Snippet #1626208

Flying over the forest on silent wings Axle sensed the Angel, it was close, and... there was a human with it. He landed in a tree a few meters away, shrouded by darkness, and listened to the pair. The Angel was speaking, it was a male.

"I'm afraid I've come here for another reason. You see your people, they hate us. They would kill us as swiftly as we would protect them and, I must say, it makes protecting them very hard. We were sent here to destroy the demons that would kill the humans, then we will leave. That is the assignment that the big guy Himself gave us. So I would like to know if you'd like to help us in this quest. You wouldn't have to deal with the demons yourself of course. You'd just help us convince the humans we are here to help you." Axle could hardly keep himself from laughing, stupid Angels, always the hypocrites.

He sat in the tree listening until his patience wore out. Jumping to the ground, he advanced with his scythe draped lazily over his shoulder, and interrupted the human as she clung frantically to the Angel; "How horrible of you Angel, to lie to such a pretty thing..." His crimson eyes raked slowly over her figure. "Everyone deals with demons in this age." Chuckling he leaned against a tree a few feet from them, his eyes still locked on the Angel's. "The only difference between you and I, is that you deny what you need to survive," He pointed to the girl, "Whereas I, well..." His eyes switched to bore into the girl's and he grinned; "...I embrace them."
