Corruption

'''Samael has been locked up, and God has left. With their broken Hearts, the Archangels now move onto a different World. '''We will call this one.. Earth 2.'''

A New Boss
When the Archangels first arrived in Heaven on Earth 2, they found the God of this World. He called himself "Father", and would punish those who would call him otherwise. He is by no means a kind God. He will punish even the slightest Mistake severely, and places Discipline above everything else.

Also, he has forbidden any Angel to come down to Earth 2, no matter what Crisis may occur. With that, the Archangels were stuck in Heaven, only allowed to watch from above.

While Mael, Ludociel and Sariel spent their time reading in the Library of Heaven, which contains all the knowledge in Existance, Corvus would spend his time watching over Humanity. For this, "Father" already despised him deeply, as all he did was sit around and refused to learn like his Siblings. But at the end, he didn't bother punishing him and just ignored him completely.

Unlike Earth-1 which was struck by a great Flood, Earth 2 is highly advanced to the Point where it is on the same Level as our current, while on Earth 1 Electricity has not even been figured out yet.

A Ripple in the Clouds
While being stuck in the Nothingness, Samael thought alot about his Mistakes. For a very long time, he believed that this Punishment was deserved, because he would never dare to doubt his Father's Decisions ever again. However, as he was floating around surrounded by the big Empty, he felt something graze his Hand.

Even though he is unable to move alot, he is still the most Powerful Archangel, and so he figured out he is capable of touching the Nothingness around him.

And when he remembered the Story his Father told him, how he created the first Universe, Samael was overcome by a feeling of Hope. As the Nothingness can break.

However, since Samael was not able to create alot of Energy like his Brother Mael, he had to go out of his way and punch the Nothingness.

And that he did, for a very long time. So long infact, that it took him almost twice of his own Lifetime to even start to damage it.

As Corvus looked down upon the Earth, he noticed something different. Right above the tallest Building in the Town he was currently looking at, he noticed a Crack. A Crack in the Air. And as Samael landed one last blow against the Nothingness, a tiny opening was created between the Realm of the big Empty, and Earth 2. However, the hole that was created was only just enough for Samael's hand to reach through. Barely. However, something else was able to get through aswell. A Spark.

A Spark of pure Darkness. As Corvus watched the spark slowly fall down to the Ground, he got a very bad feeling, and wanted to get "Father" to take a look. However, he was just ignored, which would grow to be a fatal Mistake. As the Spark of Darkness hit the Ground, a massive Earthquake struck. However.. said Earthquake did not only affect all of Earth-2, no. It affected all of Creation. Every World, every Galaxy, every Universe. Along with this, all of Heaven was affected aswell. This massive ripple that went through Creation caused the Creation of something horrible. Until that Point, when a living being died, their Soul would always go to Heaven. But now, below every single World, a new Place has come into being. With a massive Earthquake, Hell came into being. Now there is Heaven, which is a single Place above all of Creation.. and Hell, which is seperate and different for each World. Now both Heaven and Hell would attract Souls.

So now Samael had not only added thr Thought of Doubt to Mankind aswell as Murder and Violence, he also created Hell. And all of it was by Accident. Yikes.

Being of Darkness
After the Creation of Hell, Heaven was stressed out because noone knew how it happened, and where Exactly all the Souls were going. However, Corvus didn't think it was that big of a Deal, and just continued watching Humans. As for Samael,he was still only able to reach his Hand out of the Nothingness. And he knew he would not be able to break through enough of it to be able to Escape. However, he noticed that he was able to attract the Souls that would be stored in Hell. However, it would be a very slow Process, which would not be of great help either. But now that he had a Hand back in Creation, he was able to do something. Since he already accidently created Hell, he decided to make the best out of it. He snapped his Fingers, and in doing so he created a Powerful Being. A Being of Darkness. But not only for Earth-2, he created a unique being of Darkness for each Hell in all of Creation, so each World would have it's own form of a "Devil". On Earth 2, it was a Female Entity called "Despair".

Now with the Beings of Darkness created, he was able to command then to send every single Soul that would land in Hell to him. With that, he began to absorb Souls from Hell, coming together from all of Creation. The only one who ever noticed this was Corvus, as he was the only Angel looking down onto Earth-2 at the time. But he had no idea what it was, no idea what to do, and since noone would listen to him he just thought nothing of it, thinking that if it were a Problem someone would have done something already.

