User blog:Ore-samma/My Angel (corruption) (anti-corruption) (no lewd)

Hello Fans, Ore-samma here!

Well, it's been quite a rough week with the loss of my laptop (fixed now) and unpleasantness overall.

But even such trivial matters will not stop me from expressing my craft.

This one is from a new forum post = https://monstergirlencyclopedia.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000069888/r/4400000000000465435

'' Angel: She meets man who has a very pessimistic view on life and her objective is to convince him otherwise, is exposed to DE which slowly corrupts her, and she falls in love with the man. ''

I could not exactly follow along with this one as written, but I did my best to fulfill it.

I do not like the notion of "corrupting" something that may have not wanted to be corrupted in the first place. So, I lore-break slightly. Sue me.

I hope you like it though,

Ever your Servant-

Ore-samma

I stood, looking at the battle field and felt a strange sorrow and pity upon seeing the corpses littered along the once green, but now brown and red fields.

The Order was triumphant against Eastern Empire, but at what cost?

I looked to the overlooking hill, and noticed the generals and leaders slowly leading their horses way, believing that both armies were completely annihilated.

They don’t even care, I thought to myself as I felt a choking sob well within my chest.

My hand grew weak on my broken sword and it slid to the ground with a muffled clang as it struck my already dropped shield.

I drank from my water skin and shambled through the fields of the dead and dying….sometimes I numbly gave the mercy of death that both friend and foe alike begged me for.

Slowly but surely a small platoon of wounded Order soldiers and knights shambled their way to the city with me bringing up the rear.

.

.

“Men.” One of the wounded captains said in a gruff voice. “The Eastern Empire is known to use mamono spells. Make sure you all report for cleansing first thing tomorrow. This entire day cannot be in vain. We must remain resolute.”

I slowly unstrapped my armor and noticed I was fully uninjured and looked up.

“Sir?”

“Yes, Collin?”

“I’m going back. We have to start getting the dead ready, and I want to see if there are more survivors. Could you please send the Church aides?”

The captain shambled forward and placed his bloody hand on my shoulder, tears running down his blood soaked face.

“Good man, Collin. I will absolutely see to it. But, aren’t you tired? Thirsty? Hungry?”

I shook my head. “Our losses are beyond counting, grief, or shock. I won’t be able to sleep, and I feel sick. I just want to…..just want to do something.” I mumbled.

The Captain nodded, “Carry on soldier.”

“I will try, sir.” I mumbled, watching as he turned and walked to the barracks hospital.

 “But there is no love ” I whispered, feeling the exact opposite of the rousing speech before our battle. “'' ….there is no hope….there is no life….there is just death. ''”

(later)

.

The night wore on till the day. We found a few survivors here and there. Often we had to follow the cries and pleas for mercy in the night, walking over eternally slumbering men who had begun to rot….lining up their corpses so the squires could come and collect the spent weapons and armor.

“That’s it. We have combed the entire battlefield.” One of the Church aides said, looking at me.

I nodded and turned back to the hill. “You go….I can’t...”

.

.

I strode to the hill and sunk to my knees and cried out, trying to force the grief out of me, desperate to feel something beyond the shock and the ever-present despondency.

“Just to feel….something!” I wept, wiping my face with bloody hands. I looked to the battlefield, watching the crows and scavengers pick at the flesh.

“It’s pointless, it's all pointless.” I wailed and fell to my side. "There is nothing! No life! No hope! It's all pointless"

A ray of particularly bright sun made me squint and I heard a footstep.

“''It isn’t pointless. There is a reason you still live''.” A gentle voice whispered near me.

I tried to sit up, but my body at last registered my exhaustion. I just shut my eyes tighter and moaned. “No….what use is it all when life is like this? There is nothing to live for! There is no hope!”

“''There is more to life than you know. You cannot in fairness declare that this season you are in, is all there is''.”

I placed my hands on the ground and pushed myself to a sitting position and looked up.'

.

It was an Angel of Eros.

.

I felt the fringes of a smile, the whisper of a happiness tingle at the yawning maw of my despondency and settled for a despairing chuckle.

“Such lofty heights you come from, to visit me.” I whispered.

“And why wouldn’t I?” The Angel cooed as she knelt before me and placed her hand on my blood crusted hair and head. ”''I have been watching you for so long. You give mercy so freely. You have a good heart. There is more to life, and you are worthy of it all.''”

I shook my head and wept. “So many of my friends are gone. My home is gone! There is nothing left. I don’t even want to fight anymore.”

“Then perhaps you can stop fighting, and surrender to love?”

“Love?” The word came out, partially as a sneer, partially as a laugh.”There is no love. There is only disappointment.”

“Collin, look at me.”

I looked up to her smiling face.

“Do I disappoint you?” She said, moving her hand under my chin.

“What- what do you mean?” I whispered.

''“I was sent here, to give you reason to live. You are favored by powers greater than myself''.” She wiped a tear from her eye and brought it to my lips and leaned forward and kissed me.

.

I flinched back, and shook my head. “No! You mustn’t!” I cried out, “I am corrupted by mamono energy!”

The Angel placed her hand to her lips, her eyes seemed to fill with realization and a small bit of worry.

“Wh- what are we- there has to be something I can do!” I cried out.

The Angel lowered her hand and placed it in my own. “There is.” She swallowed and sighed. “You must marry me.”

“Wh-what?” I was floored by the suddenness of the entire situation. “Marry?”

She nodded. “''Yes. If we are married in love, and not consummated in lust, it will all be well. With me, with you, and for all time''.”

I trembled from near muscle failure as I stood along with her.

“I….I don’t know….I don’t even know if I want to live anymore.” I exhaled, feeling my despair increase once I finally said the words.

“I want you to live.” The Angel said, “Would you live for me?” She held out her hand and a shining orb of light formed and enveloped my body.

.

I felt an even bright light than the sun envelop me, and I suddenly saw all her memories of her watching me. The highs and lows, I saw and felt her own longing to be paired to me, whom she saw as a hero, worthy of the attention of the higher powers. And the absolute joy of being sent to give me hope.

“ Hope !” I whispered. “ That’s your name, Hope !”

She smiled and nodded, tears sparkling in her eyes. “''Please, Collin. Will you marry me, and be with me in purity? Now and forever''?”



I stepped forward and held her just as the clouds opened up another ray of light that enveloped us both. Held and kissed her deeply as I felt our souls intertwine….even the mamono energy added a strange element to it all, but it was balanced by her divine energy, and my spirit energy. A balance of three parts, and two hearts.

I felt my tears being wiped away, the exhaustion and despair faded like shadows fade from the light of day.

In her love, in her arms…..I had love….

I had Hope.

I had life.
