Okay...I guess I should give a brief explanation. I got this idea a while ago, but decided to write it as a fan fiction instead. Now I'm adapting the fan fiction into the original story it was supposed to be to begin with. And even though this is in first-person POV, the rest is on third-person omniscent. I'd really like opnions on whether or not I should keep it all in first-person. The fan fiction is all in FP POV, but I'm not sure of how this should be...::sighs::...I'm probably confusing the hell out of you guys. LoL. Anyway...feedback of any kind would be greatly appreciated! Thank you for reading!!...

There is only one thing that I want more than life itself, and that is peace. I’ve only been involved in this ongoing war between what is known as “good” and “evil” for a year now, a meaningless span of time compared to those who have spent their entire lives immersed in this battle for redemption and salvation.

Yet, those who have grown old knowing nothing but war, pain, and destruction know how to do nothing else. They don’t know what peace feels like. They don’t know how amazing it feels to wake up in the morning and take a deep breath of air, ready to get out and make new discoveries. New discoveries could be what kill their entire race. They wake up in the morning and thank the gods above that they and their families are alive and able to breathe for at least one more day.

It’s a never-ending vicious cycle.

I will end it.

That is my promise to them.

I was never given the chance to pick a side in this war. I was shoved into the side of “good” because of a prophecy that had been stored in a book for hundreds of years; a prophecy that my mates sought to make false. After seventeen years of knowing nothing but a pain filled mortal life—a life where I prayed to God each and every day for my mother to be forgiven for her sins—I was made into a creature that defied all laws of nature. I was the only one who could wield the blade of the ancient Akiko, the angel who had been put to death by her own court for treason and betrayal.

Yet, before I tell you my story, I have a few questions to ask.

Do you believe in angels?

Well, what about demons?

A funny concept I know, and probably something you’ve asked yourself or been asked a hundred times in the past.

But, really.

Angels?

Demons?

They can’t possibly exist…

Can they?

I never would have believed it if my life hadn’t have been thrown right into the center of the war between the sides. The “angels” of Light versus the “demons” of Dark, or was it the other way around? I had no idea. I was thrown headlong into the war on the side of the angels, my last name ripped away from me, and because of the stupid prophecy, damned to fight against someone I loved, even after everything I had seen him do.

It all started with a poor, pitiful suicide attempt, and the many that followed; building up until the angels could hold themselves back no longer.

With your affirmative reply will come a generous supply of knowledge from what seems to be a never-ending supply of pain and suffering.
