Deception and the Fallen by Oscuro, Suicide King
“Man’s mind is so formed that it is far more susceptible to
falsehood than to truth.” ~Erasmus, Desiderius.
Throughout the beginning of the formation of man, humans
were like sponges that easily soaked in concepts that involved manual
imitation. However, certain cognitive
concepts took time to sink in and yet there are certain truths which have been
distorted throughout time. One such
concept that has been confused by man has to do with defining what is a
FALLEN.
To understand what is a fallen, you must first eliminate the
falsehood that fallen angels are demons.
Demons were a subspecies created by the grandest of fallen angels in his
bid to build a powerful army to defeat the creator. History is accurate with the claim that there
was some dissention among angels. The
one I call the prince, has been blessed with a superior intelligence,
incredible oratory skill, and over time, has become quite adept at finding
loopholes in the creator’s rigid structure.
Some angels made a choice that I had thought was impossible. Some angels chose to sever ties with the
creator. Those angels had no idea that
upon separating from the creator of light, their wings would become as dark as
night.
I too am a fallen, but not by choice. My brother, known to all as the angel of
death, and known to a precious few as Draven, convinced the creator that since
I had failed to make a choice, then by omission, I had chosen the side of darkness. Not one hundred percent convinced, Father
decided to banish me to a part of hell called Oblivion so that I could serve an
exhausting, yet necessary function. I am
the dark angel of suicide, forever destined to punish those humans who
willfully sever their ties to the creator.
Now, I hope I made the distinction between demon and fallen
angel clearer, but I’m compelled to address the confusion directly. All angels have a choice to fall, meaning
they may freely decide to fall from the heights of heaven and land on the
material world, relinquishing their angelic identity. A free-fall from a grand species to another
requires great sacrifice or stupidity, depending on the angel’s point of
view. Since angels are from another
dimension, we are not always privy to human sensations while we’re in their
domain. However, when we roam in the
third dimension, we are not governed by the laws of physics, and in essence,
are immortal. So when one of us decides
to fall from heaven, we decide to become completely human for the duration of
our stay on Earth. Note, that our time
as humans is finite meaning that we become mortal, and in most cases, rather
ordinary.
As I alluded earlier, demons are a direct result of all that
is wrong with humans. Both demons and
angels are capable of possession.
Difference being, angels possess for the creator’s purpose and only for
a brief moment. An extended possession
would require the use of a human surrogate who must grant permission. Demons possess confused, weak souls for
purely selfish reasons. Demons do not ask
for permission since they enjoy inflicting pain, and displaying power over
others. They’re thieves who attempt to
wreak havoc on the human population.
Demons are no match for the strongest of angels, the archangels.
“From
all my time observing humans, I noticed how they enjoyed bending the truth more
so than spinning lies. Deceit is in their nature since they spend most of their
waking hours convincing themselves of falsehoods.” ~ Oscuro, Darkness Roams.
You will find the above quote in
Nomar Knight’s account of my story, Darkness Roams. Darkness is what my name means. Anyway, I have observed humans since their
creation. Over time, I noticed how fear
played a vital role. Those fragile
creatures have managed to construct defensive mechanisms when coping with fear
and have thus become experts at self deception.
The added element of deception has made human society more entertaining
than any of us could have ever imagined.
As a result, the prince thoroughly
enjoys observing mankind. He boasts that
he is a fan of man. Of course he is,
since he believes their souls possess the key to defeating the creator. Thus, the battle between light versus dark
has lasted far too long. Countless
casualties on all sides, light, dark, human, and angelic have reached atrocious
numbers. The time of reckoning will soon
be upon us. But before it changes
everything, read my account of what happens to souls who shun the light. Read Darkness Roams this summer. Discover how this dark angel must live with
darkness, yet be used by the righteous.
In essence, I am a punisher of evil, an enforcer of truth.
Until next time, I am Oscuro, Suicide King, and ruler
of Oblivion. If you see me roaming in
your area, hope that I’m not there for you.
