The Keeper and The Key
There was once a prophecy of which foretold of an angel who fell to earth. The angel held great beauty; her skin as fair as porcelain, with eyes like shining silver and hair decorated with the stars in the galaxy. While on earth, she had lost her way, not being able to return to the heavens. For several days, she roamed the world, while in the process being shown the many cruelties of mankind.
The other angels had descended from heaven to find their lost friend but discovered it to be too late. They found the angel had lost her wings and her eyes seemed hollow and filled with fear. They returned to the Creator, symbol of all things pure and good, and informed him of the terrible news. The Creator looked down upon his fallen angel from the heavens and took pity on her.
He sent his best messenger to tell her of his plans for her. The messenger informed the angel that she could no longer enter the gates of heaven for her pure heart had already been exposed to the deception and evils of the world. Instead, she would live out her life as a mortal, living every day as that of any other human created. And on the day she would die, only then would she be able to return home.
As the messenger departed, the angel wept. Slowly, her memories of the being she once was began to slip away into a hazy mist. Her glow was now gone and she was stripped of her immortality.
Many days had gone by. Eventually, the angel had found love and bore a child. A beautiful baby girl.
The child’s name was synonymous to trust and hope - the very two things she would bring to the world.

On the eve of her arrival, calamity struck, instantly killing her father and badly injuring her mother.
Amidst all the rubble and dust came the baby’s cries. Her mother held her tightly in her arms to comfort her. It was just going to be the two of them.

Through the darkness came a man dressed sharply from head to toe in black. As he walked, both mother and child could sense an aura of evil about him. He was strange. The man had shining yellow eyes that glowed with the promise of something dark. That man was a demon.

The Demon began to tempt the angel by telling her he would spare her daughters life. BUT, in return, she would have to give him her soul. Willingly, the dying mother accepted and signed a cryptic looking contract in her own blood. The Demon cackled as he succeeded in yet again collecting another soul. He took the baby into his arms and left without another word, leaving the mother to die and her soul to walk forever in the depths of the underworld.

Thus, the prophecy was completed; for time and destiny had soon taken control. And through the events that had arisen, the Key and the Keeper was finally born.
