I knocked on the door and in response, there was a very faint "Come in". I walked into the room, closing the door behind myself "Gamer?" I looked around the room, confused about where the fallen was until he uncloaked himself with his powers "Sorry, nervous habit now" Gamer apologized "It's fine" I assured him as I walked further into the room. "So... why are you here?" Gamer asked, I raised a brow "What do you mean-" "You were pissed off with me last time" Gamer answered as I signed "That was two weeks ago, Gamer" I reminded him. It's been two weeks since the killen attack at Sreeburn city square... that night me and Gamer had to explain to fusion crap to the older councilors, then Skyler passed out from exhaustion from unlocking her powers, going into 'God Mode' for the first time and using most of her energy right after all that crap... and of course after all that, I was still pissed with Gamer at the end of the day. "It wasn't right for me to get so pissed-" "Yes, it was" Gamer interrupted "I used you, went against what I said before about 'putting the deal on hold'- I shouldn't have treated you like an excuse" the fallen looked down at the ground as his phone rang. "Aren't you gonna answer that?" I questioned "No, it's Michael" Gamer told me, folding his arms as the phone stopped ringing, a notification appearing on his phone instead "He texted you?" "Like he always does" Gamer groaned as I walked over to his bed. The fallen's head snapped up "No Death, wait-" Gamer rushed over as I picked up the phone and thanks to his reaction, it encouraged me to quickly unlock the phone, only to be met with a stream of texts:
Michael:
I want to know the truth about
me and Heaven
I'll tell you the next time we
meet, in person
Gamer, please call or text back,
we really need to talk
Please Gamer
Let me at least explain everything
We have a conversation to finish
Gamer
Avoiding me won't help either of us,
please text me back
I stared at the phone as Gamer froze "The fuck am I looking at?" I asked as the fallen struggled with his words. I held up his phone, showing him the texts between him and Michael "What the hell, Gamer- I thought you were done with this asshole-" "I am-" "Oh really? Because this says otherwise" I snapped, the fallen flinched "I thought you weren't still pissed-" "No, I'm absolutely fucking angry- why the hell would you even want to talk to him?! after everything he's done to you?". The fallen was quiet for a bit before he could answer "I asked him to tell me the truth... about why Heaven keeps fighting over me- why they want me so much.... I didn't know that Michael would be here and... as soon as he cornered me and started talking...". Gamer was trying his best to not breakdown and hold tears back "He hadn't changed whatsoever... he lied to me- to my face! He tried to convince me that Hell didn't want me anymore and that I was free to go back 'home' to the silver city...". The fallen leaned against the frame of the bed, now failing in holding back his tears as they uncontrollably ran down his face "He's still the 'prince of lies'... just another manipulator" I shook my head "You should've known that... Michael isn't a person known for telling the complete truth" I told him, harsh anger twisted into my voice. "This is what happens, Gamer... if you stoke a dying fire, it's just gonna help the flames burn brighter" he wiped the tears from his eyes as he looked up at me, watching me toss his phone back onto the bed "That goes for someone's anger as well... I did nothing but tell you the truth" I started. "I even went as far as to telling you my own feelings and emotions- you used my feelings for you as a distraction... just to escape a problem you created" I snapped "Death-" "That 'deal' we both made and agreed to was the only thing that gave me a little bit of fucking hope for something between us" I interrupted him.
"But in the end it's just all about your fucking archangel brother and every fucking thing revolving around you" I could see it in his eyes, hurt and anger "It's not all about me-" "The killens and Grey Leader want me dead, Gamer... just because I'm apparently the only thing 'protecting' you" I reminded him "That's all I mean to them... and I'm starting to feel that's all I mean to you". I walked towards the door "Death-" "No, look in a fucking mirror or something and figure out for yourself what you actually want" I snapped before walking out of the room, slamming the door behind myself right before walking into- "Jadarius?" I looked up at the royal "I came looking for you" he said "You... wanted to see me?" I questioned as he started walking down the hallway. "Yep, now follow me" he called, I signed... following after him.
Two Hours Later
Jadarius didn't say anything other that there was something I needed to see in the 'Torture Ring' of Hell. The 'Torture Ring' is a ring of Hell where most of the human sinners go, living in 'hell loops' until they face something and no longer regret crap... or when they've finally learned their lesson. I'm actually one of the few people who travel between this ring and the first ring of Hell... only because of the few times I got to torture someone or 'design' their hell-loop. While walking down the jaggered corridors, Jadarius handed me a file "I wanted you to look at this file" "Okay?" I slowly opened the file as I continued following Jadarius through the corridors- this file is of a seventeen year old boy? I looked at the list of 'crimes' or 'sins' as most people would call it... vandalism, robbing a service station three times, breaking into houses, stealing cars... to me, that was minor reasons to be in Hell. This kid had run-ins with police almost every week, a fact stated in the file "I don't get it, seventeen year old in Hell for such pathetic crimes-" "Keep reading" Jadarius told me as I signed, eyes going back to the file- I almost choked as I continued to read. Rape of two students about two or three year younger than him, yet there was a third kid he raped after drugging them... the file states the drugged kid choked on vomit and died as this guy left them at a park. But the seventeen year old's cause of death? Accidentally shot in the chest by a police officer after lying about carrying a bomb in his bag... originally as a joke. "This guy is a real piece of work" I commented "But... I don't understand why you're showing me this" I told Jadarius as the royal smirked "Once telling him the he's in Hell, he started getting very worried about a certain person who told him he's be tortured by him once down here" Jadarius stated as he gestured to a door. "Enjoy it while you can" he smirked before I walked into the room... it mimicked an empty police cell, the boy sitting inside the cell was handcuffed- "You've got to be fucking kidding me" I darkly laughed, immediately recognizing the teenager as he started to panic.
"Jace, long time no see" I smirked as Jace backed away from me "You're the guy who threatened me after I kissed that blonde kid-" "You mean after you harassed my friend who was actually an angel?" I corrected him "An a-angel? and you're a demon- I'm seriously in Hell, aren't I?" "No fucking shit sherlock". Jace then starting laughing a bit "Now I get it... he's your angel, isn't he?" Jace cracked a smile as I glared at him "You're upset cuz you've being trying to sin with him-" "No, you are down here for all the pathetic excuse of crimes you've committed including raping and drugging a kid two years younger than you" I snapped. "So what? like a little sex hurt anyone-" "I've got one friend who was almost raped twice and a few friends who were actually raped, I'm not exactly the demon you should be joking about sex to" Jace went dead silent, fear eating at him "Trust me, you're never laughing nor touching anyone ever again after I'm done with you".

