"Hey, mom?"

"Yes, Zuriel"

"Can you tell me the story of the War of the Celestial Abyss and the World Keys and how they came to be?"

The mother looked at her son and thought about it, what she saw from her child was genuine interest in the war period and what happened there and the fact that war is not something you can just tell a child especially one that is 5 years old, but she gave in and said "Sure anything for you my dark angel"

Zuriel smiled and rejoiced that he would get to hear the story of the War of the Celestial Abyss, the war of infinity and Destruction. The mother got a book off of Zuriel's bookshelf that had a star on the book crossed by two swords and two different wings, the snow-white wing of an angel and the crimson, a black wing of a demon, and opened the book that had the word in gold and drawings of the war and the different sides, and the mother started reading and she spoke.

"Long, long ago this world was peaceful and flourished with kindness and prosperity no hate, no killing, families were happy, neighbors loved one another and helped each other, friends never stabbed you in your back, they were like family."

"It was not all smiles because no one is perfect there were times when people did things that were wrong like stealing and killing, but those were rarely done."

"Everything changed one day when a war broke out between Heaven and Hell, Gates that separated them were destroyed and so the Demons and Monstrosities that came from hell went and started to attack Heaven to carry out their desires of lust, greed, Murder many more. The war became chaotic causing an imbalance to the order of things colliding the world of the living to the world of the dead putting the humans in the middle of the war causing massive amounts of death and destruction by the Demons and monsters. As this all occurred man had to evolve grow stronger but even so they were only strong enough to take on the low to mid-tier monster and so God blessed a selected number of humans to wield holy power that with a lot of training those who wield it would be able to take on mid to high tier monsters and low tier demons and later they were once again granted the ability to craft weapons imbued with holy power that then linked themselves to those that they grew a bond with because these weapons were sentient."

"This now allowed a few of them that were chosen to hold the holy power to fight mid to mid-high-tier demons and then with this, the demons started to mingle with the women on earth and so did a few of the angels did as well causing them to fall from grace aligning themselves with the demons. These new Races that came from the demons and fallen angels were the sorcerers, these people looked and were like humans but had power comparable to a high-ranked demon, the Nephilim, they are a small race of both fallen angels and human blood. They are the strongest of most if not all races, being able to stand on equal footing with both high ranks of angels and demons. The Dryads these Natures spirits are strong but, can only go against demons at mid-tier only using power. The Dragons, these creatures are like the Nephilim's and stand on par with the high ranks of both Heaven and Hell, etc."

"Through the war, all the Races chose a side or chose their side and fought partaking in the battle between the angels and the demons. Each side fought with a Purpose and an Ideal that they brought the ones that chose the angel wanted to eradicate evil, the other wanted pure destruction and carnage, and the ones that chose no side fought for true justice and balance to live in harmony and to change evil to good."

"After three thousand years of bloodshed the war still had not stopped it was even worse than then and so, God stepped in and spoke "My children cease all this violence, I have watched as you all massacred each other, so MAY THE GATES BE CLOSED AND THE REALMS SEPARATE!" and all had fixed itself the worlds of the dead and the living had been separated and the Gates had been closed now stronger than before and to solidify the strength of the gates God created what is known as the World Keys."

"There are 3 keys: The key to Piety, The key to Courage, and the key to peace. It is said that each key grants the one who finds them incredible power but with power comes challenges and consequences, the keys have a guardian used to protect the key and test the one that wants its power."

"And with the creation of the Keys the Demons and Angels were brought back into Hell and Heaven and closed the gates to Heaven only opening them to let souls in, while the offspring of the angels and demons still roamed the earth and ruled it as their playground. The End"

The mother finishes telling the story, closes the book, and looks up as she sees her son fast asleep and kisses him on the forehead says, "Goodnight my dear" and blows out the candle that had lit up the room closing the door. She then walked down the dimly lighted hallway and turned towards a reasonably large pair of doors, she opened them and walked in, walking towards a man seated at the end of the new hallway beyond the doors. Finally reaching the end of this hallway she stepped into the new room seeing books and shelves everywhere seemingly boundless, the woman could only describe this as an infinite library.

The man looked up at her from his book and said, "What is it that you need Clara?"

The woman now Known as Clara replied "They are on their way here"

Far out in the woods heavy footsteps can be heard and iron shoes can be seen marching forth to the small family. Marching toward the family the knights now shown by the moonlight can see the house from the top of the hill and their commander shouts, "MEN, TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF THE WITCH OF THE FOREST AND HER HUSBAND THE FALLEN ARK ANGEL OF KNOWLEDGE. BE PREPARED TO FIGHT YOUR LAST FIGHT TONIGHT, THE PALADINS AND CRUSADERS WILL BE HERE TO AID US IN OUR VICTORY!!" All the knights cheered and let out a battle cry as the commander said, "CHARGE AND SHOW NO MERCY MY FELLOW WARRIORS OF GOD!!"

