Ancient Order of Angels: Volume One The Artifacts

[Turtle of Doom]

Wasp, gold

Keelie followed after Greed with wide eyes. He was talking too fast for her to keep up with. "Wasp? My name? Oh! Keelie!" Her illusions faltered as she tried to focus on keeping up with him.

She was taken aback when he began to weep on her. "Killed? Who was killed? Oh, never mind, I know. It's okay." Keelie awkwardly patted his back, unsure of what to do. We're supposed to be doing something. Oi! The meeting! We're supposed to be there! Right? Right. That's a pretty chalice. I think it's mine. No, that's not right. Oh, but I can make it mine! Keelie idly continued to pat the demon crying on her as she crafted an identical goblet right next to his.

Keelie suddenly realized that he was on her shoulder. What's this, then? Confused, she peeled herself away from Greed. "Don't cry." She said, still struggling to remember the reason. "There's a meeting." She moved herself to his wine and smiled picking up the glass. "This one's mine," she said, leaving the illusion behind, and motioning to Greed to follow her. "We won't know what's going on, if we can't get back. There's a meeting, did you know?"

 

[GreenSea]

"Okay wasp sorry I just don't want them to see how weak I am" Greed went back to the meeting and sat back down, "pardon me, I forgot to bring my trust axe" as they walking Greed smiled, "you know... I prefer to call you wasp, it's like we have a code name you know?" Greed smirk a bit but this time he cheer up. "Ahh so you don't know, my last centurion, she was killed maybe you don't remember or know her" Greed walked slowly and start to explain what's going on to her with a whispery voice though in the end he ended up being watched by other. "..... I'll talk later but for now..."

 

[Hope]

After the first three miles Hadley was wondering why she pushed so much to head for the safe house. It had not occurred to her just how tired and worn out her body was. She had not slept since the flight into Spain, and the jet lag was catching up with her. Slowly, she began falling to the back of the group as she was walking slower than the others. Her chest felt heavy from exhaustion. Each breath seemed to require a great amount of energy to draw the oxygen into her lungs. After reaching the seven mile mark she had trailed behind about fifteen feet. However, she didn't mind. The will to push herself any faster was out of her reach.

Up ahead about 30 yards she could see the group had arrived in front of a large manor. As she approached the group she heard the cop mention that there were beds and clean clothes inside. Oh yeah... I forgot. All my clothes were left at the hotel.. She thought as she looked down at her blood stained jeans where she had wiped her hands.

Instantly, a rush of adrenaline came over her. "Clothes, really? And a shower?" She exclaimed as she burst past the group and towards the gate. "What are we waiting for?!" Opening the gate, she briskly Jogged to the front doors. Before entering the door she turned back, "Come on, guys!" She encouraged with a giant smile.

*Press Play*

The doors were heavy, but beautiful. The intricate carvings on the frame were clearly done by hand and must have been really old. With a deep breath she pulled open the doors simultaneously. The pendant around her neck seemed to spark to life, emitting a familiar energy, drawing her deeper into the manor. Turning to the room on the right she first saw a very large table surrounded by chairs. At the end sat a man with ebony black hair with eyes to match. He appeared to be around the age of thirty, and had a solemn look on his face.

Hadley gasped as she covered her mouth with her hands. "I - I'm sorry!" She said as she backed up a few steps, cautiously. "I was under the impression nobody would be here." She could feel her heart pound in her chest. Was he like Gil, Heru, and the others? Or was he there for another reason? She wondered, noticing the mess everywhere. It was clear somebody was looking for something. What could it be? Was it him? Her mind reeled.

 

[Brother Gabriel]

Ichabod was running away. his arm still bleeding from the gun shot made by Diego "Damn . . never thought of getting shot" he laughs as he walks away from the fight. " Oh the irony " he says to himself. suddenly he tumbled down as he step on a bottle, luckily there was a box to break his fall . . . " Sometimes i need a break " he then saw the three criminals getting out of the hole he just came from he was about to chase them but they saw him immediately and began to chase him and Diego shooting

"Well gotta blast " he then got up and quickly ran away. but as he ran away he saw a safe house of some sorts and quickly enters it

 

[Muna]

Snake, seagreen

Analise sat silently, watching as Alphus remained silent. Figuring he was too occupied to pay attention to her, she decided to pester someone else for information. Carefully, so as to not disturb her superior, she backed away from the table and approached the demon called Keelie. "Hey, what's going on out there?" At that moment, Greed had arrived and whisked his Wasp out of the room. Rolling her eyes, Analise shrunk into the shadows to observe from afar.

