The angel with the bladed wings

She watched him for a moment tilting her head. "You don't look like someone who's evil. What gave you bad credit to your name Mr.Aries?"

"First of all it's just Aries.. Second. You haven't noticed the white fire where ever I step and the metal feathers. Mortals believe I'm the opposite of my white feathered brothers and sisters"

"People can be so predjudice." She sighed. "Well I didn't think you were bad. Your energy isn't dark enough for that."

"I'm violent for an angel.... I lash out on those the gods tell me. I am their hammer. " he said. "I never got your name"

"Clarity!" She said boasting with pride. "You can be Violent but it doesn't mean your an evil person. But your the god of War am I right!?"

"I'm the angel of blades... I'm no god" he said he spread his metal wings showing her the bladed feathers

"Ohhh..." Claritys eyes sparkled in aww and reachhed her hand out to touch the metal. "Wow...."

"Careful"he grabbed her hand. "The metal is made to burn anyone who touches it. Except those with a pure heart." He said.

"I'm not afraid..." she said softly meeting his gaze.

He looked at her for a moment... Then he let her hand go. "Don't blame me if you get burned clarity"

Why would they burn me? " she looked at him tilting her head a little. "They are really pretty though." She smiled a little.

"It's a special metal. It's made to burn the flesh of mortals. And to slay the sinful." He said. "The metal burns anyone who is not pure of heart."

"Well then....I wont touch them..." she looked at him and pointed to the soup. "Make sure you drink all of the broth okay."

He folded his wings. "Fine you don't need to nag me" he said drinking the broth.

"Not nagging just doing my job." She said resting her head against the couch as her eyes started giving heavy. "What..where you running from..or looking for..?"

"The gods have called me to the city I'm only heeding their call" he said sitting there. "All part of my banishment"

"Banished?" Her eyes closed and her breathing started getting softer. "Maybe its not my buisness to pry...but why...?"

"I defied the gods will to kill an innocent man... They turned me into a violent weapon, now I can't defy them... Or my wings will vanish."

She opened her eyes to look at him rathee suprised. "What? Why would god...or gods want you to kill an innocent man? That's just evil."

"The king of gods... Grew corrupted and accused the man of murdering his son. But it was really a demon... I and my thirteen siblings thought it unjust... Being the eldest... I stood up for him. Next thing I know I'm here with metal wings and a pentagram on my back. The pentagram is how they'll take away my wings and soul... If I do not obey."

"That's...wrong! Your not going to give in are you!?" She frowned up at him.

Aries looked to her. "I have no choice. I have to obey, or I die.... I haven't met anyone able to break my curse."

"Your curse?" She tilted her head. "What curse?"

"The pentagram that will be my death if the gods decide to activate it" he said. "Were you not listening?"

"I was but you didn't tell me it did that!" She pouted a little.
