The Garden Of Eden
AdrestiaMy legs were dangling off the wall, bored out of my mind as per usual. Nothing seemed to be dying here, I think God built it so that everything was perfect, I guess death wasn't perfect huh? As I looked out across the sandy, desolate landscape I started to hear a voice, God's voice. Hearing a reply I looked down noticing an angel below me, he was being questioned about the whereabouts of a flaming sword. He seemed rather scared of the Almighty, a trait that seemed rather common amongst angelkind. Why this was I would never know considering they were meant to be like gods right-hand men and woman. I took note of the Angel's name, Aziraphale, it rang a bell, maybe I had spoken to the Angel before but I've conversed with many Angels and Demons alike so I couldn't possibly remember every person I spoke with. However, I had a feeling I'd remember this Angel, seeing as he had lost this 'flaming sword'
"Oh dear" I hear him tut, as he realised God had gone and that he may be in the Lord's bad books. I smirked and went into the shadows, gliding down and metamorphasize back into my original form in front of the man. I looked human, long black hair cascading halfway down my back, sweeping side bangs to frame my face. I wore a flowing black cape with the hood up, slightly menacing if you asked me but I guessed that was the point? Adding to the scare factor I carried my trusting scythe, every time I did something significant an image representing the event would be carved into the handle. If something of great significance took place that affected me personally it would be engraved on the blade, a nice touch if I do say so myself. I also had beautiful feathered wings that were predominately black but went out into a grey, eventually white. I guessed this meant that I was neither Angel nor Demon, despite some calling me the Angel of death. God told me once I was both, although she put more demonic qualities in me than angelic, 80% to 20%, so the nickname didn't make much sense. "Oh dear oh dear, whatever will you do?" I tilt my head at the Angel, making him jump "W-were you sent to kill m-me?" He stuttered and I frown, before dropping my head to my hands and running my fingers through my hair, taking down my hood in the process. "No! Oh for Pete's sake! I just wanted to help you look for the sword, yaknow make a friend? I mean God's a lazy bastard so they probably won't care about the missing sword." I sigh, my reputation strikes again. He pauses and looks at me before smiling, wearily sticking out his hand "Ah, I'm Aziraphale. You are?" I take his hand and smile "Death, although you can call me Adrestia."

Ancient Mesopotamia
AziraphaleI stood next to Adrestia, staring up at the giant arc, trying to understand God's plan. "I mean really? If God's that loving, and powerful why purge the planet this way!? Drowning is one of the scariest ways to die according to my... clients so why would the almighty, all caring, lord wish to do mankind dirty?" Adrestia states, folding her arms and looking at the poor unsuspecting humans around her. "I couldn't agree more," said a voice from behind me. "Hello, Aziraphale!" He says as I turn to look at the man and see an all to a familiar face. "Crawley! No way, what happened to senor snake?" Adrestia chuckles, hugging the red-haired demon. Have they met before? "He was told to come up to earth to keep an eye on you, you chaotic woman you," He said, patting her back before breaking apart the hug and slinging an arm around her shoulder. "Oh, you two know each other?"I said, confusion evidently on my face. Crawley begins to explain
"We were in the garden of Eden and I had just tempted Eve, Addie here was just wandering around in awe of everything"
"I was not! I was just having a wee nosey around the place"
"Uh huh, anyway so I was slithering about, watching her for a while trying to piece together who she was"
"Watching me? Excuse me what?"
"Well, it's not every day you see someone with wings like yours and a diamond tattoo! It was when I saw your scythe I knew you were Death. The next thing I knew you 'accidentally' stepped on my tail causing me to hiss in pain and you to scream like a baby"
"I thought I had hurt you, or worse! It's not every day that a passing snake shouts 'Ah fuck' is it? After that, he went back into looking like this and we chatted for a wee while. And that is how I met this stupid demon known as Crawly, yeuch could you have a more boggin' name?"
I watched the pair bicker I noticed a shine in both their eyes I had never seen there before, could it be that the two were in love? Could they be?
33AD
Golgotha
Crawley/CrowleyToday was the day Christ got crucified, and much to my surprise I found my good friend Aziraphale there, watching. "Come to smirk at the poor bugger, have you?" I ask, standing next to him. "Smirk, me?" he scoffed, his eyes didn't dare leave the scene in front of us. "Well, your lot put him on there" I reply, before noticing a familiar figure standing up at the front of the crowd, all black robes with a hood up. Classic Addie. I hadn't seen the girl in years but she always seemed to plague my mind. I found myself staring at her rather than Christ himself. What was it about her that drew me to her I wasn't sure. "I'm not consulted on policy decisions, Crawley" Aziraphale answered sounding slightly annoyed, snapping me back into reality. "Oh, I've changed it" my eyes flickering away from Adrestia momentarily before going back and noticing she had disappeared. "Changed what?" He asked, "My name," I say before a slight tapping on my shoulder interrupted me. "Oh have you now?" She smirked, it was Adrestia, even on the day of Christ's death she still wore the same cheeky grin I had grown fond of. "Hey, Az!" She smiled, walking around and standing next to me now. "'Crawley' just wasn't really doing it for me. it's a bit too... squirming-at-your-feet-ish." Addie, stifles a laugh, gaining a glare of some people and immediately shutting up, from what I had seen of her she didn't do well in serious scenarios. "Well you were a snake." she whispers, "What is it now?" Aziraphale asks, "Mephistopheles? Asmodeus?" He suggests, Adrestia joining in "Steven, Dave, Jerry?" Aziraphale looks at her and she shrugs, "I bet that one day those will be popular names just you wait, besides at least they are easy to pronounce!" She whispers yelled before gazing up at me waiting for a response.
"Crowley", Aziraphale just hmms while Adrestia just gives me a clap, once again forgetting where she was and receiving many shushes and cold stares off the crowd. I quietly laugh, while she gives them an apologetic smile. She was an enigma to me.
