Pain. That's all that she could remember was immense pain, then darkness. Blissful, cool, empty darkness. Maybe it was over...?
She tried to stand on one white foot, but excruciating pain flooded through her weakened body, and she sank to the ground again.
No, not yet. Too much pain.
There was a soft rustle of wings to her right, and a hand gently rested on the white, winged, cat's back.
"Exsisto vigoratus tener unus." A male voice whispered, "Is est non vestri vicis etiamnunc."
The weight lifted from her back, and with another soft rustle, the presence was gone. The pain went with him.
She arched her back, stretching to her feet. Pure white, soft, feathery wings stretched out above her, then folded gently to her sides. Angel blinked a few times, wondering vaguely which angel had revived her.
A brown and black cat approached her through the settling dust.
"Angel? That you?" A rough female voice asked.
"Yeah Chloie. I'm over here." She called to the other cat, shaking herself hard. "What happened?"
"Isaac told me he healed you out here." Chloie stopped before Angel, her lavender eyes wide with worry. "He sent me for you. The Taito declared war on us. Isaac said that they aren't going to help us unless the demons get involved. 'The Enai and Taito relations don't concern us' or some bull like that." The servant of Heaven spat with annoyance. "Like we don't help them all the time."
"We are made only to serve Heaven and the angels, Chloie. You know that." Angel smiled. "So what happened? I was going to deliver my report..." She trailed off as Chloie's face twisted back into anguish.
"They declared war and before we even had time to prepare, they attacked. Blew a hole right down here. If you go up high you can see the extent of the damage. We need to get back to our plane. You have a meeting that you were requested to attend."
"Me? But I'm not a High Enai. I'm not even on the Lesser Council. I'm not much older than you." Angel shook her head, but when Chloie's eyes started to glow, she jumped planes anyway back to their own. Chloie instantly took her true form, relaxing visibly as the warmth of home and Heaven went through her soul. She was still a cat like creature, but there similarities ended. Angel admired Chloie's true form for a moment; the Enai was at the absolute lowest of the Enai chain of command. No one was below her. But she was still so comfortable with everyone.
Angel took her own true form, which vaguely resembled a Valkyrie. Her white wings were still folded gracefully behind her, and biding Chloie farewell, she jumped to the restricted plane reserved for High Council meetings. Only those authorized could make the jump. Chloie watched her friend disappear, wondering what to do with herself now. She was nicknamed Prototype up here amongst the Enai because her maker had a bad sense of humor.
The Enai were not born, they were designed first, then made. The Enai that had designed Chloie made her prototype first like all designers did, but he had put a personality algorithm into her, thus making her pseudo-real. Morally, the evaluators and makers couldn't dissolve her back into spirit matter to actually make her style. Thus, the one and only living prototype was born.
Chloie was used as the Enai and the Angel's bitch, always running from one place to another and getting crappy, impossible missions. Not to say she was hated, it was just that they all knew she was beneath them. Half Enai. Her powers were limited, even as a fighting type Enai.
Angel was a true healing type Enai and had little fighting skill.
The sudden feeling of presence pulled Chloie from her thoughts, and the site of the newcomer put a warm smile on her face. "Hi Dag." She said, instinctively moving closer to him
"I could feel your anguish on the other side of the galaxy." Dag said, puling her into his strong embrace. Golden wings curled around her, and she nuzzled into the golden fur on his chest. "I hear that the Taito got their panties in a bunch."
"Yeah. They blew up all of Franconia to show us their displeasure." Chloie responded, her voice muffled by his fur. "And they are taking over Swabia too. And that's just FALCATA."
"They don't like your planet huh?" Dag said, adding a small humorless laugh.
Hundreds of Enai had been assigned their own planets that they directly cared for, calling in the help of other Enai to take care of things. Chloie was one of the many that had been assigned to Falcata. "It may not be much of a consolation, but all the planets are getting hit. Hard. The High Council is sure that they have been planning this."
As if to confirm his words, Angel reappeared looking flustered, highly unusual for the typically calm under pressure cat. "If we don't find the Cruor Crystal soon, we are in for a long war."
Ok so it's about time something started happening on this site again cause my creativity is like um, hello? So here is my offering- The Rebirth.
The basic plot here is essentially the war of Heaven and Hell in a weaker form. (I have watched too much Supernatural lately.) It's actually a story I have always played with, I just never got around to. Until now. From holiest to unholiest and their layer number (Explained later)-
God 3
Archangels 2
Angels 2
Enai 1
Mortals (sentient and non-sentient) 0
Taito -1
Fiends -2
Demons -2
Satan (Also known as the fallen angel Lucifer) -3
The Taito and the Enai travel to the mortal world on a regular basis- they are the guardian angels and troublemakers for the mortal realms. They keep a constant balance between good and evil. So basically, they hate each other. Enai kill Taito, Taito kill Enai. But they kept the balance.
But now, some jerk got it in his or her head to steal the Cruor Crystal, so the Taito are moving in force, trying to kill everything and take over the universe.
Any character is playable, but I wouldn't recommend God or Satan lol. They really don't have a part in this. Try to stick to Enai, Taito or mortal. As for the holy and unholy spirits, they take the form of anything, one mortal world form (Unless they have the shapeshifting ability like Chloie) and one true form (Even shapeshifters only have one true form that mortals cannot truly lay eyes on, even the ones that can 'peek' into the other layers. They only see a weird overly and different colored shadows for the Holy and Unholy spirits.)
Enai sub categories are- Healer, Warrior, Designer, Creator (maker). I wouldn't recommend designers or creators personally. They don't leave the Heavenly realm. Almost ever. Each Enai is granted/created with one special power. Chloie's is shapeshifting. Angel's is a little more complicated- she can bring someone back from death but she has to trade that life for one of equal value. How do you measure the value of a life? Ask Angel. =D
Taito sub categories are pretty much the same, minus the healer. They just eat their wounded or dying. They also have one special power granted unto them by their creators.
Each species has it's one 'layer' in space. Mortals cannot travel to other layers, but select few can see the Taito/Enai layers (1 and -1). They are other dimensions essentially. Unholy cannot travel within Holy and vice versa. But the mortal layer is fair game for all. No one but God and Satan can travel to their respective layers, though it is rumored the top Archangel and the top Demon can. Taito and Enai can travel within their superior's realms, but they don't live on them or spend much time there.
Mortals- anything goes. The entire universe is at your disposal. Because the balance of good and evil has suddenly had a wrench thrown in it, Enai and Taito are going everywhere to all different types of planets. I would like to try to keep the technology level to current or less. Maybe slightly futuristic but no Star Wars/Trek stuff.
Any questions, feel free to ask. And I really hope we can kick this off the ground!
