's Grandovia, she'd passed..
Cothen: how long ago?
Zaphram: just about some time ago…question?
Cothen: go ahead?
Zaphram: Will we be able to go home? Will any of us get to go home? Is there no hope?
Cothen: …what is the meaning of hope if there is no tomorrow? Zaph…if there is a tomorrow…there is always hope.
Zaph: …yes…yes…I guess you are right…(walks out)
Ezlem: …*frowns* Coth, this is bad, we don't have as long as you think. And…
Cothen: and? what?
Harthem: And he knows it!! *Chuckles* How fun, the only one unaffected by the poison has to be the one to know and be loved by God more than others? And the best part…is he doesn't know how to tell people they are going to die-
Cothen: reborn again in a-
Harthem: new life? Oh yes…we know…who doesn't? Hmm? He'd care for the safety of Angels if we weren't so expendable.
Cothen: stay quiet in your corner, you kept your mouth shut why open it now?
Harthem: open your eyes, you're so blind!!
Cothen: do not say such things, you are the one that's blind, you don't see the master plan that we need to have patience for. We mustn't turn on each other…not like this.
Ezlem: I agree, less at each other's throats and more trying to ease our dear friends…
Cothen: thank you Ez…
Evangeline: when we are all dead, what next?
Cothen: rebirth another life?
Evangeline: We are on our own…and if you wish to be blind to it, then so be it, who am I to stop you? Oh great and wondrous messenger? After all…we live for the purpose of hope inside of our souls.
Cothen: believe in the works of our Creator!!! Angels!!! Believe that our God knows what is best for us!! Believe!! For we are creatures of God; work of beauty that beings upon earth must look up to…we are the truth holders and the knowledge that was blessed by God, our Sovereign!! the ones who are made to never sin nor stray to the path that was not chosen for us but rather blessed for us to walk in-
Lailah: (walks in) Cothen…?...Neomon, Kethral, Dharmik, & Soal have bathed in the lake, what would you have me do-
Cothen: No!! Why didn't you stop them!!
Lailah: ever thought that maybe most Angels wouldn't want to be dead? Or for the most part reborn upon earth?
Cothen: Have you been listening?
Lailah: admittedly yes.
Cothen: then you should know above anyone else that they should be honored Lailah!!
Lailah: …you are right…
Cothen: (growls) get to your point Lailah.
Lailah: but being reborn is as worse as being casted out and considered a disgrace to all of Heaven and those whom are kin, they won't walk earth as themselves, they won't go home anymore, they will be humanistic in character and unfamiliar with their new life.
Cothen: It is an honor.
Lailah: an honor. For your sake…I hope so. (bows and takes her leave)
(while outside)
Azrael: (looks at Lailah) …I don't like death, but yet a sorrowful beauty rises up from the souls of creatures who pass.
Lailah: hmm, subtle and peaceful…maybe their journey didn't happen the way they had wanted..but I can't argue with how peaceful they seem even after they pass.
Azrael: but?
Lailah: But unfortunately I know why we weep for our friends…what'll happen to them?
Azrael: they'll be casted out of Heaven with their titles stripped away from them…
Laulah: …will they become demons?
Azrael: Who knows. The only thing we can do now is to hope that is not the case.
(Over at the lake)
Lailah: What are we to do?
Azrael: there must be a way around it somehow. Even if it is a problem…If this gets out and Death hears, destruction of Heaven will be the least of one's problems.
Lailah: (kneels down) hey? Are you awake? Still here with us even for a little while?
Aalok: bētnàph kèpt nê jaê famli jët. (I smell hamburger and toads feet)
Lailah: …she is responsive. But I wouldn't say she's consciously awake. (walks up around the tent with the other patients) …what of these angels? What happened?
Zaphram: they all couldn't hold onto the pain much longer, so they took matters into their own hands….
Lailah: (closes their eyes) rest now dear friends "Itule mnet."
