Fallen From Grace

What makes an Angel? That was a question that you had been wondering about for years; Was it killing the Demons, protecting heavens order? Caring for mortals who threw their lives away to sin even when its not our problem.

Ever since the day you were born you stood out amongst the other angels, you had great power, potential, and courage that outshined most others. You worked so hard and eventually grew powerful enough that you became an Archangel, the only other Archangel than Adam who was not associated with God or the Heavenly Virtues; However you outshined Adam and the Virtues in so many ways that only Michael, the Speaker of God, The Elders, And God themself actually surpassed you in power.

Your power even got to a point where it was considered equal if not greater than the fallen/former Prince of Heaven, the Morningstar: Samael Lightbringer (now Lucifer Morningstar) and you were much loved, you protected the heavens, maintained order alongside the Seraphim and built great bonds, but overall you eventually started to become bitter, more carefree, and aggressive as you felt you lacked purpose let alone answers.

And it was your lack of answers and trust from some others that eventually you snapped and nearly killed a Seraphim, though during the attack you eventually stopped and realized what you were doing, but even though you had stopped this crime did not go unpunished.

While you were higher than the Seraphim and most Heavenly Council in general, you were not immune to its judgement, and now you were faced straight up by the wrath of the people you were trying to protect, this broke you although you still felt bad.

Sera then spoke "The Heavenly Council has decided on a fitting punishment, and you" Sera points at you, albeit possibly with a hint of sadness in her eyes "For the crime of assaulting a Higher Seraphim, you are hereby sentenced with banishment to hell, restricted from returning to heaven; Even if you attempt to open a portal to heaven it will not work, you will fall from grace and be stripped of your status as an Archangel, open the gates." she said sternly on that last part.

As soon as Sera had issued that a golden portal opened up to a weird crimson city, you had done your research, this is the Pride Ring governed by none other than the infamous creator of Sin and the First of The Fallen, Lucifer Morningstar.

You gulped in fear, but then decided to look around the courtroom, Sera seemed unsure of the situation, once more possibly saddened, the other Archangel Emily was on the brink of tears, Lute the vice-captain of the Exorcists had a look of disappointment and anger on her face through her black and gray mask, and Adam the first man didnt seem to care that much, but once in a while decided to laugh at the situation.

You felt a bit of spite but held it back, but soon focused on the reality of what was actually happening and decided to accept his fate of banishment.

Sera spoke once more "If you do not desire to be banished you will be sentenced to death by crucifixion by higher Divine Power, which do you choose, Damnation or Death." She said in a more serious tone.

"I- I gratefully accept banishment, Lady Sera" You said, albeit with a hint of sadness in your voice; Obviously.

"Very well, step through the portal" she said, and I did just that, but not before taking one last look at the council before fading into the endless dark.

You then said to yourself "I sincerely hope to avoid Lucifer and Satan, they will be a lot of trouble."

______________________

You now find yourself on a clifftop right in front of the Crimson City like the portal depicted, before you see the golden portal fade.

You then fall to your knees and collapse into tears and many other emotions, but one more than others, Rage; You had protected and upheld the order within heaven for over 3,000 years and you always used your power in the name of the Speaker, God, and overall the greater good and never for malice. But now because of the lack of trust after offering EVERYTHING you had for Heaven, you snapped but you never finished the job, overall you went against your nature once and because of that you were thrown out like you were never needed in the first place, you felt like a toy a parent gave to their child only for them to be used up until the child no longer has interest in you, or you break and you are just discarded and then another one gets bought and the cycle repeats.

You now find yourself in a situation worse than any other Angel could be in, banished to hell and most likely subject to Extermination despite not even being a Sinner or a Hellborn. But now you had to persevere through whatever came next, but first you needed to know some things about the fall.

'Hmm, I see I have my wings, albeit slightly darker' You then reached your hand out expecting for nothing to happen, presuming your powers to have been taken away but then white and golden light spread out from your hand and into the sky before dispersing.

'That should not be possible' You thought confused, and then you focused more on your power and realised you still maintained most of your power with little to none of it being stripped from you, you had only lacked your ability to create portals to Heaven, though you could to anywhere else in Hell, or any other plane of existence, this was confusing. 