Arguing and impatient gestures could be heard and seen, though Analise couldn't quite figure out specifics. She hated having to wait around with no freedom to act on her own volition, let alone be stuck in a room with so many others.

 

[Amanda Sea]

Constance was tired. Her feet were tired. Her eyes were tired. Her nerves were tired. She usually kept to much smaller company, and walking with this large group was definitely wearing on her. Especially since she didn't know what to say and wondered if she should even introduce herself yet. When the girl who was not like everyone else started to lag behind, Constance took her cue and lagged as well. She kept herself about halfway between the girl and the rest of the group. At this distance she could still feel everyone's presence, but at least there was also air.

When they reached the manor and the girl ran ahead, Constance truly was the furthest behind. She lingered there and was the last to enter the manor.

 

[Orchid]

Azimuth, Lizard Centurione, self-proclaimed "Shadow of Infernum" (though he has had a difficult time getting the title to catch on), was late. The moment he walked through the threshold of the room—more accurately staggered, as travel between worlds was taxing, especially for someone who had lived in a comfortable flat in Barcelona for an extended period of time—Azimuth received a barrage of annoyed looks.

Whoops, he thought, mentally shrugging. Instead of smiling apologetically, he pasted on a confident grin and sat down. It had always been his philosophy to fake knowing what was going on even if he hadn't the slightest idea.

Azimuth' gaze scanned the room, falling on two demons in particular; not because they were attractive (though he wouldn't deny the fact...), but because they were centuriones, like him, though they appeared to be Snake and Wasp, and at least one looked confused. That makes two of us.

 

[VengefulPeanut]

Tommin - Archangel of Jupiter, orange

Seeing Hadley run off ahead, Tommin rolled his eyes slightly before jogging after her. He waved his arm in the air before calling,

"Hadley, the door's..." his sentence was cut off as she barged through the front door with no resistance. "...Locked," he finished with a low and confused tone. "How the hell is this thing open?" he asked himself before his mind reached a conclusion: Ichabod. Not one to be disinterested in his own promise of food and new clothes, however, Tommin hurried after Hadley, quite excited to give people a tour of his home away from home, a home nobody ever visits, pushing the unlocked state of the door from his mind. Getting closer to the door, Tommin heard Hadley's voice.

*Press Play*

"I - I'm sorry!" He heard her say. "I was under the impression nobody would be here."

Tommin's brow strained into a worried frown as he once again picked up the pace and darted inside. Nobody should be here, he thought to himself worriedly. Entering the main hall, he saw Hadley stepping backwards from the dining hall. She looked perplexed, worried... scared even. Reaching the dining room, Tommin too saw the man sat at the far end of the table. He scowled.

"Who are you!? What are you doing in this place?" he demanded to know, that same tone of authority ringing true in his voice. It was such a juxtaposition to his usually soft and friendly tone, a tone he wore like a mask to hide his insecurities and fear. But who was this man? The security clearance needed to even know of this place was incredibly high, never mind interact with it. Was he sent by the British? His aura was just like the aura of those he traveled with. He'd been around the supernatural, that much was clear. Something was wrong... really wrong. Tommin hovered his hand near his remaining pistol as he awaited the man's response.

 

[OwlOne]

Council of Pencuri

The Gatekeeper watched as everyone walked freely about as he was waiting for responses. Each time someone moved it pissed him off just a little bit more. As people started to arrive late he started to become enraged "Damnit what the hell is going on?!" He asked barking and slaming his fist down. "Don't you know the meaning of the phrase 'on time'? Sit your half asses down and...."

*Press Play* He was interrupted by one of the demons from the north region. He walks over, bows to everyone and starts over toward the gatekeeper. He whispers something in his ear. After such he nodded at the gatekeeper and once again bowed an murmured "My apologies..." as he left back out.

The gatekeeper sat in silence for a bit as he gathered his thoughts. He leaned over to his assistant and whispered something into her ear. She responded, "Yes sir I'll get together the paperwork...." she got up an vanished into dust. The gatekeeper then leans forward and mutters, "Well it has been brought to my attention that the Pencuri of Anger had something to do with the days actions. Some of the members from Unio are pissed. With that being said you will be escorted to your quarters and will remain there until under heavy guard until further notice." He announced as he looked over at Uku. He then clapped his hands and shouted, "Guards come take him away...." As they came in he shrugged and added, "It's nothing personal. You just have to be held responsible for your actions. That's just how the clock ticks." He added coldly as the guards entered. "Take him away..." He announced as they walked him and lead him to his destination.