Some Angel: Kefule, kefule, kefule amunime. (Bless me, bless me, bless me before I die too)
Lailah: Who am I to refuse one's cries? "Penume, busevie Jetlu, Itule mnet, itule mnet, keme Lailah Kefule ahfile Itule e mnet…Lefiel…Itule Mnet" (Here I stand, underneath the courts of Heaven, here in death we walk with light, here in death we walk with light, I Lailah bless the Angel in death and may he walk with light…Lefiel…here in death we walk with light)...
Zaphram: …thank you.
Lailah: (closes the angels eyes) mnet (we walk with light).
Azrael: how interesting…
Lailah: hmm? (looks over)
Azrael: Unlike everyone else, her body seems to know what the problem is and slow it down enough to figure something out. Zaphram? May I see your board?
Zaphram: (give the board over)
Azrael: how acute…
Lailah: What?
Azrael: I have been analyzing in an observation state,
Zaphram: You mean you've been observing?
Azrael: …and the effect of this poison, it seem to be a liquid with a mind of its own-
Lailah: like a living creature?
Azrael: seems to be so. it flows upwards to the brain, once there it'll eventually start the process of damaging the nerve that is connected to the dream scapes, where everything you see and whatever you feel is-
Lailah: not there?
Azrael: not exactly, one would still feel pain, but it is mostly in the brain. If it targets the one place that controls your nerves, then it'll make you think the pain is everywhere else, but the brain, allowing it time to eat your brian.
Lailah: So essentially, while everything else is hurting, the actual place is dangerously damaging the brains at a faster rate?
Zaphram: just say it's damaging the brain.
Azrael: …yes.
Lailah: so, how come it's affecting at a faster rate with the other Angels and not Aalok?
Azrael: my guess is, she is the embodiment of an AOD, they tend to feed off of darker souls even with our masks on.
Lailah: Cause Death is Death…and working in that environment already slows down anything unknown and not a part of them…makes
Azrael: correct-
Aalok: (gets up)
Lailah: Aalok!! What are you doing, please sit back down-
Zaphram: she was laying down…actually.
Both: (glares at her)
Aalok: kèpt nåmni êct tū, Dèmlik dèv bùr nö. Brû dîkë ôiti muédàm. (rain is beautiful today, and the storm is about to come back)
Lailah: …that makes no sense dear.
Zaphram: …I mean there are storm clouds in the distance.
Both: do you mind?
Aalok: huvar dolis mèt nám kè? Nám kè iv é lupil llupaş ( what is sense? Sense is a trivial thing an imaginary realm in itself)
Lailah: …I…did you hit your head? Cause we have to rule out that poison doing it, cause it's not even in your brain…right? (looks at Azrael)
Azrael: no.
Zaphram: He's not a certified doctor.
Aalok: kemme…kemme ame? (who…who are you?)
Lailah: maybe you hit your head…it's me Lailah?
Aalok: monepta Lailah? Impha Lailah!!!! Impha Lailah!!!! Jemune Feltula morune!!!! Jumune Feltula Morune, Kefasa Couplues!!!!! (Your Lailah? I'm Lailah!!! I'm Lailah!!! Give me back my face!!! give me back my face you fouled fiend!!!!)
Lailah: calm down and lets talk about this-
Aalok: Me Kefasa couplues jeh Jemune Feltula Mourne Jemme jemme eh!!!! Likota Nemu, Likota Nemu!!! (The fouled fiend who took my face speaks to me!!!! Seize her!!! Seize her!!!!) Nemi Jemu ne coul, Calufe grunem bwasaba, Nemu…Likota…Nemu, Nemi ne loka!!!!! (she feeds off of my soul, drains my light!!!! her…Seize…her, she took my sanity!!!)
Zaphram: …she's going into hyper shock, I'm sorry Archangel Lailah, I am going to need you to leave…I…I don't need my patient to be strained and start to-
Aalok: (starts to go crazy and all the medical angels have to pin her down)
Zaphram: Out now!!!
