Red Jester

"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

"Good. You're doing good, Atticus," Bentley told him. "Keep fighting it," 


Atticus trembled above her. Although the rush of magic and memories was enough for him to regain consciousness at first, it couldn't keep the surging tides at bay. Wave after wave overcame him as he desperately struggled to keep his head above the surface. White light continued to flicker over his golden eyes, relentless in its quest to overtake him once again. 


Seizing the opportunity, Bentley flipped Atticus over so he was pressed into the rocks. Then a set of red cords shot out of her fluttering white sleeve, wrapping tightly around his wrists to keep him pinned down while he struggled. If they were in any other sort of situation, he would be incredibly annoyed by this action of hers. However, desperate times called for desperate measures, so he didn't resist.
