Purgatory- Prologue
“No! No! Please let me live!” a man, in about his mid 30's pleaded for his life. “En paz descanse” the dark figure kissed him on the lips. A few seconds later, the wind itself seemed to slit his throat through his jugular vein. With gloved hands, the lone figure dropped an envelope on to his deceased body. Around the envelope was a black rosary.
~~Later that week~~
The officials saw that there was no way this was killed by a human. It had to be witch. It wasn't a rare thing for a demon or witch to kill a human. After all, most humans wanted them dead. They were supposedly creatures not meant to exist in the eyes of God. Although, this case struck him was odd. Usually, demons or witches don't believe in God, yet there lay a card with a rosary asking for forgiveness. It had also said “Perdonalo, Señor” written on it. That apparently meant, “Forgive him, lord” in Spanish.
This was a dangerous witch. Usually witches leave a form of dust, a kind of “witch fingerprint” so to speak, but this one, left not even the air he/she breathed. All of a sudden Sergeant Knite received a phone call. It was not a positive thing either. Apparently four more other corpses were recently found in the same New York area. They were all doctors on the Guardian research team.
The Guardian research team is what started all of this. They were the cause if this Guerilla war. Approximately fifty years ago scientist wanted to create a human with animalistic abilities, they also wanted to create a human with powers that could only be considered `Godlike.' Their experiment worked well at first, and then experiment 433700 was created. He was superior to all of the demons created. He had beautiful wings with piercing grey eyes that would make an angel cower in fear. He also had long black hair that would swallow a black hole in darkness. He grew and became a scientist himself. He was named Angel De La Luna. In English his name meant Angel of the moon. He became a scientist by the age of fourteen. He married by the age of sixteen. He decided to create his own little experiment. It was known as experiment 433713 a.k.a. project Phoenix. He decided to utilize his wife as the carrier of the experiment. She ended up having triplets, but no one knew that save for Angel, his wife Cairo, and Sergeant Knite. Everyone else in the world believed they only had twins. Later that very day he killed the oldest, Calyx.
Calyx was not meant to be. She was born a cross between Witch and Demon. That was too dangerous in the world. She could have killed everyone she looked at by simply taking a breath. She was born a Lucifer. Lucifers were beings that were not permitted to be. They were also called Mirrors. In theory, they were supposed to remember everything in their life. In psychological theories, they were sociopaths. The only thought to process in their minds was to kill anything that could have looked at them.
Only low ranking witches and demons were permitted to have children. If a high-ranking demon had a child with another high-ranking demon they would most likely have a high-ranking Lucifer. Together they were a dangerous mix. Sure, her brother and sister were also Lucifers, but they were born weak Lucifers. Guardian abilities were ranked a little differently than the U.S. army would rank a soldier. Guardians were measured as Ascendance, sanity level, and armory status. An average level for a demon or witch would be 2nd ascendance 3/52.
The levels were used to identify in what areas a witch or demon would be best suited. Of course witches and demons did not wish to be considered weapons. They wanted to be normal, thus the guardian war began. At first, it was a two sided battle. That quickly changed due to the fact that there was prejudice amongst the demons and witches. Side three had entered the battle. Round two of the war began. The three sides were named, Guardians (humans,) Hunters (demons,) and the Beings (witches.)
What people didn't seem to realize was a missing factor. There were many other Lucifers running in the world, very much alive, but according to society, they didn't exist. They had no birth certificates, nor social security number, no anything. Most parents of Lucifers had their children in secret, even so the parents usually had to abandon them at approximately the age of seven maybe eight. There were such things as `legal' Lucifers but that rarely happened. The parents had to be amongst the lowest of the low for that to be legalized, then came the cruel wall of defeat. No second generation Lucifers were even thought of. Second generation Lucifers were considered planetary suicide as every generation was considered stronger than the previous. The death of Lucifers was the only thing all three sides of the war agreed on. Little by little there was a fourth side beginning to brew.
Rebellions against the war would do nothing. Lucifers were young when the war started. Many years have past since the war has begun, and the baby Lucifers were no longer babies. The Lucifers were smarter than expected. They were wrong about the theories saying that Lucifers were sociopaths. They were able to control their sanity. They could become sociopaths at the blink of an eye. Sociopaths were lacking in three mental features that were nicknamed `Soul,' `Spirit,' and `Sanity.' Lucifers were born psychologically normal. When it came to a fight for life, however, that `Soul,' `Spirit,' and `Sanity,' would no longer exist. They could get it back but only when after the task at hand is done.