Lailah: …I'm sorry…I'm so sorry…(Gets up and leaves the tent)
Aalok: (looks at Azrael) tüa tem Impha busädèma, Keme la feto Keme el lipo pu me namit…(eh I'm tired, I don't think I was going to make it out with that)
Azrael: …you could've been nice about sending her off like that.
Aalok: Kelpi nämurè, keme Musal pu dumêtm fa ladua ambûr, mēosæ, làkua keme el temper dio lák. (hush up, I am going to be leaving, and I don't plan on coming back)
Azrael: the consequences of these actions could end in your termination…and ability to come back home…
Zaphram: That was bad wording.
Azrael: Your face is bad wording.
Aalok: (turns Azrael's head to look at her) Tia more el keme el namit? Keme musal doma kèplin dûmi set, Keme el ladua ambûr lesser dome. Betta Keme juvel monstaffe jet lum keme cal dorse. Kove Azrael kevada novi tu pilla. (you don't think I don't know that? I am taking the high road, I don't care about what is going to happen to me and how it's going to happen. Heck I have accepted all my fates for as long as I can remember. Let me go Azrael, I have this chance and I'm not going to waste it.)
Azrael: whatever your decision is…I'm…sure you will not regret it.
Azeraphil: let us skip to the year of well…to the Garden. where the one by the fallen named Raven sits upon the garden wall, watching the movement of the humans below; Adam & Eve.
Raven: (contemplating) look at that, Adam is a shindig and a breeder. Who knew the first man would have egos the size of heaven and a title known infinitely across the board as a "player?" hmm? Who would've thought? As soon as he loses one wife he gets a new one like that.
Ecral: do you ever watch your tongue?
Raven: I prefer not to for the sake of stupidity…plus you're judging them too.
Ectral: It's called silent judging. You should try it some time.
Raven: hmm…not fun…so wait, this is the guy everyone wants to have name the animals?
Ectral: I don't think anyone said he was going to be perfect.
Raven: I'd've thought since the people of the earth would be intermingling with heaven that they would've made the first man humble…he'd be less annoying that way.
Ectral: …hmm…he sure did name that poor bird wrong.
Raven: In my humble opinion I think everyone saw the red flags but just ignored it cause they thought he would be a stand up comedian.
Ectral: he's not very funny.
Raven: You know what?
Ectral: hmm?
Raven: this is the new creation and everyone gets to watch it, when someone comes over we should act dumb…
Ectral: go on?
Raven: Just follow my lead. Celestial is coming over here with her witchy expression…if you know what I mean…(turns around acting nice) Oh!!! Hi Celestial…didn't see ya…
Celestial: isn't this fantastic?
Raven: what? Them? (turns to the garden) Would you look at that…aren't they a bit strange, and stupid nonetheless? What do you suppose you think they are? Ectral? What do you think about them? What would you call them?
Ectral: …I haven't the slightest clue…it walks on two feet like us, but with no wings…(shivers) it's atrocious…almost like a nightmare from the pits of hell.
Celestial: ok you two, very funny.
Raven: no, I'm serious…what are they called?
Ectral: …humans are they not?
Raven: Really?
Ectral: yeah. God made them in bulk and is still waiting for the second shipment to be made and set up in the package.
Raven: The whole package?
Ectral: the whole package, with instructions on how to put them together too.
Celestial: alright, enough of this, do have some respect, both of you.
Ectral: I was very nice today…don't know why you have to go and ruin it-
Celestial: shut it…-
(ground shakes)
Ectral: oh…dear.
Celestial: oh…that is not-
(Earth continues to rumble and shake)
Raven: isn't that new. Look at that, the sky is twinkling-op nevermind it's returned back to normal.
Ectral: huh-(looks down) so must we. I don't believe we should be here. I sense trouble…
Raven: well that's because the Cock has flown the coop and is now coming to grace our presence.
Ectral: (looks up) hush, let's be nice.
