Living in a tiny 'village' as it says on the metal sign when people drive through, you wouldn't expect much of an exciting life from any of those who settled into the old worn down homes. Maybe it's a dream, a delusion... but Raziel likes to believe his life is a reality. He would admit he had a wonderful life, having a wonderful loving family, though they could be stuck up pricks every now and again. He lived in the richer areas of the 'village' with a newly remodeled home and a backyard that lead right to a vast forest. That's where he spent his times, in a forest... but not exactly the one in his backyard.<br/><br/>At a very young age when he was wandering through the forest, he had seen a slight glimmer of color, almost like a rippling vertical rainbow that you might see from a bubble if caught in the perfect lighting. With curiosity, he had gone towards it, and again a slight glimpse of color, though this time he saw the trunk of a tree ripple with the color. Standing right in front of it he could see the world shifting and contorting, colors blurring. He held his hand out, and... the rest was history. He had walked through the little wall that brought him to a different reality, as he liked to put it. A magical area filled with life and creatures he had only heard from stories.<br/><br/>-------------------------------<br/><br/>"You're lying!" Raziel accused his friend, a fae boy around the same age as him, which happened to still be considered an infant. Ten thousand years was about a middle-aged fae was what he was told, apparently, things lived for a very long time! This boys name was Indigo, a purple-tinted skinned boy with hair a deep blue that was tied with bark and stems. His most unique feature the human thought had to be the three eyes. "Why would I lie, I saw it with my own eye!" He exclaimed, causing Raziel to start laughing at the phrase. "Why're you laughing?" Came a bitter growl, "Normally we say eyes... because y'know," He tried to explain before just shaking his head and waving his hand to dismiss the laughter. There was something better to be talked about.<br/><br/>"I thought you couldn't kill here, you're lying about one," Indigo had told him that there was a dead patch of grass not too far from them, which made Raziel's jaw hit the ground. "I swear! This is Mother Nature's garden, I thought nothing could die," Hand on heart the fae swore. It was Mother Nature's sanctuary and she had said nothing bad could happen there, nothing would die. The only seasons being summer and spring. It held every lasting life. Then, what had his friend seen?<br/><br/>His feet stopped a little faster than his brain could process and he nearly toppled over nothing. But, when all of him caught up his eyes filled with worry at the sight of singed grass in what looked like a print... though the print messy so he was unable to tell if it belonged to some creature he knew.<br/><br/>"Told you," Indigo muttered. "Okay, but what is it?" Silence, the boy's eye looking away to anything besides Raziel, which didn't sit right with him. It couldn't be anything good. Indigo was often a very loud and excited fae who was excited to show and explain anything to him. But now.. the silence, the anxious look and the way his pointed ears twitched-- it made his stomach turn.<br/><br/>"Fine, it'll just follow it," He sighed, walking past the first print to follow it's path. "Raz you shouldn't! No, you really shouldn't. I-It's.. something humans are very afraid of, for the damned and wicked.." Furrowing his brows he felt heat taint his cheeks, damned and wicked. "Something from Hell then?" He asked, turning around. "Something like that..." Jaw clenching he started to run. He didn't believe it, he couldn't believe it. This was a place of life and something from hell? He had to be lying.<br/><br/>It was a long trail to follow until there was a large opening he had never seen before. In the center was a barrier much like the one that leads into the forest. He saw something inside of it, squinting his eyes he felt his heart drop. "It's a person! Oh my god, it's a person we have to get him out of there!" It was dangerous, inside the entire barrier it was completely burnt grass and scorched earth. There was no life inside of it besides that person. "Let's go back.." Indigo's voice timid now, taking a slight step back. "Are you crazy! I can't just leave him, she said I was the only one here," He snapped back, clearly angered with his friend.<br/><br/>"You are Raz, it's not a human," Raziel was far past the point of listening at this point. "It-- If you're not going to help then leave," Again he ran towards the barrier, following the burned print. Indigo had gone chasing after him, using his wings to try and catch up but before he could reach the boy had burst through the barrier.<br/><br/>"Raziel!" The scream was of terror and grief as his outstretched hand had just missed him, fingers nearly touching it. The birds had fluttered from the cry, animals alerted and eyes of creatures centered at the field that they knew was a place one shouldn't go. They all looked at the fae who suddenly dropped to his knees, eyes closed as tears threatened to spill.<br/><br/>Raziel heard the muffled version of the scream and suddenly turned around to see Indigo on his knees. Lifting his eyes from his friend he could see others peering from trees and bushes, looking at him. "I-Indigo..?" He whispered, watching the other opening his eyes he saw a shift from the sadness to something else. The fae's face filled with a sick mixture of fear and surprise. He suddenly rose to his feet and staggered back, mouth ajar.<br/><br/>Suddenly he felt a gush of heat spill over his body, causing the air to be pushed from his lungs and heart to lurch, his hand gently gripping his shirt. He slowly turned away from him and to the person, he was now inside the bubble with.<br/><br/>"Hey... Are you alright? It's really hot in here and-- and I guess something bad will return back here," The boy said nervously. "Something from Hell," He felt a shiver run down his spine at the thought, if it showed up while he was there he assumed it wouldn't go by so well. The person was turned away from him, sitting on the floor, so he couldn't make out much.<br/><br/>He hesitated. "My name is Raziel.. my parents are very religious-- Come on," He was often asked where his name had come from, so he decided to throw I the random fact when he introduced himself. Raziel, the oddest names of the angels of heaven, they couldn't just simply go for the basic ones. He stood a bit away from the person, holding kindness in his voice, and though the other couldn't see it, a warm smile.