The gatekeeper then peered over at Scorpion and commented, "And you will be acting Pencuri of Anger until he returns, you screw this up and I'll kill you myself." He smiled in a sinister like fashion. "Oh I almost forgot...snake and wasp you have both been promoted to Pencuri." He nonchalantly said reaching for his file. "Snake your going to Lust and Wasp your going to Attachment. Effective immediately." He continued. He then looked over at Greed and coldly shrugged. "That'll teach you about leaving whilst I'm talking." He muttered. "Now......Let me here your plans for your next move." He demanded as he looked around. He looked over a Lizard with a sinister look before reverting his attention back to the group. I need a damn promotion for putting up with this...

 

[Muna]

Lust, seagreen

Analise's ears prickled as her title was mentioned. Promotion, huh? I can work with this. Smiling sinisterly, she approached the table confidently. "Now......Let me hear your plans for your next move." Analise worked on getting her thoughts organized as she waited for others to speak up. Looking around, most were still trying to comprehend what just happened.

Taking a small step forward, she cleared her throat and addressed The Gatekeeper. "The archangels are gathering. By now, they'll know who each other are and what they are all capable of together. We must take action to prevent them from making any progress. My thoughts are thus: We Pencuri can continue searching for the Angel's book, while our Centuriones head out to track them. We have to know where they are going and, if possible, what we can do to stop them."

Analise's weight shifted to her other foot as she stood, waiting for the room's reaction.

 

[Turtle of Doom]

Attatchment, gold

Keelie felt a tingle run through her spine. Her mind suddenly clearer than it was before. Hmm, that's strange. Wonder what it was. "Promoted, is it?" She said as the newly appointed Lust Pencuri stepped forward and said her piece. Sounded fair enough. Would keep the lower levels moving about on their own business and out of the way.

"I would like to be told immediately when the Angels are discovered." Oi! I held that thought! "Even if we cannot directly stop their progress I'm sure we'll come up with something to detour them." Keelie grinned broadly, thrilled with her new capacity for thought.

Casting her gaze about the room she settled on her new centerione. He had been late, but fortunately hadn't missed much. "Oi, you!" She pointed. "Constant updates, you understand? When you find the Angels we'll have some fun, yeah. But not until then." A wicked snake coiled around the lizard centerione's body, squeezing his feet together. HAHA! Illusions have some substance now! Keelie grinned again, this time a bit more wickedly.

 

[❖iSengoku❖]

| Anatolios |
| The time of before arrival and after |

Sitting on the table with modern tone, ''silence'' Anatolios thought however, silence would not last long. Hearing faint talk through the thick walls of the safe house wondering what it was but Anatolios would not think twice about it. Before Anatolios could jump off the table and run out of the safe house a girl rushes through the door and stops in a surprised fashion, standing there for a while she says "I was under the impression nobody would be here." Anatolios would notice the frightened emotion upon her face when suddenly a man rushes through the door as well and also speaks. "Who are you!? What are you doing in this place?" the man said in a very protective tone. Anatolios noticing him reaching for his weapon that would be assumed to be a gun, ''Please, no reason to start a ruckus now is it?'' Anatolios would ask in a very cocky tone while he smiled and looked directly into his eyes. ''Put your gun down'' raises his open hands above his shoulders, ''Would you kill a unarmed man?'' Anatolios would also ask as he jumped off the table and then stuff his hands in his front pockets. ''At any case, i don't know why i'm here some strange man told me to come here for some reason...say.. Why do i feel like i've met you before?.. Why do i feel something odd whenever i look at you?'' Anatolios would proclaim as he raised his head up in confident question.

 

[VengefulPeanut]

Tommin - Archangel of Jupiter, orange

Tommin watched the man with suspicious eyes as he proceeded on his monologue. His fingers twitched, his muscles begging his brain for permission to draw the gun at his hip - it was instinct more than anything.

''At any case, i don't know why i'm here some strange man told me to come here for some reason...say.. Why do i feel like i've met you before?.. Why do i feel something odd whenever i look at you?'' the man asked. Tommin's eyes relaxed slightly, gaining something of a boyish, teasing glint to them.

"Maybe you just find me that attractive..." he joked. However, as soon as his jest was finished he solidified back into his defensive and serious demeanour. "Now, you didn't answer my question. Who are you and what are you doing in this place?"

Tommin's tone was harsh and untrusting - strange qualities for the man. However, there was good reason behind his philosophy. This was a safehouse owned and funded by the British government as part of an international security operation throughout the EU. What's more, this was the safehouse strictly commissioned to Tommin - even the other operators within the service didn't know it's location, it was safer that way. Unless the man who had directed this intruder was somehow a loudmouthed EU politician with high security clearance then this encounter continued to be what it had seemed to be from the start, an anomaly. But after all, the past two days hadn't exactly been simple and clean...

