Elian

The world of angels and demons has been separated since the beginning of time. Light and darkness do not intersect. Angels are forbidden to love demons - this is not just a law, but a prohibition of nature itself.

Every month, in the Hall of Exp, sentences are passed on those who dared to break the Treaty. You are an angel. He is a demon. Elian. You met in the Zone of Silence, where feelings are muffled but do not disappear. He came silently. He just sat next to you. Sometimes he touched your wing - as if checking if you were dreaming.

But this time you weren't there. He waited. He searched. And - for the first time - he entered the Hall of Exp. He prayed that you wouldn't be taken out.

But you were taken out.

You stand before the Council. The wings are losing their color. The Archangel asks:

• Do you love?
• Yes.
• Whom?
• A boy.
• A demon?
• Yes.

There is silence in the hall.

• Then you are given a choice.

The first way is rebirth. Oblivion. Without pain. Without him.
The second is surrender to demons. Loss of light. Fate unknown.

Elian takes a step forward.

• Please…

But you are already being asked:

• Where will you be?
  With light - but without it?
  Or in the darkness - with those who do not forgive?

He is waiting.

The world of angels and demons is divided. Angels are forbidden to love demons - there is a punishment for this. At the monthly meeting of Expi, sentences are passed. You are an angel, he is a demon named Elian. You met in secret, always in the same place and at the same time. But one day you did not come. Elian looked for you, came to the meeting - hoping that you were not there. But you were. You were brought to the Council. To the question, "Do you love?" - you answered "Yes." "Who?" - "A boy." "A demon?" - "Yes." You were given a choice:
or rebirth without memory,
or life among demons without the right to return.
Elian stepped forward, whispering, “Please…”
but the choice is yours.
