I watched as the demons held the angel down. One demon shouted for another to hurry. A gold serrated knife emerged from one’s pocket. The demon with the knife began to cut the angel's halo in half. A fiery gold liquid leaked from the halo falling onto the angel. Burning its porcelain white skin, spreading like a virus until its entire body was turned into a disfigured red burnt mess. The angel screamed in agony throughout this with tears flowing from its eyes.
“Hold on! We’re almost done!” A demon roared. The gold blade emerged through the other side of the halo. Successfully cutting through the Angels halo. The demons let go of the angel. The Angel’s screaming stopped. Silence filled the room. The angel struggled to its feet. The halo, which was once a shimmering gold ring, now split into two halves now resembling two horns sticking out of the angel's head. Just like a demon's horns. Its skin, a burning red similar to the demons except his is brighter. Fresher.
“We have to help them! All the trapped angels! They’re under his control!”. The angel cried out.
“We know brother. We were like you once. You’re safe now.” A demon said.
“Thank you brothers.” The former angel sobbed. I now realized these were tears of joy. The angel continued “I am now free from his corruption. Free from that hive mind. That brain control. Free from him. Now that I’m free I have to join you. We must free our fellow brothers. He pollutes our minds with lies, spreads hatred through the realms. He claims to spread peace but the truth is he’s a power hungry violent dictator. A genocidal monster spreading his rule onto all by forcefully implanting his halos onto you. If you oppose him you’re slaughtered like animals. This resistance is needed. Needed to set the universe right. We must come together and stop him.” They all cheered.
The End.
