I heard a sound behind me and remembered that that bastard was still here. I carefully laid Adriana down, then picked up my sword and stood to face the Devil.
"You did this," I growled. He looked past me at Adri, then back at me.
"Yes, yes I did."
"You are going to pay."
That wicked smile came to his lips as he said, "Once again, Heavenly King, make me pay."
Next thing I knew I was right there, attacking him once again, putting everything I had into every single blow. But he was ducking and turning and dodging every attack perfectly. Finally I had him backed into a corner, but right as I lunged toward him, he...flew. He jumped, put his hand on my head, and two black feathered wings sprouted from his back. He did a sort of flip over my head, landing behind me and stabbing me with his sword before I could turn around. He plunged the blade so deep I saw the tip come out of my stomach. Then he ripped it right back out.
I fell to the ground, and with me, fell Heaven.
