~Into her pent-up anger.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · 13h

~Discussion, but Marie could feel her blood boiling, and she couldn't even really tell why she was so enraged in this moment.

"I will /not/ allow you to sway me from my righteous path any longer. I've nothing more to discuss with you heathen."

Stubborn, but she's trying her damndest to not give~

"From what I've seen /revenge/ is on the forefront on Lute's mind. I have great respect for her, but she isn't exactly fit to lead at this current moment either. No thanks to your meddling or that coward posing as Adam."

She said with a slight venom in her tone. It was meant to be a peaceful~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · 13h

"Call me a deceiver all you wish, doesn't change the fact all of reality points towards where i say. And you, you're too proud and zealous to see that if you are to survive this it'll be following the only one who has your well being in mind..."

And there it was...

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · 13h

Marie scoffed, her arms crossing at her chest.

"No matter how you twist your words, trompeur, I will not abandon my faith or hesitate on carrying out my orders. Abel was appointed as our leader. Whether I understand the decision or not is hardly of importance in the grand scheme..."

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · 13h

"But i digress... and it's obvious you will follow orders, regardless if following such leads you to a pointless death amidst your sisters... such contempt for life. It disappoints me..."

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · 13h

~Still didn't sit right with Marie.

"et pourquoi devrais-je croire la parole d’un trompeur?"

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · 13h

Marie gained a hint of curiosity upon her visage, as if she was attempting to put together puzzle pieces that just didn't quire fit together correctly.

"So, you sought out to taunt the divine in order to... even the playing field..?"

It made sense, given everything the bug had done. But something~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"If it were up to me, only the sins and royals would be waging war against the angels. Hellborns and sinners didn't choose any of it, we were forced into this, if anything my actions indicate my position... i don't want this fight, and would rather not wage it ever."

Marie narrowed her eyes from behind her mask.

"I want to know why you seek to interfere... One would not threaten the heavens without a real motive. Unless I've overestimated your sanity..."

A bold question to ask, assuming she would get a truthful answer.

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"I've asked and said my piece... you're free to go unless you have questions."

Which was her opening to ask anything she deemed meritory of asking.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves."

She spoke with conviction despite the questioning. Answering in a rather cryptic manner through scripture.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding."

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"If such is the case... explain to me then how could a lowly demon wield the holy light then. Or will you then tell me your god is on the side of those who dwell in the dark?"

His spear... she herself had seen it, he could aim the holy light... if this wasn't an act of question faith, then what?

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

~Directly linked with her faith, so to question the word of god would be to question her own convictions.

She was speaking out of faith alone because truth be told? She had no idea if Abel would even be a capable leader.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Your assumptions are without merit... the LORD speaks through the chosen divine. If Abel is to lead the excorcists, then it is because the LORD willed it to be so. The Seraphim merely conveyed his divine declarations..."

She was torn inside, Albeit she wouldn't show it physically. Her power was~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Perhaps... it'd be wiser... to ensure success to follow the one that at all times has ensured you fulfill your duty and live to tell the tale."

This wasn't a lie... it was information, everyone knew the princess and her gaggle killed Adam would they be led by someone inexperienced and repeat such?

~Whomever is appointed as our leader. Regardless of the outcome, Faith requires trust, without question."

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"While I hate to admit it, there are some truths to the words you speak. Abel would lead without experience and with a taste for divine retribution due to the perceived loss of his father. While Lute's choices often account for the safety of her own warriors. But as I said before, I will follow~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"I care not for your respect... i ask you to follow the one who is worth following... or you can reconsider your ideas facing Satan on a binge of anger."

~For the title of commander. Should Abel be assigned as our leader, I'll follow his orders. Just as I would Adam, Lute, Or anyone else formally appointed to the position."

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

Marie's eyes widened slightly behind the mask, this creature was something else... to be able to invade heaven was one thing... Now, it was rather obvious he hadn't simply done so once.

