(Gamer's Pov)
I sat on the edge of my bed, staring down at the notebook in my hands.
"There will come a child of both light and death" the words slipped out of my mouth "Whose hair is of setting sun, eyes of clear blue skies and skin as pale as stardust" my voice- I couldn't recognise it as I continued to speak, unable to stop "This child will fix what has been broken and torn, reigniting the burning light and re-enforcing a strong link to keep promised vows"....
My eyes ran over the exact words written down from what I spoke that night.
I fell to the ground, Death catching me in the process, I... I couldn't hear him- my hearing, everything was muffled except for my voice and its words "Shadow...." I barely mumbled "Need Day.... break....." it continued, still not sounding as if my own "Sunset Star......"....
"Uh... Gamer?" I immediately snapped out of thought, looking up at my dormmate, Anti, halfway through putting his books into his bag as he got ready for today's school day "You alright?" he questioned, seeming concerned as my brows drew a little whilst my gaze fell back onto the words on the notebook's paper "...sort of" I answered, flipping back a page to be greeted my own 'prophecy'.
"There will come a child of both shadow and light. Whose hair is of sun, eyes of clear blue skies and skin as pale as stardust. This child will be as their name and embrace all good and evil. They will act in step of Heaven and Hell uniting as one with their partnered love, a burning sun and a starry moon" Michael told me...
Just... rereading those words he spoke- those words about me... "I'm just.... still adjusting to the whole 'divine' thing" I told Anti, still looking at the words scribbled onto the paper "I keep remembering that prophecy about me and..." I groaned, covering the upper half of my face "How the fuck am I supposed to 'act in step' of uniting Heaven and Hell? and 'partnered love'? the fuck's that about?" I questioned as Anti sighed. "It's the first day for our last year of school" he stated "What about you wrap this up and go back to it in the afternoon? after school" Anti suggested, throwing his bag over his shoulder as I took a breath, closing my eyes for a moment before opening them again as I stood up "Alright".
I walked over to my desk, grabbing the books I need and shoving them into my bag as Anti walked out of the room. I opened my closet, reaching in for my hoodie yet stopping for a moment, it... kind of felt like my brain shutted down for a second.
"I am dead sick of every fucking person wanting me... the killens and Grey Army, Heaven, Hell, even you" I stated, gesturing to the ripper "It's time that I really embrace the demon inside" he stated "No more Heaven-angel bullshit, for all I know... all of them can get fucked-"...
I shook my head.
Only a few months ago, I decided- wanted to really embrace my demon side, my shadow walker powers and half-ripper blood... then that plan was immediately shredded up into pieces by the sudden appearance of the creation and lysdon angel powers that apparently stuck after my second falling and now this spirit-divine shit.
Maybe it's all a sign?
That I'm not meant to be a demon. That I'm forever stuck as an angel... and that it's maybe time to actually accept and embrace that instead.
....no. Fuck no.
I grabbed out my hoodie and pulled it on before grabbing my bag and throwing it over my shoulder.
Like fucking hell I will.
My life. My body. My powers. My 'destiny' and story.
No one else's.

I stared at the jacket sitting on my desk as I leaned on the chair.
When we got back yesterday, I walked into mine and Dark's dorm to find a new school-football jacket folded and placed neatly on my bed with a note.... from the school's coach, stating that he agreed with Liam about his decision of me being the next team captain before stating that the new jacket was now my 'captain's' jacket with my jersey number on it and everything.
I continued to stare at the jacket, almost glaring at it as if it was a horrid hostile creature from a foreign realm or something as Dark walked back into the room. "I thought you were heading over" "I left a book I need for-" his words immediately fell as I felt his eyes finally land on me "Seriously? again, with the jacket?" Dark questioned, shoving the forgotten book into his bag "It's just a jacket-" "A captain's jacket I didn't earn" I 'corrected' him, feeling his eye roll "Death- the coach and Liam made a good decision, and whole team agreed with it too, you have earnt it and you know it" he stated. "And?" "And you either put the fucking thing on and head over to the school or I'm dragging your ass out the door with the jacket wrapped around your head" Dark warned as I sighed "....okay-" "Ten minutes, Death, or I swear on Satan's life I'll drag you out that door" he warned again before walking out of the room.
"But believe me when I say that the team will be in great hands" Liam assured me "...thanks, Liam... I'll do my best" "I know you will" he smiled, giving me another hug...
I got up, picking up the jacket, not bothering to zip it up, and hesitantly pulled it on before grabbing my bag and stepping out of my dorm, immediately running into Gamer.
"Hey" I smiled as he brightly smiled back at me, as if a little thankful to see me "Hi- new jacket?" Gamer questioned with a slight smirk, folding his arms as I rubbed the back of my neck "Yeah, um... Liam- after the graduation and afterparty, made me the new captain of the football team" I told him, voice stammering a little. Gamer's smile brightened as excitement "Wait, seriously?! why didn't you tell me- us- why didn't you tell anyone?" he questioned "Well with everything that was happening at the time and Heaven, I figured it wasn't that important-" "Of course it is" Gamer stated, cutting me off a little whilst gently holding one of my hands. "Your stuff is just as important as everyone else's" he stated before his eyes settled back down on the jacket, hands lifting and now carefully holding the collars of the jacket itself "....what?" I quietly questioned as Gamer smirked a little more "Suits you" he simply answered, making me crack a small smile, raising a curious brow as I tilted my head down a little to look at him. "Oh really?" I asked, lifting my own hand up and gently tilted the fallen's head up a little by the chin, so his eyes now met mine "You like it that much?" I questioned, smirking a little as Gamer snorted a little, keeping his laughter down a bit "Pfft, idiot" he laughed, making me laughed a little too before the two of us decided to head out and over to the school.

