*Angels & Demons* (kind of) RPG Story

Angels & Demons[/color][/font]

Intro[/color][/font]

Hi! My name is Noah Angel and I think you must know me already. You probably saw me the last time as a baby.  


My parents? As you could see in the previous pic, Gabriel, an angel, is my father...


And my mother is a mortal called Arabella Spenser


Now I'm a teen. This is me:


But I'm not here to tell you the story of my parents. I'm sure you know that already (although our maker, Nyx, didn't finish their story yet). I'd like to tell you the story of my uncle, Raphael. He is not really my father's brother as everyone knows it, but they are brothers in many other ways. He is an angel, just like my dad. And he was sent on a mission, which he accomplished more than well..."

Prelude to the House of Ventrue[/color][/font]

Based on the RPGs Vampire: The Masquerade, Vampire: Dark Ages, Werewolf: The Apocalypse



Featuring: Tarih's sim, Erebo, as the Soul Collector
Also Featuring Sapphire's wonderful houses


They lived for ages.
They were used to living and they weren't afraid of death.
It could not touch them, once they were already dead.
They were the undead.
They were not many, but were well related.
One of the oldest, Aglaé, owed someone a big favour for her undead life. And it was about time for the debt to be charged. She had totally forgotten about it. But he hadn't...
It was a dark night when he came to the castle.



He was desguised. It was an important mission, and since Thanatos had been send beyond the Styx, he would have to perform this task.    


He was brought to her presence and yet she didn't recognize him.



She was a beautiful woman, and she was clever. Or so he expected her to be.



- Greetings, my lady Aglaé! - the stranger said
- Greetings to you too, sir. How do you know my name?
- I know many things about you, my lady.



- Oh... - she said in doubt
- I was the one who made you, Aglaé and now I came for you.



Her eyes widened



- I can't die. I'm undead!
- That's true. I'm here to exchange a favour for your undead life.
- What is it that you want?
- A child.

She was puzzled.



- A child, my lord? I should bear your child? I'm confused.
- Do not be confused, my lady. I know you have a child, a son with a mortal.
- That's true. He is not one of our kind, my lord.
- You are mistaken, my lady, for he is. And he is more powerful than yourself.

Eros[/color][/font]

He grew up as a normal child.  
An adorable child.
His father was his family. His mother was dead. Childbirth, his father said.
He didn't have any sibblings, and his father never let him out after sunset.
His name was Eros.  



As handsome as Narciso and Apollo. Very naive. Innocent. Pure. Untouched.
He was everything they needed. And they were coming after him.
His father knew this day would come.



That night Lucien sensed a great evil surrounding his house.
He woke Eros up and rushed out of the house.



Then he saw it.
He protected his son the best way he could but they were too many. And he was just one.



- I promise, I swear you can have me if you protect my baby son!! PLEASE!!

At this moment an army of angels came down and destroyed the Ventrues.



But the Soul Collector also showed up. Lucien (the father) had made a promise and now he was going to be taken.





Poor Eros didn't really understand what was going on and he saw his father being taken somewhere he could not go.




"It can't happen. I won't let it happen"

Eros - cont'd[/color][/font]


Eros listened to a stranger voice



- Hello, there! - he said in a soft voice - Don't worry, I'm going to take care of you, Eros.
The starnger was not human. He had beautiful, big, white wings and his eyes were kind.
- I want my daddy!!!
- Daddy is going to be fine. You will come with me now.
- What is your name? And how do you know my name?
- I know a lot of things, my child.  And my name is Raphael.





From a considerable distance, Ashton Aldrige, the Master Tremere observed the scene...

The Prophecy[/color][/font]

He shall not live
For He is Terror
He shall not be allowed to breathe
For He is Death
He shall not be allowed to see the Light
For he will destroy Her innocence
For he is the One to be avoided
For he is the One not to be believed
For he is Death and Hunger together in One
When Light and Darkness join together only a pure Heart will be able to save Human Kind...

The House Of Toreador[/color][/font]




Arminia, the Master Vampiress was resting in her quarters when she was awaken by one of her own kind. Selenus, the Elder slammed the door and entered the room.



- Wake up, my dear, for the moment is come.
- I'm sorry Selenus, I'm half awake. What is the matter? Why are you here and not resting in your dormitory? It is day.
- It cannot wait. Get up!



Arminia got up that very instant. She was sleepy but very curious about what the old vampire had to tell her.

- Some time ago I told you you would bare me a child. Do you remember that?



Yes, she did, but would not dare confess it.

- No I confess I don't remember that, my darling. What was it about?
- I see you can pretend very well, my child. Prepare yourself, for tonight we will be one.



- I'm sorry Selenus. Come back to your senses, please! I beg of you!
- You do not know what lays ahead. Be warned and be ready

He left the room the same way he had entered.

"A child of the Eldest Toreador? He must be out of his mind!"



Later on that very same night...


