Chapter 16

It’s funny the things that people think they know about angels and demons, and about how their world works. There are so many stories, so many things that make up the world I live in. To be a part of Hell is to be part of a caste system, a place where you have to decide if you want to have power or if you want to suffer for not having it. There are Kings, Queens, Princes, Dukes, Earls, Sins, and so many more. There are kingdoms, there is the Abyss, there is the level of Treachery, and there is the Eternal Lake of Fire. It is a world of darkness, a world of pain, and a world of lies.

~Luther Craig, the Demon of Lust~

Marcas

It seems a grand thing to be asked to stand before God, as if there should be this huge ceremony, leagues of angels surrounding you as you enter the great gates.

It was nothing like that.

I simply flew upward, past stormy apocalyptic lightning and lava-filled fissures toward the sky, toward the otherworld veil between Heaven and Earth that only those with divine and demon blood could pass through. Humans would never know it existed.

Upward I went, past the third level of Heaven and into the second, a place just as beautiful as the third level, only without the cruelty. It was the home of the Dominions, Virtues, and Powers. These were the angels who presided over nations, miracles, and history. Even so, I never set eyes on one, their absence more disconcerting than the angry mobs I’d expected.

My jaw tensed as I entered the first level, the home of the Seraphim, the Cherubim, and the Thrones. These were the angels Lucas and Sophia had once been a part of, the perfect beings who worked directly with God.

“Marcas,” a voice called.

I landed among a world of light. Heaven wasn’t the streets of gold and large mansions that many humans thought it was. It was a breathtaking, glorious stretch of silver and white spirits, of happy memories, of love and comfort. Even as sullied as my soul was, my heart hurt to see it.

“Marcas,” the voice called again.

It echoed, surrounding me, digging into my skin and down into my soul, and it burned.

“I should kneel,” I called, “but I’m not sure who I’m supposed to kneel before.”

A great blinding light appeared before me, so massive and bright I had to look away.

“It’s confusing,” His voice answered, “when there is so much conflict in your blood.”

“Tell me,” I asked. “Why did you call me?”

“Ah,” the painful voice answered, “I received your request, and I’ve accepted it. You have full permission to take care of Sophia.” He moved toward me. “I have to admit the two of you have caused me quite a bit of trouble, especially you.”

My eyes remained on the ground, the sound of his voice causing my teeth to clench. “You’ll have to excuse my response, but I’m not sure what you want from me. I’d ask you for forgiveness, but I think my kind is beyond that.
