Description
01 - The Fall"You know what you did?"
"Yes, I killed that… creature…"
"No – you slaughtered it as if it was a brainless, soulless thing… Something that doesn't feel anything…"
"It doesn't…"
"It did!"
"It killed Haniel…"
"Yes, and you let anger overtake you to get your revenge… That's why we decided on that punishment…"
"I decline to get along with it…"
"What are you talking about, Beleth?!"
"I'm saying that I won't be degraded to a low-class angel again!"
"Then what kind of punishment are you thinking of…?"
"I want…"
"Speak up!"
"…the Fall, that's my decision!"
He doesn't remember any more than the conversation with one of the Elders. That they've been arguing over his punishment for killing the demon. For wanting revenge, committing a sin.
His fall has been nothing more than a blur of red, white and black – blood, feathers and unconsciousness.
He has always thought that the fall would be like being thrown out of the skies, wings ripped off or anything along those lines. But instead it's like getting burnt to ashes – then suddenly he has just fainted, energy gone, the pain too overwhelming to stand it any longer.
He is floating in nothingness. At least he feels that way. But after a while he starts to notice warmth, closeness, gentle touches…
He's sure it's only a dream, like everything else. That he'd wake up, meet with Haniel and annoy Zaphkiel, be shouted at by latter…
But as soon as the pictures – Haniel falling, blade in his hand, knife embedded in flesh and muscles – come back, he's sure that everything would be different as soon as he opens his eyes again.
He hopes that he doesn't have to wake up again, only to be greeted by a destroyed world.
