Corruption

Hush now, little magician, don't say a word.

Marvin whimpered, covering his ears as the voice whispered to him, echoing through his mind, tempting and seductive. No, no! He had banished it, why did it come back, he made sure to follow each step, each direction! He even made sigils and wards to keep it away from him! So how-

Now now, little magician, surely you didn't think that such a flimsy thing could stop me? How naïve.

The voice sneered mockingly, hatred burning brightly in its voice as snaked through his defences, taking down each wall with ease. He shook his head, hands pressed tighter against his ears in a futile attempt to stop. His breath came in short ragged gasps as he tried to keep his mind from breaking, feeling the strain as the strange power slammed against the door of his mind, cracks appearing and weakening his fragile defences.

Don't worry, little magician, I can keep you safe from the big bad wolf. Just let me in and everything will be alright...

He blinked and darkness enveloped him.

Fallen Angel

"This is no place for you, fallen angel."

"Wait, please, there must be some kind of mistake, it wasn't my fault!"

"The Holy Council has decided. You are to be banished, with your wings chained and your so-called powers taken away."

"No, not my wings, anything but my wings, please-!"

"Silence! The Holy Council has decided and you are to leave this realm by dawn. We have issued an order to execute you on sight if you are still seen here after sunrise."

Marvin woke up with a gasp, trembling violently as her nightmares haunted her constantly. She closed her eyes and shook her head, trying to dispel the hallucinations that danced across the room, taunting her and mocking her mistakes. He whimpered, drawing his knees to his chest as he bowed his head wearily and wept for his lost chances and previous life. But there was nothing he could do, he was trapped in this mortal world, forgotten and forsaken.

Such is the life of a fallen angel.

Underneath the Moonlight

"Hello, old friend."

Marvin greeted as he kneeled down, brushing off the dust from the gravestone as his hands glowed brightly. He smiled and chatted to the slab of stone, sitting down with his legs tucked down respectfully under his body. He took out a bottle of wine from his pocket and pouring it into two glasses, clinking the other glass with the headstone as he sipped the expensive wine, closing his eyes and exhaling slowly. He savoured this moment, underneath the pale moonlight as silence reigned comfortably, the moon peeking out shyly underneath the wisps of clouds.

"As you may know, I have come to ask a favour. Would you care to hear it?" Marvin questioned as he stayed silent.

A raven squawked overhead as the moonlight paled and the night darkened, a cloud passing over the moon as it hid away. He smiled and leaned in, whispering as his voice softened into a lost and forgotten language, ancient and inhuman to the human tongue. A breeze passed by, dancing and twirling around as it picked up in speed and intensity, the raven squawking and cawing as it tried to stay on its branch.

He smiled, calm and collected as the small breeze turned into a tempest, roaring and hissing as it showed the world its wrath. The trees twisted and swayed as the wind danced with them, an bizarre tango unique to the forces of the nature as they began to calm. The winds bid them goodbye as they breezed past, howling and shrieking, searching for the next unfortunate victim.

"Thank you, old friend," Marvin stood up, still smiling serenely as he leaned in and brushed the ice cold stone tenderly as he spoke again in that strange, mystical language, "I'm afraid this may be the last time we will meet in this realm. I hope our next meeting won't be in such regrettable situations. Farewell, old friend."

He stood up abruptly and walked away, his cape fluttering from the sudden movement as the moonlight guided his path.

Overhead, a raven flapped its wings and flew away.

Songbird

"You can run but you can't hide, little songbird."

Marvin chuckled as he walked down the long winded hallways of his palace, hands clasped behind his back. His green-blue eyes were darkened with sinful desires, swirling with madness as he grinned maliciously, wiping off the blood from his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Come out, come out, little songbird. Oh, how I've missed your singing," he shivered, the smile widening into impossible proportions, pupils dilated into mere prinpicks to further cement his disturbing image, "come now, my little songbird, my patience is quickly running out, and you wouldn't like me when I'm impatient, sweetheart."

His breaths began to quicken as he snarled at the image of his songbird being taken away from him, eyes glowing impossibly bright. He lashed out furiously, destroying a stray table and vase, as he tightened his fists, long black nails piercing his palms and drawing blood.

His eyes scanned his surroundings frantically as he began to run, a small chuckle escaping him as he imagined his little songbird, shivering from fright and their bright innocent eyes staring back at his fearfully. Oh, how he loved his songbird so much that he feared his heart was going to burst, beating so loud and fast he feared that the other may have heard it. No matter, it would all be another testament of his love to his songbird.

He laughed as he entered a room, kicking the door off its hinges and rushing towards his most prized possession, his love, his obsession.

His songbird screamed and he smiled.
