Rotten Wings

Prologue; Never Forget

“Big brother, over here!” echoed a voice in a flower field as I looked up from my book. “What is it Ezekiel?” I asked closing the book setting it on my lap. He shoved a flower crown in front of me “For you!” he cheered before he laid next to me but after he had ‘crowned’ me. “We'll be together forever, right?” Ezekiel asked smiling while I chuckled nodding “Forever and ever”

That was 11 years ago, now I'm 17. I miss him, a lot actually. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself I'm Azazel, no last name at least anymore. Also my name is kind of ironic, an angel with a fallen angel’s name who betrayed heaven, many people hate me for it. Not that I care anyway there's no point since he’s gone. “Hey Zel! Heaven to Zel! Zeeeeeeeeel, Zel, Zel, Aza-" I growled at Axel when he almost called me by that annoying name. “What now!?” I yelled angrily. He flew up to me “We're having a mission tomorrow! Isn't that awesome?” he practically giggled, as I shoved him away from me grumbling a quiet “very" “You don't sound excited, seriously we get to go back to earth! I miss the ice cream and cake… the cake though, the cake man!” he yelled drooling. “You and your sweet tooth" I mentally sigh. “anyways time to get our stuff right? After all we do need our weapons for the mission” I stated spreading my wings taking off the cloud towards my dorm.

As the conversation of Axel and Azazel went on in heaven. Hell had its own problems. Different demons and spirits rubbing or flying around, and in the mess was Ezekiel getting harassed once again. “Hey freak what's with those wings?" “And that hair! Are you a girl or something?” they continued to throw insults at him as he ignored them and didn't bother to stop, after all Seiji was waiting for him at the palace gates. Luckily time flew past quickly and he was at the palace gates and happily waved to Seiji. “Took you long enough Zekiel, what happened?” “Eh you know the usual; insults, fights and then almost getting lost. Nothing unusual” Ezekiel laughed slinging his arm around Seiji’s shoulders while Seiji just chuckled. “You do more you could just ask me to deal with them if you want" “where's the fun in that" he grinned interrupting the other demon. These older demon stared at the younger who was still grinning, before laughing and dragging him into the palace grounds as he questioned him “Are you out of your mind? Because you seem like it!” Ezekiel elbowed him in the ribs smirking, causing Seiji to grunt in discomfort just as he tripped him, turning it into a casual brawl breaking vases, mirrors and other important family heirlooms. Following their brawl the maids and burned panicked saying things like "Please stop young prince" "Do not break anything" "Stop being so childish" "Are you alright young prince?" and so on, until the head butler came in with a very dark aura making everyone freeze in fear. "O-oh h-hi... Ast-taroth"