 

[❖iSengoku❖]

| Anatolios |
|During the time of joking and after|

''hahaha'' Anatolios would laugh at his joke but then transfer into a serious tone quickly, would seem that the tone changed at the same time, almost immediately changing the surrounding aura. "Now you didn't answer my question. Who are you and what are you doing in this place?" The man would ask in a very protective tone once again. Gripping the top of his mask and pulling it down to his neck, Anatolios would proclaim his name with confidence ''My Name is Anatolios, and like i said before ... i was sent here without explanation''

Anatolios still had a strange feeling whenever they locked eyes, it would have seemed that there aura would be linked somehow although, Anatolios has no clue of why he felt this.. perhaps it will be clear to him in the near future.

 

[Shadi Jaye]

Gil Vincente Archangel of Saturn, purple

[spacer] Gil would enter the house during the exchange between the two men. He would stop behind Hadley and Tommin who were standing in the archway to the dining hall. With his head still facing the direction of the stairs in front of him, he cut his eyes in the direction of the room. "Would the children please stop playing? He it's meant to be here. Just like we all are. Now let's all find rooms shower and get ready for dinner. Heru and I will cook. Also before you all stomp on my nerves, we will explain everything over desert hope you all will enjoy it." He then looked in front of himself and began walking up the stairs. Gil was a bit frustrated. As lazy as he was, a ten mile walk was very annoying and unpleasant for him.[/spacer]

[Spacer] As he walked up the stairs he began thinking to Heru. Sorry to throw you under the bus like that bro, but I am not coming by myself. Also I'm poised about that walk. He couldn't have driven us? And really if he thinks this shack is all of that, he obviously hasn't seen my house or Jiddoh's which will soon be yours." Once finally upstairs Gil hurried to a room and began to shower. [/spacer]

 

[Prince V]

Heru Chidubem- Angel of Mercury, red

*Press Play* "Anatolios huh?" Heru added as he walked through the door. He looked around at decor of the manor and nodded in approval. "So I think it would be a good idea to tell us who sent you are way without adequate information." He remarked taking off his coat and neatly laying it down on the chair. "Don't you agree?" He nonchalantly added. He reverted his attention back to Tommin and sharply commented, "Don't they teach you in the academy to never let your guard down? Draw that gun and point in case he tries something." Heru started to examine the individual's aura. He knew it was of good nature and he also concluded it was just like his but he needed a bit more.


He walked over to the table and pulled out a chair. Sitting in it he crossed his legs business style and interlocked his fingers. "Hmph....your right Tommin. If this was so secret then how did he find out? Let alone get in." He mentioned in response to Tommin. Looking at the guy quizzically He asked, "Care to take a stab at that?" He remembered Jiddoh mentioning something about a guy he met but he didn't really Care to pay attention. "By chance was the guy older, and had an accent?" Heru asked in hopes of receiving an answer.

The last thing Heru wanted was trouble. He had already been through a lot today and all he wanted to do was get a shower and take a nap. But first things needed to be discussed amongst them. Heru was also trying to figure out a way to discuss it. So he sat back and shot Gil a look rolling his eyes. Goodness..... After Gil shot upstairs he and heard his thought. "Well Gil no need to be rude sir....introduce yourself to our guest. I To wish to get relaxed but if we can figure out who this is then what the point." He observed still focusing on the individual.

 

[❖iSengoku❖]

| Anatolios |
|During the time of question|

Closing his eyes and slightly lowering his head, smiling '' Well... if you must know.. then you shall get your answer.. but only after you tell me your names and what YOU are doing here ''Anatolios proclaimed as he lifted his head up and opened his eyes to look directly to the other guy who of which would have sat down at the table. Soon after question some other guy would've arrived and told us in a annoyed tone that all of ''us'' needed to take showers, Anatolios confused by his statement over how he could be so annoyed however, still continued the conversation between the two guys who were in front of him.

-press play-
''So it would seem by the way you enter and the way you present your prowess that in fact that you, maybe, perhaps could be the leader of this ''group''... am i correct?
or are you that one kid that displays his self as a leader but really is a small brat that nobody likes'' Anatolios would say as he continued to look directly at the guy who is sitting and then began to have a smirk to present in a smart ass way.

 

[Prince V]

Heru Chidubem Angel of Mercury, red

Heru chuckled at the gentleman's statement. He took a deep breath and responded, "Correction sir we are all equal. We are a team. A leader is not presumed by way of his demeanor but by way of his actions. Now need I make it a bit more clear to you?" Heru heartlessly says to him with a grin. "The name calling is certainly not needed, I just asked you a few questions. If no one happens to like me then so be it but it won't stop me from figuring out who might you be." He added.

