If you can guess where my pfp is from you get 10 billion points.
âWhere are you!!! Hey Ghost!!!!!!!!!â I looked around desperately and frantically, not unlike when you have to leave soon and need to brush your hair, but your hairbrush doesnât appear to be on this plane of existence.
Damn it, their songs would be great to listen to right nowâŚ.It would totally fit the vibe.
I guess Iâll just listen to their playlist without themâŚ. I don't know why I wanted them here, I could just listen to it on my own.
And so I put on their depressing songs.
âŚâŚ
Itâs odd. Theyâre always there, looming over and watching stuff happen. Not to mention the fact that they more than often respond to any attentionâŚ.
At least Iâm better in front. Less potential for damage to our body.
What is up with them? I mean I don't know where they would-
A mirror appeared in front of me. Reflecting and Reminding me of what I had forgotten.

âSighâŚâ Jelly was tired of this; it had almost become just a routine chore in her life at this point. So she did as she had done many times before and raised her arm, she felt the weight of the object held in her hand. That object happened to be a gun. Jelly was in the middle of a bank.
But you had not been paying much attention to Jelly. In Fact, you didn't see any of this except out of your peripheral vision as you manned the front desk. However, now, they definitely had your attention.
âStick your hands where I can see them.â They didn't scream it or say it with any urgency, Just slightly louder and more enunciated, obviously for your easy hearing and understanding. Because, unless youâre suicidal or incredibly apathetic, who wouldn't put their hands up, especially if the person telling them to has a weapon.
Suddenly another person emerged from the shocked crowd, however this was no vigilante, nor a hero, or even cop to save them from this felon. It was yet a this time masked individual who jumped over the bank counter, right in your personal space. And quickly past you to where the money was. You were definitely going to lose your jobâŚ. The second masked individual worked relatively quickly and after gathering plenty of moneyâŚdefenestrated it? Out the window? And they did it again, and again, and aga-
âW-why are you throwing the money out the w-window??â You asked, your curiosity and utter bafflement betraying your instinct to stay safe and keep your mouth shut.
âEasy! Our buddies are outside gathering as much as they can hold, but reallyâŚI just wanna give back to the people! Even all of us can't take it all so I'll leave what I can carry and toss the rest!â After looking longer at the figure you see it's not just any mask, itâs a dog mask. As he threw another bag out the window almost in a demonstrating way, you knew exactly who these people were⌠Youâve seen them on tv all the time. Sure, not in a positive light but still.
â...You didnât really need to tell the hostage that.â The be-hatted person who was still pointing the gun at you, gestured almost exasperatedly.
âI know, I know. But I mean⌠if I donât they are just going to wonder about it forever and well um-â
âAre you still on that whole converting people thing?...PupsâŚyou know normies won't listen.â
The puppy masked person stopped their ministrations of defenestration for a moment. âI-I knowâŚi guessâŚa part of me just wants to hope they careâŚ. Or maybe you know, maybe I won't convince them right now, in the moment but it plants a seed! A seed of doubt in their existing beliefs! And that see-â
âStop! When has that ever worked? Youâll never even know if it ever becomes anything. How do you know you're not just wasting your time, or worse. Besides, now's not the time for that really.â They seemed emotional in their delivery but their hand stayed steady.
â...â The figure went back to their task almost mechanically, but the armed one stayed persistent.
âYou know they donât have a reason to. The resources arenât available to everyone to do their own research. And most people are just going to stick with what they were taught and grew up with anyway.â
The figure stopped and threw the bag they were holding to the ground. âBut why? Why canât I at least try?? What makes it so pointless it's not even worth answering a dumb, innocent question!!?â
âYouâre getting heated. Take a deep breath. We can talk about this later-â
âNO! You kept yapping, so let's talk about this NOW.â At this point they had turned around to face the other.
âListen, now is not the time; youâre endangering our friends' lives, by piddling around here. We need to hurry up and get this over with.â
âFine.â
That one word was spit with such vitriol and spite. that you knew was going to not be fun for the hatted one later. At this point you have a slight air of nonchalance because if they were going to harm you, they would do so regardless of your actions. And besides, you were beyond fired anyway, so no point in fighting back; even if you had a weapon. It was no longer your problem.
After a few short minutes of thick silence, the one with the puppy mask gathered a few bags and, instead of flinging them out into the street below, flung them onto their shoulder. The 2 walked out, now leaving you in a mess while surrounded by worried civilians. God this was going to be a long day at the police office, and maybe an interview? Either way, your day. was. ruined.
Quite Angels? is a short story about a kidnapped protagonist named Zeraphil and their kidnapper named Oganesson and eventually also Ephel and Seraphim.
By the Sword would be a new short story about 2 knights working in a great empire's far-off base against enemies specifically the Necromancer's horde of zombies but some stuff happens and well...
irl people who don't have tumblers vote = +1 Quite Angels?

Oganesson watched as I rubbed the area on my arm âIs that not⌠causing, more damage to it?â they asked inquisitively.Â
â...yes but, it hurts.âÂ
âYou know youâre only making it, worse?â They raised an eyebrow at me, seemingly confused by my nonsensical actions.
