#zamiel

We did a commission for our very own, Zamiel, to honor the end of Strive's debut comic. If you missed her, and Moli's shenanigans, the comic is over at Zam's gallery:

Everybody knows that hot blue-haired people are the secret societies running the world!

And speaking of wanting to get in on that blue people shouting random B words, a bonus Moli:

And maybe not everybody is on board with this world of work ethic:

Thanks, Zam!

A handful of inspos for Cutthroat bc im still thinking how to have his character make sense.

Alucard has Zamiel listed as one of his name's. "God has told"

Zamiel is also tied to another Biblical name... Samael.

Although many of his functions resemble the Christian notion of Satan, to the point of being sometimes identified as a fallen angel,[5][6][7]:257–60 in others he is not necessarily evil, since his functions are also regarded as resulting in good, such as destroying sinners.[3]

He is considered in Talmudic texts to be a member of the heavenly host with often grim and destructive duties. One of Samael's greatest roles in Jewish lore is that of the main angel of death and the head of satans. Although he condones the sins of man, he remains one of God's servants. He appears frequently in the story of Garden of Eden and engineered the fall of Adam and Eve with a snake in writings during the Second Temple period.[5] However, the serpent is not a form of Samael, but a beast he rode like a camel.[8] In a single account he is also believed to be the father of Cain,[6][9] as well as the partner of Lilith.

There's the Bird of Hermes from a alchemist scroll and Zamiel... Alucard's creator is incredible in how he weaves all of this together and leaves us wondering.

This au happened right exactly after the Zalduas and Senyora Demotilla pushed Ace after learning their (Ace and Daniella) scheme

This will be in Ace’s POV

I was broken after hearing the words from Zamiel. It fucking hurts. I know it’s not right to lie to someone but I got no other choice. I have to think for myself too. My stepmother deprived me with my parents’ wealth. I might be young but I know, hindi pwedeng walang iniwan sa aking ang magulang ko. Kaya ako pumayag sa inalok ni Daniella dahil kailangang ko ng pera para sa pag aaral ko. Pero ngayon, lahat ng ito nawala na. Ang maipapangako ko lang sa sarili ko ay babawiin ko kung ano ang sa akin.

It was a rough 5 years. My Auntie Tamara helped me in settling in Cagayan Valley, she even to pay my tuition fee but I declined her offer. Dahil siguro sa dami ng nangyari sa akin, mahirap na para sa akin ang mag tiwala. Nevertheless, I took the degree that I want and where I’m passionate about. Architect. Hindi naging madali para sa akin ang pag tapos ng kursong gusto ko, muntik ko na noong tanggapin ang alok na pera ni Auntie Tamara, pero sa huli hindi ko rin nagawa, pero tumira parin ako sa bahay niya dahil hindi ko na siguro kakayanin talaga kung mag rerenta pa ako ng titirhan ko. Nag sikap akong itaguyod ang sarili ko, nag tratrabaho kapag wala pasok, pumasok akong waitress, ang tumanggap ng mga assignment ng mga kaklaseng kong tamad sa pag aaral. And good thing St. Louise University Tuguegarao approved my scholarship request, at least nakabawas ‘yon sa gastusin ko. Ginamit ko ang sweldo kong nakukuha sa pag wewaitress at ibang raket sa school requirements, and so far patapos na ako sa kolehiyo with the highest latin honor pa. This is the time na naaalala ko ang mga magulang ko. At gaya ng naipangako ko noon, babawiin ko ang akin.

Naging mabilis ang pangyayari. After graduation, agad akong lumipad papuntang Middle east para mag trabaho at kumuha ng magandang reputasyon. The three years was like a roller coaster for me, I had my ups and downs, yung point na halos gusto ko na gumive up, but remembering all the pain, nag patuloy ako sa pag susumikap. I met new friends here, the Riegos were good, and hot but definitely not my type. But among them, mas naging close ako kay Vincent Hidalgo maybe because we’re sharing the same passion. The people around would gossip about our relationship but we didn’t care at all, simply because it was absurd, Yes, true like the Riegos, Vincent at good looking too, but he’s just really not my type, he’s just like a brother to me. But what is my type anyway?

“So after this uuwi kana sa Pinas?” Vicent asked me after his speech. Katatapos lang namin ipatayo ang isang 5 star hotel dito sa Dubai. It was the hardest and longest project we had. Dugo at pawis ang inilaan namin para dito, at ngayon, hindi ako makapaniwalang tapos na. Finally

“Not sure, you think I should go home now?” I asked him. He knows my story, hindi ko alam pero isang araw nalang, I found myself telling my story to him. He even suggested that I should go home and claim my parents’ properties, but I told him, I will but not now. 

Now, I don’t know if this is the right time

“Well I think you should, kasi wala ka nang makakasama dito.” I paused at what he said

“You’re going home now?” I asked him. 

“Yes, even the Riegos. I don’t know about Jax though, he got pissed off when we told him to go home with us.” sabi niya habang umiiling. Napatawa naman ako dahil doon. Jax is the last member to our group, he went here the latest.

“So you’ll go and see her?” I asked him, pertaining about this celebrity girl that he’ve been crushing for. 

“Psh. Eh ikaw kikitain mo na ba ‘yong ex-fiance mo?” He shot me back na agad ko naman inirapan. 

“Pwede ba, he’s not my ex-fiance. Ang kulit mo rin no?” I told him, a bit annoyed. 

“Chill, I was just asking.” He said while laughing. Again, inikutan ko nanaman siya ng mata.

The party went well, the boys I’m with are all wasted. These Riegos and Hildalgos are so sure that I will fucking take care of them, kaya pala ayaw nila akong uminow kanina kahit isang baso lang. Kasi kailangan nila ng nanny. So annoying, bakit ba kasi mga walang girlfriend and mga ‘to? oh right, lahat sila sawi sa pag ibig. Kaya kung makainom akala mo wala ng bukas. 

Habang binubuhat ko si Jax papunta sa sofa he’s talking gibberish.

“Fucking shit, talagang mas huk matanda? Sobrang huk tanda? Tangina huk lang, di hamak na mas huk gwapo ako doon.”
