My Revenge With The Devil
Secrets
If you hear about me, I exist.
If you tell about me, I cease to exist.
What am I?
I am a keeper of those secrets
I don't remember how, when, where, or why, I came to be.
As far as my memory goes, I knew what my path was— to keep safe the secrets— of God, angels, demons, and their beloved humans.
When my lord blessed me to be a keeper of secrets, He kept my existence a secret too.
He knew the power I held. So, He knew the danger it brought.
I was instructed to stay in my part of heaven.
When I heard God abandon his throne, and hide in a place only he and I would know, I stayed silent.
When Michael's sword pushed Lucifer into hell, I stayed silent, though I knew what was in both theirs hearts.
When the snake entered the garden and spoke to Eve, I knew what was to happen, yet I stayed silent.
When I heard Kings conspire, and angels cry, I remained in my garden.
When centuries passed, and nothingness wanted to drive me insane— I remained hidden.
I didn't abandon my duty.
Raziel (True Form)
*tending to a rose bud*
When I touch the rose bud, another secret visits me.
Raziel (True Form)
*flinches*
Raziel (True Form)
*shivering in anguish*
It is the burning of the rose that stops my body from shaking.
Raziel (True Form)
This cannot be *mutters*
I want to believe I misheard, but I don't have that luxury.
I cannot watch this happen. I must not.
Raziel (True Form)
*kneels beside the rose*
Raziel (True Form)
Please, tell me what to do, My Lord
I can hear Him as I speak. He, cannot hear me. He, cannot hear what I hear.
Raziel (True Form)
*tears fall from his eyes*
Some secrets are worth spilling.
Some duties are worth abandoning.
Author
Most of the story will be in Raziel's pov
Author
So, be prepared for that
Author
Also, I am not sticking to just one mythology
Author
There will be different mytholgies, and some of my own creations in this story
Author
just enjoy the ride, and don't try to make sense of it
Author
Side note: I am not religious. Don't expect this story to be, either.
Brother
The voices in my head get louder with each step I take.
I wish I could stop myself from knowing of people's sins, desires, and sorrows.
Raziel (True Form)
*about to step over the threshold*
Once I cross this, there will be no going back.
Heaven will feel my presence. Every angel will know it.
Raziel (True Form)
*spreads his wings*
Raziel (True Form)
Forgive me, father.
Raziel (True Form)
*flies off*
As I flew towards the heavenly throne, I saw, for the first time, my people.
My brothers and sisters, working for only one mission.
Ironically, I know there are not many who know what the mission is.
I am busy in my musings, when a sword stops at my throat.
Raziel (True Form)
*smiles* Brother Gabriel
Gabriel
*presses the sword further* Who are you? ❄️
Raziel (True Form)
You can tell Ezekiel to stop trying to ambush me. I will not hurt anyone.
Ezekiel
*appears behind Raziel*
Raziel (True Form)
I also know your orders are to bring me to Michael unscath.
Ezekiel
*laughs* You sure know stuff, huh?
Raziel (True Form)
*tries to copy the sound of his laugh*
I try to laugh like he did, but the sound from my throat is so strange I stop.
Raziel (True Form)
*disheartened*
Gabriel
*moves closer to him* Who are you?
His expression changes when he hears my name.
Gabriel
*mumbles* It can't be
Gabriel
*lowers his sword*
Raziel (True Form)
Please, take me to Michael.
Gabriel
Hm *bows before him*
Ezekiel
Gabriel, what are you doing? What if he-
Raziel (True Form)
I have no hidden weapons, Ezekiel.
Ezekiel
*thinking something*
Raziel (True Form)
No, not even in my shoes...or wings
Gabriel
*glares at Ezekiel*
Gabriel
Follow us, Brother
It feels comforting to be talking to my family.
I can't help but feel resentful at God for having kept this from me.
Author
Okay, so Raziel's powers are not mind reading
Author
It's reading secrets
Author
Which means, he can only hear what you don't want him to hear
Author
Like, let's say I am singing a song in my head. He won't hear that
Author
But, if I was planning to rob a bank, he would hear that.
Author
Am I making sense??
Powers
Ezekiel
Who is he, exactly? *whispers to Gabriel*
Gabriel
Did you forget your lessons?
Ezekiel
Maybe. *looks at Raziel* His wings are...strange.
Raziel (True Form)
*flies close to them*
Raziel (True Form)
There's no need to whisper
Ezekiel
*flinches* Stop sneaking up on me!
I put some distance between us, afraid of having offended him.
Raziel (True Form)
Please pardon me
Ezekiel
*staring at his face*
Gabriel
*coughs* We're here
Gabriel
*lands on the ground*
Raziel (True Form)
*lands*
Are my wings really that strange?
Raziel (True Form)
*hides his wings*
Raziel (True Form)
*immediately goes next to Gabriel*
Raziel (True Form)
Just leave me at the gates. I must talk to Michael alone
Gabriel
I am afraid I can't let that happen
There was no use fighting him over this.
He was only being a good soldier, after all.
I watched the tall doors open and close behind us.
There was only one angel inside, sitting on the throne that once belonged to our Father.
Gabriel
*makes obeisance* I have brought you the intruder, Brother.
Raziel (True Form)
*staring at Michael*
Raziel (True Form)
You look different than I imagined, Michael
Michael (True Form)
*rises from his throne* You're Raziel?
Raziel (True Form)
If you believe me
Michael (True Form)
Oh, trust me, I do.
Raziel (True Form)
*smiles*
Michael (True Form)
Right, you don't have to trust me.
Michael (True Form)
You already know. *chuckles*
Ezekiel
Right, I remember now. He's the angel of secrets. *immediately embarrassed*
I give Ezekiel a smile, assuring him his secrets are safe with me.
Ezekiel
But...I thought you died in the holy war-
Michael (True Form)
So did we all.
Michael (True Form)
Where were you all this time?
Raziel (True Form)
Somewhere
That there is a place in heaven that angels can't see, is surely a valuable asset.
Knowing what I do, it would be stupid to let that asset go.
Michael (True Form)
*staring at Raziel*
Michael (True Form)
*steps closer*
His face inches away from mine, as if he's trying to hear what I do.
Michael (True Form)
Gabriel, Ezekiel.
Michael (True Form)
Thank you for bringing him here.
Michael (True Form)
You may leave now
Gabriel
*gets up to leave*
Raziel (True Form)
*places a hand on Gabriel's shoulder*
Gabriel
*raises an eyebrow*
Raziel (True Form)
Your fear is not irrational.
Raziel (True Form)
*smiles* I might not see you again.
Raziel (True Form)
So, when the time arrives, remember. Fear is not a sin.
Gabriel
*removes his hand* I don't know what you are talking about ❄️
Ezekiel
Do you have something to say to me too? *curious*
Raziel (True Form)
*leans closer to his ears* You shouldn't fall asleep while flying
Michael (True Form)
Leave ❄️
Once they were gone, the air in the room shifted.
Michael led me near the throne.
Michael (True Form)
How do your powers work?
Raziel (True Form)
*runs his hand over the throne* They work well
Michael (True Form)
*mirthless laugh* How much do you know?
Raziel (True Form)
*cuts his hand on a stray gold pin*
Blood dripped from my finger onto the throne, first of many drops that will follow.
