It has been three weeks since the fall of the Five, and my world has only fallen further into this world. The entire fight within the city was recorded by a man on top of a building, his footage spread through the news and on the internet. That day I was given many names but one stuck out the most...Savior. The footage of the hordes devouring the humans of the city and my alleged heroic display was something the people of this world had never seen. The man was looked at as both a man who delivers divine news and a heretic. I listened to the television the church labeled me another one of the antichrists, something that shouldnt be regarded as a hero or the villain. But something worse a creature that knows neither no good and no evil, something that knows nothing about right or wrong. The footage of me decapitating Jean was repeated over and over and along with my rebirth. Soon I couldnt hide from the world without using my disguise using the mans skin. But even when I did some knew of me, or who he was. And soon I needed to shape my new skin into someone new a man who no one knew....Ian. The man who was birthed in heaven but came to this world and tried to protect it.
500 years before
The world of Earth and its humans were known to me but not of their sensations. Becoming human in appearance made for some very entertaining sensations, the almighty needed for me to get deep into their world. And I did without hesitation, Uriel was the first to warn me of the sensations of the emotions. Angels and Archs had emotions but took very little from them as it only would lead to turmoil an example Lucifer made very apparent. My mission was to find the potentials before they became of any threat, this took years. And in that time i lived as any human would working and making my life less complicated. But that all changed the night I met Kattya her body glistened in the moonlight, and her smell...it drove me wild. Her body against mine that very night and I knew right then what Uriel had talked about what these emotions can do to us because i had fallen in love. Soon I had forgotten my goal in this life and shunned all the warnings, they came to me in dreams. The Almighty calling to me telling me to continue my task and do not falter, again I would ignore and then one night he came to me in a dream. I tucked in my daughter and made love to my wife and then fell asleep and for the first time I slept without dreaming, the only thing that came to me in my sleep was a line one sentence "We are not allowed these luxury because when the blessed touch the potential wicked we condemn them." I thought nothing of it other than something he was trying to tell me. The next night i told him the next morning I would continue that I needed one more night with my wife and daughter. But that night was the last I would ever see of either of them while they had breath in their lungs, While we slept a man came into the house and was trying to steal from us. I had tried to stop him with what I was gifted with but it felt as if i was depraved of my powers for that brief moment and he slammed a weapon into my temple and I fell unconcious. I awoke to both my father crying telling me "I tried to warn you, but you werent listening." and the sound of my wife screaming. I raced up the stairs and and I heard a thud and ran to Kattyas room. The man who had broke into our house stood over my wifes bleeding body, and only then did I see what he was...he was an angel but his face and spirit twisted he spoke three words "HE warned you." before his wings came off his back and he tried to take flight out the window, but my body took over and my mind went blank. I leaped onto him and brought him to the floor, a small dagger formed in my hand from light and his eyes widened and he screamed "Dont IAN Dont, please for your sake if you take my life you will forever be condemned here. No Angel may take the life of another Angel its his rules." my mind filled with fury I only saw his mouth move and but heard nothing and I slammed the dagger deep into his chest. His blood pooled onto the floor, and I fell off his body and then I scrambled over to Kattya holding her close to me I heard her breaths slow down and felt her soul slowly drift from her body, my eyes filled with tears and then another thought came to mind "Sofie?!" and I set Kat down and scrambled to my feet darting down the hall and slamming her door open...my legs buckle underneath me and I fall to my knees. My sweet innocent Sofie...her bedsheets a crimson red and her body pale...she was gone.
My mind fueled with rage and anger I screamed out the one person i knew would hear me "Lucifer! The man of Sin come to me. I Ian FORMER deity of the lord I CALL FOR YOU." And for a brief moment the world grows quiet then..i feel his fingers on the back of my neck and he speaks with a strong british accent. His voice stumbles and then he speaks up "Its been a while since I have been called, You have caught me at an awkward moment...but it looks as if you have a moment for yourself." My eyes fix on his and I get inches from his face and he looks me down "Ian, Ianontes you know the rules step back or I will be forced to take some rather unsavory methods of making you move." Again I stare at him and I lean towards his face my nose touching his and I tell him "Make me stronger, Turn me into what the other Five will become. I was sent here to stop you...but this world proved too much for me...and he took it from me. I want nothing more than to make him regret giving me this mission and taking my loves from me." a toothy grin erupts on his face and he laughs deep "You were always like me." he wraps his arm around my shoulders and walks me into the shadows.
