Prologue
Lucius: I'm going to kill the both of you!!
The black and white haired was pinned to the ground by Gabriela's foot as she struggled to break free. Her eyes were shedding tears at the sight she had just witnessed.
Ruby was stunned by the loss as she simply stood there with her arms shaking. She looked at the blade of her scythe to find blood.
Ruby: I-I killed them...
(Y/N: Snap out of it! You weren't the one in control of your body!
Salem simply let out a smirk as three orbs floated above her hand. One was colored orange, the next was colored blue, and the last was red.
Lucius: Give them back!!
Salem: *small laugh* Very well.
The with then released the orbs, although they simply vanished into thin air before all three of them scattered into different directions.
Salem: Find them yourself.
Lucius simply continued to lay there as the three souls were out of reach.
Lucius: T-they saved me from my suffering... And now... You have taken them from me!
The fallen angel began to change as her wings began reveal themselves along with her appearance changing into something more demonic than angelic. Her eyes have turned pure black and her nails grew into sharp claws as her skin began to turn grey.
Salem: *chuckle* As expected of a subject created from me.
Lucius: You didn't create me... You killed my other self!!
She broke free from her hold and began to charge at Salem.
(Y/N): Wait!
You tried to stop the black and white haired woman but Ruby grabbed ahold of your arm. You turned back to find her in the same state as she was before.
Ruby's lifeless eyes sent chills down your spine as she held Crescent Rose in the other hand.
(Y/N): Not again...
Blake suddenly jumped into the fray as she kicked the red cloaked girl away from you. The scythe wielding teen fell unconscious from the surprise attack.
(Y/N): You shouldn't be here!
Blake: Neither should you.
A loud crash was heard as Lucius destroyed a building.
Gabriela: I'm leaving...
The former messenger suddenly vanished as she lost interest in the battle. Salem did the same to let you and the others know defeat.
Lucius let out a deafening roar as she fell to the floor, crying for her loss.
You were about to approach her but you felt Blake grab your arm. You looked back at her to find her suddenly shaking in fear after everything that has happened. You simply pulled her into a hug, which she gladly returned, as the both of you stood in the remains of the battlefield.
(Y/N): We should find the others...
You looked up into the cloudy sky to find that your group was in the eye of the storm. Your area may have calmed but the rest of the surrounding city is caught in a storm.
(Y/N): *in thought* In one night... Everything changed... How did it even come to this?
Six Months Before The Fall
Salem: We've arrived...
Cinder: Are we really going through with this?
Salem: You may stay out here if you'd like. The others stayed behind for this reason.
Cinder simply sighed before following close behind the woman. The both of them walked through a ruined temple with statues that resembled angels.
Eventually, they arrived in a large chamber that contained a large sarcophagus.
Cinder: So... Why are we reviving a legend?
Salem: Once she was called The Messenger, delivering humanity a warning of an incoming war. Everyone laughed at her words while she wept in sorrow. Once the war was over, the people realized their mistake and built a city as a way to ask for forgiveness... To this day nobody knows if she forgave humanity, even after her resting area has been tainted by the blood of grimm...
A loud rumbling can be heard as the sarcophagus began to slowly open.
???: Who and what are you....
Salem: ... An ally, Gabriela the Messenger. My name is Salem.
???: ... I'm no longer a messenger... They laughed as I gave them warning.... Whatever story you have heard about me, they were wrong....
A figure slowly rose from the stone coffin as bright white and golden wings suddenly appeared. A hooded woman looked at Salem, her face slowly fading from a skull to a normal facial figure.
Salem: ... How about an Angel of Death?
Gabriela: ... Yes...
The woman's bright dress quickly darkened and changed into a black hooded robe. Her wings and hair remained bright as she kept her hood down.
Gabriela took one look at Cinder before slowly approaching.
Gabriela: Interesting... You have half of a maiden's power....
She brought a hand to rest on the black haired woman's head, only for Cinder to sneer in anger. Gabriela kept her hand remaining on Cinder's head before slowly removing it.
Gabriela: ... No... Not yet...
Salem: Now, we have business to discuss.
The angelic woman nodded as Salem led her out of the temple.
To be continued...
Quick A/N: In case any of you haven't noticed, you will be paired with Blake in this story.