"I will not question whom the LORD appoints to lead us... even if I personally believe Lute is more suitable~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Frankly speaking?, because i am gauging if you'll be smart when the time comes... or if you'll follow orders from the one they say will command you lot... i can respect Commander Lute. A career soldier... but Adam's child?"

...This meant he knew... HE KNEW IN DEPTH WHAT HAPPENED UP THERE.

~Scoff leaving from behind her mask.

"And yet you speak as if you won't even be participating, I wouldn't expect the self-proclaimed bane of the angels to back down..."

She would glare at the other.

"So why did you /really/ summon me here..?"

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"They /should/ be preparing for war... We've been cleared to exorcise more than simple sinners this year. And we've been cleared to traverse the rings... your invasion of the heavens has given us far more leeway than you possibly could've realized."

She would cross her arms over her chest with a~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"I was the one to offer the armistice... and for a simple reason... the sins are rallying... prepparing for war. I believe that considering this and what happened when your colleague last came down here you know that pointless butchery can transpire when the time is right."

A pained groan left Marie as she felt the claws dig into her wing.

But she'd been through far worse at the hands of her own sisters while training.

So, rather than back off, she would simply shift in tone. A more venomous and hateful voice ensued.

"If you don't take your damned hands off me-"

Orchid + Family @bunnyxxorchid.bsky.social · Sep 5

👁️ The nameless angel then proceeded to grab her wing, digging his claws into her skin.

“As I was saying….we have a common enemy. That angelic rabbit Jasmine. Although I will give her this; Unlike you exorcists….she knows when to submit….”

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

That statement caused Marie to grit her teeth from behind her mask. However, her tone was still calm overall.

"Speak again of what /I/ am capable of, and you'll quickly find a spear down your throat. I will not be insulted by a coward who wouldn't raise their blade for our home."

👁️ “If you ask me, the Lord is a fool. Why waste our kind, resources, and time on demons? None of them are strong enough to pose a threat to heaven”

He stepped closer.

“Adam was also a fool. Having women be his soldiers is what lead to his downfall. You have no business in the battlefield”

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Adam was merely a voice of the LORD. Simply because he has fallen, it doesn't mean that the will of the LORD will be forgotten. I would have thought one as old as yourself would already know about this."

A compliment? Or an insult?

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

~Incase of a possible battle, at least that's how it would seem.

"Speak now, I haven't the time for prolonged dealings, Extermination day approaches as I'm certain you're aware."

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Your pleasantries are unnecessary. They fall upon deaf ears, demon..."

Marie simply narrowed her eyes as she took in the armor the other was clad within. One would assume with the agreement to a lack of magic and weapons, they would both arrive in rather casual attire. Yet they were both dressed~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

"Thank you for coming..."

There were no jabs or mocks, only a matter of factness that was disarming.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

~To show themselves. She had followed the very same rules she had set, no weapons, no magic. Only her exorcist garb and her mask.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

Marie would arrive a few minutes early in comparison to the requested time. After all, she wished to make sure that the perimeter would be secure.

Once she had confirmed the area hadn't been set up for an ambush. She'd find her way to the roof of the embassy

Waiting patiently for the illusionist~

Vicelord Blue Dream @bluedreamrp.bsky.social · Sep 5

Same letter as before... agreeing to her conditions...

The place?, the ceiling of heaven's embassy in hell, neutral grounds... time?, in two hours as of the delivery of the final letter.

He'd be waiting, and informing her he'd be in his uniform, meaning his armor, but no weapons or magic.

👁️ “Heh….you exorcists still bother with that ridiculous tradition? Isn’t your leader dead?” He asked.

𝔏𝔢 𝔉𝔞𝔲𝔠𝔥𝔢𝔲𝔯 @angelicduality.bsky.social · Sep 5

Marie would raise a brow from behind her mask before allowing a gentle scoff to escape her.

"Have you any real reason for approaching me..? Extermination day nears, I need all the time I can to train."

~Rage.
