Four years go by before Luke receives a letter from his subordinate. The letter states that the plague has been made and is ready for use. Upon seeing this letter Luke starts to think about the plague he ordered to be made. A plague that would infect humans and corrupt them from the inside out. By spreading this across the whole world he's bound to infect the child of fate. "This should make that child evil without a problem. Now time to make plans for when I have God's power."The story of how a child, who has been forced to decide the fate of the world begins. His actions will lead to salvation or suffering.
A year later as the plague is spreading around the world Troy turns five years old. God has received news of this plague and sends his most loyal angel, his best warrior, his Valkyrie Leah. While on her way to receive her orders a feeling comes over her. A feeling that this may be the last time that she will ever see these halls again. This premonition struck fear in her heart. Realizing that this may very well be the last time she's here her speed became a tad bit slower. Leah receives her orders and goes to earth. As she is falling from the sky a single tear leaves her face.
Troy is celebrating his fifth birthday and is having fun playing with friends and all his new toys. All of a sudden a siren goes off. "Dear residents of Hollow City. On today July 13th we encourage everyone to stay in the house. Lock your doors and try not to make contact with infected individuals. Do not for any reason go outside or open your door for strangers. For those already outside we advise you to hurry home or in the closest building. We repeat for no reason do we advise people to go outside. Please report if you notice any activity in or around your neighborhood. We thank you for your understanding. We will immediately let everyone know when it's safe to come outside again."
When Troy's mother heard this she immediately dropped what she was doing and went to find her son. Troy having just heard the announcement tries to get all his friends back in his house. Walking around looking for his friends that were playing hide and seek outside he spots someone walking towards him. His mother sees Troy and runs to catch up to him. She tries to yell for him to stop but she's too far away for him to hear her yell. On her way to where her son was a group of kids ran out from their hiding spots yelling and screaming. The kids grabbed her and started crying for their parents. Having to decide between taking the kids back to her house or chasing after her son. She chose to take care of the other kids first then go after her son."I hope that he'll be ok"
The person walking toward Troy is an old man he knows from down the street. Troy walked up to say hello and saw the old man's appearance. Before he can say anything to the old man a black substance leapt off of the old man on to him. Just as the substance touches his body His left hand started to shine. Like beacon all the black substance around the world rushed to him. The same sigil that kept his father from entering the hospital forms from the shine on his hand. Leah who felt the presence of the sigil flew to Troy at her top speed.
Troy could feel the black goo expanding over his whole body. From the moment it touched his body Troy felt like this whole incident was targeted at him. The goo didn't hurt him at all in fact it felt great. With the right half of his body covered his eye flashes red and his arm shot out and grabbed the neck of the old man. With a squeeze of his hand the neck of the old man snapped in half. "What am I doing? D..di...did i just kill him?" The thought of what just happened, of what he just did could make him sick.
With tears flowing out from his left eye Troy looks at the body in front of him. The sigil on his left hand started to glow red. The brighter the glow the fast the goo flew towards him. "I don't want to look at this body anymore." Almost on instinct his right hand pointed at the body on the ground and the goo flew around the body and back onto his hand. When the goo flew back to him the body on the ground was gone. Shocked at his own actions, Troy watches as more goo covers him from head to toe. the more goo the less he felt bad about killing that old man. In a matter of seconds Troy is about to be completely covered. Right when the goo is is about to cover his left hand Troy notices something falling from the sky towards him.
When Leah found the boy almost his whole body except his left hand was covered in a gooey black substance. Landing before the boy Leah folded her wings into her armor. "Sigh so this is how I die. I wonder if he will feel anything once I'm gone." Leah without a second thought took her great sword from its sheath on her back. The sword looked like a carbon copy of the one that's on troys hand. With her sword she stabbed Troy right in his heart. The blade pierced all the way through the young boys body. A scream broke out from Danni's mouth. "My son!! You bitch what did you do to my boy?!" with tears streaming her face she falls on the ground. Seeing the blade's body poking out of her sons back her mind begins to collapse in on itself.
Leah seeing this scene couldn't help but frown and speak. "Mrs I think you have misunderstood something here. I'm not killing him in fact i'm saving him" Hearing her words a ray of hope can begins to form in this desperate mothers heart. "How is stabbing my son with that giant thing going to save him. All i can see is you killing him." The frown on leah's face began to deepen. "Why is it that even when i'm about to give my life for this boy I still trouble for it." A sigh came from leah's mouth as she turned her eye's to the sky. "Is this boy really worth it to you? Are you that sure that you want to retire?" these stray thoughts couldn't help but flash in the mind of the angel as she stared at the sky.
Tilting her head back down onto the woman on the ground her face once more wore a mask of indifference. "Before you judge my actions at the very least ask me for my name." For a second Danni didn't know what to do. "Do I take her word and do nothing? or do i..." " There's nothing that you can do to help your son" Shock and fright jumped on danni's face "Did you just read my mind?" The angel across from her gave her a annoyed look as if to say she asks too many questions. "My name is Leah, i've long forgotten my last name but it isn't of importance. You may very well be the last person that I speak to" A sad smile is left on the face on the angel named Leah.
While the two women stood there speaking the black substance went from the body of Troy to the blade of the holy sword. The sword looked like it had wings of its own. It was a divine weapon that held the presence of something holy. This blade is one which god made for her himself. This same holy sword slowly turned black. The black substance on Troy slowly melted into the sword. With this happening before her eyes Danni began to cry tears of joy. " Hello Leah my name is Danielle Howard. I'm sorry for the harsh words from earlier. Thank you for helping me save my son." Looking at her blade that is almost completely black leah looks back at the woman named Danielle and her son which has the sigil of the child of fate. "Danielle your son will need you to teach him how to choose the right way even if it's harder." "It's Danni for short and I will."
