Welcome to Gaia! ::

Abby laughed. "Demons have always existed. They create balance. For every angel, there will be a demon. Without evil, there is no good. Without yin, there is no yang. For all the world, there is the sky. For all the sea, there is the land. For the summer there is winter. Everything has a balance, an opposite. Until you achieve this knowledge, you cannot achieve your everlasting peace," Abby explained while she was pinned. "The long and short is that there is no peace, only fewer deaths."

Abby struggled to lift herself against the angels and managed to stand. "As for the plans, I burned them. All the city lives by itself, free of captive thought. When someplace new is needed, we build it. The city is wild, just as its inhabitants are," she smiled brightly. She had forgotten how blind angels were to the world.

"Did you know, that I was once an angel? I used to have pure white wings and worship blindly. I had died a child. I did as I was told and lived in those slums," Abby replied, staying calm. "My body never aged, but my mind has. I realized that the afterlife I wanted, was not there. I wanted not to lose my friends in a blind war. If I die in this war, I will not have struck the first blow.

"I'm sure you are aware, but wrath is one of the deadly sins. Wild Ones have not started this fight. The Angels, Holy beings themselves, struck first in this battle." Abby said smugly. She knew she had made a good point. She was interested to see how this would be countered.

"As for the plans, the city has grown since the days where I built it. Here's a little piece of information though, above the lookout posts, there are huge lights," she said unnecessarily. She still had not figured out how the angel had seen through the light. Whenever any of the Wild Ones tried, they could not see past the light.

"A confrontation is a battle. It's not diplomatic in any sense of the word!" Abby countered at a shout. "The demons defended against what was viewed as an attack. It was they who were blind to an army of angels rushing at their homes! If you were to see an army of them charging your home and your neighbor's home, you might find that threatening," she retaliated in defense of the demons. It was a good argument to make. Too bad that most angels who served were mindless to the arguments she could make.

"Give me my consequences now if you must. I shall not bend to your foolishness. "The Wild Ones are my family. would you ever betray another angel for the sake of an afterlife you may not live much longer?" she asked the angel. "Having once been an angel I know that one of the first things you learn is loyalty to your brethren. I would have thought that they might wise up a little and teach you how the Virtues should be carried out. They also might not want to teach you to embrace the Sins."