Arminia was alone in her bedroom.
A bat came from the window. She didn't even looked at the animal so used to them she was.
The bat transformed himself in a very charming young man.
He didn't ask Arminia's name or what she was doing there alone.



He just held her and kissed her.



It was like morphine, a bitter sweet sensation and she wanted more and more...
He possesed her and she wanted him every minute.



Arminia woke up the other night and found a note in her bedroom. It was written in blood. His blood:

"My dearest Madam,

Thank you for the sweetest night of my life and death. Now I've accomplished my mission I can cross the Stynx.
The child you will give birth to shall be named Psiqué.
She must have a special someone to take care of her and guad her live with his/her own. She will help us fulfill the Prophecy.
Watch for the Tremere for they are our enemies, and especially Ashton Aldridge. He is the ally of the enemy.

Yours eternally

Sellenus"

I'm haven't been into vampire stories for a long time, but checked out yours. I liked it. I enjoyed your well-developed plot and the photo-layout (beautiful sims, by the way). Your section, The Prophecy, was my favorite: it's so excellent that'll remember it for a long time.

[Cathy]

Thanks for your kind words, vita4all
I'm updating it as soon as I can. Now I've just reposted the last part of the previous post. The pic was not showing, so here it is...

Psiqué[/color][/font]




Arminia never thought she would miss Selenus that much. His advices always had been precious to the clan. The nights were long now the Elder had gone. But soon she would have company again... she was three months pregnant...



And then she had company again: a wolf. A beautiful and big, black wolf.
It showed up whan she first felt her baby move and it followed her all over. The she decided she would adopt it. And she named it Anteros.



Everything was ready for the baby to arrive and Arminia was being a full time mom. She had given up being the Head of the clan, at least for the time being. She was sure she would never be that again...



The baby arrived in the winter.



And it was a beautiful girl. She had Arminia's eyes. Or so she thought. But she sure had Arminia's red hair.



Arminia named her Psiqué, according to the instructions she had received from Selenus.
Psiqué grew up to be a beautiful toddler. Her hair was red and so were her eyes. And she was a very calm child. She hardly ever complain about anything, except from food.

Psiqué - cont'd[/color][/font]

The day (better saying, the night) has come when Psiqué's guardian revealed himself. He came from the Hades and he had been serving Hades till then. His name was Nemésius*...



Arminia could not accept the fact that he was going to take care of  her baby from that time on. It was unacceptable!! She was the mother!!



- I'm sorry, Lady Arminia, but I have my orders and I intend to carry them on. Even if I have to pass over you.

She objected strongly.




Arminia went to her coffin-bed in the morning and never woke up again...

*Nemésius = Nemesis = revange in Greek. Nemesis is the goddess of revange

[Cathy]

Psiqué - Part II[/color][/font]

Psiqué grew up as a child should do. She was always surrounded by her own kind, but mostly his guardian, Nemésius, her baby sitter, Invidia and her wolf, Anteros.



she stsrted having lessons on what would be necessary for her education in a very early age. And she was a good student.



When she was seven, she started to train Anteros and he behaved just like a dog to her.
All the Toreador clan respected her, just like the way they respected their elders.
She was becoming wise very fast.



But deep inside she was a little girl and she did miss her parents. The father she never met and the mother who vanished when she was very young.  



When she looked at the mirror she know she was seeing her mother's image...
And she knew something was about to happen... she was about to meet somoene very powerful and she was not afraid.
She waited.



And waited...

And while she waited she was becoming more beautiful...

Eros - a child[/color][/font]

Eros started to have a normal life after the incident in which he lost his biological father. Rapahel decided he would stay down to raise the boy.
Raphael also knew he would end up losing his wings. An angel wouldn't keep his wings living among mortals. That's what had happened to Gabriel a while ago.



He liked the boy and felt almost like his father. He decided to take the little one to an old friend's house.



Mrs. Faith Whitecloud once had been an an angel just like him. Nowadays she was a widow, but still had connetions with the angels.  

Eros was very happy at that peaceful house.



He could play with his toys.



He could study (althought he didn't really like to study...).



And the time went by.

Eros became a charming tenager.



And then something started to worry Raphael. He just didn't know what. Not yet.
Eros was still the same sweet boy, and probably that was the thing to be worried about. He ad no malice at all. He was what could be aclled a pure creature.
And Raphael decide he should watch his adopted son more closely...



But fate is inevitable.

One night the boy received a very peculiar visitor....

Nice cliffhanger.

[wawayaya]

Oh!  This is sooo great.  I laughed when I read the comment "our maker, Nyx, didn't finish their story yet."  I'm glad you've resumed this lovely work.

[Cathy]

Thanks for your comments, guys. *hugs*

Noah is right. I didn't finish the other story, but I'm slowly giving all the charachters a makeover. Now I have a new graphics card it's nicer to write sims stories. And I love doing this.

This story is just the prelude to another one and it is basically all written already. Since I don't have much time to play the game I take many pics and then put the story together.
