Chapter 1: Another day, Another creature

“No, seriously, how many more?”

Warnings: Vulgar language

25,567 days. F*****g 70 years since Heaven kicked her out. And for what? Using the free will God herself gave? Yeah, Lillian didn’t regret anything. She felt proud about it, not having to behave like a little angel. She loved it.

Well, right now she is being “forced” to live in this wasteland called the USA, which people call the greatest country. Ehhhh….. Not sure about that. Anyways, for the past 1,096 days, Lillian has been hiding among the humans. It was pretty easy since she has a human form. So that’s not a problem. She also knows how to act “normal”, so Lillian looks just like a normal human. She even got a job?! Suck on that God!! Even love was kind to her and gave her an amazing partner, but Lillian’s beloved is in… another realm.

Alright, enough about that. Sure, it looks like Lillian has found a good new life, but things can get rough when you can’t be in your true form. Why? Because Lillian is a seraph, that’s why. So most of the time, if she wanted to let herself out, she had to make a long a*s trip to the woods. I don’t know if it’s her or something about what she is, but her screams are some of the saddest, angriest, and most terrifying sounds anyone could ever hear. Imagine the sounds of a weeping woman, female rage, and bloody murder all combined, that’s the sound of Lillian.

If only… if only there was someone who… is also a creature like her, someone who isn’t from this world and hides in it. If only…

Pov of Lillian

“Let me get this straight before I start to tweak. You’re the reincarnation of the moon? Like, the actual Goddess?"

“For the 10th time, Y E S, I’m the Goddess of the moon. And if you don’t stop asking I’m going to give you a god-like kick in the a*s”

I don’t know what is with my encounters, but they turn out more weird every time. 1st one, I met a frickin FBI undercover, which I luckily behaved my best with. 2nd one was my darling’s dad, who I did not want to ever meet again. And now this, The Moon Goddess herself, right in front of my eyes. What’s next? A dragon or something?

This is so out of nowhere.

Anyway, let me go back a few minutes.

I was minding my own business, walking to my usual spot in the forest(Because normal humans totally do that), and Cyn just so happened to come down to earth at the same moment I was walking. So here we are, two in-human beings seeing each other for the first time. My first thought? Just looking at her dead in the eyes. No talking, no moving, just eye contact. 

After some agonizing 20 minutes of staring. Cynthia finally broke the silence. But skipping all the yapping, Cyn introduces herself, not like- “Hi there, I’m totally a human”, Nah, she knows I ain’t human, she isn’t stupid to believe a “human” would be in this specific spot of the forest.

End of POV

“Now that I’ve had the pleasure of introducing myself, might I kindly ask you to do the same, Lillian?”

“Wha… what?”

“Be a darling and show yourself”

“Uh- alright”

Lillian steps back, she hasn’t been in her true form since she became a fallen one. But it wouldn’t be a burden to be one again.

Alright, how did it go? Two fingers slide down, and make an eye sign… is she doing it correctly- OH!

Suddenly, the not-so-human human wasn’t there anymore. In its place now stood a new being, Not little fallen Lilli, no, this was Lillian.

The creature now stood at 12 feet tall, with three sets of wings at its sides. Each pair of wings has many little individual eyes. In the middle of it, was the center eye. Holy crap, Lillian felt powerful.

“Oh my, such a wonderful sight” Cynthia was quite amazed at this sight, and who could blame her, religious or not, the sight of an angel can amaze anyone(or terrify them-)

The seraph transformed back into her human form, damn, that certainly took some energy out of Lillian. It’s nice to know she won’t be using this form anytime soon.

Lillian decided to take Cynthia to her house. Since Cynthia didn’t have where to stay on Earth, these beings walked to Lillian’s house, getting to know each other on their way. But they weren’t alone, no, of course not, nothing can be peaceful. The king of the stars, Cynthia’s brother, Nox, was also here on Earth. Nox was tired of always trying to convince Cynthia to not go down, he believed the humans were degenerates who caused mayhem everywhere they went. So, he decided to stop begging and take action, today he wasn’t going to worry about Cyn down on earth, today He was going to stop this, once and for all.

Once the women were close enough, Nox revealed himself, stepping out of the pine tree. The “young man” as normies would describe him, is about 6’2, with milky white skin and sapphire blue eyes. His raven hair was put into a slick back. Definitely handsome- I mean, what?? Who said that?

Nox steps out of the pine, approaching Cynthia and Lillian.

“Ahem..”

