I Asked About Why We Fight [[Story]] « Thread Started on Sept 7, 2009, 5:52pm »
The Cemetery was just as Evan remembered it last time his visited. The set of graves still had flowers upon it from the last time he dropped by, though they looked miserable and wilted now. "Perhaps it's been too long," Evan muttered softly, running his fingers along the tops of the graves. Getting on his knees, Evan said a prayer even though he was not the religious type. "I'll continue, mother, living and breathing with purpose and justice. I'll continue, father, holding fast to my past while weaving together my future."
Reluctantly, Evan tore himself from his parent's graves and began walking back towards the church. The Cemetery always gave Evan an awful feeling in the pit of his stomach, but it only grew worse when he saw something from the corner of his eye. He never was the type to run away, so he quietly changed directions, heading towards an odd enclosure of large tombstones. There were no inscriptions on most of the headstones and they were covered in green-life. "I've never looked over here before," Evan uttered as he looked about.
Walking past a pair of close graves, Evan came to a large stone slab that had been carefully engraved. In the center there was a winged angel, and a wingless devil with a tail, both female. In the image, the angel seemed to be ready to tear off her wings. "That's... peculiar," Evan muttered as he took a closer look. In small neat writing there was a line that said 'We need no wings', but the rest of the message was too worn to read. "This is so weird," He squinted and grazed the picture with his fingertips, "What is this about?"

The Cemetery was calming for Aingeal. Though there was suffering in every gravestone, she told herself that all of the people in the ground were happier in heaven. Aingeal was happy in heaven once. She frowned as she thought on the state of this city. Of the world. There was still so much work to be done, and yet no Flint anywhere she looked. "Bastard," She muttered through a sudden onrush of tears, "Where the fuck did you go?"
The sound of shuffling pulled Aingeal from her anger. That human, Evan if she remembered properly, stood before two graves with flowers in his hand. "Loved ones?" Aingeal said softly as she move in closer, keeping hidden by graves or trees. He said a prayer, down on his knees. "Don't think I've ever seen him like that before," She said under her breath, "He seems almost... decent." The only encounters that Aingeal had with Evan before tended to be by the barrel of a gun. He was so brash and cruel to anything that got in his way.
As the man began to move away, Aingeal couldn't resist following him on his way back to the church. He seemed so tense. Of course he had good reason to be; things were following him in the shadows. If Aingeal could be considered a thing that is. When he was alerted by something, Aingeal was sure she'd been had, but it appeared that someone else was diverting his attention. He walked towards The Cove, which is what Aingeal called it, seemingly confused, as if he'd never seen it before. Whenever Aingeal came to the cemetery she often spent time in that enclosure. It was mysterious, but obviously a grave site for angels and even a devil who died in the last war.
The place was beautiful to her eyes. There were many carvings and stories of the last war there, but Evan seemed to focus on one specific one. The stone he looked at was one that Aingeal found fascinating and peculiar. A joining of an Angel and a Devil. Perhaps the only occurrence of such in the old war. It only made it even more odd that it was two women together. "What is this about?" Evan muttered softly to no one. Aingeal took this as her cue to come from her hiding.
"That's from the war," Aingeal started, walking into the clearing. "A devil once devoted her life to the angel's way of life, but no one would believe she was serious so she tore off her wings in front of Flint. Devil's squirmed in pain as they watched and angels rushed to her side to stop the bleeding. That devil didn't want to be who she was anymore, so she changed." As she spoke, Aingeal recalled watching the happenings from her perch in heaven. She never knew that devil personally, but angels all over heard of her. "As time went on, the devil learned how hard an angel's way of life was without wings. An angel with a bright heart stood by her side through all of her hardships, but she grew weary of watching her beloved suffer alone. The angel tore off her wings for the devil. They all ended up dying in the war though." Aingeal held malice in her voice as she uttered the last sentence.

"You!" Evan cried, whipping around as Aingeal began to speak. After that he stayed silent for her talk, trying to make sense of it. Before hearing her devotion, the sight of a devil's wings getting pulled off would have probably made Evan smirk. He thought of the two women and wondered what the hell those two idiots were thinking. Aingeal seemed almost passionate about the story and it made Evan sick.
"Why do we fight? To die?"
Her words didn't seem to get through to Evan at all. He moved right past her question and began in, "Those two must have been defective. The thought that a devil would quit being a hellion is absolutely insane. Angel's aren't meant to be with devils or humans for that matter. You're all just a bother to this world. You've your own worlds to live in, this one is ours." The guns at his sides suddenly seemed so appealing, though he knew he shouldn't dare pull one out at a time like this.
