I

" Rise, my child..."

I opened my eyes, woken from a dream. A false dream lasting 20 years...

They revealed a world unfathomable to my mind. A vast expanse of white stretching as far as my vision could reach with a gaping hole in front of my body.

A golden glow to everything. As if the entire thing was a halo.

I turned back to the man who was my supposed predecessor as I bowed instinctively and felt my back ache, taking authority over my other senses.

And just then, I felt intense pulses radiating from my clavicles as I grunted in pain.

" Damn this hurts" A thought surfaced.

My eyes took note of the hair that fell within sight as I struggled to get my wings out.

They were white, just like the plain I was present in.

And the man before me, had a well built physique with a stern face stuck on.

Like looking at a disappointment...

And he had something to say as he spoke," Kid, just don't fail. Hell is a pretty bad place for a girl like her. For anyone in that matter. So don't rush. Take your time and you'll clear the obsta-"

" Tch. He ticks me off..." I was freed as I looked at my wings, feeling their soft texture and knew how it was also the same colour as my hair.

Just a bit darker.

" I won't and you know it. So don't jinx the reason of my entire existence by dooming it at the start. And what's with that hair? Looks like you're going bald soon. Get some supplemental supplies, Sir." I clicked my tongue and I'm sure I made a smirk at him with this sarcastic comeback.

He looked at me sparingly with a death stare as I came onto my feet.

" Better watch yourself, bastard." The man before me sighed.

" Just go die for all I care"

I leaned and looked down at the light from below.

In an unknown part of the world, an unknown land, unknown customs.

Yet I know how to blend. To adapt. And hopefully how to dive bomb into the city from a world I've only seen in my dreams.

And all I have are this bare body, my ashen wings and a mission to keep a girl alive.

And to keep her away from the Devil. The catch being I don't even know her.

I let the thoughts float around as I stretched a leg out into the pathway into the new world.

" Your powers won't work three days from now. Good luck with that." He yelled as I jumped off with I'm assuming a maniacal grin on his face.

And that was the beginning of my miserable life, starting with a plummet to my death, screaming curses at the man who walked away as the halo like realm dissolved into the sky.

" oh f*ck"