I look to the side sheepishly âI-I mean it does butâŚâ Oh shit Seraphim are going to be piiiissed when they see this...
âBut why?...â They sound almost defeated at my refusal to think as I itch and rub my wound, applying more pressure to the already weak, ruptured, and disintegrated spot.
This discussion wont help me escape. I attempted to reroute the conversation âWell when the angels come to get me, theyâll see that you damaged me, they will take that as an excuse to-â
âWhat makes you so sure they wonât cut their losses? How do you know how theyâll even get here??? Do they even know how to get here? Or where you are?â They seem to have calmed down from their outburst earlier but still are a little bitter, annoyed by my continuous reminder of the potential of their being consequences of their actions.Â
âYou did make one point. Where am I? And why is it so c-cold here...âÂ
They chuckled as their tone dipped down, their face portraying their smugness from how little I know about whatâs happening. âWe are on the 6th planeâŚ. Did you not know??!? And about the cold⌠hmmmâŚ.. I⌠donât think I can change that. Itâs just, normal for here.âÂ
âW-What?!??â I paused in shock to reassemble my thoughts. âHow is that even p-possible!â Damn I was really hoping they would fix the temperature. I'm practically shaking.
âDepends what impossibilities you're referring to?â They tilted their head trying to be playful? I think? But they accentuated the motion to the point of beingâŚwell uncanny, even to my eyesâŚÂ For the sake of politeness Iâm⌠just going to ignore it.
âI um well, I know they will come for me. Iâm a one-off, I'm too unique for them to discard.â
They seemed a bit surprised by my words but quickly continued âIâve heard of the Godixâs past experiments with angels before⌠you do look a bit strange for an angel, specifically your, hmm⌠how do I put thisâŚâ They put a finger on their chin and looked down at me and smirked then pointed straight at the middle of my face. âhollowness. â
Ok Iâve had enough of this nonsense. âYou must not be very aware of how you come off are y-â
âI am ve-â
âNo youâre not! You must be a very dumb or very lonely creature to keep me for this extent of time! EVEN daring to injure my divinely, perfectly designed architecture.â They recrossed their arms and looked at me wide-eyed with anger? Restraint? or frustration? Maybe confusion, or overload, either way I continued, determined to get them to understand. âSeraphim are probably addressing my guardian about my disappearance-â
âYou have a guardian?!â They lost whatever emotion they were holding, trying to portray?? Or whatever their weird ass was doing.
âY-Yes? Did you not fight them, see them, or at least knock them out?â
âN-No?!??â They seemed very confused, and now so am I.
âW-wait SO WHERE THE FUCK WAS EPHEL????â
âHuh, so you can swear.â
âShut up.âÂ
They relaxed and laughed a little bit, they gave a seemingly genuine smile and their movements seemed less calculated than before. âSuch a spirited little thing⌠Tell me what is your name?â
Well that's kinda more than a little suspicious. âUh huh⌠if I tell you will you let me go?â They seem to ponder on the thought for a second then they say âI will release you back to the 3rd plane where I found you. IF you promise to meet with me again.â
Thatâs REALLY suspicious, but I donât really have any other choice⌠I sighed âFine.â
They point at the lock and flick their hand to the side and the cage opens. I donât know how that works but Iâm too cold and tired off them, and too close to freedom to care. I step out of the cage and walk by them as they do a little mock bow/curtsy, I assumed the gesture was not genuine from the shit-eating grin plastered all over their face. I walked with them to the door that I saw them enter here earlier with. They proceeded to do some strange magic and then opened the door.
âDonât forget your promise, little one~.â
I look tiredly back at them, I might as well tell them my name. âI am called Zeraphil by the way.âÂ
I walk through the door into the pure light and find myself in grass.Â
Note: There will be no lemons. I know this sounds like the opening to a smut novel but it is indeed not.

Suddenly I began to wake up, my face was hard on the damp ground as I lay there in a heap, with my many wings haphazardly arrayed over myself like a blanket. Which was nice as any exposed bits of my form were frigid, similar to tile on a winter morning. I shivered and tried to push myself back up off the ground, causing me to wake up faster. My head was pounding⌠Sitting up and resting my wings neatly behind me, I realized everything felt wrong. The strange feeling originated not from my surroundings which were mostly dark, dreary, metallic, and gritty, but the sensation of my very being was completely different. It almost reminded me of a dream, where I didn't quite ever exist. It wasnât a bad feeling per se, it was almost warm and comforting, like the humid air, moggy and thick after a downpour.Â
But even though I felt that warm sensation, the room did not, it had decided, stubbornly to remain frigidly cold. I figured I should see where I was and I began to observe my surroundings. No longer distracted by how my thoughts felt. I saw that I was indeed inside a dirty, impure gold, birdcage that was almost tarnished looking. The walls of the room were a dismal grey brick and seemed if I touched them I would most likely freeze whole.Â
My head turned left toward a rickety, wooden door as it was creakily being opened and in the process got caught on the stone door frame. I think they kicked the door open to get it unstuck, and in came a dark, cool-toned humanoid with tentacles where its wings should be. It strutted across the room in front of me as I sleepily squinted at it through the rusty bars of my cage.