All the knights charged down the hill towards the house but in that moment a huge barrier of trees and thorns rose from the ground blocking the knights from moving forward.

In the house, Clara looked at the man with a worried expression and said, "They're here now and I have my barrier up around the house, what should we do Bell?"

Bell looked at her and got up walking towards the door with Clara following behind him once out of the library Bell looked back to the room and the door disappeared without a trace and looked back at Clara and said, "Get Zuriel and get out of here"

"But what About you?" Clara asked worriedly

"I'll be fine just gone get Zuriel"

"OK" replied Clara running off to Zuriel's room to get him to safety.

Bell watched as she ran off with a sad look on his face and walked out of the house standing straight as he stared at the large wall made of trees and thorns.

The knights stared at the wall of trees trying to figure out of to get past it after trying to chop at them to no avail but then, their commander walked up and shouted, "STAND BACK!!" The commander drew his weapon and it started to glow radiating a lot of power as he charged towards the barrier and did a multitude of attacks paving the way for his comrades he said, "DON'T LET A SOUL LEAVE THIS PLACE ALIVE!!"

Bell watched as the knights charged in through the barrier and as some rushed towards him and others surrounded the house and infiltrated it. Seeing all this happen Bell transformed revealing his true form, he had a halo with what looked like horns on it and had the appearance of what looked like a monster from the shadows and had eyes red as scarlet and his mouth was as white as snow, he had long sharp claws and a cloak made of shadows covered him and his wings were like that of void endless darkness that could drive even the strong-willed to madness. Bell, after transforming, rushed towards the knights, Paladins, and Crusaders taking some of them out 1 by 1 and others group by group.

While all this was going on Clara and Zuriel went out of the back of the house but were ambushed by the knights who surrounded the house. Clara tried to fend them off as best she could reshaping the landscape and leaving uniquely shaped trees and vines littered with dead bodies everywhere but, in the end, it was not enough, One of the Paladins had gotten through all her attacks, and started to send an onslaught of attacks towards her breaking through all her defenses leaving her in a heap of her blood covered in gashes and fatal wounds. At that moment the Paladin turned towards Zuriel walking towards him with his sword high and swung down towards him but Clara seeing what was about to happen managed to get up on shaky legs and jumped in front of her son channeling her magic through her body the blade of the sword started to cleave through her, she was ripped in half as a large wooden thorn emerged from the ground impaling the Paladin in his chest.

Clara looked towards Zuriel and said to him, "My baby boy I'm sorry for all of this… Run and live a good life be." Clara coughed up a little bit of blood while trying to extend her life a little longer, she continued to say, "Become strong and protect those you love." At that moment Clara fell forward limp, Zuriel was still standing over her trying to process what was happening around him, and seeing his mother die in front of him did not help him as the mind of this five-year-old was being pushed to its breaking point. Tears rolled down as Zuriel tried to scream, shout, or speak but nothing came out and all he could do was walk towards where his father was fighting.

While fighting Bell saw what happened to his wife and was enraged but then saw his son walking towards them and realized one of the knights was about to attack him and teleported behind his son protecting him from the attack but unknown to him a group of Crusaders and Paladins attacked him from behind stabbing him through with both their spears and sword through him as he protected his son and he said, "I'm sorry." As he died standing up.

For the young Zuriel this broke him having to watch as he was useless to save his parents from their brutal ends, In that moment all he felt was anger, anger at the people who did this, anger at the world for taking everything away from him, he then finally found his voice and screamed a heart-wrenching scream to the heavens making everyone stop in their tracks, and after fell unconscious due to the stress of it all.

After many hours Zuriel woke up bound by many heavy chains in a cell, feeling this he tried desperately to break out of them without any luck, and then started to scream to be let out for hours and spent the rest of the time crying and recollecting what happened before he ended up here and wept in sorrow for his parents, at this moment the commander that leads the attack walked into the cell and look at him and said, "You are one hell of a monster aren't ya kid just like your old man" The man grinned and continued, "if you what to be released you will serve this kingdom well do you hear me, boy, any disobedience and you'll be chained far worse than this and tortured."

Zuriel looked up at him, thought it over, and agreed with him. As of now his life is no longer his own but the Kingdoms and this kingdom is the kingdom of Narva.
