The First Of The Fallen

He needed to make sure that poor girl was back, he needed it to rest, he needed it to stop all of this and do something, anything else with his life. The years had been long, and fighting demons, and creatures, and helping Angels wasn’t something he wanted to do all his life, let alone at all. The circumstances called for it so he follow with the best he could and look where it got him: fighting the first in his living room.

He was going to say more, but instead, he ended up rubbing at his chin for a few moments,  ❝ Very well. You shall have your human back, i’ll do my part to making sure that everyone in the family remembers false memories, but you should be warned, John. Things might not end up the way you like; sooner or later? You’re going to have to make a choice and I do hope it’s a decent one at that. ❞

“What do you WANT from me?”

“I’m not with The Host and what I do is of my own will not that of my Father’s. Though why are you here is a very good question I would like answered. I thought you and your Darling Brothers were downstairs since my brother refuses to rule or return.”

“You know, I can go where I want, and I doubt I could even call them my ‘brother’s’. I came before them all.... I came FIRST.”

“Neither.” He managed to get out with a grunt,  “I was HELPED by a friend; a deal was made, but not by anyone you know. So, does that answer your questions?”

“You can either tell me their name or I send you back; it’s a simple situation, Nergal.”

“Once you reach the void, anything is possible ---- I just seemed to find a few things and had some favors. You would be impressed about what can be done if you know how creation works.”
