I’m dreaming again. Or remembering. Reliving? I can’t tell. It’s burning. Everything’s burning, and it feels glorious. It’s not my feeling, but someone else’s. Ah, this was the time of my ancestor M’nath, pure-blooded angel and fair in the eyes of Heaven. There is a great distance between us in time and space, at least 8,000 years by my reckoning. Why is the city burning? I don’t know exactly, only that there was a great deal of sin. Yea, even the smallest child burns in the cradle lest it be corrupted by the blight on this land.
Now I’m seeing through the eyes of the next generation, Gaph the Nephilim. He crafts a spear using tools and skills I don’t understand. That spear is Glumzanber, part my inheritance. The weapon is not five minutes old before it has quenched its heat in the heart’s blood of three mortals. What they did to deserve such a fate is outside of my knowledge.
Later I see Gaph’s two sons, Hetal and Theos, fighting for the right to inherit their father’s spear. M’nath, Gaph and Hetal still live to this day, I think.
As the visions move down the family line they get shorter and shorter. I strain to find my father but I can’t find him in this blur of memories. My head starts to hurt.
…I’m not where I was before the dreaming. I must have blacked out. Where am I? I don’t recognize this room. When I look out the window the town and sea look strange to me. This often happens when I relive memories from my divine history, but it’s always disturbing. I’m lucky I even remember my own name. Fortunately my spear is still firmly in hand; I dread to think of what would happen if someone else tried to touch it.
I hide Glumzanber in the fireplace for now and step outside. The ocean breeze and morning greet me warmly, and I feel happy for the first time in a long while. I take a stretch and prepare for a short walk.

skipping along the side of the river Skye couldn't help but hum happily spotting a fallen tree she sits and takes a book out of one of her many bottomless pockets she starts to read being an inch demon was handy at times especially with her clothing being amazing storage potential. lying back she starts reading kicking her feet kick back and forth happily whistling to herself.

Whew. Maybe I can finally get some rest and relaxation for a while. If I'm lucky I might even find a job around here...aah?! My head! It feels like something's hammering on it, like it might split open!
There's an adorable cheerful girl sitting peacefully under a tree, reading a book. But the moment I get anywhere close, by blood boils and my vision turns red. This girl is part demon, I can tell.
Kill it!
I've felt this before, but never so strong. Why won't my bloodline leave me alone?! I only have a tiny amount of divine blood, won't they just let things go for once?
BURN IT!
Even though it's nowhere near me, I know that Glumzanber grows burning hot. If I had put it on a table or the wooden floor, it might even have started a fire. It's not fair! This girl can't help her ancestry any more than I can, much as I'd like to...I want to run away from her so that I don't hurt anyone, but my legs won't move that way.
"Look out," I cry out to the girl desperately. If she is part demon, I'm sure she can sense at least a little bit of what's going on. "Get away from me, before I lose control!"

"Huh?" hearing the words confused her and she hops up looking around for the voice. Spotting the girl she grins the warning all but forgotten about nobody would really hurt her when they hadn't even met her yet right? "Hello there my name is Skye its nice to meet you." she shouted back skipping over to the girl.

"Ah, n-no, no, nonono! Stay back!" I become increasingly desperate with each step the girl takes towards me. It's not her fault, how could she know what's wrong with me? All the same I wanted her to listen, her life might depend on it.
My vision grows hazy as this girl approaches. Her simple innocence makes this hurt even more; can't I even spend 5 minutes outside without putting innocent people in harm's way? "Please please run away, please," I start begging with what will I have left. I want to close my eyes but I can't even do that. The force taking control of me is just too strong. When she's in arm's reach, my control snaps. I take a step forward and throw a well-trained punch at her chest.
I feel the shock run up my arm, the feeling that I hit just right. I know from sickening experience that when I lose control, such a strike will kill a human being outright. My fist burns with divine strength, especially baneful to things of the netherworld. Something feels strange, like I hit something flat and hard. If so, whatever is in the way might save your life, I can't be sure.
I wrest back control enough to not move anymore. I see you on the ground, but can't make out any more than that. "P-please," I say again, hoping against experience that you survived. "Please get up, and get away." I feel my blood burning again. Can I have no respite?!

having healed where she had been hit she fell to the ground bouncing back up again. "Hmm ouch that hurt I am sure you didn't mean to do it though. Hold on a sec." muttering something two golden streams emerge from her fingertips and make a shield over the girls head giving her control over her inner angels and preventing them from taking control of her body, Even silencing the nastier ones of the lot. "There we go that should be a little better. No more attacking 'kay." wags her finger playfully then grins. "As I was saying before you hit me my name is Skye whats yours?"