Me and Mangle were in the process of showing Dawn around the school, something Erik asked me to do last night before explaining a few things to both me and Dawn.
After Dawn getting through to the Mid Realm, the Red Leader and the Council of Prodigium had a meeting about whether or not to send her back to the Human Realm, thankfully they decided to keep her in the realm. At the same time, back in Heaven, Ianthe and Aristomache made me explain why I had burst into the palace and used their Kero-loos without permission, and after explaining the whole thing, both queens were quick to contact the Mid Realm's council to tell them the exact information. And so last night.... Ianthe made the decision to let Dawn attend the school as a 'Transferic Student' and stay on school grounds until a proper living arrangement could be made, but for now, Dawn was in the guest dorms until then.
"So as Transferic Student, you're classes are pretty much the same as normal classes back in the Human Realm" I stated, eyes scanning through Dawn's student timetable "The basics: English, Math, Physical Education, History-" "But also Earth, Realm & Environmental Science, Prodigium Studies, Realm Studies, Demonology and Angelology" Mangle continued the list as the human's face drew with worry and nervousness. "That... seems like a lot of subjects" she stated, passing another corridor crowded with students "Well you're currently standing in one of Mid England's most overachieving schools that's counted both as a high school and university" I told Dawn "And thanks to the council, you're a Mid Realm citizen now, meaning that you have to take the Transferic Course if you want to really understand how everything works and actually have the legal paperwork to stay here" I stated. We headed down the staircase, now on our way to one of Dawn's first classes "But I'm only here because you said some army leader was after me" the human said as Mangle turned her head towards her "The Grey Army also has an allied cult working with them" Mangle reminded her "Trust us- most of our class has been dealing with them for about three years now" "Not to mention the few 'run-ins' me, Death, Gamer and Akire had with the cult before hand" I added to Mangle's words. Fear returned to Dawn's eyes as we landed on the bottom floor of the building, stepping off the stairs "...this is too much" she said, only loud enough for me and Mangle to hear, Mangle immediately gave Dawn a big hug "It's alright" the angel stated, soon letting Dawn go as I placed a hand on the human's shoulder "She's right- you have us now" I assured her "The guardian of the Light Stone, and the guardian of the Dark Stone slash princess of Hell" Mangle stated, pointing at both me and herself as Dawn smiled a bit. "Thanks... for everything so far" the human thanked as I gave her a small smile, then nodded to the classroom beside us "Room 5, Realm Studies" I stated as Dawn turned her head to the classroom "Since it's just the first week of school and you're in the 1st year class, everything today should just be an introduction" I told her, handing her back her student schedule. We watching the human take a deep breath before stepping inside the classroom where one of her new teachers happily greeted her, and after giving it a minute, me and Mangle started walking off towards our class "You think she'll be fine?" Mangle asked as I nodded my head "She will" I answered.

"In shine by day, in shone by night" her voice rang throughout the entire Reaper Ring Prison, singing with a throat sore, dry and torn yet still sounding like a siren's song "Her cries as wind, her tears as rain".
He could hear it, all of it, as he descended down the steps and into the prison's corridors.
"Our lovers, their hearts, severed by two..." the familiar, sad lullaby beautifully slipping through her lips as he travelled closer to her cell "...one to never have and one to bloom" she sung, her voice immediately fading as she heard his footsteps travel and stop in front of her cell, and she came into view. The one and only, Annadite, chained and blindfolded to her original state; bars and chains piercing through flesh and bone, shackles bruising limbs, and the signature metal blindfold of demonglass and angelsilver holding her sight captive. "Haven't heard that lullaby in a long time" the man stated as Annadite didn't bother lifting her head to acknowledge him "Why is the 'Black Councillor' of the Reaper Wing at my cell?" she hissed as Issac carefully removed his hood "Helena-" "The fuck do you want?" the prisoner spat another question. Issac stepped closer to the cell's bars, kneeling down a little to match Annadite's eye level, even if she couldn't see him "...to offer you a deal" the councillor answered as Annadite finally lifted her head up a little "What deal?" "You have a child now... Isabella needs her mother, but not as one of Hell's most wanted and hated criminals" Issac stated. "Is this the same deal from 1950?" "No" the councillor answered Annadite "A new deal, somewhat the same as the first one with just one more detail" he stated "You admit to your crimes and take the original plea deal, and take the Removal Ritual..." Issac paused for a moment before continuing "And.... marry me". Annadite's body stiffened and froze at the reaper's offer "It'll only be for your protection, I won't do anything to you or your daughter whatsoever and you'll be free to do whatever you wish, as long as it doesn't involve breaking more of Hell's laws-" "Fuck no" Annadite hissed, interrupting Issac midsentence. The councillor sighed, standing up "Suit yourself" he breathed "The offer has been approved by Aristomache, Satan and God, and will only be open for a year.... I urge you to think carefully about it" Issac stated before turning on his heel and walking off, back down the prison corridor whilst Annadite slammed back in her chains.