After collecting many Souls for many Years, Samael thought to to have enough Souls to finally break free from his Prison. So he moved away from the Crack in Reality, and unleashed the Energy from all the Souls he collected at once. The Resulting Blow would have been enough to destroy multiple Worlds with ease, however.. it wasn't enough. The Energy was too unstable, spreading all across the Nothingness, unable to be directed to a specific spot. And so, Samael's last hope of Freedom had died.

Now commanding the Beings of Darkness to rule their new Realm as they pleased, he turned his back on the small Opening to Earth-2.

Now with complete Freedom over her Actions, Despair decided that the Realm she had control over was just too big for her alone to rule.

And so, she created 2 other beings of Darkness.

She named her first Daughter "Sorrow", and her second "Lust".

So Dark and yet so Innocent
After creating her 2 Daughters, Despair stood before a Problem. After creating Sorrow, her powers were way too weak to create another being just as powerful, and so Lust ended up being extremely weak, and was dying from the moment she was created. But Despair came up with a Solution. Lust needed a Vessel. A Human Vessel with a Soul that is completely intact. That would be enough to keep her alive. However, taking over the Body of a Human is a process that ends up being fatal most of the time, if the correct Vessel is not found. But since she did not want to risk anything, she instead decided to make sure her Daughter would survive. By cursing a Human Woman. The Curse would cause that, if the Woman would ever get Pregnant, Lust would posess the unborn Child, causing her to be reborn after 9 Months.

And exactly like that, it happened. About 2 Years after the Curse had been bound to the Woman, she gave birth to a Baby Girl. That Girl however having an Energy sealed inside of her, more Powerful and Sinister than one could imagine. The Mother of the Child then decided to give her the name "Liz".

Ever since Liz was born, Corvus had a strange Feeling that something wasn't right. As he looked through all of Earth-2, he finally found the cause of this Feeling. However, now that he laid eyes upon Liz, the Feeling that something was wrong, turned into a Feeling of well being. Normally, Angels would not be capable of feeling many Emotions apart from Sadness, but while watching Liz.. Corvus felt truly happy. And because of that, he would spend his time watching her instead of others. Whenever he looked at her, he would get a warm feeling around his Heart, something he and no Angel before him had ever felt before. One Night, when Corvus was for once talking to his Siblings again, they wanted to teach him some of the things they had learned while Corvus was watching over Humanity. This would grow to be yet another grave mistake however, because that exact Night, the 5 year old Liz first awakened her Ability. Her Mother was woken up in the middle of the Night by her Daughter's screaming, and as she ran into her Room, it was already filled with Dark Energy, that was instantly attacking the Mother and slowly consuming her. Instead of running however, she decided to go to her Child, and comfort her. While slowly being consumed, Liz's Mother was more worried about her Daughter's well being than the excruciating pain she was currently going through. And so, before the Dark Energy had consumed all of her Mother's Soul, she did manage to calm Liz down, causing her to fall asleep together with her Energy. Due to her Soul not being entirely consumed, the Mother passed away due to her Organs giving out, with her Soul going up to Heaven. As for Liz, she was then brought into an Orphanage.

Fallen Angel
When Liz turned 18, she would be one of the kindest People you could ever hope to meet. She loved sweet Food, had a Cat and a Dog as pets, and was the most popular Girl in her School, with many Friends. In her freetime she would go out of her way to search for Homeless People to give them some Money, and buy them some food. She would spend weeks working for 6 hours after School was over to at the end donate all of the money to Charity. All of that, and yet the Ability that is sealed away inside of her is still aching to finally break free.

As Corvus watched over her, as he had been for the entire time, he noticed just how beautiful she had gotten over the Years. But then, he slowly got the feeling again. The Feeling that something wasn't right. He would look over her even more than he already did, because he had a feeling that something terrible would happen if he didn't. And then a few days later, as Liz was crossing a Road, a drunk driver is heading straight towards her.

Corvus thought about his Siblings and his Home, and was scared about how "Father" would react if he would get down to Earth and save her.. but all these thoughts scattered in the Wind, as Corvus rushed down to Earth. And not even 2 seconds later, the Car would be up in the Air, Corvus carrying it above his Head.

