Ruby's face was flushed with rosy pink as she stumbled her way through the woods that she swore she knew like the back of her hand, the moon's light her guide through the darkness. Her breath reeked with the sharp scent of alcohol and her steps were more of a shuffle than the confident gait she usually used as she made her way towards her cabin through trees and overgrown shrubbery. She could've taken the nice dirt trail- should've taken it, really. It was free of the traps her compulsively paranoid hands laid along the rest of the forest floor, but she knew where they all were. At least that's what she thought, but alcohol addled brains weren't the best guides and taking the trail would have meant taking a longer, more winding path rather than the straight shot to her home.

She tugged the sides of a loose black coat closer together without actually securing the sides together. It concealed the gun and blessed dagger she always kept on her person. Her eyes squinted forwards, her eyes landing on the cabin she could just barely make out within the dark.

Before she could feel either annoyance or relief, her foot fell in the center of a bundle of chains that were expertly hidden under leaves, and she felt her legs fold from underneath her and her knees press against her chest as chains wrapped around her body in a loose tear drop shaped cage hanging from a sturdy branch. A bell attached to where the chains met the tree jangled to alert their hunter of her catch... which happened to be none other than the hunter herself.

She froze stiff for several long second, her eyes wide as her brain struggled to catch up to her body, but this worked to sober her up rather quickly. "Son of a bitch..." She hissed and pressed her legs outwards against the chains. The bell rattled louder as she struggled, slipping her arm out through a gap within the chains, trying to stretch her hand up high enough to reach the branch where the chain was secured to the tree, "Please, fucking... just..." She huffed in frustration. She grabbed at the silver chains with her other hand, pushing them away from her face as she looked up to the jingling bell -a bell that she had picked out- that seemed to now mock her predicament, "Can you SHUT the hell up!?" She spat at the inanimate object.

She grit her teeth. She wasn't making any progress like this... and to make matters worse the chains were blessed to burn any demonic creature that was unlucky enough to stumble into the trap. It didn't burn her, but it would irritate her skin if left in here long enough, and... well, she wasn't sure how long it'd be until someone found her here.

Arms clutched the precious bundle to his chest, safely wrapped in a blanket and shielded beneath his cloak. They had escaped to the one place he prayed Heaven would not follow. Perhaps it was suicidal, but Lucid knew he could not keep Ruby in the clouds any longer. The Council had made their views clear, they regarded the mysterious baby seraphim as a threat. Whatever plans they had, they were going to take the infant from Lucid, likely to never see him again. The blue dreamer would never allow it, not in this lifetime or the next. He’d come to love and cherish his mysterious little wish come true with all his being, a fierceness that not even the seraphim knew he could feel.

How he wished things could have gone differently, that Ruby could have grown up safe and happy amongst their angelic kin. The next safe haven would have been Earth, but it was only a stones throw from Heaven’s reach. They might have days, a month or two of safety amongst the humans before they were discovered and dragged back. No, the only immediate and sure solution Lucid could deduce was to go into hiding in the depths of Hell. Heaven dared not stray there unless it was for the Exterminations, and those accursed days he could escape to another ring perhaps. Even if the High Council discovered they were down there, it was likely they’d assume both would soon perish to the hands of the Sinners-

-or Him.

In the night Lucid hurried from shadow to shadow, his cloak pulled tight around them both as he headed for the center of Pentagram City. He had hidden his halo and retracted his wings, anything to blend in better amongst the Sinner’s as he sought a safe haven. Heaven’s Embassy was not ideal, but none of Heaven ever used it, nor the Sinners. While Lucid made a better plan, it would have to serve as a temporary refuge for him and Ruby. Feet hurried up the white marbled stairs to the large golden doors, opening them with a creak and disappearing within. Despite the familiar polish and presentation of the building, it was eerily cold and vacant. Every step echoed around them, an empty void of gold and marble. Finding a seat within the vestibule, the blue angel sank down with a sigh. Fingers gingerly lifted the cloak and pulled at the blanket to peek down at his beloved angeling.

Love takes time and love takes work.

At the very least, you have to know the other person....

And you literally have no idea WHO or WHAT I am.”
