Devils were once angels.

CHARPTER 1:AETHERA'S DESCENT

Aethera's wings sliced through moonlight clouds, her steps hesitant on the mortal soil.Elysium's rule s echoed in her mind:no contact ,no touch, no fall.But she'd seen him a devil with eyes like burning star.

She landed in a forgotten alley,shadow s swallowing her glow the air reeked of smoke and possibility. Aethera's wings folded tight :she felt the mortal pulse.

Suddenly,darkness moved .A whisper cut the night ."You're not from here. "Malakai👿.

Aethera's sapphire eyes locked on the shadow. Malakai leaned against a crumbling wall,flames dancing in his gaze.

"Lost angel?"he purred,voice like midnight velvet.

Aethera's wings fluttered a warning."I'm not here for war,Malakai."

He laughed,smoke curling from his lips. "You're here for me."

Aethera's cheeks burned.He knows.Before she could flee,Malakai pushed off the wall, closing the gap.

"Frist rule of Elysium,Aethera,"he whispered."Don't get caught."

Their lips crashed in a kiss that shattered the night.

Aethera's wings beat wildly as Achon Zha'rak descended,his fury a palpable force."You dishonor Elysium!"he roared.

Malakai's flames surged, but Aethera pushed him back."Go!"she mumbled,her lips bruised.

The devil vanished into smoke.Aethera faced her father,wings trembling.

"You're summoned Aethera ,"Zha'rak growled."The council awaits. "

In Elysium' s spire ,angels watched,cold and curious.Aethera's life hung by a thread.

Malakai's whisper echoed in her mind :You were always doomed.
