POV: Unknown
I watched through a cloud of magic as the Guardians told the new generation of Guardians their new life. I shook my head and was about to turn away when I saw something. A flicker of a halo. I felt the feelings that were the perfect breeding ground for confusion, regret, anger, jealousy, and hate blossom up from a certain little Savior.
I smiled my fanged smile and thought to myself, "Perfect, the plan has been set into motion."

POV: Ophiuchus
I sat there in fear gripping to my only friend, Aqua. "Ouch. Could you loosen up your grip?", I looked down. I was digging my nails into Aqua's arm, "Oops! Aha, sorry about that." I let go.
"Let's go see how Sagi is doing." Aqua offered me his hand. I took his hand and I stood up. We walked o ear to Sagittarius' room.
About an hour before, Pisces had run into the classroom. It turned out that Sagittarius had started glowing and was disappearing even faster than she was before. The teachers took care of it luckily. Now we are allowed to go and visit her.
We walked over to her room and Aqua peeked in. He turned around a bit flustered, "Yeah, I don't think she's taking visitors right now." I raised an eyebrow, "Pisces?" He nodded, "Pisces." I shrugged and started to pull him across the hallway, "That's okay! Let's go to the best place in the house!" Aqua regained his positive attitude, "The library!" His entire figure just seemed to light up at the word. I sighed, it was one of the many reasons why I adored him.
I followed behind him. When we made it to the library we were both skipping happily. I looked at Aquarius, "Should we look up Abaddon? So we know what we'll have to go up against?" Aqua nodded, "Good idea, I'll take the left side you take the right." I gave him two thumbs up and walked over to the A's section.
I climbed up onto a ladder to start from the top. It didn't take long at all for me to find what I was looking for, Abaddon the Angel of the Abyss. I grabbed it and flew down to a table. I opened it to a random page.
Abaddon's powers consist of controlling chaos, visiting dreams, shape shifting, mind manipulation, and talking in his victim's minds. DO NOT look him dead in the eyes, that will give him full control over you irreversibly. He feeds off of negativity and hate.
I marked the page with a piece of paper and decided to find Aqua. He was sitting on a windowsill reading a book. "Anything?", He asked me. I nodded my head and showed him the book. He put his gently aside and took it from my hands. I shivered as his fingers brushed mine, ever so slightly. He looked through the first couple of pages. I watched his face change expressions slightly as he continued to read.
Taurus's cry for dinner. Aquarius handed me the book and we started to head down for dinner. "What do you think we could do to defend our realms when the time comes?" I asked Aqua. He looked up at me, "The book I was reading was about the weapons of legend. There are 14. The names of the angelic ones are Angelus Mundi, Angelus Gladio, Archangelum Mundi, Michael Lancean, Et virga Aaron, Baculo Mosis, and Michael Est Gladio. Those will be the weapons you Angels will be handling. These will be for us Demons Framea de Lucifero, Anti-sors Gladio, Cicatrix Daemonium Scriptor, Arma Diaboli, Rebellionis, Illae Lacrimae Diaboli, and Mediae Miserias Devoluti. They all have complicated names, but they all have nicknames for the deeds they have done in the past."
I nodded, "Then if they're legendary, that must mean that they are nearly impossible to find." Aqua nodded, "That must be apart of our training, actually finding our weapons. You see, one of the weapons will be meant for each of us. They will shape to benefit us." I nodded my head.
We made it to the dining room. I sat next to Aqua (of course), who sat in front of Gemyni. I tried to talk to Aqua about the weapons, but he just sat there with his face in his hands looking at Gemyni. Every time I said something important he would just nod his head and say, "Sure, sure. Whatever you say." And continue staring at Gemyni. Every time she said something, she would have his full attention. This cut deep. It wasn't that I wanted him to myself, no no no! It's just, I'm an introvert and he was the only one who realized that I wanted a friend. He was my only friend, but apparently, that friendship meant NOTHING to him!
I could feel anger bubbling up. I took a deep breath and remembered what the book said. I tried talking to Cancer, who was on the opposite side of me. He was the first one I talked to. He wasn't that bad, maybe I wouldn't be as alone as I thought I would be without Aquarius.
After dinner, I went up to my room to my snake, Izzy. She was pure white with red eyes. She had two kinds of poisons, her left side fang helps with a night of peaceful sleep, and the right side makes sure that when you go to sleep you never wake up.
I got ready for bed. When I was done I took Izzy out of her cage. I usually let her sleep with me. I tapped her head lightly, a signal for her. She opened her mouth and bit down on her left side. I gave her a treat and let her curl up next to me.
I started to feel the effects take place, and I drifted into a peaceful slumber.
•••••••••••••
I was drifting through the darkness. I tried to move, but I was unable to. I looked around me for any sense of where I was going. There was none. I was just floating alone through a void of nothingness. I decided to close my eyes and just relax. I'm sure it's nothing too bad.
I felt an enormous amount of heat and opened my eyes. I was chained to the floor of a chamber to keep me from floating away. I looked around at my surroundings. It was like the ruins of a throne room. There were pieces of stone everywhere from the crumbling walls. I looked above the walls to see that there was nothing but these ruins surrounded by black and blue fire floating through an endless black and red swirling void. In the middle of the throne room was a red carpet that led up at a throne. I gasped. The throne was made from human bone, and the cushions were Angelwing feathers. I looked closer at the carpet and paled. It wasn't carpeted at all, but the leather from Demon's wings stained red from blood.
All of that was mortifying, but it couldn't compare to the figure that occupied the throne. Abaddon. He towered at 50 feet easily. He had a ragged black cloak on. His long and spindly fingers gripped the hilt of a ten-foot scythe blade. I could barely see his full figure. His skin was a rock; in the cracks, lava glowed. This wasn't normal lava though, it was black like tar and when it sprayed up, it turned blue.
His wings burst forth. I felt my jaw drop. They were Angel wings, only the feathers were burned to a crisp. He flew towards me. Oh shit. He was A LOT taller up close. We were face to face. His hood had flown back and I could see his face. His horns came out from the side of his head and curved back. He smiled. He had fanged teeth that dripped with lava. God, I hope that's lava. (I realize that the picture doesn't look much like it, I wanted to give you a feel for the height.)
He gently took my chin in his hand and lifted my head to look him in the face, "Child, do you know why you are here?" I shivered at his voice. It was deep and smooth, not something I expected him to sound like. I shook my head. "Hmm, you do not need to fear me yet. I have no intention of hurting you for you have not given me a reason to." I sighed a breath of relief. He backed away and studied me, "You are aware that you are only seeing this through a dream, yes?" I nodded my head. "Ah good. Well, you are here for a reason, which I am about to tell you."
He pulled something out of the air. "This is Chaos Bringer. It will be your weapon. It doesn't work on me, but I can easily wipe out your friends." He handed me a scythe blade with a handle. It glowed evilly. He turned to face me, "Oh, and one more thing. I need you to look me in the eyes." I started to panic, I cannot give him control, but what would happen if I didn't? I started to look up, the others will find a way to bring me back, I trust them. "Good girl. Now, you will be The Abyss's voice among the little saviors."
I hope that lives up to the other chapters! Bye!
