Prologue: Angel’s Apocalypse
In a faraway place, namely ‘Haven’, where all the angels lived was in chaos. The devils and the angels were fighting each other. A young man with blond hair, porcelain skin and a pair of cold, merciless blood-colored eyes made his way calmly towards the main room of the palace. Any obstacle such as corpses and blood on his way was swept clean by an invisible hand. He let out a vampire-like smile as he was right in front of the main door.
The two angel guardians that guarded the door walked towards him. “Excuse me, sir—” one of the angels began politely. The young man ignored him and clapped his hands together. All of a sudden, the door exploded, together with the two over polite guardians. It was like killing two birds with a stone.
“This is not the time for being polite”, the young man thought and chuckled at the sight of blood-stained angels’ feathers; the remains of the two angel guardians. In the room, there was a large desk and a white-feathery chair where a young boy was currently sitting on. The boy had a white hair, pale face and—well everything about him was pure white except his eyes which shone like the sun itself.
“Scarlet, what are you doing here?” the boy asked, sorting the pile of papers on his desk. His voice was calm and sing-song like; listening to his voice will make anyone regret their bad-doings, anyone but not Scarlet.
“It’s not nice to see you here. I’ll take the throne, kid”, Scarlet said in a voice as cold and merciless as mid-winter season. He stretched out his hand towards Emerald, the boy and in the blink of an eye, a trident materialized. He spun the trident skillfully and lunged towards Emerald.

“Miss Cupid! H-his Majesty…He…He…” stammered a maid angel who was clutching her injured arm.
“What happened to onii-chan? Did he sleep on the desk again?” Cupid asked without turning as she decorated her homemade cupcakes.
Cupid is a love-angel. She was a rare breed as her parents and brother were war-angels. Just when does ‘love’ and ‘war’ were in the same equation?
“Miss Cupid…Please—” the maid collapsed to the floor with a dull thud.
“Yay! Cupid cupcakes are ready to be served!” Cupid said cheerfully and turned to look at her maid. What she saw made her cupcakes that she was holding fell to the floor.
“Miss Aloeda!! Miss—” Cupid stopped as she saw blood was coming out profusely from the maid’s arm. Cupid sat beside Aloeda’s body and checked her pulse. Dead.

“Onii-chan!!!” Cupid screamed as she ran into her brother’s room without knocking the door. Not that there was a door to begin with. Remember the explosion? Good.
At the far left end of the room, Scarlet sprawled on the floor, clearly fainted but there was not even a scratch on his body. Whereas, on the other side of the room, Cupid’s brother or the so-called majesty was barely standing as he leaned on his crystal-like staff. Emerald smiled at the sight of the bedraggled young sister.
“You look horrible”, Emerald commented while pointing at Cupid. Cupid stared at him in disbelief.
“Onii-chan! That’s—” before Cupid could counter attack her brother’s comment, Emerald lost his balance and ended up crashing on to the marble floor. Blood oozing out of his mouth as he clutched the deep gash on his stomach.
Cupid ran towards him and in the last few centimeters, she crawled her way towards him desperately, she barely had the energy to stand. “Onii-chan…onii-chan…” she whispered, fearing her one and only brother is dead. As she neared her brother’s body, she felt a lump in her throat at the sight of the deep gash on her brother’s stomach. She could even see the internal organs there, not a pretty sight indeed. She reached out her hand shakily to brush off her brother’s long bangs that was covering his eyes.
“Peekaboo”, her brother mouthed as he appeared his eyes suddenly. Cupid jerked her hand and covered her mouth. Emerald sat up slowly and carefully, laughing softly.
“Onii-chan! You made me worried!”
“Ne, cupid. Look at my stomach…I guess I can’t eat your cupcakes from now on”, Emerald said with a small grin pasted on a pale, blood-stained face. his eyes showed deep regret and sadness.
“Onii-chan, your injury—” before Cupid could finished her sentence, Emerald held her hands tight, as tight as a bear-to-death person would hold.
“Cupid, Scarlet is going to wake up in any second—” Emerald began and as if on cue, Scarlet groaned. Emerald glanced at Scarlet and for the first time in Cupid’s life, she could see panic and horror on her brother’s face.
“I don’t have much time now. Right. Cupid, this is the last mission the Majesty will give you”, he continued.
Cupid gulped and nodded weakly. If her brother address himself as Majesty, then this must be an extremely important mission.
“Bring all the chosen species from Earth to here, Haven. Take these throne and seek help from them”, with that Emerald gave his sister, Cupid, the throne in the form of a sun and a moon as a ping-pong ball.
“With these, you are now the Angels society’s Majesty. Never give this throne to the Devils. Farewell, Majesty Cupid”, said Emerald and embraced Cupid.
All of a sudden, Cupid was engulfed in a bright light. “Wha—onii-chan…onii-chan!!” with the light, Cupid was transported to Earth, where she would begin her journey to find the ones that were willing to help her brother and the Angel Society itself.