'Why in the name of the Speaker do I still have power?' While you still had your powers, most of it was sealed so using only that little bit you had hurt a lot, but with time that seal would fade you were sure of it, but for now its best to play it safe and use your powers only when absolutely nessicary.

______________________

You now find yourself walking through the streets of Pride with your wings hidden, though not actually believing that you were an Angel, they did think you looked wired. Multiple sinners had ran up to you and tried to kill you, though you didnt need to bother since nothing other than Angelic Weapons or greater Divine Power could harm and/or kill you. Which the only powers other than that that the seal didnt decrease was your ability to summon wings and your immense healing factor (though not regeneration) due to the fact that those abilities were intrinsic and biological to that of an Angel which every Angel has without the use of Divine Energy.

You then look around to find TV hanging on some of the larger buildings and look at it to find a commercial advertising redemption with the people there dressed in an odd manor with one specific woman seeming familiar to you with silver hair and grey skin, which you finally see that one of the one being shown was a Fallen Exorcist, another one of the fallen like you, and this eventually piqued your interest on why a former Angel would want to help a bunch of sinners "rehabilitate" you and offer free housing which you find you found almost laughable, however even if a little bit you always personally believed and liked the idea.

You eventually decide to head to this "Hazbin Hotel" seing as you might need shelter later on; but obviously you would have to go under the alias of wanting redemption otherwise you might not be let in.

You eventually find the location of the place before knocking on the door to find a woman with silver hair. "Welcome to the Haz–" She instantly stopped in her tracks and took one good lock at you and was then turned aggressive before shouting to everyone inside.

"Hello Vaggie" You said.

"..." 

"Im not here for any trouble, just looking to help out around here" you say "Like I would believe that" as soon as she said that she pulled out her Angleic Sphere and charged right at you

You easily dodged the attacks as you were well versed in the ways of combat, far more than even the Vice-Captain of the Angelic Exorcist Army: Lute. As the battle progressed you eventually decide to get a little more serious by unleashing your dark wings which sent an impact so powerful it knocked Vaggie onto the floor.

She looked slightly injured but well enough to fight. "Thats enough" you said showing her your hand "Like I said im not here to fight" Vaggie looked slightly distressed but decided to reluctantly take your hand anyway "Fine but you better not cause any trouble or Ill-" She was cut off "Yes I got it" you said before walking through the main door.

"Greetings Sinners, I wish to speak to the Owner of the hotel please." you said nonchalantly. Suddenly out of nowhere another woman comes straight out of the hall running straight up to you.

"Oh my god, are you our new member?" She eventually spouted out a bunch of other nonsense you could not quite understand, but the more you looked at her I soon realized who she reminded you of "Lucifer" you muttered under your breath before realizing the obvious.

"Soooooooo!!" She said excitingly with her eyes glowing up more than you thought was possible, even for a Demon. "Im here for…" your face srunched up trying to look as decent as possible for something that seemed so stupid to you "Redemption" you managed to muster a smile; her face brightened up even more than her eyes, which seemed even more impossible but decided to accept it.

"Alright so first whats your name, mines Charlie, the one over there is Vaggie, shes my girlfriend! What is your name?" You would eventually speak your name to which everyone seemed to like and one by one you would introduce yourself to the others until one other came in particular that shook you, both out of fear and quite literally malice.

"Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you, quite a pleasure, I look forward to working with you." the strange red deer man said nonchalantly. You didnt like the dark aura he was emitting, and as soon as you shook hands with him you understood, this man was almost literally pure evil, even Lucifer who indirectly created Sin and the other Demons had a different aura to them, Sinners stinked of Sin but this one being had more malice than you could have ever imagined which actually scared you.

While he was strong, at your full power with your abilities unsealed you were far FAR more powerful than him, however what shook you was the fact that you could feel his desire for more, and to show off power, his want to cause destruction on an unfathomable scale, it honestly felt like you were looking at chaos personified walking under the alias of a Demon.

Under your breath you muttered something "demon filth" "What was that?" the deer has clearly heard what you said or atleast the outlines of it and was clearly annoyed, you had obviously stepped out of line and was lucky only the one you accidentally insulted. "Oh-uhm nothing" you say quickly. "Hmm…" he responded suspiciously with a hint of malice

"Now can someone show me to my room?" You say with a bright smile right before the adventures begin.
