gadriel's pov

we walk into Ombravalo. It's the first time I'm in another city. I see people lying on the streets and others giving bread to those in need. "Not the whole city looks like this" Oscure explains"these are the slums. the people who live here couldn't pay the taxes the angels asked from them. They are not even registered as citizen, so if you would murde someone you from the slums it wouldn't be a crime." I'm shocked, my father said our system was built on compassion and hard work now I see it's build on the backs of poor people. "brace yourself" Oscure says "this is where the war begun." he opens the gates and hauls a little kid who wants to run into the city back. He kneel "Not today, okay? tomorrow you can go into the city eliza but you have to wait till we know where your mom is" The little girl nods and sprints back into the slums. I don't see anything special untill oscure claps in his hands and the illusion in front of the real city falls apart. I gasp, The streets are flooded with blood. Several angel arrows are lying all over the streets. Dead people are hanging in the weardest places, someone has even been impaled with a street light but most of them are just lying on the ground. we wade and welter through all the corpses. "where are all the people?" I ask "dead or in lockdown" Oscure says. I can't believe my people did this, I refuse to believe. I stop. "how do I know this is not all an illusion? to turn me against my dad? How do I know this isn't all a big lie??" I draw my sword. Oscures eyes start to turn black as he turns in my direction. He trails his fingers on my blade, he leaves a little black substance what I suppose is blood. His eyes are now fully black and his veins are starting to turn black. He looks intimidating but I don't dare to take any steps back or forwards. He brings his face close to mine and whispers in a deep voice. "I never lie, you still believe we are the bad guys don't you?" My whole body shivers "Look around you, who are the bad guys? Do you see what I see? Do you know what I know? Do you deep down know the angels weren't angels, Do you know they tortured us like demons?" My eyes begin to water, I refuse to believe this, all of this would tear my whole world apart "my father is not a demon" I scream "He isn't but he damn well knows how to play one. Did you see that girl? I will have to tell her your people killed and why did they do that? To get to me. All these death were caused by me. So maybe I'm the devil in your eyes. But that doesn't mean I can't try to make things right. You can try to make things right" I don't know what to do. He walks towards the palace. I don't move anything, I'm not even sure I can. I collapse unto my knees and scream I let everything out.

Oscure pov

I walk into the palace and colapasse unto my knees. I scream, in pain, in agony, in grief. I can't help but feel guilty, if eriftes han't found me then she would be alive. I can't believe the angel doesn't want to believe me. I can't believe all those people who died don't hurt him or maybe they hurt him so much he won't or doesn't want to believe it. I know I need the other if we want to win a war. I hope everyone agrees. I can't bear keeping queit any longer. I want people to scream. I want the people to fight, I want the people to shout, I want the people to see they are worth more.

We are humans, hear us roar.
