God can be so cruel..
It's been 500 years since I been here. In this old shop ran by the old man who found me while trying to dig a grave for his wife beneath an oak near what the humans call 'the edge of the world'. The oak was planted by the mother of all children , it had a barrier to prevent any human to come near , but some how he has broken through and I have yet to find out how.
As the old man was digging he managed to damage a root of the tree that grew around me. The root withered once touched by anyone besides it's mother . At first he was going to leave me , afraid that if he touch the box I was in he would wither just like the root, but decided to take me after his wife was properly and gracefully seen off to the other side.
After many weeks the old man couldn't open the box.
"Strange should I take this to a locksmith." He questioned .
"No lock smith can unlock the box I'm in."I replied.
The old man jumped of his chair looking around the room not knowing my voice came from inside the box.
"In here old man" I spoke.
He turned his head to the box.
"It's alive". His eyes widen and took one step closer.
"No, it is who is in the box that is alive." I knocked on the glass that was covering the keywhole from the inside.
He picked up the box and had one eye focused on me.
"Are you a demon" he asked.
"You dare call an angel a demon"I glared .
"Then why are you in this box, this is no ordinary box." he questioned.
" I was framed, and put here to live the rest of my eternity by the one call God" I explained.
" Isn't that what a demon would usually say in this position" he started to pull away.
" If I were a demon would you have been cursed by now ?" I smirked.
I convinced him .
"Where are your wings?" He asked and made a gesture with his arms to mimic them .
"Bring your eye back to the key hole and I'll show you" I took down my robe and had my back faced to his sight.
"Your wings !! THEY WERE RIPPED OFF!" the man looked worried which confused me. He long paused and continued to speak as he gathered his thoughts.
" I do not know for what reason you are in this box , I am sorry for your loss , in my heart I feel as if I was meant to find you ... what is your name fallen angel? " He lifted the box to face him.
"It is Teahyung , and you?" Politely I asked.
" Jimin" his eyes glistened .. his voice echoed through my ears and a sharp pain pierced the center of my chest . He brought me close to his face and this old man began to have a youthful look.
He smiled
" It is not only you who was punished by god wrongfully". At that moment I knew who he was.
It seemed that we both had stories to tell.
" Shall I begin before you " he insisted. He started from the beginning.
Jimin was a holy being , they are the first creations that god created. There were 6 in total and each had a different responsibilities. Jimin was in charge of guarding the garden of Eden to kill anyone who dared enter and try to take a bite of the forbidden fruit. Many demons would try to enter but all attempts would fail . Even so Jimin felt as if they were coming back with larger amount of numbers.
There came a day when one of the seven holy beings were sent to investigate how demons were entering the heavenly realm. His name was Yoongi and he was in charge of guarding the gates of heaven. In his leave Jimin no longer seen demons trying to enter the garden of Eden and went to inform God. Hearing the news God was pleased and planned to award Yoongi assuming he closed the path where the demons entered. However, when Yoongi retuned he slaughtered the two angels of Gabriel and ripped off their wings. Other arc angels came to suppress him and took him to the fountain and when it reflected his face it was pitch black. Yoongi some how got himself possessed .
Gabriel told Jimin to take him to the cell and chain him up against the walls. Jimin even received orders by God to kill him , but Jimin couldn't allow his friend to have his soul slowly consumed. He then went to God pleading to help Yoongi and to feed him the blood of Christ to cleanse his soul. But god refused saying that it was too late that even the blood of Christ wouldn't get rid of it. God didn't even try to save him .
With rage of god neglecting his creation Jimin went to the garden of Eden and part taken in the fruit hoping to gain power to help Yoongi , but once he took a bite he was shown glimpse of the two different futures . One was Yoongi being given to the devil and his soul being entirely devoured by the sins of the world and losing all sanity when he was unable to be controlled . The second was Jimin being blindfold and killed by the hands holding a bow and arrow. Confused he ran to the cell Yoongi was contained in , but he only found him gone and his subordinates that waited for his return to tell him he's been summoned.
Jimin was taken to god and pushed to the grown by Gabriel and was punished by god saying that he had neglected and sinned against him. God had him beaten until he coughed up blood.
"You dare lie as the father of heaven" Jimin lifted his head to god barley able to speak.
" It is you who had forsaken your own creation!"Jimin yelled. Gabriel strikes Jimin across his face to shut him up and all Jimin could do was smirk and show no sign of guilt.
" Take him to Hoseok!" God turned his head ,shown no mercy and wished to see him no more.
When Jimin was taken to Hoseok he seen Yoongi standing beside him. They were both taken into the east wing of the House of Cards.
"What did they do to you " Jimin rushed and reached to grab Yoongi hands forgetting it was him who was beaten nearly to death.
"That is no longer the comrade you know" Hoseok looked a Jimin with pity.
Jimin looked into Yoongi's eyes and seen them as black as a crows feather. He fell to his knees unwilling to ask why and how when he already knew the answer.
"This is the outcome when one bites the forbidden fruit and betrays God." Hoseok said , and he continued.
"You should have killed him when you were told to when he came back from hell, there was no way to save him".
"Are you so sure if that Hoseok, even you dare to give up on him and leave him to rot ". Jimin asked , but Hoseok was hesitant to answer.
Yoongi then pulled out a dark blue hanker shift and walked slowly behind Jimin to blind his eyes .Yoongi came close to Jimins ear and whispered :
"May God damn us all"
Yoongi grabbed a bow and shot an arrow to pierce the center of Jimins chest ..
Jimin woke up near the oak tree and was never to be able to return the the heavenly realm.
He explained to me that once the center of his chest was pierced he lost the blessing of the Virgin Mary and once he dies he would be taken to hell and put to burn. However , Hoseok never took the apple that he bit. Jimin hid it inside the rights side of his chest. He ate the rest once he was able to move .
Jimin was able to creat a fake body made out of mud to look like him and placed it near the oak tree to convince Hoseok that he was dead. However God found out it was a fake and sent angels to find him.
Jimin was able to gain his original gifts when he ate the apple and was able to disguised himself as a child , a women , an animal , and even an old man.
Hearing his story I felt his pain
"So If you are a higher being than why question me when obviously you can tell if I'm telling the truth."I questioned.
"This box is pandora , I can't use any of my powers on it , and since your in it I'm unable to use them on you. But after seeing you listening and sympathizing with my story I know your story is true and must me just as painful ." Jimin smiled reassured that I was someone he could trust.
"How did an arrow get rid of the blessings you were given" I asked.
"It was the arrow of Hoseok, not only does his arrow get rid of blessings and it can also kill demons and angels. I was very lucky it wasn't the one that could kill me. " He laughed.
I looked at him. " so he was another higher being , and the arrow what if he swit.." he interrupted me before I could finish.
" He is , I guess you can see him as the heavens executor and a commanding officer besides Gabriel that train the arc angels. , and yes I do believe Hosoek switches the arows, it is because if him I'm still alive , he probably knew the body was fake ,but still took it to God to say I was dead." he then looked at me .
"But tell me how did you get into this box , what's your story , your punishment, since it's looks likes you never encountered Hoseok you must have gone through somone else ." He grew even more curious of my situation.
I nodded and began to tell my story...
