Part one Perdition
Chapter one
The fires burned ck as Bowen and Labith struggled out of the ck smoldering pit to find Daniel. He
was gone. He escaped through a small opening between the underworld and the topside. Bowen and
Labith have been the caretakers of Daniel and Izzy since they were relocated to the underworld by their
father. They were in hiding from Gabriel.
The underworld was the only ce Gabriel could note. Bowen’s greatest fear was that Gabriel
would find Daniel and force him into the garden. Bowen knew he had to find him quickly.
Bowen and Labith could only be out of the underworld for a short period of time before the underworld
would start calling to them. KoKo was left behind to locate Izzy. She was nowhere to be found.
Lucifer put him in charge of finding his only daughter. He could not lose her. Not now. He needed her
with him in the underworld. KoKo franticly searched every inch of the underworld. He could hear her
but there was no locating her. He feared she was in the void. A ce where there is no escape.
No one understood how Daniel managed to escape. They had a good idea of why. His mother Venus
was calling to him. His dead mother was reaching out for his help. She sent someone to collect her
children and bring them to the garden.
A week before a priest had been marked and sent to hell. It caused quite a stir among inhabitants of
the golden city and the underworld. He was widely known. He had done much humanitarian work. He
was a good man.
Bowen was extremely confused as to why this man hadnded in the underworld.
People are marked for the golden city, the underworld, or back to topside.
Not everyone is given the same punishment. Most people relive their worst fears or their greatest
defeats over and over for eternity. They drop some into dark silence. They mark a select few for
Bowen. Bowen was wrath. Bowen would make you pay for your earthly life.
In recent years, Bowen had trained Daniel as his apprentice. Daniel wanted to make his father proud,
and this was his chance to do it.
Daniel and Izzy were celestial beings, not demons. They were the children of Lucifer and Venus, two
souls very much in love that only wanted to have their twins and raise them in the golden city. Gabriel
had other ns for the twins. The garden needed two watchers, and that was exactly what their life
would be. A life of service to the garden. A life of no free will. It enraged Venus when Gabriel told her
that her children would be taken and ced in the garden.
“My children will never be a part of your ns, Gabriel” She grabbed her children from him.
The mighty angel raised his wings at her and illuminated a powerful light.
His voice echoed “Your children are not yours. They belong to us. They will serve Venus or else.”
Venus began to glow; she is the morning star, and she is bright. She blinded Gabriel and took flight with
her newborns.
She screamed for her husband.” Lucifer! The twins!” Venus dropped them right into his arms.
Venus and Gabriel began to battle. Lucifer fled with the twins. Bowen and Labith fled with him to earth.
The n was to hide the twins and go back for Venus.
“Labith stay with them. Bowen will go with me to get Venus. If we do not return go to the underworld
and hide. The angels there will help you.“
Lucifer took flight with Bowen at his side. “Bowen grabs Venus I will handle Gabriel” Bowen
acknowledged his orders and took off. He was aiming for Venus.
Gabriel sealed heaven. No one in nor out.
Neither Lucifer nor Bowen could get in. “Give us the twins, Lucifer” Gabriel was so calm. He held Venus
up high over the heavens.” Give us the twins Lucifer. It would be a shame for her to fall to earth.”
Lucifer had no way to get to her. Bowen tried every portal. Nothing. No way in. The only way out was
to fall.
Gabriel held the morning star above him. He had her in his left hand and a ck ming sword in the
other. With one mighty cut, he clipped her wings.
“No, Gabriel, what have you done?” Lucifer screamed.
Gabriel tossed Venus from heaven. She fell to earth.
“Bowen, take the twins to the underworld. Get them away from here. Tell the gatekeeper they are my
children. Tell them I’ming home. I have to find Venus. Go!”
Bowen flew to Labith as fast as his wings would take him. Labith was hiding with them among the
trees. He grabbed Daniel, and she grabbed Izzy. They found ake to travel to the underworld.
“Labith listen to me. The babies are not going to know how to make this journey. Cover her with your
wings and go as fast as you can. If you get there before I tell the gatekeeper, Lucifer ising and
these are his children.” She nodded.
She flew high above theke, waiting for a portal to open. A sh of red came from the water. She
aimed, wrapped Izzy in her left-wing, and dropped into theke.
A journey into the underworld was not a simple drop and you are there. Knowing how to maneuver the
levels of hell without getting stuck is tricky. The watchers have to be avoided.
