-1 An Angel reborn

'A dark swamp', this is the best way to describe the place that Lucius finds himself in. Stuck inside this place for exactly 66 days, but felt like an eternity when alone.

'When will I ever be able to leave this rotten place?' Lucius depressingly thought, before he started to remember what he did, and how he got here.

—

Lucius was one of the highest ranking Angel, a Seraphim. He, like the others, saw their Father, and creator, as the one that was always right. But, as time went on, he saw the flaws of his Father. He saw how he contradicted himself.

His Father, The Biblical God, believed that the only way to let humans grow was by throwing challenges their way, to make things difficult for them, to allow them to grow their the hardships. But, at the same time, he made it to when an Angel did something 'wrong' or 'bad', he would punish them by 'falling from grace', or in other words, disowned them.

Frustrated, Lucius took advantage of the time when his big brother, Lucifer, betrayed their father to steal one of the most dangerous systems inside Heaven, along with a sacred gear, and escaped from Heaven. But, he didn't expect for God to already know of his plan, leading to thousands of Angels hunting him down.

After a difficult struggle, he managed to escape. But, not without any sacrifices, as he lost his left leg in the process of escape.

One thing led to another, and a war broke out between Angels, Fallen Angels, and Devils. And, during this war, Lucius became known as the Unholy Fire Lord, a being hunted by all three races.

Slowly, but surely, Lucius started to grow weaker, until finally, God appeared before him, and spoke these words, "You were the third to realize that Angels were my Perfect Imperfect creations..." before everything went dark.

——

And, now, Lucius finds himself inside this dark gloomy place, alone.

As time went on, Lucius started to study on the knowledge on Human, Devil, and Elven, magic. From basics to advanced knowledge, theory, and more.

Slowly, he lost track of time. And, before he knew it, a total of 192 days had passed.

Before he could process what was happing around him, a suction force started to drag him towards an opening. Slowly, but surly, Lucius started to see a bright red light getting bigger, or closer, as he was getting pushed through an uncomfortable tube.

Finally, he passed through the light, and took a deep breath, but instead of a refreshing sensation, came an agonizing pain from his lungs, making him scream.

"Wah~ Wah~"

But, what came came out puzzled him, and made him think something besides knowledge, theory, and more.

'what in the Three Realms was that?!' Lucius questioned the horrific screeches that left his mouth.

"Pass me my baby..." a weak voice rang out, before a pair of hands suddenly grabbed Lucius' body and picking him up. Before Lucius could fully process what was going on, he found himself in the hands of a woman with a pale face.

"I'm sorry, my child, but I'll have to leave you alone with that useless father of yours..." Was all she said, before kissing Lucius in the forehead, and silently passing away.

Seeing as the woman breathed her last, he started to mournfully cry at the lost of a soul pure enough to make him comfortable.
