The Fall

A shadow darts from the sky into the light, an angel glowing like the stars. His face remains hidden by the his bodies' glow and covered by his hood. The calm is suddenly interrupted by a bolt of fire rushing towards him, a wave of his mighty sword deflects the fire bolt. A cloud burns away as a demon enters the mortal plane. The Demon dives at the Angel with his leathery wings propelling him toward his target. With a whip of his wings the angel dodges the demon. Realising he has missed, he halts and sets his gaze upon the angel once more. He rushes again toward the angel, This time the angel Charges forward to meet the demon in mortal combat. He pulls his sword back, ready to strike at the demon. But before they collide, a sharp pain cuts through the angel's wings. Before he can realise what happened, the demon slams into him. Sending him falling toward a never ending drop. A drop into darkness. As he looks up, he sees his so called "Comrade" holding the bow that shot him down, Shaking hands with the demon. The angel knows what lies below. He knows what awaits him at the end of the tunnel. He knows that he will not like it. But he also knows that before he can rise up again, he must first fall...
