• Grim Angels

    Hello, Author speaking~^-^~
    This is story is in memory of a game called ”Riviera”, Although the characters are different its still the same XD…. Here are the three main characters that will be showed first:

    Ephraim- a blond haired boy, Ephraim is a devoted angel who does tasks with great results... in his spare time he prefers reading a books…he wears a red cloak, and has a secret that will be later on showed in the story

    Diviner (weapon): Ephrial, a fire based scythe

    Luther- a brown haired boy, he wears a scarf similar to cloud (final fantasy), he lost his ability to see, and will also be showed later on in the story..

    Diviner (weapon): Luphier, an ice based spear

    Matthew- a black haired boy, he loves helping people in need, although he may look formal and adequate he can be funny and gross time to time, but he’s still a great person…

    Diviner (weapon): mavrine, a holy based sword


    Now that you know the characters, let us start the story….



    Once there was a world where angels and demons lived together in peaceful harmony… But everything changed when the demons started rebelling because of being treated lower than the angels.... Angels were pacifists so they avoided fights with the demons by hiding, the world was slowly being overrun by demons… in a desperate attempt to save the world the gods sacrificed their lives to summon a different kind of angel… black-winged demon slayers filled the sky, these angels were called ”Grim Angels”, each held special holy weapons called “diviners”….



    A great war between angels and demons started…With these angels the world was slowly turned to normal, Demons in desperation to survive made a treaty with the angels to separate the world… now the world was separated to Asgard, world of the angels, and Utgard , the world of the demons … but yet another dark event is slowly looming forward…..the story starts of a Asgard, three grim angels were being assigned to a duty…..

    ~Asgard~
    The three grim angels stood at the front of a crystalline door, I shined so elegantly as light shone on it… two angels opened the door slowly, inside revealed the 7 magi, the agents of the gods…



    Ephraim: grim angels at your service…
    Luther: could I ask a question…?
    1st magi: you may…..
    Luther: is this about the reappearing of the demons…?
    1st: yes…unfortunately demons start appearing in Riviera… the world in the middle of Asgard and Utgard…..
    2nd: if the appearance of the demons get worse it might spread here to Asgard…
    3rd : then if it would affect Asgard, the treaty will broken and it would create war…
    4th: that’s where you come in…
    Luther: alright!! Time to kik demon butt!
    Matthew: ohh brother.. another mission…. =.=
    Ephraim: if you wish not to come… I can do it by myself…
    Matthew: no! that’s not what I meant.. >.< ill go ill go! -.-‘’
    1st magi: we trust in your abilities… now.. go forth in the name of the gods!
    Ephraim: understood…

    ~during departure~

    Ephraim: you must be new to this luther… so just stay out of our way.
    Luther: …?..???...


    so after being assigned they immediately headed to heavens gate, a portal heading to Riviera…to investigate the appearances of the demons….

    ~road to heaven’s gate, Angel’s memorial ~

    Luther: were here…
    Ephraim: this is the resting place of the grim angels that lost their lives during the ancient war… entrance here is no longer prohibited…
    Luther: really…?..

    Luther feels the ground with his finger tips… he appeared sad as he stood up…

    Luther: so much blood has been shed here… even so, is history bound to repeat itself? All for the sake of Asgard…. I can still smell the stench of demons….

    Matthew: luther….
    Ephraim: that’s because a demons right in front of us….

    A hell hound was right in front of them… it snarled at them, its eyes were blood red, and it seemed to target luther… they took out their weapons..

    Ephraim: enough chatter, let’s battle..!

    Matthew striked first, the hellhound was just barely able to miss it, it still targeted luther, and charged right at him. Luther flew up, but the hound was still able to take a bite on his leg, he cried in pain. Luther kept hitting the hound’s head with the end of his Luphier(spear)… the hound would not let go, and chomped down even tighter, “gaAaAhHHh!!” luther shouted, it felt like dozens of sharp knives piercing his leg. Ephraim jumped and spread his wings, he swinged his scythe to the beast, cutting one of its leg. It loosened its grip, then eventually fell down. Its eyes were burning in rage, it tried to stand up , then charged to Matthew, the only one still on the ground. In a split second Luther dived down and pierced through the hound with his Luphier(spear). The hound was fading… until it finally disappeared…

    Luther: nhgh… what was that all about…
    Ephraim: all demons when defeated fade away into nothingness….
    Matthew: your leg ….
    Luther: its alright… look… the demon dropped something….