My headache vanishes and all of a sudden I feel...the only way I can describe it is 'empty'. Feelings and pressure that I've experienced all my life are gone. It's strange, but once I take a deep breath I realize it's also liberating. The struggle from the last half minute catches up to me and my legs give way, leaving me sitting on the ground.
I just sit there for a few seconds, speechless. Being suddenly free from the effects of my bloodline is so overwhelming that I hardly even remember what this girl said. "Who am I?" I say stupidly. Even if I knew what the girl said, I'm not sure I could even remember my name at a time like this. "Who are you?"

"My name is Skye. I'm sorry about having done that to you. Its just I didn't want to get pummeled to death without having gotten to know you first." grinning she offers out her hand. "Now come on big girl up you get. After all we can't have you collapsed on the ground all day can we?" helping her to her feet she laughs. "Actually to tell you the truth I am close to collapsing myself I just used all my power on that spell and its only going to last a few days whereas it will take at least a week for my power to come back. Ahh well."

It takes several deep breaths before I can say anything. I wish I had some more time to think! Who is Skye, exactly? How did she know what was wrong with me, and how could she cut my link to Heaven so easily? Well maybe not easily, but at least quickly. Now that I've regained my senses, I feel the wrath of my ancestors trying to scratch at the edges of my protection.
“My name is Sidys,” I say carefully. “My ancestry traces back to Heaven, though I wouldn’t say it’s a matter of pride. Who are you, that you can do such things? I thought that I would be bound to the fate of my bloodline forever, and without respite.”

"Well if you must know my ancestry is that of Australasian demon royalty. My mothers were both princesses of the two area's and when they married they formed a strong bond between the country so the rift was severed and they became more divine. So I am mostly divine demon although luckily for me it is rather more like being an ordinary human. Therefore I only tell people that I am an inch demon. As for how I could tell about the bond it was rather simple. All that had to happen was you touching me in any way such as when you hit me. It kinda sent a jolt through my entire body thats how I knew and because of my divine demoness princess stuff thats how I could simply snap my fingers and sever the link for four days. If you met my mum's they could probably sever the links for life if you wanted."

Wait...divine demon? I've never heard of such a thing. And definitely not a person with two mothers. It all seems so bizarre that my head begins to hurt again.
"Um. Hold on. That was a lot to take in." Skye is nice enough, and maybe what she said was true, but I'm not sure if I want other people, especially people I've never met, permanently altering who I am.
"If my ancestors weren't already silent I wouldn't believe you. And Skye, There's something you might not know about yet. Back in the house over yonder there's a spear, my inheritance. It's my duty to watch over it and make sure it's never used. If my ties to Heaven were to be permanently cut, I might be unable to handle the spear at all. Or even worse, it might go wild and start lashing out on its own. It's a rather short-tempered weapon even at the best of times."

"Ok that's understandable I have a similar weapon myself although its not so much temperamental as it is shy." reaching into her pocket of infinite depth she pulls out a claymore that tries to stuff itself back inside her pocket. "As you can see it would be pretty much pointless in battle. Sorry about giving you a lot to take in at once basically a divine demon is one that has raised itself out from the thralls of demon-hood kinda like the opposite of a fallen angel. Although I wouldn't say that angels are really all that nice. As for what happened with my mothers is that they used magic to make each other pregnant and me and my twin sister are the results of said magic."
grinning she lays back down on the grass. "So tell me a bit about you Sydys. I have pretty much explained a lot of what made me become me and what I am its your turn."

I'm still not sure that I'm comfortable with this. I didn't ask Skye to tell me anywhere near this much about yourself. Of course, I didn't ask her to free me from my link to Heaven either and I'm not complaining about that.
"I wouldn't say that my weapon is useful either. I used it once. Never again." Even if my life is put in danger time and again, just about anything is preferable to using that weapon. It's, ah, not good at restraint.
"As for me, I'm a murderer. If you knew some of the things I've done you wouldn't be nearly so nice to me. Even if it wasn't by my own will it was done with my hands, and I think that counts for a lot."

rolling her eyes she giggles. "My mothers have gone to war and slaughtered many innocent people in their reign don't worry about telling me you killed a few people I am used to it. My brother is even worse then my mothers for one thing he does it sometimes for fun and then brags about it. I myself have never taken a life so I am kinda the odd one out in my family."
yawning slightly she looks at her. "So what brought you here on this fine day may I ask?"

Um...is it okay to be that casual about it? Maybe there's more demon to this girl than I first thought. I've had many bad days, but I think this is the strangest day I've ever had. And I'm not sure whether I'm glad that I met Skye yet.
"That's, that's a good question. I don't always know when or why I go places. Usually people don't ask me about it, so I'm not really used to explaining what happens. I was just somewhere else yesterday and I'm here today. The places in between are blank to me."