*Press Play* Heru had a long day. He had a gun pointed at him, met death, seen an Higher ranking Angel, and to top it all off he had to walk 10 miles just to get somewhere to rest. He then took the initiative to introduce himself just as requested, It was only fair. "Well...I'm Heru Chidubem, heir of the Chidubem clan. I'm here because I'm tired, I'm hungry, I've had a long day, I just walked like 10 miles, and I don't have time for a smart ass. So you know what forget the questions. Your sitting in a place that doesn't belong to you but yet you ask what WE are doing here. All we ask is for you to tell us who you are and that will be that." Heru calmly barked as he kept his composure.

"Giiiiil!, I have dibs on the shower first I don't want my water to get cold." He yelled in hopes of grabbing Gil's attention.

Looking over at Tommin and Hadley, he asked what they wanted for dinner. Heru was a pretty good cook. He learned most of his stuff from his Jiddoh and a bit from his mother. He undid his posture and dismissed himself from the table. He walked over to his coat and commenced to folding it. After he did he emptied it's pockets and layed them on the table next to the chair. I'll just wait till he tell us where to put our things. He reached into his bag and grabbed his phone and noticed he had a few missed calls. Ahh i'll call them later. After he looked at his phone, he started back toward the kitchen. He then looked back at the individual, before continuing, and asked, "You staying for dinner? Might as well say breakfast" Although Heru wasn't to fond of the guys words or how he came off, he still wouldn't let him go hungry. It wasn't like him to hang someone out to dry. To him it was always better to offer than to not have offered to began with. Heru yawned and stretched a little throwing a slight grin. He scratched his head and observed, "Might as well get started...The quicker the better haha. Hmmm everyone hasn't gotten here yet. Hopefully they are right behind us.

 

[Nue]

Davido 'Dave' Aliman

<Assumes 'play' needs to be pressed>

Dave strides into the council, a bit later then most everybody, but just in time to see the poor Anger get swashed away by the guards Poor Anger...i am sure that he must be...ANGRY at this? hehehheh. He giggled at the thought of his own puns for a bit before siting down and listening in on the conversation. He wore the business casual; a black tuxedo with a black shirt underneath, a bright red tie, a cane with an lovely ruby on top, and a bright red scarf that drapes over both of his shoulders. He gets yelled at being late, but hey, its the first day! Cut a man some slack!
He takes a look briefly at his watch:
+0076
+0069
+0071
*-0042*
He frowned a bit bit at his last number, but he's sure the other three cover it nicely.
And now he looks at the woman who's spot he now takes over, she got promoted looks like a huge shift's happening in the bad-guy realm today
and that's good, for Dave anyways. The Gatekeeper now spoke; "Now......Let me hear your plans for your next move."
and Dave's new leader, named Analise, gave a response; "The archangels are gathering. By now, they'll know who each other are and what they are all capable of together. We must take action to prevent them from making any progress. My thoughts are thus: We Pencuri can continue searching for the Angel's book, while our Centuriones head out to track them. We have to know where they are going and, if possible, what we can do to stop them."
Truer words were never spoken...or er...at least its a great plan. He thought. With that done, he walked over toward the seemingly intelligent Lust, leaned on his cane, crossed his legs, and spoke in a sly tone to greet her; " So, looks like you're the new lust no huh? That's good, you look smart, and hard-working, right? Yes? Than I'm glad to meet you! I'm you new intern, or Centurione as you call it." He extends his hand toward her in a friendly gesture; "So All I have to do is find out where these archangels are right? and just follow them? Sounds like a piece of pie to me, given they don't kill children. I'll even put in a good word for you and slow them down for 'ya!"
He smiled at Analise, satisfied he said enough; "Do we have a Deal?"

​

​

​

 

[Muna]

Lust, seagreen

Analise was taken aback by such a talkative demon. That aside, she figured at least he had his wits about him and admired his persistence. Pulling her long white hair over her shoulder casually, she extended her hand to meet his greeting. Looking into the Spider's face, she spoke in a light tone. "Yeah, we have a deal. I expect calls along the way, I want to know exactly what they're doing. What they eat, where they sleep, what they say. Call me Analise."

Feeling satisfied by others stepping up to make a move, she thought to herself about ways to track that book. Anyone known to have seen it last was either dead or on the other side of the fence. She was starting to think that the best way to track it would be to track the angels. She considered going on her own journey to find out, though other missions were of higher priority.
