Demons and angels, their tale is well known for their disparities, typically the angels are uptight and the demons are unruly. But they may not be so different after all they all serve a diety of some kind in the end.........
Aether woke up to the sound of a particularly loud explosion a few yards away.
'hmmmm it seems some assholes are screwing with me again... Fucking bastards ill have their asses mounted on a telephone poll' Aether quite irritated started to
stirr his natural gift, the ability to edit/manipulate space, He quickly spreads out a sonar like field to locate the fiesty pricks who for some reason enjoyed ruining others enjoyment..... or maybe blowing shit up probably both thought Aether. He quickly found them loitering near a trash canister outside of a store not too far away from his home
'gotcha bitches.'
right as the imps start to ramble on about whatever shit their miserable lives had to offer they found themselves transported somewhere else
"τι στο."[what....... the?] and as they fell with no recollection as to how in the world they found themselves in their predicament they were soon split by a 5 foot telephone pole one after another how ever one was unlucky and found himself managing to live the fall, unfortunately for him he found himself being mugged by rats of all things
Aether who hasnt left his bed all this time merely laughs at the surviving imp, watching the mice poke at it with plastic sporks demanding it to hand over its belongings. Such were the ways of this city you dont fuck with people who you cant beat. Juarez was a city like that in the so called *'underworld'* it was one of the less harsh enviroments to live in around here the energy saturation was decent the rulers were lax and unlike those pricks up in *'heaven'* people had no moral code to follow besides what they wanted... if they were strong or important enough that is. like every other city in the 'underworld' Juarez was divided by 7 sections, Aether could still remember the shitty education the humans had whilst he visited their world, "cities in the underworld are divided into seven parts im sure you've all heard of them. Sloth, Envy, Greed, Pride, Wrath, Lust, and Gluttony."
Aether was a part of the city that endorsed sloth and really anything else as there was no law, besides the law of the jungle. Aether now quite pissed went outside to go buy some supplies for his next meal. Walking along the city Aether passed by many unfamiliar locations which to be fair isnt saying much as Aether didnt often leave his house much. Quickly brustling by some meaner looking natural demons he grabbed the news slab and started to make his way to the outskirts of the city however before he could exit peacefully someone jumped him
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
"Yo Aether whats up haven't seen you around in a while, betcha missed me didn't you!"
Not surprised its his friend the energetic demon of the lust faction he quickly responded with a short range teleport
"I definately already miss not being around you, thats for sure." Aether grumbled in response to his pal Peithos
Peithos didnt miss that and chirped back, " Well someones agitated, let me guess your neighborhood blew something up again? or are you just angry you had to leave your house."
Still agitated Aether shot back with an offer, "Well you're in luck i have something for you, a magic trick if you will."
Peithos suspicous of her friends offer decided to ask, "Well what is it, i dont have all day unlike someone here *cough* *cough*"
Aether grinned and replied "well close your eyes and watch as i FIFTY GOLD ON THE GROUND" Peithos without hesitation turned her head in search of the cash only to find Aether had Vanished
'Damned bastard, i shoudlve known.."
Finally free of interuptions he could finally read the news and catch up with the world
Tensions rise as oracles recieve notions to prepare for combat with angelic forces......
reading through the article he quickly discovered that cities were now drafting/hiring people to fight the upcoming threats
'Stupid angels and their totally not acted *Goody two shoes* attitude, they wouldnt rest until the demons were all exterminated.' They all said the same thing [doing good things will help you eventually][pray to the lord and follow his commendments][better yourself better the community] in Aether's opinion they were no better than demons they too resorted to temptation to enlist members they used various methods such as paying off people to say good things about them, or just plain 'we'll throw in [item]' kind of bribery. Demons simply tempted the humans and offered them to join no bribery beyond satisfying a desire of theirs... for a price of some kind.
Aether later calmed down and once more opened the slab its content glowed and projected upwards, Aether browsed path other news which was just things like local factory gets blown to shreds or another murder case, a normal Saturday for Aether. Bored he finally went to his stat panel
