PROLOGUE
The Light Before the Fall
The forest was silent, wrapped in winter's breath.
Snow drifted gently between the trees, untouched and pure—
a cradle of stillness for the moment creation itself held its breath.
In the center of that frozen world stood a woman whose beauty rivaled the dawn.
Her gown shimmered like woven sun light; each thread kissed with gold.
A crown of celestial metal circled her head, its radiance haloing her face.
Wrapped in her arms was a newborn, glowing from within like a living star.
The child did not cry.
She simply existed—bright enough to make the world tremble.
Footsteps whispered across the frost.
A man stepped forward, warmth following him like a gentle sunrise.
His presence softened the cold, melted snowflakes, and filled the air with quiet reverence.
The mother lifted the baby toward him.
Jesus took the child into his arms.
Golden light flared behind Him, turning the falling snow into shimmering dust.
He stared down at the infant—His firstborn—with awe, sorrow, and love braided together in His eyes.
"So bright…" He whispered.
"…and yet… something sleeps inside you."
His thumb brushed the baby's cheek.
The child opened her eyes.
Not blue.
Not gold.
But the swirling, ancient color of stars collapsing into existence.
Jesus felt it instantly—the darkness curled deep within her core.
Not evil… but powerful, restless, consuming.
The kind of darkness that could not be controlled.
"The Celestial Demonic Angel…"
His voice broke.
"The first ever born."
The mother touched His arm.
"Will she be safe?"
He could not answer.
Instead, Jesus lifted His gaze to the heavens.
"Father… Elyon… the choice is Yours."
High above all worlds, God looked upon His granddaughter.
And in that sacred moment, creation stilled.
He saw her futures—every version of her that would rise.
He saw her power—enough to reorder Heaven.
He saw her danger—enough to slaughter Hell.
"She is chosen," Elyon said with a breaking heart.
"But she must never be found."
He raised His hand.
A beam of pure white light descended.
The infant's radiance fractured—
cracking like a celestial mirror.
Her soul shattered into a thousand golden shards, each flying into a different dimension, a different timeline, a different universe.
The mother cried out.
Jesus bowed His head.
The baby's wail echoed like creation splitting.
And then—
silence.
Elyon whispered:
"Forgive me, child."
But from the shadows behind the throne, another god watched.
Morvath, brother of Elyon.
The one who coveted power.
The one who desired worship not yet given.
The one who saw the child not as danger… but opportunity.
He extended his hand.
A ripple of forbidden magic tore across the scattered soul fragments.
Every shard changed direction.
Every piece converged.
All fragments fell toward one world.
Earth.
"Grow strong, little Celestial," Morvath murmured.
"One day, you will rise above all gods.
And when they kneel before you…
leave me standing."
Present Day, Children with open hearts glance at the sky and freeze.
Adults who believe in more feel invisible weight pressing on their prayers.
Dreamers see flashes between clouds—
wings of gold battling wings of shadow.
Whispers travel across the world:
Angels.
Demons.
Something else.
Some hide.
Some pray.
Some watch in awe.
Because deep within Earth…
a force long scattered
is awakening.
The pieces of the forbidden soul
are returning to their true form.
The Celestial Demonic Angel rises again.
And nothing—
not Heaven, not Hell, not even her creators—
is ready for her return.
