Race:fallen angel (yes it a demon)

Class: spell caster but is very skilled with the sword

Status:will take any job (no matter how stupid,perverted,or bloody)

Affiliation: to who has the most money

weapon: Enchanted holy sword that he stole from the heavens before he fell (he uses lighting a lot when using the sword)

Clothing:black and white armor with crimson lines

Appearance:black wing with the ending feathers being white, blue eyes that can turn red when really mad

BackGround: he is a good person but the reason he was kicked out of heaven was because he was framed so something he didn't do (ill let you decide) he is usually found joking around even when he is on mission he takes life with a grain of salt (but there are time when he want to return to heaven)

Did you read the first post opem, cause i asked specifically to keep it simple for this exact reason...and unfortunalty im goin to have to spoil a bit of the storyline to tell you why...

First angels and demons actually arent related at all in this story but i understand why you put it.

Second there isnt a heaven or hell in this story either (although he can still be a "fallen" angel but in a different sense) which again i see why you put it.

Last but not least, angels in this dont have wings like birds or anything, which truth be told i should have explained a little, but then again i asked you to keep it SIMPLE

sorry dude, but either you edit it a little or i'll have to completely re write the story to fit your character in...lol

sorry for the long, LONG wait but ive been suffering from imaginative overdose, which was all directed at other things...XP

Chapter 2: Executions

"Sir Hunt, I need you to sign the final orders for me please"

"Of course herald, but let me see the man first, I want to see what a true heretic looks like," replied the tall, brown haired individual the herald had called Sir Hunt.

"Right this way sir" said the herald, gesturing towards a door that led down a large flight of stairs.

The spiral staircase was unlike anything ever imagined, having been carved from single, huge piece of obsidian glass using magic. It was one of the few remaining structural pieces left behind of the Regency. Originally the staircase of a Mage's Tower, the last one to be destroyed in the uprising. All but the staircase was destroyed. This history was played through Hunt's head everytime as he was awed by the sheer majesty the staircase conveyed.

As he reached the bottom of the staircase, two Martyrs appeared to escort Hunt to the man he wished to see. They were both men judging by their build and were both very broad. They both carried their shields strapped to their shoulders with a leather strap, with which they seemed like large metal pauldrons. The moved in a silent, focused manner as did all Martyrs. They guided Hunt down a series of craved stone tunnels until they reached their destination.

Hunt could smell the cell long before he could see it. A sharp metallic smell permeated the entire area and seemed to irritate his nose. By the time they reached the cell Hunt was feeling nauscious. He winced as he heard the screams coming from the other side and did everything in his power to not vomit. He knew what they did was for the good of the people but he felt it was wrong.

"Open the door, I wish to see the prisioner" demanded Hunt, trying to garner up as much authoritive airs as possible.

"I'm sorry sir, but you can't go in their as he can still use magic, sir. He would kill you" replied one of the Martyrs in a manner of fact tone.

"How dare you! I'm Sir Daniel Hunt and I must see the prisoner" shouted Hunt as he reached for the door.

The following events unfolded in a blur to Hunt. AS he approached the door the screaming inside fell silent and the only noise heard was the rustling of chains. Hunt hesitated and stepped back, and as he did a hissing bubbling sound started coming from the room. The Martyr turned, drew their swords and lowered their shields onto their forearms ready to be raised. They approached the door until the hissing grew louder, and the door began to glow. The Martyrs looked at each other and raised their shields, just in time to catch the force of the molten remains that was the door. Hunt had managed to jump back away from the second wave of molten metal, this time from the chains, as it came flying out of the room. One of the Martyrs wasn't so lucky though and he screamed in pain as some of the metal managed to splash through the slits in his armored faceplate. He screams were largely ignored as the remaining two turned their attention to the ominous sounds coming from the room. Heavy breathing coupled by a strange eeriy tinkling sound were coming from the shadows at the back of the room.

The Martyr moved towards the door and whispered something to himself, pulling his sword arm in towards his chest, with the blade passing in front of his mouth and nose. He finished whispering to himself and kissed his blade on either side and with a sudden movement he charged into the darkness. Hunt couldn't see him but could hear him and the clash of metal on metal. The screams of pain and the screechs of something unhuman in nature. The dull thudding noise of fist on flesh and the resonating drum like noise of shield parries. This state must have lasted for a few minutes until the noise stopped and a red glow began emanating from the darkness. Hunt shyed back, without a sword or armor he'd be hard pressed to fight if needed, but he did have his gauntlets. He braced himself for whatever was to come next.

"Impossible!" said a woman in a black coat.