    *luther picked up a bottle with red liquid inside*

    Luther: what’s this?
    Ephraim: it’s a potion used to cure injuries…
    Matthew: is that so? How lucky. Luther drink some to cure that wound…
    Luther: ok..*sip*
    Matthew: how do you feel?

    Luther’s leg seemed to heal quickly, until only the tear on his pants were left…
    Luther: I feel great!
    Ephraim: just don’t waste any items you find, they’ll be essential to an amateur like you.
    Luther: right…

    ~road to heaven’s gate, Sky walk~
    Luther: wow, this walkway is floating..!
    Matthew: your easily surprised aren’t you -.- *sigh*
    Ephraim: we have no time to loose, lets go!
    Luther: hey! What’s that?

    *Luther sees a treasure chest*

    Luther: sweet~! Treasure!
    Ephraim: wait luther!

    As luther opened the chest, gas came spewing out of the treasure chest, the gas was so thick that they couldn’t see, they all flew up with their wings…

    Luther: *cough**cough* ughh… poison gas…
    Ephraim: your being to hasty luther… some chests can be booby trapped…
    Luther: ill keep that in mind…
    Matthew: yeah be more careful!!*cough*
    Luther: well, maybe I should let YOU open it then! >=(
    Ephraim: we have no time for chatter let’s get a move on.
    Luther: yeah matthew! Let’s go >=(
    Matthew: whatever -.-

    ~road to heavens gate, stairway of judgment~

    Matthew: whew… im getting dizzy just looking at that staircase! It just spirals up and up and up -.- …
    Ephraim: if your just gonna complain why’d you come?
    Matthew: well, as a grim angel Its my duty….
    Luther: well… its been a long time since we’ve seen a demon… its strange…. Its either were very lucky to not see one, or their planning on something…
    Matthew: lets just keep walking… I feel dizzy…

    ~road to heaven’s gate, cavern of judgment~

    Luther: look at this huge cavern! Their more ruins at the bottom…
    Matthew: wow! Theirs so much light in here!
    Luther: thanks to the crumbling wall… it’s so beautiful. yet, so sad…
    Matthew: wew… look how high we are!
    Luther: one slip, and its so long sucker….
    Matthew: man, this caverns huge..

    Luther checks the ground, then touches the walls…

    Luther: its warm…
    Matthew: it looks weak too…
    * luther punches the wall*

    The ground started shaking after luther had punched the wall…

    Luther: shoot! 0.o
    Ephraim: what did you do that for, luther!?!?
    Matthew: you might wanna worry about that boulder first!
    Luther, do as I say, and stay calm!
    Luther: o..okkkkkkk

    Luther prepared himself… 1,2..3… jump!!!
    *misses the boulder*

    Matthew: we did it..
    Luther: phew…
    Ephraim: none of this would’ve happened… if you hadn’t been so hasty….
    Luther: ….ahahah…. sorry…
    Matthew: let’s move on, before luther touches anything else…
    Luther: hey!

    ~road to heaven’s gate, Heaven’s scale~

    Luther: whew… where are we..? this stench..

    Ephraim: this is where judgment used to be passed on fallen angels…

    Matthew: fallen angels…?

    Ephraim: angels who committed awful deeds, such as murdering…

    Luther: …..* touches the ground with his fingertips*…

    Matthew: why do you always do that? Touching the ground?

    Luther: I can’t see…..

    Matthew: … 0.o what?