The watchers were on each level. They serve the underworld. They have nopassion. They were

once angels full of lust. Now they are the fallen. They are full of hate and vengeance.
Labith held tight to Izzy using one wing to carefully shift through the levels and the other to shield Izzy.
Labith was a mighty one. She was never a full Angel. She had apprenticed under Uriel for many
centuries. She was a great weapon maker. Her hand-formed many celestial weapons. She was still a
fairly new Angel, but her speed and marksmanship were unmatched. She fought in many battles under
Uriel and Gabriel. Uriel cared deeply for her. He trained her as if she was his child.
Labith continued quickly through the levels of hell. She kept pushing herself. She needed to reach the
gatekeeper with Izzy.
Bowen waited for the portal to open. He was so focused on the opening he didn’t notice Lucifer and
Gabrieling quickly behind him. Lightning began to strike right over theke.
Lucifer and Gabriel were fighting as they flew toward theke. Gabriel would strike over and over with
his ming ck sword. He wanted to remove Lucifer’s wings and bind him to earth. The thunder and
lightning made it hard for Bowen to focus on the portal. Theke was shaking. Trees were falling into
theke.
“Bowen,” Lucifer screamed. “Get him to the underworld.”
The portal was not open yet. There was nothing Bowen could do.
“The portal is not open Lucifer” Bowen aimed for theke. He was ready.
Gabriel aimed for Lucifer’s wings. “You will fall Lucifer,” he bellowed at him. He lowered his sword into
Lucifer’s wings.
It became bright. A bright red star shone on the left side of theke. It was Venus. She blinded Gabriel.
The portal opened. Bowen flew into theke. Lucifer flew toward theke following the bright light.
“Go my love and care for them. I’ll be fine.” When Venus spoke, it sounded like an echo. It was not her
heavenly voice.
Lucifer hesitated. He loved Venus, but the twins needed to be hidden. He slowly descended into the
portal leaving her behind. She could not follow without her wings.
Lucifer descended quickly. Bowen and Daniel just ahead of him. The levels were bright. The watchers
were now curious about all the excitement going on topside. They began to leave their post to see what
themotion was.
Labithnded in the underworld. Koko the gatekeeper was standing guard. He was not happy about
someonending in the underworld unannounced.
“Why are you here Labith?” he grumbled at her. She released her wing and revealed Izzy.
“I have Lucifer’s child with me, Izzy. She is the daughter of Venus and Lucifer. There has been a great
battle. The children need sanctuary.” Labith began to cry. She was afraid. She was not afraid of the
gatekeeper. She was afraid of what would happen next.
“Where is Daniel? Venus? Lucifer?” “What has happened?“ The gatekeeper’s attitude changed. He
knew something terrible was happening.
Bowennded with Daniel wrapped in his wing. Lucifer was immediately behind him.
“The prophecy has begun.” The gatekeeper spoke quietly. Koko opened the gate. “Amaros will settle
you in. Do not worry they are safe here. We will send someone up to retrieve Venus. Once you go
inside, you cannot leave again.”
They all acknowledged their fate once they entered the underworld. It was the only way to save the
children. The twins had to live.
Koko gathered a few quietly to go topside to look for Venus. Leaving the underworld through the portal
was always a risk.
Hell came with those who lived there. IT was inside you forever. It never leaves. It was a binding spell
set to keep the dark ones in. Only one way in and no way out. If a resident of Hell left, they had 24
hours to return before they would go mad.
A human would not make it to the top without going crazy. There was no escape. A demon could leave
for a short period. However, they were always spellbound to hell and could be recalled at any time or
expelled straight back.
KoKo, Azazel, Baragel, and Luce entered the portal. The portal is always open from the hell side.
There was no need to close it. No one could get far. They went up the tunnel quickly and came out on
the other side of theke.
As they came up, they released their wings. They had much smaller wings now. They were not as
glorious as they once were when they resided in heaven. That was a long time ago before there was a
need for hell. When there became a need for hell, there had to be a gatekeeper. Koko was the best
angel for the job.
When they reached the surface, they split up. The sky was dark. The clouds were red. There was a
storm brewing. They have to act fast.
“When you find her get to theke and sound your horn as you enter the portal. Do not alert Gabriel we
found her” Koko instructed. They each set out looking for her.