Lillian turns around

“Wha-”

“Good evening ladies, it seems one of you needs to talk with me..”

“Did you seriously have to come down here?”

“Who…?”

“Oh, it was absolutely necessary, Cynthia”

“What the f**k is going on….???”

“What’s this? A human? You seriously made friends with an earth-commoner, didn’t know you had such low standards”

“HUMAN?! I’ll let you know what human is you big piece of shi-”

“CALM DOWN BOTH OF YOU!!”  

Cynthia preferred to not yell, but right now she needed to since the angel and the god looked like they were about to pull each other's hair if someone didn’t stop them.

“Thank you” smiles calmly “Let us introduce ourselves properly, shall we? Nox, this is Lillian, a former seraphim, not human, she is such a sweetheart. Lillian, this is Nox, my brother, and Ruler of the stars and nights”

“My apologies, Seraph” Lillian felt a shiver down her spine at the name “It appears I have gotten confused, a pleasure to meet you.” 

“Pleasure meeting you too, uhh.. Your majesty?”

“Nox, no need for formality”

“Right, sooo… why did you… you know, come down here??”

“I came here to have a lovely talk with my sister…, right Cyn?”

“Please excuse us for a moment, Lillian, I need to have a conversation with my brother”

Cynthia and Nox teleport a few yards away, the tension building up

“Why did you need me to talk with you?” asks Cyn, already knowing where this is going

“Cynthia, I’ve tried so many times, but you just dismiss me, and it’s getting tiring to keep up with your stubborn a*s”

“You know what they say ‘This a*s isn’t for anyone’” smirks

“Real mature, Queen of the moon”

“C’mon, it was good” nudges his elbow

After the conversation, which was more of just Nox arguing and Cynthia dismissing him, they teleported back to where Lillian was.

She was on her phone, well, more like a talking portal. She was talking to the only person she ever trusted more than anything, Capella, oh~ dear Capella, Lillian’s darling partner.

“How’s life up there, love? Anything interesting?”

“I met the gods of the moon,” says Lillian in the most dazed and nonchalant tone, as if meeting deities were as common as mowing the land.

“You what-”

“Hey Lillian we’re back!” Cynthia and Nox approach Lillian

“Call you back, Capella, I have to go” blows an air kiss and closes the portal

“Who was that?”

“My girlfriend!”

“You have a girlfriend? Cool”

“Yeah, anyways, what do we do now?”

“Back to what we were doing before this thing interrupted us”

“Excuse me-”

“Alright”

Home, 9:54 PM

Lillian just came back from buying two sleeping bags from Walmart. After setting up the place where her guests will sleep(more like Cynthia will sleep in here since Nox still doesn’t like Earth [just in case he changes his mind]) She goes to the kitchen and starts to cook some dinner.

While cooking dinner, Lillian gets a few little backlashes from when she was in heaven. One of those memories was when a new soul was entering Heaven for judgment, for a quick second, she saw a being in the form of a dragon, like a hybrid. Why was she thinking bout that right now? It was probably not that important.

“Ow…” Says in a not-so-painful tone

“Gosh darn it..” Lillian walks to the sink to rinse the burn, materializing a piece of bandage. She wrapped it around her finger and finished cooking.

“Uhh, dinner’s ready!”

Cynthia enters the kitchen, freshly showered and in a set of pajamas that she borrowed from Lillian. 

“Ooo, what did you cook? It smells delectable” She looks over Lillian’s shoulder 

“Pesto pasta, want some?”

“Sure”

Lillian serves Cynthia a dish of pesto pasta, the smell of the basil entering Cynthia’s nostrils. She grabs a fork and starts to dig in. She takes a bite and feels a sense of satisfaction at the taste of the pine nuts and parmesan cheese.

“Mmmm, so delicious, you’ve impressed me with your cooking skills Lillian”

“Thank you, thank you” Lillian serves herself a plate of pasta and sits down to eat.

After dinner, Lillian washed the dishes while Cynthia cleaned up the table.

Then, Lillian brings the sleeping bag to the living room and sets it up to make it comfortable for Cynthia.

“Thank you again for the hospitality, Lillian, it is an honor being a guest at your home”

“Pleasure’s all mine, Cyn. Also, you’re not a guest, you’re now an official living person here.”

“Oh, darling, I can’t accept that, It would be a bi-”

“Nope. The final decision, Cyn. You literally have no other place to go, not that I know of, and it saves you time.”

Calm sigh “Alright. Fine then, I’m your official roommate now”.