    Luther: I lost my sight to become a grim angel… now I only use my other senses to see… don’t worry… I’m used to it… I can make an image of your faces through my senses as well…

    Matthew: cool..! well… I lost my memory in order to be a grim angel…

    Luther: really..? Must be hard to live without any past to dream about…

    Matthew: not really…

    They continue walking through this blood – stained place… a few minutes later they see a dead end, but as they looked down the edge of the floating platform another platform could be seen… they decided to jump…

    ------------------------------------------ Freefall! ------------------------------------------------

    They land on the platform… huge chains held the platform in place…

    Luther: I hope those chains are as strong as they look…

    *rumbling*

    Matthew: !? What was that !?

    Ephraim: it seems were being taken to the bottom…

    Matthew: should we ride it all the way down?

    Luther: why not? It must lead somewhere.. right???

    Matthew: yeah! Lead to death!!!

    * a boulder dragon appeared*

    Luther: ddeemmooonnn!!!!!
    Ephraim lettsss gooo!!!
    Matthew: hhhhyaaahhhhHh!!!

    (p.s. their voices are shaky, since their falling to their doom ^^, the ground shakes as they battle)

    Matthew tried to hit the dragon, but his sword wouldn’t penetrate through the dragon’s tough skin…

    Matthew: whhhatt thhee!!?!?

    Ephraim: hhhisss skiinnn iiiisss rougghhh. Itsss noooOOo usseee tooo uuseee pppHHHiiiisssicallll attackkksssss

    Luther: were abbbouut ttoo hittt grrrounndd!!!

    Luther and the others see a ledge they could jump on… they timed their jump…
    “.goo!!!....” they barely reached it.. then watched the platform as it fell to the ground…

    Matthew: nicee…

    ~road to heaven’s gate, Silver palace~

    Luther: whew… it looks like a palace..

    Ephraim: well, it WAS a palace, long ago

    Luther: Heaven’s gate has fallen to pieces…

    Matthew: even the place is in shambles…

    Ephraim: that’s the faith of all material things…

    Luther: I know, but, still-

    Ephraim: save your sentiments for later…

    Luther: ….. *looks around*

    Ephraim: your not expecting to find treasure, are you?....

    Luther: …no….

    Ephraim: I’m sure you’ll run into plenty of monsters, though…

    Matthew: speaking of treasure…

    Matthew pointed to a chest, luther began running towards it…

    Ephraim: have you learned nothing luther.. luther..!

    Matthew: ignorance really is bliss… he never pays attention…

    Luther opens it… but nothing was inside…
    Luther: what?? No treasure..?? =(

    Ephraim: * walks towards luther* figures… it has already been raided by thieves…

    Luther: darn….

    Matthew: hey! Something has occurred to me…. If I lost my memories to be a grim angel, and luther lost his sight… what did you lose Ephraim..?

    Ephraim: its not something I usually tell to others…

    Matthew: awww… so you wont tell me?

    *demon appears*

    Angels! What are you doing here?

    Ephraim: enough talk, are you ready?

    A gremlin appeared to the three of them, a gremlin is a monster with a hammer, this monster is as small as a goblin, but looks a little like an elf….” Take this! Devastator!” the gremlin shouted, it raised his hammer as high as it could…”you expecting me to be afraid of that gremlin? Ahahha” luther laughed…. The gremlin pounded its hammer to the ground, an earthquake started , rocks flew up and attacked the three of them…”gahhh!! Stronger than I thought…..” luther said “don’t judge a book by its cover..” matthew replied… luther charged at the gremlin with no tactic whatsoever… the gremlin easily dodged it,” don’t be hasty luther!” Matthew ordered, then swung his sword to the gremlin, he managed to give a cut on the gremlin, it looked scared then ran away, luther mumbled” crud…”

    Matthew: we did it…
    Ephraim: luther, your making to many mistakes, a battle like this shouldn’t take so long, that monster was weak… yet you missed it….

    Luther: ill work on it…

    Matthew: Ephraim sure is strong and calm ^-^

    Luther: and who are you comparing him to??