I walked down the hallway to Death's room, a little calmed down from earlier. I took a deep breath before knocking on the door yet no answer "Death? It's me... I came to apologize... again..." there was still no answer. I placed my hand on the doorknob and turned it... it's unlocked? I opened the door, peaking in to see no sign of Death. I closed the door, leaning against it "Where is he?" I mumbled to myself before walking towards and down the stairs, only to be met with a guard from Hell's Palace... ever since the killen attack, the royals thought it would be a good idea to post guards here at Enrith Castle so there's little chance of the killens kidnapping a Black Councilor again... which I doubt would work. Yet today's guard was actually one of Jadarius's Threat Wing guards... it's mostly been Eclipse or Beast Wing guards so... why the change? "When did you start being posted here?" I asked the guard "Only today, Councilor Shadow" he answered, a little plus to being a Black Councilor is that you diffidently won't be ignored by anyone, including the guards "Do you know where Councilor Death is?" I asked "Councilor Death is with Prince Jadarius, they left just as I was posted here" the guard answered. "And where would that be?" "I'm sorry Councilor Shadow, I can't give you the location" the guard answered as I angrily signed... guess there is a downside to the truth, but at least the guard is loyal to his word and the royals... but I have other plans. I walked over to the guard, greens burning green as I looked at him in the eyes, innocent smile drawn on my tear-streaked face "You wanna share a secret?" I asked as the guard's face relaxed a bit "What would you like to know?" he asked, lost in my eyes "Tell me where Councilor Death and Prince Jadarius are" "They are in the 'Torture Ring' " he answered. "Thank you" I smiled, walking away into the living room, eyes no longer glowing their toxic green as my smile dropped... why are they in the third ring?

I was sitting in my room, going through a few books that I managed to pinch from the castle library, the books being about different types of magical stones within the realms such as soul stones, god stones, etc. There was a knock at the door "It's open" I answered, looking up to see Skyler "Hey Sky, what's up?" I asked as the emrone demon walked over to me "Nothing really" "I'm quite surprised that you're handling your powers well" I smiled at her, earning a small smile in return "It's easier than I expected" "Well you're certainly doing way better than most demons and devils". Skyler laughed a bit before looking down at the books I was going through "You're reading about stones?" Skyler questioned "Yeah, thought it would be good to be 'up-to-date' which the different things that could be used for or against us" "That's a good idea" Skyler then turned and started walking back towards the bedroom door "But maybe you shouldn't distract yourself with research to avoid the fact that you're a princess". I immediately looked up at Skyler who was already at the door "How did you-" "I'm just good reading people's emotions" Skyler smiled before walking out the door... I haven't told anyone about that yet, about the fact that... I got off the bed, walked across the room and out the door. I walked down the hallway, into the closest bathroom and locked the door before looking at myself in the mirror... this is probably gonna be the worst idea I've ever had.
Six Hours Later
7PM

I just got back from the Torture Ring, darkly satisfied... you wouldn't believe the list of things that human regretted in his past life, yet I was still able to create the perfect hell-loop for him, not my best work but still... that jackass deserves every bit of torture imaginable. I walked into the living room, seeing Akire, Dark, Anti, Skyler and Gamer "Hey... what's going on?" I asked as Anti shrugged his shoulders "Don't know, Angel just texted us all to meet her down here" he answered as I remembered that I left my phone in my room. "Okay...?" Angel's got this thing where if she finds out something or if there's a situation... she'll basically call a bit of a 'group meeting' to tell everyone who is effected by whatever she hears or knows... trust me, this has happened many times before we all got into EU. Angel walked into the room- oh my god... she didn't "What happened-" "Who the fuck cutted your hair?" Akire interrupted Dark as Angel folded her arms "I did" everyone's jaws just dropped except for Skyler "Why?" I asked "Because it was getting too long and felt like a change" Angel answered "But that's not why we're here?" Dark guessed as Angel nodded her head. "Just recently, I've been told something about myself that I never knew before... and I wanted to tell you guys now before you all hear it from someone else" Angel started, immediately earning everyone's attention "I-I... my mother was Grim Reaper's first wife, making me-" "You're a princess?!" Akire questioned in disbelief as my eyes widened a bit... how the hell is this possible? "Unfortunately... yes-" "That means you're now the princess of the Reaper Wing- does that mean you're last name's 'Reaper' now?" Anti questioned while I was still confused about the news I just heard. Gamer walked over to me, seriousness painted on his face "We need to talk" he quietly told me as the others continued to question Angel "Okay-" "In private" he interrupted harshly, nodding his head towards the door.