Raven: I am nice-
Ectral: be more nice-
Micheal: hello fallen angels…sorry…fallens…what are you called? Serpents? No…supious? No…what are you-
Ectral: I think the word you're looking for is Syrthiedig…but we don't use that often.
Raven: …well would you look at that, top of the mornin to ya M? I thought I would never see ya in this day and age, after all you do have such a good soul & presence. Please…care to join us on the ledge and watch what man has done? Pull up a seat and some food, this is about to be entertaining.
Micheal: you are vile and gross and naive, why would I sit with the likes of you rotten mutts?
Raven: Look at him using big words, you'd think time passed in Heaven.
Ectral: hmm…
Michael: Are you done?
Raven: greatly so M, greatly so.
Micheal: Raven of the Fallens, please hold thy tongue I wish no ill upon you, but rather that you would so kindly depart from this area so that I may bask in the peace where there is chaos.
Raven: You did feel that shake not that long ago…right?
Michael: And if I did?
Raven: Just a thought my friend…Micheal, you do not say such things unless to truly mean them. If I leave then so shall humans whom are trying their hardest to walk out of the safety of the garden gifted by God. I mean…there are monsters out there-
Michael: Then I shall provide them safety.
Raven: with what? Your light?
Michael: You insolent wretch.
Raven: ooh…nasty words. How do you think God would take to hearing your potty mouth-
Michael: do not toss the name of the All Mighty, so carelessly around!!!
Raven: Frisky are we?
Ectral: I am truly sorry that my friend has no control of what she says to anyone most of the time…
Raven: Oh don't apologies, we know you don't mean it-
Ectral: fair. Continue.
Michael: yes, don't apologize-(looks at him) Let herself redeem thy tongue.
Raven: Actually it is "let her redeem thy tongue" but who is guessing.
Michael: (glares at her)
Raven: sorry…yes, my tongue has done what it must always do…spit in the lands that trough ahead, and then bend over backwards for saying what needed to be said…but then again that would be a terrible act…for I keep to the middle ground and protect one who…is unaware of a feeble rat.
Michael: You disgust me heathen!!
Raven: Oh no…no, no, disgust is a strong sense of disapproval aroused by something unpleasant or offensive. The thought of someone existing opposite of you disgusts you, evil doesn't disgust you it's the thought of someone who has a choice to do good in the world or to completely destroy themselves and others around you disgust you. I am not the object of why I disgust you, what I did is the reason for your disgust of me, you see me do something wrong once and the world only looks at that one problem. If I was perfect in your eyes for doing what was morally wrong I would've been disgusted in myself for letting someone dictate my every move.
Michael: …
Ectral: (frowns) Rávên èctû meëhmë!!! (be silent Raven)
Raven: Oh great Archangel, please humble my heart and forgive my tongue, for it has spoken to you as if you were a retch for some odd reason…Do you mind me calling you that? Anyhow, tell me how to go about not doing that ever again?
Michael: That is not a proper apology!!
Raven: this is what you get, take it or leave it.
Celestial: quiet both of you…it is happening.
Everyone: (witnessing the earth shaking again and the stars moving and returning back to dusk)
Raven: did that ever do that before?
Michael: …no.
Raven: well, you best get to the Managers about that. Karen will be wanting to see them about this mess.
Ectral: …who's Karen?
Raven: (shrugs) no comment. Well Michael…we must be on our way.
Michael: (stops Raven quickly) please, choose your side with a wiry hand before you do the worst of things. In all seriousness I don't want you hurt.
Raven: in all seriousness do not look at me, for whichever side I am on, I will be dishonored whether I've done them a thing or not. Plus this isn't for just one of either side…I do the work of both…Be safe, old friend.
Ectral: I believe things are about to begin. We should go before we get roped in.
Azeraphil: you are probably wondering "what war?" Well you see before creation but after Adam and Eve, we all had what many liked to call "settling a rift between the two sides, a battle of good vs evil. Where either side gets what they want. But neither actually accomplishing the goal of one being the victor…in other words good doesn't exist without evil. But because I'm a bit biased, I think good should win.
