~Prologue: Heaven's a Lie~

Elder: Vindicta how do you plead for your treason?

I stood there before the congregation of Heaven as the Elders decide on my sentence. My fate is to be determined as they await what I have to say. I let out a deep sigh and spoke. 

"Not guilty."

Lute: LIES!!! You should be ashamed for turning against your own kind after all we did for you!!

"I'm not the one who should be ashamed here. But if I have to be exiled to Hell, so be it. Lucifer was right about you all."

Everyone all gasped when I brought up his name. St. Peter flew to my side along with Emily the seraphim as they tried protesting on my behalf.

St. Peter: Why is she accused for this?!

Sera: She attacked her fellow exorcists and must be punished. This is something I cannot look away from. 

Emily: Please don't do this!! Sera please!!

"Let it go, Emily. I think I sealed my fate enough. And I'm sorry."

Sera: Any last words before we send you to your new home?

I stared at them with tears of rage filling my eyes and I reached up to take my halo off my head and held it up towards them as I walked toward them.

"Yes. I want to add that I knew seen such folly and lies you all did to me for years! Do you have any idea how infuriating it is that it all comes to light?!"

My grip clenched onto the halo as small cracks can be heard. I put all my rage into the thing that held my rank. I served as an Archangel Exorcist. And I'm risking my rank to be cast out. After a few more moments, the halo breaks in my hand and I toss it at the elders feet. 

I never seen such anger but I can see they weren't going to hold back.

Elder: I condemn you to Hell as a sinner, demon and fallen angel, Vindicta. 

"Just remember who you accused and also remember to NOT take away memories that were mine!! I won't forget this!!"

Next thing I knew, I was going down. Downward to the depths of Hell after my sentencing. What is there to come?

One: Reincarnation

Where do I begin? My angelic name is Vindicta. But for different centuries I was reborn as a woman with different lives, different names. It all falls under the family name Mavros. Sounds Greek I know. My family is of Norwegian and Greek descent with some English and Polish in it.

My family immigrated to the United States right around mid 1800s. Been here ever since as many of my reincarnations were women who had true potential. Open minded. Free spirited. But my story begins where I was before all this happened.

But the *day I died is when an assassin was sent to murder me in my dressing room before my performance that night March 28, 1936. *Someone I once knew who died a few years before me in a hunting accident. I loved him.

Heaven. The one place I thought was paradise. Well, it was until forty years ago. It was extermination day and it was something that is held every year due to Hell's overpopulation. Every sinner killed and for what purpose?

The day I crossed paths of such an event I speak of there was a known demon overlord that nearly had me gravely injured. I was fighting and making attempts to kill him. But his strength surpassed mine and he broke my helmet I wore that concealed my face. 

Alastor: Well well my dear. Looks like this is where it ends. 

I look up and see who it was as he did get a glimpse at my face before Lute pulled me away for safety. I learned it was the Radio Demon but his voice.......why did it sound familiar?? I questioned the elders who it was and they dodged the question. 

"What do you mean you won't tell me?! I have a right to know!!"

Sera: Vindicta........we talked about this.....it's best that you don't know. 

"Why do I have a feeling you're hiding something from me?"

Adam: Look babe, we can't tell you--

"Don't "babe" me!! You're just as bad as she is!! No offense Sera......"

Sera: -Furrowed her brow then sighs-I'll let that slide for now. But we can't tell you just yet. 

"WHY NOT?!"

St. Peter: My lady, she does deserve to know. 

Lute: She's not ready. She's an archangel general and we can't lose her. 

Archangel. Yes I was one of the best ones Heaven has to offer. I was already on the list to earn a Saint status. But my next words cost me that one. 

Adam: Yeah well.......she wouldn't have gotten where she's at without yours truly. 

"And this is why your first two wives left you........"

Then, the room fell silent. Adam then got up in my face as he yelled at me for saying that remark. It should have stayed in my head and not out loud. 

Adam: You have a lot of gall you bitch!! How can say that?!

Sera: ENOUGH!!! Vindicta, we have no choice but to not assign you to take part for the next extermination days. Your injuries could take years. But you will need to earn your Saint status all over again. Apologize to Adam then you can return to your quarters.

I grumbled and I saw Adam smirking at me. I apologized to him in Greek as I stormed off to my quarters. 

"Lypamai gia afti tin paratirisi alla den. Lypamai pou eisai malakas."

Adam: Uhhh......can anyone translate what she said?

Lute: .........She apologized but you don't want to know what else. 

Adam: Why not?!

Sera: Enough! End of discussion.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The past few days had me left wondering things. What was Heaven keeping from me that they didn't want me to know about? In relation to the fight I had with the.......Radio Demon. Who was he and why did he sound familiar to me? But more importantly, what's the reason for sinners having to die every year in Hell? I need answers. 

I began planning my travel to the Pride Ring of Hell. Alone. Before I could leave I heard a voice behind me.

Sera: Vindicta? Where are you going? 

I knew what I had to do would wrong, she sighed and looked at her.

"I actually wanted to talk to you about something. About the Pride Ring....."

Sera: -Furrows a brow at her.-We had this discussion already, Vindicta.....

"At least hear me out! Please?"

She stared at me for a time and let out a sigh before walking over to me.

Sera: You may speak. 

I couldn't just tell her that I was going to Hell to learn about what sinners go through. I had to lie. One of the biggest sins to never do. 

"I want to be stationed in the Pride Ring. Just to see what they plan for future events and whatever tactics."

Sera: Alone?? Vindicta......you barely survived.....

"I'll send reports back if I get anything. Since I can't do exterminations until I'm fully healed, I can do desk job basically."

She took a moment to think over and given this was last minute, she finally caved.

Sera: Promise me you won't engage combat while down there. I'm trusting you with this. Do well and I may reconsider your saint status. Fair?

As much as I didn't want it, but I agreed. I was given a special crystal amulet to use to teleport back to Heaven if something goes wrong. I arrived to the Pride Ring. A place of depravity, sin, death and destruction. Temptations lurk in every corner and I have to resist it. 

I had to hide my halo into a special box. They would see what I see if I wore it. Forgive me, Heavenly Father, but I need to blend in with other demons in order to learn what really goes on. So it begins.........