This would be the Moment when Liz and Corvus officially met for the very first time.

This of course, was instantly noticed by "Father", who looked down on Earth to punish Corvus immedietley. However.. he could not lay eyes on him. It was like he was completely erased from Existance. He and the other Archangels would spend days, weeks, Months looking for Corvus on Earth.. but to no avail. He was just gone.

In Reality however, Corvus was not gone. He was just near Liz. Her Ability would hide his Presence, without him or her ever knowing what was causing it. Ever since the moment they met, the both of them instantly fell in Love. While "Father" and the other Angels would search for Corvus nonstop, he would spend time with Liz on Earth, acting like he was a normal Human. Liz of course knew what he was, but she didn't want him to get into any more Trouble and told him to hide his True Identity.

He would go to school together with Liz, live with her in the same Apartment and even help her with earning Money for Charity. Corvus absolutely loved Liz's Dog, but he was ironically absolutely terrified of Cats. They lived happily, for almost 2 years. But then.. Fate struck once again. While walking home after a long day of work, Corvus and Liz would encounter a group of Thugs. Normally no problem at all as Corvus could just talk them out of it with his Divine Voice, but before he even got a chance to talk, Liz was instantly attacked by them. But before either could react, Liz closed her eyes. And then, Corvus suddenly blacked out.

When he woke up, the Thugs were gone. There was a Knife on the Ground with a tiny bit of blood on it, and a small scratch on Liz's Shoulder. The Wound however.. was infected. Infected with her own Ability. The Darkness started to slowly seep out of her Wound, infecting more and more of her Arm. Concerned and confused about what is happening to her, a bright Light lit up the Sky. And up from above, "Father" floated down upon Earth, followed by the other 3 Archangels. While Liz was blacked out, Corvus's presence was no longer hidden.. and so he was finally found. Enraged, "Father" commanded the Archangels to kill Liz, seeing as her Wound was now infected with "The Energy of Hell". As they followed through with the command, charging at Liz, Corvus threw himself inbetween his Lover and his Siblings. Then, he blacked out once again, as Liz screamed out in Terror.

When he woke up, Corvus's hands were covered in Blood. As he looked down, "Father" was dead, his insides having been ripped out completely. To his right, Sariel was on the ground, badly injured.. barely hanging onto his Life, as Mael and Ludociel had a look of Terror on their Face. And as Corvus looked down on himself, he knew exactly why. Liz's Ability had already infected more than half of Corvus's Body, as for Liz.. almost all of her Body has been infected. As he unleashed his Wings, they were already Pitch-Black. The Sign of a Fallen Angel. Corvus thought about a way to save Liz from her own Ability, but was cut off as Ludociel and Mael attacked Corvus. He grabbed Liz and went up into the Sky, being followed by his Siblings. Then a Thought rushed through his Mind. He remembered the one Lesson he took from his Siblings, on the Night Liz's Ability had first awakened. The Night he learned about Sorrow, Liz's Sister. However, he had no way to get into Hell. But then he remembers a Book.. A Special Book found in Heaven's Library, the Book of Posterum. The Book of the Future. In it, Corvus saw another World, another Time. He saw a Massive Mountain. In it, a Cave. A Cave, in which Sorrow could be found. Not hesitating a single Moment, Corvus went further and further up, but was then blocked by the Barrier of Heaven. He was no longer allowed to pass through. Noticing the Situation, Liz placed her Hand on his Shoulder, which caused her Ability to activate and infect Corvus even more. However, it also gave him a massive Power-Up. With it, he managed to break through Heaven's Barrier on Earth-2. After a quick stop to the Library where he grabbed a Book, he quickly went through a massive Portal that is used by the Archangels to travel to other Universes.

Coming out very high up in the Air, all 4 of them were now falling towards a massive Mountain. Mael and Ludociel tried to overpower Corvus, but even in Air, Corvus was known to be the most skilled Fighter in all of Heaven. And so, he shot Mael and Ludociel out of the Air. But then he was unable to muster up enough Strength to keep flying, and so he crashed through the Mountain, and landed in a Cave. From the very first Moment he stood up, he felt a Dark Presence watching him. And as he turned around, a Voice appeared in his Head.

"You kept me waiting."
