Angelesis In Memoria

Chapter one1

Angelesis.2

The very name of the family bred from the one child of a Fallen Archangel and a mere mortal. Only two children of this bloodline were left. Leo and Luci Angelesis; a brother and sister bloodline.3

Of course, the two were the only KNOWN existing descendants. Due to the loss of many records in history, hundreds could also share the same blood.4

Leo and Luci were quite harmonious, contrasting with their family’s history of sibling slaying. Although, the main disgrace to the name was with the young men, who fathered hundreds of illegitimate children during the centuries that span the Angelesis bloodline.5

Leo awoke to the sounds of rain against his window.6

“Ugh... Typical British Summer” he muttered drowsily, the dream still in his mind’s eye.7

A girl, with waist length ebony hair, falling from the heavens while cursing a God that had abandoned her. The skeletal structure of the wings exposed. The feathers had all but burnt already and blood, patched onto her in places, which seemed black in the night’s sky contrasted with her pale, almost ivory, skin.8

The Angel Of Betrayal, once ‘God’s most trusted assassin’ in a time that predated mankind. And no, this ‘God’ was not out to unify all beings, it was out to destroy them, to destroy anyone who doubted its existence and to enforce rules which would constrict and clash with ‘human nature’.9

These rules, these laws, would become the ‘Ten Commandments’ of Christianity, the ten things that were seen as the worst sins ever. Humanity, instead of questioning the reasons for ‘His’ trust that they would obey instead of just using his so-called ‘divine power’ to force it into a new human nature, obeyed; like lambs to the slaughter.10

The love between Lucifer, the Fallen Archangel and a mortal woman was naturally not good. The child born from this would lead a bloodline. The descendants did not even know the power they possessed. The power to slay even a God. The descendants of this bloodline would lead to an Aryan race of Archangel/Human hybrids. Concern is nothing when the DNA of a once celestial being has mixed with human DNA. The ‘Lucifer’ Gene, so to speak, was the cause of people’s abilities to use Magicks, communicate with spirits that had departed the mortal world and even summon up the power to call forth and army of angels if used in the correct style, although this ability had been lost in the family teachings of their abilities.11

As the children grew, their powers awoke and they often found their spirits attaching to that of another. The two spirits in turn could use each other as an emergency life support, if one came too close to their unnatural death, the other would enter a death-like state, sending some of their life-force to sustain the other temporarily. This is where the idea of ‘soul-mates’ originated. A person whose life is bound to yours. A person you cannot live without. Quite simply, the idea of soul-mates is little more than a defence mechanism when used incorrectly. But used correctly however, the two individuals could use each other’s abilities and energies for attacking, defensive and restorative purposes; elevating their status from mortals to demi-gods.12

Back to Leo however; his red eyes shot open as his little sister, Luci, burst through the door and began bouncing on his bed shouting 13

“Leo! Wake up! Wake up!”14

Leo could do little more than squirm as she tried to wrestle the duvet covers off of him. After she got bored of her little game, she ran out to undoubtedly cause trouble somewhere else.15

“Today... Is just gonna be one of those days” Leo said before forcing himself out of bed.16