âI assume you speak a common tongue?â The figureâs voice echoed, albeit not because they were loud or the room was very big, in fact, it was the opposite.Â
âUh.â I startled not expecting them to speak, much less say something I understood. âYeah, yeah.âÂ
âOh good!~â They exclaimed eerily. âYou can never truly know until you ask~âŚ.â They continued as they slowly approached my cage.
I backed away from the bars, and closer to the middle of the enclosure, to get away from this ominous entity.
âYou know it's not often I find an angel down on the 3rd planeâŚâ The character hung its arm through one of the rungs of my cage and used its other hand to emphasize its words. âMay I ask what someone like⌠your wonderful self was possibly ever doing down there?â
I blinked at them still processing what they were saying âOh yea! I was down there, you know, just looking around and uh collecting thingsâŚâ They just stood there unmoving, waiting for me to continue. âMostly just like plants, and flowers, and rocks and stuff tho. Heh heh, Nothing someone like you would be interested in!â I let a little too much of my way anxiousness at this situation show at the end of that sentence.Â
âWhy would you assume I would not be intrigued?â They began to back away from the cage and seemed content to observe me from a distance leaning most of their weight into one side of their hip with their arms crossed and an amused smirk on their face.
âWell, I mean, you uh. Just look like you have more important, evil, ominous, eldritch things that you care about.â I blurted out and immediately regretted it.
âWhatâs that supposed to mean??!? I donât think insulting your kidnapper is exactly your best tacticâŚâ They seemed almost disappointed in me and rested their forehead on their fingers.
âI uh didnât mean to upset you, sir! Maâam! Perso-â
â just⌠call me Oganesson. And donât worry itâs fine, no harm done~.â They shrugged reassuringly, one of their tentacles mirroring each of their arms even as they continued to gesture. And I had to ask.
âAre those fake?â I hate myself.
They blinked in shock.
I facepalmed as I dug my hole even deeper. âY-Your tentacles I mean.â
âNoâŚ?!??â They shifted onto their other foot and then after a brief reflection, began to pace to the left and right in front of my cage.Â
Then they finally said, âYou must not get out very much do you, little one?â
Just because of everything Iâve messed up Iâm gonna let that slide. âWell, I do go out! Just not often and Iâm tracked so I don't get lost, at least on the 3rd plane. In heaven, Iâm a little less, restricted.â
They perked up whenever I said that. âOh, so my suspicions were right? I didn't know angels could exist in the higher planes.â
âI mean here I am.â I need to get out of here âWhy am I here?â
âOh, I just like collecting curious, small objects to adorn my living quarters.â They stopped pacing and turned to face me. âYou know those wings are very pretty⌠I would very much appreciate it if you would show them to me~.â They kept a respectable distance from the bars of my cage but continued to observe me.
I needed an excuse to get out of here, itâs so cold Iâm shaking. âI donât think I want to thank you very much, Itâs freezing in here and they're the only thing keeping me slightly warm. Besides I donât know if thereâs enough room in this cage for me to do so comfortablyâ
âYou say itâs cold?â They tilted their head in genuine confusion.
âYES, verymuchso!â Pull yourself together!!
âI donât know if thereâs much I can do about that⌠But maybe Iâll try to, if you make it worthwhileâŚâ They said while tracing the outline of my wings from their perspective with their fingertip. âYou know itâs not often one such as me sees anything like this~.âÂ
I tried to change the subject because I didnât want to bang up my wings trying to open them against the metal of the cage âYou know the other angels will come looking for me. And like you said I can exist here, so can they.â
They shifted their weight again as I continued âIâm a high-ranking angel! The highest in my field.â I started to approach the edge of my enclosure. âI'm sure they would loooove to mess up your little stone shack and destroy all your precious trinkets.â I need to slow down, Iâm getting a little too cocky.
But thankfully they put a hand up to politely interrupt me âNo need to make this personalâŚâ They said almost chuckling at my audacity. âAnd respectfully I donât think you're in much of a place to be threatening me.â
I grabbed onto the bars of my cage and stuck my head and some of my twisted torso through them âOh really!~ You must not know the very might of heaven!â Their many eyes flash dangerously as a warning but I ignored it.
âIf I had a few of my things, I bet i cou-â They rushed me and grabbed a little below my wrist almost pulling me halfway through the bars with their hand. Pain shot up my arm and a sound similar to pottery cracking continued as they spoke.Â
âI Know The âMight of Heavenâ little bird! I just-â They backed away from me and let go of my hand, which showed the cracks in my arm. It almost looked as if I was hollow; like I was a porcelain vase with missing pieces. The area that surrounded it looked darkened as if it was burnt, they looked at the area, their eyes widening a little before they seemed to rationalize it.
âWell, being near an ancient, powerful, and (by heavenâs standards) evil entity such as myself could cause something like that to happen to weaker angelsâŚâ I rubbed my arm sorely as I watched fragments and dust fall from it onto the ground.
Just so you know I'm not dead here's everything I'm working on in order of priority (I'm working on them all simuatainously tho)!!!