Having said her piece Leah looks at her sword. The once pure white blade is now completely black except for the wings at the base. Leah's right arm which held the sword slowly turned pale as the black goo was absorbed by her sword. The beautiful golden skin that she had lost its gold and turned into a beautiful honey brown. That same honey brown skin started to turn even more pale. Soon almost as if all the ash in the world found her skin her right arm turned completely white. The white slowly crept up her arm to her shoulder pretty soon half her face was ash white. Her right eye pupil went from gold to red.
Within the half of her face that was completely white A small bulge formed on her forehead. within seconds the bump on her head grew until a horn popped out from within. The armor all over her body fell apart completely. Her halo broke in half and disappeared. Soon it was replaced by a bright red half crown made of flame. The crown and her halo fit together as if they were made for each other or made from the same source. The sight of the half a crown of flames and and the halo was as beautiful. So beautiful in fact that the sight would never be forgotten by danni in her entire life. At the moment when they connected everything froze. A pair of eyes formed in the sky. The pair of Golden eyes swept across the world until they landed on leah's location. With her location found a report was sent out about what is occuring.
God noticed what was going on and came down next to Leah. "Leah you have been by my side since I found and raised you. I know that you love me, but I cannot love you back. Not at this moment in time at least. This may very well be my final act of selfishness I have as God." When he said those words, God's right hand slashed down from the sky. At his movement the world split apart. With the movement of his hand a golden line trailed after and split Leah apart. Her corrupted parts and her untainted parts became two different halves. When the right half was separated the evil black goo dived into Leah like sharks dive into prey.
The goo slowly started to reform the missing half of her body. As the sword was slowly corrupted it flew next to the reforming body of this new woman. At the moment that the body became whole the sword flew into her right hand. This newly formed body slowly began to crack apart starting with the flame crown. With the fire falling into the body it began to burn. The flames didn't stop until only a small bundle was left. Within this bundle was a little girl with ash white skin. The girl's eyes were closed but both of her hands clutched onto the sword with all her might. When the sword completely turned black a hand reached out from the ground. This hand snatched the child with the sword still in hand and pulled her into hell." Father this sword and corrupted child belong to me. She like me has now fallen therefore, she will become my daughter. I will raise her the way I wished you raised me. In remembrance of her past she shall be named Angel."
At that moment God shed A tear, for he knew that half of his beloved Leah was lost to him. It is a strange thing when the creator of the universe is moved by emotion of loss for one being. Winds began to gust and animals of all species began to cry out. No matter what form he takes on earth God's creations will always inherently sense him, and his emotion moved every living thing that was anywhere near him. God knew that he could not bring half an angel back into heaven with him so he choose to leave the left half of Leah here on earth. As he was making this decision the other half of the body fell backwards into the arms of God.
The last thought that Leah had before she lost consciousness was of the man she loved. In fact she could have swore that she saw him shed a tear. Even if she knew that she would never see him again she couldn't help but reach her arm out to wipe his tear away. As her arm reached half the distance to his face it paused in the air. After this pause it began to fall back towards the ground. Watching this arm fall his tear fell with it. When that tear fell from God's eyes it slid down his face and landed on the forehead of this woman in his arms.
When the tear touched her head a golden light covered her body. The half halo crumbled and fell into the light as it shone upon it. With the added power from the half halo the golden light grew stronger. The body surrounded by the golden light started absorbing this light and it began to float in the air. Like a mirror imagine of what happened to the other half of her body the golden light started regrowing the right half of her body. At the point in which the golden light began to fade, it shrank. When the light faded away the appearance of a child could be seen. On the back of this little girl the faint outlines of wings formed on her back. The wings imprinted themselves unto to her back in the form of a tattoo.
The little girl fell from mid air into the arms of the waiting God. Holding onto this little girl he looked down at the child in his arms. Looking at this child the memory of his valkyrie appeared in his mind. Because of this he choose to give her the same name as the only person he ever could have loved, Leah. Raising his head and looking around he saw Danni frozen in place on her knees. The tears from her soul flowing down her face. Walking up next to her he placed the child on the ground in front of her. Turning around he tried to walk away. Try as he might the foot that was in the air wasn't able to move on. Placing his foot back on the ground he sighed.
Waving his hand Danni unfroze. "What happened? Why am I crying? Leah.. my son what happened to my son?" Finally coming to Danni realizes that there's a five years old girl laying down in front of her. The child lay there asleep on the ground in the grass. Sensing something she began to look up. "Unless you wish to lose thy sight stop that foolish action at once!" This voice shook Danni's entire being. The head that was slowly rising from the ground immediately lowered again. "G..G...God?! Wha.." Interrupting her God spoke "Find a place for this child, she like your son, has a great destiny upon her" Hearing the sadness in his voice Danni was left speechless.
"What is her name sir?" "Her name is.." God's next word didn't come for awhile. Facing this pause Danni waited patiently. A long sigh came out from his mouth. "Her name is Leah" Shock coursed through Danni's mind at the mention of this name. After he spoke the foot that was in the air slowly began to descend. Before he left God turned back around one last time. "Take good care of her, if possible make sure that she grows up in a good home." The look in his eyes was compassionate. After speaking his body dissipated in the wind. " As a reward for taking care of this matter for me i'll wipe the memory of this incident from the minds of everyone." As if the events on this day were a dream the memories of this day fade away into nothing.
Or at least that what should have happened.
