"Bentley Hellbourne is dead,"

Those words were echoed in the pages of history, celebrating the infamous demon's death at the hands of her angelic arch-nemesis. After eighty-five years of peace between Heaven and Hell, the world is finally getting used to its current state of balance. But when Bentley inexplicably comes crawling back from her grave to wreak havoc once again, the structure of the four realms instantly comes crashing down.

After reuniting with his formerly deceased rival, low-ranking angel Atticus pash de Ophaniel finds himself caught up in a wild tangle of adventures. From babysitting Lucifer himself, to discovering horrible truths about his own existence, Atticus is forced to acknowledge the trauma of his past. And in doing so, unearths memories of a long-lost friendship held between himself and the person he always thought he hated the most.

God's Gone AWOL

The whole time, Atticus had been entirely unaffected by the waves of oncoming souls. Every time one of the frothy white clouds approached him, he would blast it away without a scrap of effort. His march towards the gateway of Hell was entirely unhindered, and he pressed onwards like an unstoppable force. With clouded eyes and an empty look on his face, Atticus didn't even react to the preoccupied army at his back, focusing only on his one command. 


Until he was suddenly tackled to the ground by a flying red angel. 


Even though he was actively going against her, Bentley still didn't dare to aim a direct attack on Atticus. She couldn't conjure any weapons, nor throw any spells at him. His mind may have been elsewhere, but his body was still the same, and Bentley couldn't bring herself to do any direct harm to it when the owner wasn't around to properly defend himself. So she could only tackle him around the waist and throw him off course as best as she could.
