[HEAVEN:24 HRS AGO]
Tension fills the air as the angels try to rally. The time had come again. The next few months would
determine earth's faith for the next five hundred years.
Due to the increase in the rate of immorality on earth the demons have proved victorious for that past
three tournaments.Lucifer has managed to poison the mind of these new generation of humans.
GOD sees the blight his creations are going through and knows the horrors they will face if Lucifer wins
the next tournament. In light of this, he allows his five strongest angels to participate in this year's tournament and succeed at all costs.
In the upper echelons of heaven, the five strongest angels, the Arch angels meet to discuss the current situation.
Amenidael and Michael are the first to arrive. "Amenidael, dearest brother, it is so good to see you it's been such a long time since I last laid eyes on you" Michael says, his countenance ever calm. "I feel the
same way brother unfortunately the events leading to this meeting are less than favourable" Amenidael responds.
"Well you can blame the humans for that" Raphael yells as he joins the meeting his anger clearly showing in his tone. "This new age of humans are filled with nothing but anarchy" He continues. "Oh don't be so hard on them dearest brother, there might still be hope for them yet" Gabriel says as she
arrives in efforts to calm Raphael's soaring temper. Raphael is still angry but calms himself down. "It's so good to see you again little sister" Michael warmly welcomes Gabriel. "Can we begin already?"
Raphael asks impatiently. "Patience brother, Azreal is yet to arrive" Amenidael answers.
As if it was planned,Azreal immediately arrives right on cue. "Forgive my tardiness my dear siblings, I had to escort some souls to the great beyond" Azreal jokes hoping to get a positive reaction but her joke is met with absolute silence.
With everyone now present, Amenidael begins the meeting "My brothers and sisters, we all know why we are gathered here today. It has been five hundred years since the last tournament and tomorrow
marks the beginning of a new tournament. But unlike the previous tournaments, this one is very crucial".
" How do you mean brother" Michael asks. Amenidael with a straight face replies"Unlike the ones before,if we lose this tournament, Lucifer will be granted full dominion over earth and all its inhabitants.Nothing will be safe from his hands".
A deadly chill fills the air after amenidael utters those words. The angels calm countenance suddenly changed to that of shock. "But how could this be?" Michael asks with concern. "It should be obvious,
Lucifer as always has become arrogant and proud due to his recent victories and he's decided to destroy earth" Raphael retorts, his face glowing with anger. "It's all because of those insolent humans,they've become too soft and docile. The last tournament didn't even last three months". There is silence once again. Although what he said was a bit harsh, the angels agreed with what Raphael had said.
"Regardless of the humans errors, our heavenly Father still shows love for them and wishes for their survival and to achieve this, He as given us the permission to participate in this year's tournament" Amenidael replies. "As always Father's love for the humans is unyielding" Gabriel responds. "It never ceases to amaze me" Azreal chips in. "In that case I would like to make a request" She continues.
"Speak your mind dear sister" Amenidael replies. "I wish for Abbadon to join in this year's tournament.He may not bear the title of Archangel but he's just as capable as any of us and I believe he would be a great assets to us in battle" Azreal replies. "Are you sure of this? You are well aware of the toll housing an angel like Abbadon would take on the human body" Gabriel asks, her concern steadily increasing.
"We can't take any half measures in this battle. I will take full responsibility of Abbadon's actions so you need not to worry dear sister"Azreal replies with a reassuring smile. "So then we are all in agreement?"Amenidael asks and is answered by a nod from each of the angels. " This meeting has now come to an end. Let us go and prepare for the upcoming battle, the faith of the humans rests on our
shoulders".
As the archangels disband, Azreal heads off to find her brother. She heads to the one place her twin brother is fond of, the great void;PURGATORY.
It doesn't take her long to find Abbadon as he is in his favorite spot meditating. "Do you ever grow tired of staying here dear brother?. There is nothing here but darkness that stretches far and wide" Azreal asks half jokingly in a bid to spark a reaction from her brother. "My dear sister, you should know by now that I prefer the silence this realm has to offer as it helps clear my ever chaotic mind" Abbadon retorts,his expression unmoved from the remark his sister makes. "What brings you here, you barely ever visit"
Abbadon asks with a curious expression. "I'm afraid I come bearing bad news brother".
Azreal begins to explain to Abbadon the details of the meeting she just came back from and his
impending role in the upcoming tournament.
" How very predictable of you to add me into situations without my consent. Nevertheless this situation is dire. Unfortunately I'm not sure I might be able to help you dear sister. Need I remind you of what happened the last time I participated?" Abbadon replies. "Like you said brother, the situation is dire. We
have to take the risk, you! have to take the risk if not for the humans but for the sake of our beloved father and your dear sister" Azreal says as she tries to persuade her brother.
"My personal feelings aside, this will please father so I suppose I don't have any other option. I shall participate in this year's tournament".
[HEAVEN:PRESENT DAY]
The time for the tournament had arrived. All the one hundred angels chosen had now gatho and were
ready to go out in search of human vessels to possess.
As they saw the blue comet which signified the start of the tournament, they all scattered off to earth to
begin their search. "Good luck dear brother, do well to find me as quickly as you can" Azreal bids farewell to Abbadon as they go off in different directions.
As Abbadon enters earth he begins his search for a capable vessel. As faith would have it he caught glimpse of a boy falling to his death. "He desires death. Perhaps he might be of use to me" Abbadon thought to himself as he flew over to direction of the boy.
''And so the fates of these two collide''
