The Demon And the Angel

Turning the Prince

"Devils don't fly" Someone once told me, and I believed it. Since the day I was born I've been stuck in Purgatory. Not being able to leave, I found stuff to do, but it only got boring pretty quickly. So, after a time, I desperately began to look for a way to leave. That's when I found one, a doorway to what was known as "the human world". I started to pick the lock, wanting to see the world above, to be free. Already done with the first two locks seeing as they weren't tough to break, I looked at the third one, a simple lock that would take only seconds to do.
Bending down, I started to work on it, only to freeze when I heard a jarring alarm going off, then more and more, until every alarm was off. 

Accessing my surroundings, I saw Guards appearing with violent weapons in hand. After I was trapped in a semi-circle, I saw the Guards move, so that a chariot could stop between them. The chariot held stones incomparable to any ever known to this realm, it was obvious who it must be. Stepping out of the chariot were three people. The Royal Family, King Lucifer, and the Twin Princes, Ethan, and Dominick Morning-Star. "Stop in the name of the Royal Family. Demon, present yourself before the king." 

Turning around, I continued to focus on the lock, now facing the king and his sons, I got a good look at the twins, Dominick had light brown hair, in which a small golden crown was rested, with pitch-black eyes and a slim physique, he was currently wearing brown leather pants with brown boots and a white button-down shirt, and a coat of white feathers. He had the look of a true prince of Purgatory. 

Ethan, on the other hand, had a more modern look. His hair was black, with the sides shaved and the top part slicked up, he had a silver crown with a ruby planted in the middle and diamonds along the bands, he had bright red eyes lined in eyeliner, and an athletic physique, his outfit consisted of black jeans and a black shirt, with a silver tribal wolf howling at the moon, with black, obsidian tipped combat boots, and to finish the look he wore a black leather jacket, with silver metal studs, along the sleeves. Wrapped around his neck were a choker and a leather cord, the choker was mainly black with red and silver weaved in here and there, giving it an almost dark blood color, the leather cord traveled down his neck and disappeared into his shirt. He also had black cuffs around his writs, matching his choker, along with a matching ring on his middle finger.

"I said present yourself, demon." Looking at the guard, who had his sharp, deadly spear pointed at him. A twisting but cool smirk crossed my face as I felt the last pin shift, signaling the lock was finished. I held up my hands, slim yet firm.

"You want me to present myself? Fine, you got what you want." Shrugging off my dark unassuming cloak, the first thing that caught everyone's attention were my wings, pitch glittering black, with shining silver and clear opal armor, covering each and every feather. Then a slim black tail, with a heart-shaped tip, covered in silver and clear opal armor, like his wings. Then, black sharp twisting horns, about an inch long, again in silver and clear opal armor. Ethan looked at me with wonder in his eyes, "What type demon are you?" He asked. "I'm a Siren."

Hearing a gasp, they look towards the king and his youngest son. "A Siren? Are you sure, your not something else?" I looked at King, "No I'm positive, I'm a Siren. Why so scared, Your Majesty." I crooned at the man cowering before me. "Hold up, one minute, What is a Siren, doing in a Purgatory?" Looking at Dominick, I glared at him.

"So the Heir to the throne doesn't even know his thrones history. What a shame." He glared at me, "You know about that?" I looked at Ethan, "About what? That the youngest took the throne away from the oldest? That you were robbed of everything you deserved? Yes, I know about it." Lucifer pointed at me, "Kill him. I want him dead, he is a threat to the Kingdom." The guards looked at me, then nodded. 

"The First Seal is broken." Dominick looked at me, "What do you mean the First Seal has broke? Humans are not ready for the war yet." I looked to Ethan, who looked straight back at me, "You want to be free right? You want to break your chains and prove to everyone that we can fly?" The king looked at me in fear, "You want to take back what is rightfully yours right?" Ethan nodded, anger, and passion in his eyes. "Help me and I can give you everything that is rightfully yours."

"Ethan snaps out of it, this is the Sirens song. Don't listen to him. Brother please." Snapping his head towards Dominick, Ethan glared. "Oh, so now I'm your brother? What about when Mother left us, and I needed you? What about when Father beat me because I wasn't the perfect son? What about when he gave the throne to you? I wasn't your brother then. When you accepted the throne. When you entered our room and saw me on the floor, covered in blood and bruises. You weren't and never will be my brother." Turning towards his father, he pulled out a silver rapier, with a black grip, and small blood-red rubies along the handle. "And you, you don't deserve the crown or throne." 

Looking back at me, "You promise you can give me what I deserve?" I nodded. "Then I made up my mind, I am gonna go with the Siren, and as he said earlier, the First Seal is broken. This means that the Armies of Heaven on already on Earth, so the Armies of Purgatory should soon join them." Turning around he looked at me, "Lead the way out." Moving my hands behind my back I opened the door. 

"Stop them, do not let them leave at any cost." The King yelled. The guards advanced forward. Turning around, I looked at Ethan, "Go ahead, stop the bottom of the stairs and wait for me." Ethan looked ready to argue, only to stop when I glared at him. Once he left, I turned towards the guards. "Pretty bold of you to think you can take us down by yourself kid." I looked up at the demon who stood before me, "The guy on your left, raped your daughters, and killed them along with your wife." Everyone turned towards the demon I looked at, no one noticing my eyes flashing red. 

"Is this true?" The demon smirked, "Hell yea it is. Quite fine young ladies they were, how their screams turned into moans, and their blood. Oh, their blood sweet like app-" Almost instantly they saw a spear in go through his head, black blood everywhere. "I avenged them, tonight." He said, only to be stabbed in the back by another. "You killed my brother, now you will pay for his death." Almost instantly, demon's were killing right and left.

"Next time Lucifer, make sure your army has no blood ties between them." Laughing I left through the door and walked down the small corridor, I found Ethan sitting on the last step of the stairs, wiping his rapier down with a silver cloth and some polish. "If I were you, I would sharpen it before I polish it." Ethan stood up and put his blade under my through. "Why did your eyes flash red after you told Edward what happened to his wife and children?" I started to laugh, "So you saw what happened?" Ethan nodded. "Well let me explain. You know about the curse on the Throne of Purgatory?" Ethan's eyes widen. "I thought that was a legend." I modded. 

"Everything started at with a truth. The only way for something other than a demon, to survive in hell, they need to be one of three things. A Blessed Human, or also known as a Human blessed by an Angel. A Cursed Human, or a Human cursed by a Demon, or a Hybrid, someone with two sets of blood in them. The most common Hybrid is a Mix of an Angel or a Demon and a human. I am a Hybrid of a Furie and Siren." 

Ethan looked at and removed his rapier. "With you having two mothers instead of a father." I nodded, "One of your mothers died giving birth to you and the other left when you were born." I nodded again. "That's it for now, We have to get to the Human World before your Father sends another squadron of demons after us." Ethan nodded and sheath his rapier. "By the way what's your name?" I looked at him, "Midnight, Rose Midnight."
