1 Before the Apocalypse

What a sweet night that was. I really thought everything I was working hard to achieve was finally at its end, that we were going to live our lives happily ever after. Let's face it… stories only end well in fairy tales. Ah yes… now that my memory is starting to get a little clearer, I remember that we were celebrating the sweet victory of our recent achievement on that specific night. Soon after, an unexpected visitor knocked on our doors. Instantly, when I opened the door, everyone's face in the room switched from a happy, joyful smile, into a terrified, and trembling expression. Opening the door, I remember thousands of sharp feathers flying into the room and killing off every single person that was behind me, one by one. No mercy… thousands of extremely sharp quills sliced man, Women, even children, and babies. Hearing cries and screams being silenced one by one… while I was still looking at the person in front of me with a shocked expression.

"Hey, Ruki. I'm back." Said the person standing right in front of me, yes, the person that just killed dozens of people behind me. The voice was distorted with a tone of a mix of rage and sorrow.

"I had a feeling you were going to be back… just not this early." The person started laughing and said,

"Do you like my entrance?! I tried to make it cool and scary!" I was disgusted by what this person just said.

"Shut up you monster! You just murdered many people without a single look of concern!"

"Don't say things like that… they hurt me, you know?"

"How can an angel be so evil…"

"Oh, Ruki. Angels and devils are just two different races. The fact that one is evil and one is not, doesn't exist… they can both be terrifying and lovely. Angels were smart to trick humans to think that they are good while devils are pure evil."

"…Where did you take my friends?"

"Oh, don't worry about them. I'm taking good care of them!" I got furious and grabbed the person's cape.

"Don't fuck with me! If I see a single scratch on any of them, you're going to pay even more, and I'll make sure to kill you too this time!" Suddenly, I got pushed away by the person's wings and fell to the floor.

"Ruki! Are you ok?! Sorry, I can't control them that well, I-"

"SHUT UP! Don't act like we are friends you weird fuck!"

"Tsk, I see you still don't remember anything, Akira." The person snapped its fingers, and all my friends were lined up in front of me in cages. "Maybe I need to kill one of them to bring back your senses." The person made ten swords appear in the sky floating around each person's cage.

"What?!" As I was going to get up, I noticed that feathers were pinning me down to the floor. "Let me go!"

"Now… who should I murder in front of you?"

"Stop!" I heard every single person in the cages calling for my help, but I was there powerless pinned down to the floor.

"How about we kill…"
