Aruna
Ascending into the sky in the middle of the stadium, she stopped her flight when she heard those words. The raven-haired girl wanted someone killed? All those theatrics were just to have a simple assassination? Why approach her if she wanted Ezekial? Strangely enough, the fake floated next to her, reached out and...
Aruna was no longer flying. She sat alone in a world free from the safety of darkness. The oppressive light of the sun bore down on her. Those words ringing in her head. "Demon, Monster, Die, Evil, Disappear!"
The tears flowed from her eyelids down her cheeks. Those humanoid eyes of hers began to glow a bright red, her rage fueled by the rejection. Its true. For all her bravado, she just wanted to be liked by humans, to be loved by the world around her. Even if they labeled her, it was her choices that lead her to this point. A flash of corpses entered her mind and a twisted smile completed the demon's face, complete with sharp teeth.
She did it and she liked it.
Then came the sadness, the hatred, the rejection, that light, the one that the humans held within their heart. It was so blinding. Thats not true. She didn't like it, what she did. Perhaps the thrill of the kill, the excitement of the fight but the results, those lights she snuffed out? What was it in service of?
Aruna finally turned to the Ezekial who stood under the sun, those tears falling into the ground, sinking into the earth, forever forgotten. Bringing her arm up to wipe the tears from her eyes, she said, "Yeah angel, demon they are all meaningless titles. I am Aruna, the being who serves the guardian clan. My duty, my passion, those things are tied to my agency as a person. My identity is not a shield for my sins. But...."
She spread her bat like wings, which seemed to take on a more bird like appearance. One side remained their usual bat like shape, the other a feathery angel's wing. The sun turned into an eclipse, the dark light shining on the world below. Chains emerged from the ground, forming an iron cage. "Perhaps that is why we created such a bond. Fools are so easy to find when you are being foolish."
The chains crept closer, shrinking the cage. "A greedy bird will never be able to escape its cage. It merely grows bigger and bigger, stronger and stronger until its power grounds it to the very earth that bestowed it. The cage will shrink as you grow large and your wings will no longer be strong enough to take you off of the ground."
With that she flapped her wings and took to the sky. Somehow fazing right through the cage. It was as if it weren't even there for her. All the while, she stared down at the ground, those tears falling from her cheek once more. It seemed almost as if she were yearning for something.
What the hell was that?
She mentioned before they had a bond but she didn't realize he could influence her mind this much. It felt like she was still peering into his soul. What exactly was this bond they had formed?
"How annoying," she said, crossing her legs in mid-air, watching the last of this little interaction. She found herself annoyed at how curious she was. She should have just left but something was keeping her here. "Stupid human...."
