sweet freedom

[againstgod]

No.
No more cages.

If I sleep an eternal slumber or not, it should not be anyone's business but mine.
No choice but mine to make.

I don't care if there's someone waiting for my return. Have you forgotten how cruel I can be?
Let them wait.

From what I remember, he and his army had sided with Lucifer against Heaven. Then turned against Lucifer. But once a turncoat, always a turncoat. They weren't accept back into high Heaven, where paradise is. And instead worked as Heaven's Black Ops.

[againstgod]

Mm. How ironic.
It is not too far from Zaphkiel after all.

[flamingskeleton]

Right, well eventually he decided that he wanted more power, so he decided to make a grab at the power of the Riders and rebel again.

[againstgod]

Mm.

In Zaphkiel's case, he turned a new leaf and arise in the ranks of Heaven, leaving his status as leader of those undercover operation forces behind.
At the same time, he had a secret group to overthrown the current chain in command.

Although, his actions were beneficial. Heaven was putrid.
He sacrificed himself for his cause.

[ she finds the similitudes and the differences due to the circumstances fascinating. ]

Like the two opposite sides of a same coin.

[flamingskeleton]

See, now I really should stop by to take a look.

[againstgod]

You want to come to my world?
I didn't think you were a masochist.

[flamingskeleton]

Just curious is all.

Besides, ya never know what a Spirit of Vengance might be able to do.

[againstgod]

Oh? Spirit of Vengeance? Is that how you define yourself?
That's interesting.

[flamingskeleton]

The guy inside me is a Spirit of Vengeance.

[againstgod]

You and he are bonded. So what he is, you should share it.

"Goddess of Retribution."
That was one of my titles when I Fell.

[flamingskeleton]

Don't remind me. Seems to be our calling card.

That's quite the title.

[againstgod]

Is it so bad? You decided to continue this cooperation, or I am wrong?

I had many more, they are pointless and foolish, your "spirit of vengeance" nature reminded me of that one.

[Although she was the Messiah who was going to bring forth salvation. She just judged they were unworthy and sided with the 'lesser' beings.]

[flamingskeleton]

No, just jokin' 'cause we got into a habit of shouting that out.

Well, always nice to meet another Rider.

[againstgod]

Sharing a body can be troublesome.

Rider? It is the second time you mentioned that label.

[flamingskeleton]

It is, especially when you don't agree on things.

Just another name we go by.

[againstgod]

I know. My last reincarnation and I began to split during the war and we had our arguments while we were in his body.

Mm. Do you prefer it? It less ominous than Spirit of Vengeance.

[flamingskeleton]

Then you know how strange it is to be arguing with someone inside of your head.

I suppose, the full name is the "Ghostrider".

[againstgod]

I was the consciousness inside him. Kindness and compassion simply had no place in the battlefield when I awoke.

Ghostrider? That sounds like a title of those "computer games" teenagers enjoy so much.

[flamingskeleton]

Did he feel the same?

I've been in a game or two, yeah. I ain't from a game.

[againstgod]

He tried to stop me. He was just a teenager, not a fierce warrior.
I wanted him to remain unsullied.

You were in a game? My brother seemed fond of them.

[flamingskeleton]

Then why not keep him from fightin'?

I was, don't think they were as memorable as the comics of course.

[againstgod]

With all Heaven, Hell and some forces of Assiah after the boy?
He was the Messiah and my reincarnation. My consciousness wasn't fully awake until the wheel of fate had begun to shatter.

In what sense were they lacking?

[flamingskeleton]

Well you sure dont got a whole lot of luck, do ya?

Story just wasnt as good.

[againstgod]

It was only excepted, he was my last rebirth as human. He was afflicted with my punishment as all my other lifetimes before he came to be.

Which story was your favorite?

[flamingskeleton]

Never thought to yourself that next time would be different?

The one where I live happily ever after.