    Matthew: nowhere next to you… hahaha

    Luther: *sigh* =.=

    ~heaven’s gate, stone lattice~

    They walked on a floating walkway…. The platforms are shaking… and are all held together by chains

    Matthew: ……

    Luther: you look pale Matthew, try not to loose you lunch ^-^

    Matthew: what is this place??? Chains are the only way to walk through here….

    Luther: the winds strong too… anything with wings, even angels, couldn’t be able to fly through this strong wind….

    Matthew: let’s just get out of here quick… I feel quizzy….

    Ephraim: complaining again? Don’t worry, its not much longer

    Matthew: that’s a relief…

    ~road to heaven’s gate, remote sanctuary~

    Matthew: I cant believe all this is heaven’s gate…. Is so huge….

    Ephraim: this is the shortest way to heaven’s gate

    Matthew: you call this short!?!?!

    Luther: hey! Whose that???

    A girl could be seen sitting on a corner of the room in the temple, crying… the three come closer to her, the time she realized that they were their was when they were already next to her… she was petrified…

    ???: whOo are… y.yyouu???....

    Luther: the more important question, who’re you? What are you doing here?

    ???: well… I’m Ruth… all I remember was walking in the forest… then everything went black… next thing I knew I was stuck here….

    Ephraim: a distortion in space… there’s no time to loose, lets go.

    Luther: but what about this sprite girl?

    Ruth: my names Ruth…!

    Ephraim: leave her

    Luther: but we can’t just leave her…. How is she gonna survive… being trapped here with these demons..?

    Ephraim: what are you hesitating for? She’s just a sprite, doomed to die anyway

    Luther: why do you hate sprites so much?

    Matthew: luther….

    Ephraim: I never said I hated them

    Luther: then why?

    Ephraim: why don’t you accept the inevitable?

    Luther: sprites also deserve to live, their just like us too you--

    Ephraim: talk is cheap, you forgotten that sprites once served demons, and they resided in ancient Utgard. I could care less about what you think about them… our duty as Grim angels is to defend Asgard, is it not?

    Luther: yes….

    Ephraim: then, concentrate on completing the mission, we must fulfill our duty, got it?

    Luther:…..

    Matthew: Ephraim… don’t you think your being a bit too harsh??? Your scaring he sprite girl… you said it right in front of her…

    Ephraim looked at the sprite, who was crying and forced herself not to look back at him… Ephraim did not show any compassion whatsoever….

    Ruth: I…*sniff* promise not to burden any of you…please… I don’t want to be left behind… with all these monsters…

    She began crying again, Matthew looked at her with sad eyes… then he looked at ephraim

    Matthew: let us take her with us…

    Ephraim: so be it… but I am not gonna baby-sit this sprite, so you take care of her

    Ruth: I’m not a pet you know….

    ~2 hours later~

    Matthew: wowww… so many ruinsss.. you can see them everywhere!

    Ephraim: I have no interest in ancient ruins…

    Matthew: aren’t you the least bit curious?

    Luther: guys… the sun is setting…

    Ephraim: we can’t travel at the dark… demons can attack us from the back….

    Luther: we have to find a place to rest…

    Ruth: there!

    Ruth pointed to the ruins of what looked like a hall… in the middle was a spring of water… still spewing clear water…
    Everyone made themselves comfortable… the night drawed in… the spine tingling cold as well…

    Ruth: its so coldd…..

    Luther: not really

    Ruth: yeah, since you all using your wings to cover yourself…

    Matthew: zZzZzzZZz~ so warm….

    Ruth: see..!

    Luther: well… here you can use my scarf…*holds out scarf*

    Ruth: thanks…..
    *wears*

    (the sprite has brown hair, wears a dress, like the ones you wear everyday? And brown eyes…)

    Luther: good nightzzzzZZzzZzzzZz….
    Ruth: still cold…..

    Ephraim: i…hav...e….no use… for…this…

    Ruth: ( he’s dreaming..)

    She listened to their mumbling until she herself fell asleep…

    ~gate to Riviera~

    Matthew: were here…
    Ephraim: the southernmost gate of heaven’s gate….
