The Heavenly Ruins
YOLF:
Orcus
His metal-tipped shoes echoed on the worn pavement, and Orcus turned with a knowing smile to Aruna. But his eyes smoldered like smoke, and whether he saw the abyss or paradise within was beyond anyone else to discern.
"Before a universe can be divided, it must be conquered," he said, sword-feathered wings bending close to his shoulders. "Before the laws can be written, it must accept only one lawgiver. When the final verse is sung at the eve of a new concert, only one voice must remain. That is the egotism of God. But the light and dark that came after me, I was not there to see. It's either funny or fortunate that I should find traces of it here."
He flicked away golden locks, sticking to his face beneath the cloak, and his blond braids swayed after it.

Aruna
Aruna stood firm, her own red hair ruffling in the breeze. With a soft voice she said, "Well then if you are the prototype and we angels and demons are mere second models, then maybe I seek to evolve into the next version, something beyond light and dark."
The wings on Aruna's back expanded, the one side turned to angelic feathers, glowing with light. The other was coated with a dark energy. "You know, maybe god's voice is the only true one, but echoes are hard to distinguish from a true voice. One day, god will fall to one of his creations. I am sure of this, but it won't be a demon, nor an angel. I think... it will be a human."
YOLF:
Orcus
Orcus chuckled. "You will melt away, caught between them. As long as they are black and white, damnation and glory."
The words hung, floating between the two like a banner of challenge. The immortal's mood made them flutter with a life of their own, like a mischievous wind. More questions followed, but they danced with tones of approval. "What a thought. Don't you think that sounds outrageous? Aren't you proposing that demons and angels have no free will outside the creator's designs?"
If it was, then her impossible desire for evolution was the correct answer, he did not say. Correct because one has no ability to change the world if they can only act within its axioms. Impossible because to fulfill it, one would cease to be the same creature.
"Ah, but dear demon. What do you think god was, before they were god?"
yinsukin:
Aruna
"Melt away....." Aruna repeated, thinking of the mixture of light and dark. They were consuming one another. Having both... it was unnatural. Perhaps that could be her fate if she kept abusing that power. To take the graces... that was her goal, but she didn't consider what would happen to her as a result. Perhaps she would die instead.
"God huh?" she repeated the lingering thought, wondering how exactly to answer it. "Odd for a mortal to ask such a question. God alone is beyond your comprehension yet you ask what existed before god? Why exactly do you ponder an existence before god?"
YOLF:
Orcus
He hummed, a pleased tremor echoing like a tiger's contentment. "Because my god is already torn to pieces."
