• I am an angel, and this is my tale.

    I was merely meant to serve God and to do his will, yet how can I do that when He orders me to forsake my love? I cannot. Even if my love be a demon, and it is forbidden to associate with him, how can I forsake him when I love him? I asked God, "But is love not the purest thing in the world? You told me to spread it over the world, yet you ask me to not have happiness of my own?" But he did not answer me.

    I met him on the road between heaven and hell. On this road, it is forbidden to carry weapons and the like. He seemed so familiar, and yet so far away. He stared at me, and then turned away. He slipped me a note, asking me to meet him under the elder tree in the forest.

    The memories slip by my mind and envelope me in their warmth. He told me that he loved me, and I love him.

    I hear him rustling in his sleep. Good. I would rather die knowing that he is safe.

    I don't know how He found out about my lover, but He summoned me to talk in private. He told me that I have two choices: to forsake my love and stay in heaven, or to be banished forever. I did not hesitate for even a second. I asked Him, "If I am banished, can I love him freely?" He did not reply. I said, "I would rather die with him then be alone for the rest of my life," I walked to the portal of heaven and as I did, I felt the mark of a fallen angel burn upon my skin. My love appeared before me and led me to the gates of hell.

    I am not sure how long I have been here in hell as a fallen angel. It could be a couple centuries, for all I know. But the one thing I am sure of is my love for him.

    How long have I lain here with the whispers of the spirits in my heart? The only thing I am aware of now is the distinct memory of that fateful day that I fell in love.
