Forbidden love whispers threw the night. Two beings of two different worlds come to this hidden sanctuary to express a desire that is not allowed. From the sky, velvet blue sparked with dots of glorious blazing white light comes a being of infinite good. With wings of swan feathers and a dress made of morning fog and dew a beautiful angel descends.
From the bowels of the earth, black and red a place best described as an inferno comes a being of infinite evil. With skin as black as coal and a tail as scaly and long as a rats, no clothing does this one where for no clothing can repel the heat of where he comes from a horrible demon ascends.
Together they meet where towering trees block the sight from both worlds keeping their forbidden pleasures secret. Wind moans and stirs the trees bringing with it the combined smell of hell and heaven, bad and good, loyalty and betrayal.
They meet in a lover's embrace, tears of diamond falling from the angels eyes while pits of burning fire flares in the demons. Black and white, pure and impure, together they meld.
Together they create a heaven and hell all their own. With a Satan and a God, with good and evil. Here their children grew and prospered, some the evil of their father some the good of their mother, some... neither... some just were.
But which is truly evil, evil that knows its evil or evil that thinks it's good? The angel called upon her master, begging for her lover's acceptance into heaven and accepted he would be.
The demon was wrenched from hell, from his eternal torture. For keeping the secret of their love, for never betraying their loyalty the demon was reinstated into heaven. His scales were removed in one painless sweep replaced by flawless skin. His tail was removed his burning eyes replaced with eyes of the clearest green. His fangs receded until there was nothing but a row of perfect teethe. His heart cleansed until there was nothing left of the demon that was once him.
But the angel betrayed his scared trust told what was their forbidden secret. The angel's wings were removed one feather at a time. Her halo broken into three pieces and thrown onto the planet they had created with their love. Her gown was replaced one dewdrop at a time with scales of black sulfur. The demon now an angel knew this was the way it had to be. For when he was a demon he had given his unconditional loyalty to her but now that he was good his loyalty went to something even bigger then her, she had betrayed him she had to be punished.
He watched as she was throw into hell but felt no remorse. She had broken true love. He turned his back on her, his fallen angel.
