History:____Centuries ago, in the land of Mordah, there came to the lands a ghastly war. Blood-curdling screams, the clashing of swords, the pain drenched cries of the wounded, and the sobbing of those who had seen such carnage, had been all that one could hear. Both Heaven and Hell were in an uproar upon earths fragile soil, a crusade of the empires, a fight for territory, and life.
____ In the midst of the blood and death, there were healers. Lillith Vangarette, a beautiful Angelic woman, had been one of these healers. She had not always been an Angel. She like so many others, had earned her wings through mortal life. Lillith had gracefully made her way through the flying swords and bodies, over the corpses that lay bleeding and decaying on the ground, to those who she could heal, those who still had a glimmer of life force to them. After months of doing this, she had finally become sickened of all the death. For this had been the final death. Death for an Angel, or Demon, means oblivion.
____ As Lillith was healing a brother Angel, she heard a pain filled groan behind her. She turned about to find a Demon, to the point of death. To Lillith’s dismay, she recognized this beast to be her once Angelic brother, Marchosias, that had been cast into the pit. Seeing the pain in his eyes, the love that arose in the blackness of his pupils, she could not leave him there to perish. She could not give her brother this fate, the oblivion. So there it had been, Lillith had healed her brother; her brother Angel, her brother Demon.
____ The war slowly subsided. Tiny battles would break out in certain areas of Mordah, though the war had ceased for the time being, due to both sides having few warriors to fight it. While the pit of Hell had been calm for a time, regrouping for another wave of attack, the Heavens were in an uproar over one Angel in particular. Some could be heard muttering about Lucifer, and how the situation seemed all too familiar.
____ “Lillith Sentarian Vangarette, must be torn from these skies. Her fate is to be banished from these glorious Heavens. Though, we have agreed that banishment from the Heavens, and unto the pit is too harsh a punishment for her sin. She has betrayed her wings, and for this, Manu, Angel of fate. You shall determine what is to be done. This is your duty. Blessed be you and your decision.” The look on Vatale’s face was that of sadness. He stepped back into the circle of the High Council, and let Manu take his place in the middle of the circle.
____ “Lillith Sentarian Vangarette, Angel healer, sister to brother Assiel, Demon Marchosias, shall be cursed with the fate of banishment from the Holy Heavens. With this banishment, comes eternity upon earth. Doumah, Angel of silence and the stillness of death, take your place, and dictate her punishment of fate.” Manu stepped back into the circle, as Doumah took his place in the center.
____ “I, Doumah, have been chosen to set due punishment unto Lillith Sentarian Vangarette. For the sin of Treason to the Holy Heavens, betraying her wings, I give forth the punishment of silence. Lillith Sentarian Vangarette will there forth, upon earth, be mute as the still forest, and hear only what amount of love a demon feels in their hearts of pitch. Her eyes shall see only the blackest of night. This is your punishment Lillith Sentarian Vangarette. Arial, Angel and sender of spirits to eternity, Heaven, and Hell. Step forward to the Angel child, and deliver her from our presence.” Doumah stepped back into the circle, as Arial once again took his place.
____ “Lillith Sentarian Vangarette, we say our blessings upon your soul. May our blessed Father have mercy on your spirit Sister Angel.” Arial closed his eyes, and began to chant softly, raising his hands high. Lillith kneeled before Arial in the center of the circle, as she had been all along. Thousands of Angels surrounded them, to see her fate. A single tear streaked down her cheek, as all that she knew, faded into a dying nothingness.
____ It seemed an eternity before Lillith could feel anything under her feet, her fingertips. Silence is all that she heard, blackness is all that she saw. Left, with only her memories.............
____ Hours later, of wandering aimlessly in the darkness of her curse, there came a gentle hand to her shoulder. A voice had then come to her mind, that of an Angel. Of course, Mahzian, the Angel of sight.
____“Take my gift my beautiful Angel, for I know your heart is true. This is all that I can give, I care not my punishment. See the beauty before you my dear Sister. Be free of the darkness that befalls your eyes” With those words, Lillith’s sight slowly began to become clear. The colors of the forest surrounded her. Gardens as beautiful as Eden, trees billowing in the wind. A clear water stream before her, only feet away. She sobbed. For she could see such beauty, yet her ears could not hear the sweet sound of it, her lips not describe the love inside of her heart. Cursed was she, and cursed...she be.
