May 12th 2008: Hello again. After many months I'm back to finish this story. But, I've decided to rewrite the chapters posted so far, I am not that satisfied with them at the moment. Thanks to all my former readers, I hope you will be satisfied with the new version and (hopefully) review it.

Rating: T-M (for violence, language and later chapters...)

Summary: The fallen angel, mutated and humiliated, accepts Mammon's offer to serve the evil. The first task for him is to get rid of Constantine. When Constantine's double appears and the life is slowly drawn from the exorcist, he has to work with detective Dodson once more to save the world again...and his life too.

Prologue

The dark temple was enormous. Every sound would echo in these walls, creating an illusion of never being alone. Tens of torches were illuminating the room, but the shadows were much thicker than anywhere else in the world. These were the shadows that demons only could cast. However, there was no demon in the room.

You couldn't say there wasn't anything special about the temple. There were some columns, statues (some of them shattered) and a huge white altar. But at the moment, it wasn't as much white as it could have been. There was blood on it, the red liquid dribbling slowly to the ground, creating a small pool. Chuckling sharply, the creature standing before the the statue of a winged woman turned around.

His wings burned as he fell, the smell of smoke was making him sick. Maer knew very well what was happening to him: he would always laugh at the ones suffering by this fate, although he was - used to be - an angel. However cruel it was, he would always think that the fallen angels deserved what they've got, the pain only making them understand their mistakes. After the punishment, they would - maybe - be taken back to Heaven.

But now the same thing was happening to him and he understood at least why the former heavenly creatures always writhed in agony, crying for mercy. It wasn't like the punishment of half-breeds. Their wings burned but they felt no pain- and that he found unfair.

The monster closed his eyes, remembering the fire that enclosed him and ripped his wings from his shoulders. These memories were painful.

His tears instantly turned into steam as he cried. The punishment has been the worst one that God has ever given to anyone- the other fallen angels could at least have a human body, live like humans...and die like them. Not Maer, though. How he regretted his sin then; he would do almost anything in the world to be able to go back home. But it was too late.

The intensively green eyes interlaced with thin yellow fibres shot open as he hissed something obscure, turning his head towards the altar. There was something wrong with the shadow behind it; what was it, lying behind the white stone?

The golden hair turning into slimy, ripped strings, he knew that even if he was offered to return back to His kingdom, he wouldn't go. As his appearance changed, his heart burned too, until there was nothing left but ashes. Anger replaced kindness. Lust for blood and suffering replaced all good intentions. A completely new species was born.

But that was many years ago.

His lips moved. "Soon...very soon I will succes, my lord." He tilted his head, listening to a silent reply that only he could hear. "He's dead. The most dangerous enemy of yours is being held as a prisoner in your realm where no one can escape from. And about the exorcist..." Maer remained silent for a while, thinking. Then a slight smile appeared on his face. "No. He doesn't know anything, but if you wish...I can take care of him."

He knew now, he knew it since the day that Mammon offered him his help, that this was where he belonged. Not amongst the angels, not amognst the demons or humans. It was right there, where he could use his unique powers for which he's been driven out from Heaven.

The fallen angel closed his eyes and nodded, answering his lord. "I shall."


Well, that's it. Review it if you liked, please.
