Angels were always amongst us. They had observed and protected
us from the evils that tried to corrupt us. We never saw them, but we could feel
them. Every bad thought that entered our heads, every bad deed we ever intended
to commit, the angels reworked them. They tried to convince us of the true dark
nature of those thoughts. They were always our protectors, and we never even
knew it. If you've ever had a person who you just felt absolutely safe with,
someone you just knew was pure, they were an angel.
Not all angels could take on a physical, human form. It took
years of practice in making their forms visible to the naked eye, and only those
who could focus all of their energy into their power could master it. They could
not maintain their human forms for long periods of time, but the longer they've
been training, the longer they could stand. Some angels, surprisingly enough,
were born with the ability to show a physical form. These angels were capable of
both using their physical form, and their angel powers in unison, something that
even angels with thousands of years of experience could not quite master. These
angels were born very few, perhaps only a dozen in the angels history, and more
than one was never born within the same century.
Angels age just the same as humans. Each year, they get older,
bigger, taller, just like the average person. Of course, angels have their
exceptions. One of the angels most common abilities, would be to stop their
aging. Angels could live as long as they wished, and at any given time, they
could choose to stick to one permanent age. Once the aging process was stopped,
it could not be started again, and the angel would be stuck with that body and
mind set as long as they were capable of living. Some angels, of course, decided
never to stop their aging. Some wanted to connect with humans, and figured the
easiest way, would be to grow with them. Though, they were not aware of the fact
that if they aged as humans, they would die as humans. If they didn't stop aging
by a certain point in their lives, they would become mortal, and thus, die as
one. The only exception to this rule, would be the Elder's Council, who made all
important decisions for the angels.
Angels were born with natural abilities. Ones that they could
use to free the humans from their evil thoughts. They were not true mind
readers, as they could not pin-point every thought within a person's mind, but
they were capable of locating all negative and possibly dangerous thoughts.
Their downside to this ability would be the fact that they cannot simply choose
a human and read their thoughts. These kind of thoughts would just drift into
their minds, and they would have to use their other abilities to solve the
issue. The only way they could read a specific person's mind of their own will,
would be if they established a connection with that human. They also have the
ability to inject thoughts and ideas within a person's mind. Again, to only go
to a specific person, the angel and human must have a connection. This power is
generally used within a group of humans, spreading the thought into the air,
which would then affect the human's way of thinking.
Angels are very pure creatures, but they are not incapable of
being corrupted, as well as humans. They are just born with a natural resistance
to that corruption, and they spread that with the humans. What the angels were
not aware of, was with every thought they sent, and every person they saved from
corruption, they lost a little piece of their resistance. Because of this, some
angels would find that when they tuned into humans dark thoughts, they were
being bogged down by them. Their sense of wrong and right would be severed with
every human they saved. This would soon lead to some angels falling into the
dark path that they had been trying to help the humans avoid.
Over the years, many angels have fallen victim to this
corruption of this darkness. Of course, the Council has downplayed this in hopes
of keeping their Kingdom a safe and calm place. The thing is, the number of
these corrupted angels has made the regular angels jobs much more difficult.
These angels are no longer protecting humans from the darkness, but are now
leading them towards it. They have the same abilities as the good angels, and
thus can use their powers for their own accords. This puts the Earth in
jeopardy, as these corrupted angels can use the humans natural urges for evil to
their advantage, giving them an edge against the good angels.
After years had passed, the corrupted angels had managed to
make the good angels job nearly impossible, and soon enough, they began to fight
the good angels directly. They felt that their existence was no longer needed,
and thus acted to remove the good angels from Earth. This erupted in a war
between the two angel sides, who by this point had been labeled as "Angels of
Darkness" and "Angels of Light". The Angels of Light were not fond of using
their powers for the harm of any other creature, especially those of their own
kind. Despite that these angels had traded sides, they were familiar with one
another, some of them were loved ones and friends. This put the Angels of Light
at a greater disadvantage.
As the war raged on, more Angels of Light were corrupted, and
though some tried to stay true to their Kingdom, the majority were converted to
the side of the Angels of Darkness. Years went on, and the Angels of Light grew
outnumbered by the new Angels of Darkness, forcing them to retreat back into
their kingdom. This lead to the humans of Earth falling into the darkness that
the Angels of Light had tried for so many centuries to protect them from.
This is not to say all humans are corrupted. There are few
humans that were born with the natural resistance against this darkness. This
happens within one of two cases: either the human is the product of an Angel of
Light and another human, or that they were given 'the gift' by an Angel of
Light, which would protect them from the darkness.
For many years, Earth has been watched from above by the
Angels of Light, who are unable to successfully make an appearance on Earth, as
the Angels of Darkness could sense them. During these years, the Angels of
Darkness encouraged the dark thoughts within the humans mind, and Earth has
turned from a haven, into a circle of blackness. This was the way the three
beings existed, and it was how it seemed it would always remain...