"So you felt it too?" said an elf wearing a small green headband.

"They can't have summoned one of them here could they?" replied the woman.

"I don't know Oblivia but I think we should try and find out." said the elf, moving in a more hurried pace past the empty gallows.

"You're right Laughlin...you're right"

[Dark Rabbit Jin]

[† Anras Rune]

Sorry for the delay again folks but I got sidetracked by my mum's recent admission into hospital. Heres the chapter and enjoy! ^^

Chapter 3: Confrontation

Hunt had edged slowly to the side of the doorframe, trying to get something solid in the path whatever it was that was inside. He had heard the sounds of screeching metal and an unpleasant odor was pouring out of the dark cell. A smell that made Hunt want to vomit. Yet he knew what the smell was. It was the rancid, metallic smell of human entrails.

"Shit, this thing is eating that poor Martyr" exclaimed Hunt to no one in particular, struggling to keep his stomach from turning itself inside out. His had moved further down the wall, debating whether to run to the Martyr guardpost that he passed earlier, when entering the catacomb-like dungeon. He thought of the consequences it would have on his reputation if the people knew he had run away from a foe. Instead he decided to do something stupid.

"Come on you stinking piece of shit!" screamed Hunt at the top of his lungs, waving his arms at the darkness, livid at the situation he had put himself in. He could hear the shuffling noise he thought meant ,whatever the thing inside was, had turned to face him. He felt a tickle run down his spine, like a cool breeze had just blown throught the dungeon. He could hear the chains scraping along the floor, apparently dragging something fleshy considering the noise that were all to audible.

Hunt braced himself for an onslaught of stinking, ravenous destruction, yet nothing happened. He could hear the thing inside sniffing like a dog, obviously trying to get a hold of a scent it had picked up. It's snorts were short yet loud, and sounded like they were loaded in mucus. The noise put it's head at roughly 8 feet by Hunt's calculations. Not something you want to be fighting in the dark without any weapons he thought to himself.

A howl came from inside the cell and the creature threw something at the wall next to Hunt, caving it in. Hunt looked to see that it was the half chewed corpse of a Martyr, but he wasn't sure it it was the one from before, or one of the torturers. It's entire bottom half had been sheared off by the creature and the metal breast plate seemed to have been gouged open by a claw. The whole scene was as gruesome as it was sobering, yet Hunt was frozen to the spot.

He heard a pair of voices moving towards him in the darkness and saw a small hovering light. Just as they rounded the corner the creature smashed through the doorway, taking a huge chunk out of the crumbling wall and bounded with a strange gait towards the newcomers.

The creature was a huge beast, humanoid in shape yet with a notably different structure. It's back was covered in matted fur and the head had a pair of large ethereal horns on top. The horns were gnarled and twisted, similar to a rams horn, but they seemed unsubstancial, like they weren't there. They were glowing a soft red as well, compounding the surreal sight even more. As the beast charged towards the pair, one of them flicked out their arm and threw a small ball of glass that was glowing a faint purple. She yelled in a language familiar to Hunt, yet not known.

"ARHOSI!"

When the scream reached the small glass ball, that hadn't strayed from it's path in the slightest, moving in a straight line, it glowed bright with a brillant purple light flooding the tunnel. The light then pulsed again to reveal an archaic circle laden with runes of holding and binding. Hunt recognised this as external magic, where the user stores power in an object and cast's a spell using it which was very difficult to do. The beast collided with the circle in a flash of blinding light, and a thundering boom resonated throughtout the tunnels, causing Hunt to dive to the floor and more than a few loose rocks to fall from the ceiling. The creature had been knocked back, despite it's mommentum, and was stunned on the floor. The second figure seemed to prance up to the creature with a face of horrible glee and swung it's glowing staff at the creatures head. As it flew throught the air the staff caught fire, burning a bright white flame, and the force of the swing caused an explosion on impact.

By the time Hunt could see again the pair had gone. He looked to see that the beast was dead and found it gone. Where it had been lying was a man, or at least the corpse of a man as he was missing a large chunk of his skull. The rest of it seemed to be splattered all over the tunnel ceiling and walls, or pooling inbetween the cracked floor. The entire area seemed scorched as well, added a sooty finish to the smell of burning flesh and fresh blood. Hunt blacked out soon after.

"Well that was reckless!" said Oblivia in an out of breath voice.

"True, but we got the essence didn't we? It was worth it." replied Laughlin in a calmer, more composed voice.

"Yes, but what of the man in the tunnel? Do you think he saw us?"

"Of course he did, but no matter. If something comes of it I'll take care of him myself.
