Chapter 4

Evan stood in the middle of the council hall, noticing the gaze from every single Legion Master, including his own father, on him. Grandmaster Jean began to speak: "You have guts to have been present in the council meeting, Evan. The last time this council saw you was three years ago, and you did not leave in the best of circumstances." Evan responded: "You think I don't remember that day? On the contrary, I still remember it like it was yesterday".

———FLASHBACK———

Evan had recently lost his wife three months ago. He scheduled a private meeting with the Council of the Grand legions. He was in said meeting for hours, complaining to the council what they didn't do to prevent his wife from traveling to a war-torn planet, in the end, that was what the Unnamed King wanted to do in the first place, not kill Dean Lucifer's firstborn, but to crush him emotionally, by killing his wife. In the end, it backfired, the Unnamed King was defeated and killed by the man he wanted to see suffer, Evan Lucifer. Even though Evan complained to the Council for hours, he didn't get any emotional reaction from any Legion Master. He felt enraged, so much so, that dark energy surged from his very soul, covering his body into dark energy and turning him into what the Order calls a berserk angel, an angel who has been consumed by the evil that is the darkness. Still, no one reacted to this, everyone except his father, who grasped his sword and in just milliseconds appeared in front of Evan with his sword a centimeters away from removing Evan's head from his body. The darkness that engulfed Evan quickly dissipated from his body and soul. "Calm down Evan, I do not want to kill my own son," Dean said while retracing his sword and sheathing his sword back to the scabbard that he had on his belt. "I know how it feels to lose someone you love, but you don't stop going along this path, it'll only make it worse"

"Then, what do you want me to do?" Evan said whilst trying to hold the tears that were forming in his eyes. Dean responded with: "I don't know, but if you decide to go along the path that you think is best, you cannot come back from it". Evan thought for a second, he saw the chaos he had caused. The floor in which he stood was now cracked, the lights that were in the Council Hall broke, and the looks from the other Legion Masters was not short of a face that saw him not as an angel, but a demon. So he decided something that was probably not going to please his father, but at least it will give him time to reflect on the past three months

"Today, on August 14 of the year 2203, I, Evan Lucifer, son of Dean Lucifer, will temporarily resign as general of the Holy Order". After Evan spoke these words, he quickly left the council hall, leaving the Legion Masters to themselves.

———END OF FLASHBACK———

Everyone including Evan reminisced to that day, all recognizing the mistakes each and every one of them made. Evan slowly asked: "Do you still think you did everything in your power to prevent my wife's death?". "We've...acknowledged that we didn't do our best to prevent it, and have deeply regretted it" Grandmaster Jean answered. "But that doesn't mean you can just waltz in here like we would accept you like you did nothing wrong". " I'm not here to be pardoned for my previous wrongdoings, I'm here to finish what I thought I finished three years ago, to kill the Unnamed King for good" Evan responded. Legion master Azazel, one of the wisest of the legion masters, began to speak: "Evan, in the past you have proven to be a very important asset to the Order, you are not only one of the angel that can control all four Classical Elements, but you are one of the only angels who can create fire, and even though the fire is very unstable, it has been very useful in some occasions, like your mission as a *Demon Hunter* in the Galaraga System. But this little protest of yours has lost you the trust of many high ranking angels in the Order, including some Legion Master that I will not dare say their names. That trust is not so easy to recover, so my offer is to have it under the supervision of the order. If you make it look like you have lost much of your faith in the order, you will be permanently removed from the order and you will not be permitted to set foot on Sanctuary." Evan expected that something like this would happen, so he agreed to it, and later left the meeting, leaving the masters to discuss with themselves.

Demon Hunter: soldiers from an organization meant to hunt being that were consumed by darkness and turned into demons. They answer to no one except the Council itself. Every single member wields a type of sword, wether it is small like a dagger or large like a great sword or nodachi swords (google them if you don't know what they are).
