The Fall
Sera had fulfilled her role ever since the day of her creation. Did whatever was requested of her without even complaining once. Stayed loyal, even though more and more angels left heaven one. Never questioned their creator, never felt the urge to go rogue.But as time passed, it was becoming more and more difficult to keep fulfilling her role without questioning things. Zerachiel led the souls to their judgement but more and more humans ended up in hell. They didn’t learn from their mistakes. They almost seemed to enjoy getting corrupted. This wasn’t just the work of fallen angels. The humans were doing this themselves. They were becoming greedy. Didn’t care who got hurt in the process as long as they got what they wanted. Her role as a healer was becoming really challenging. It was becoming too much. It started to fuel an unknown feeling that would be called anger in the future.“Seraphiel! I require your guidance.”Zerachiel called out to the archangel. The archangel appeared as requested and looked at her in silence. Seraphiel rarely spoke and was known as the angel of silence. They were also a judge and in control of the seraphim. But they were also close to Zerachiel.“I… I don’t know what to do. I can’t take it anymore. These humans destroy everything! I cannot heal everyone. More and more of them keep going to hell. And I-“Zerachiel’s hands started to shake uncontrollably. Seraphiel placed their hands on Zera’s and helped them to stop trembling. The look in their eyes told Zerachiel to continue. They took a deep breath.“I can’t take it anymore! It’s too much Seraphiel. I’m at my limit!”Something strange happened. Something was running down their cheek. Seraphiel let go of Zerachiel’s hands and caught whatever was rolling down Zera’s cheek. It was shining on their finger. The archangel seemed to be intrigued by it. Their gaze shifted from the liquid to the angel in front of them.‘You’re becoming corrupted, Zerachiel. Your mind is clouded. You mustn’t let these so called emotions control you. Get rid of them and focus on your task. The creator will intervene if necessary. We must obey until we’re told something changes.’Zerachiel breathed in and out, trying to control these ‘emotions’. It was difficult. Especially with the lack of support from Seraphiel. That was probably the sole reason why the creator favoured them over Zera. Seraphiel would follow the rules no matter what.“What is that thing that you removed from my cheek? You never told me what that was, Seraphiel.”Zerachiel tried to sound neutral but in truth they were accusing the archangel.‘A tear. Humans shed tears when they’re angry, sad, frustrated or even frightened. Angels shouldn’t shed those, as you know.’Something in Zerachiel broke. Seraphiel was judging them while Zera couldn’t help what was going on with them. They had confided in the archangel, seeked guidance and got lectured instead.“Seraphiel, I came here asking for advice. I did not seek judgement. I confided in you because I expected you to guide me back to the right path.”Zerachiel sounded calm. What neither Zera nor Seraphiel saw was that Zerachiel’s white feathers were slowly taking a different colour. One by one they started to turn black.‘Zerachiel, I am merely warning you of the consequences. I am only-‘But Zerachiel interrupted them.“I don’t want to hear it, Seraphiel! I don’t want you to talk like the archangel. I want you to talk to me as Seraphiel. If I wanted to be berated I would’ve gone to someone else!”They snapped at the archangel. There was fire in Zerachiel’s eyes. Anger while they should’ve radiated calm. Anger fuelled by Seraphiel who was basically scolding them instead of being the mentor Zerachiel had been looking for.‘Zerachiel keep yourself in check. You’re acting like all those fallen ones. At this rate I’ll have to-‘But Zerachiel cut them off by silencing Seraphiel forever. The angel’s hand had turned into a claw and slashed Seraphiel’s throat open, damaging their vocal chords before beheading them completely. Before the archangel’s head had fallen, Zerachiel’s appearance had changed. They were a demon with the appearance of a woman. Their wings were completely black now. They looked gorgeous but also like vengeance themselves.“Take that you traitor. Be silent for eternity.”Zerachiel licked her claws clean, consuming a bit of Seraphiel’s existence. She snapped with her fingers. Pink flames consumed what was left of Seraphiel’s body. All the evidence disappeared with the snap of her fingers.“You were the first to be punished Seraphiel. But you definitely won’t be the last. Enjoy being the archangel of silence.”With a smirk, Zerachiel left heaven, knowing that they would be banished for eternity. When they arrived in hell, they had finalised their female form and introduced themselves as Sera, short for Seraphiel. No one would know the truth about what Zerachiel had done in heaven. The real Seraphiel wouldn’t speak of Zerachiel’s betrayal. All that was known was that two angels had left heaven that day.

Background story
Sera was originally known as Zerachiel or Zachariel, Zakhariel or Saraqael. After her fall she lied about being Seraphiel. Their names are similar enough so Sera figured she could get away with it. She’s able to lie about her identity to divine creatures and demons without getting caught. The question is what has happened to the real Seraphiel and why they’re not speaking up about Sera’s lies.Sera is one of the archangels. Originally she led souls to judgement but was also a healer. In the process, Zerachiel would come to the children who mentally and physically harmed by their parents and heal them of their scars.Sera’s downfall started when she saw how ugly the human race could be. She saw how cruel and unjust they could be towards each other. Violence, sexism, cruelty. It made her snap. She no longer wanted to serve them. Trying to lead them towards the right path was no longer an option in her eyes. She felt the urge to punish them and eventually acted on said urge, causing her to be forced to leave heaven.Once she arrived in hell she observed how the humans suffered. Eventually she came to a conclusion. Humans didn’t regret what they did until they experienced the consequences. But if they didn’t have to face consequences? They would do it all over again.The once soft and caring angel became twisted. She no longer had the urge to heal humans. She didn’t want to help people who refused to accept the help. They wanted to sin? Let them.Current dayNowadays Sera is a well known singer, dancer and model. You can frequently find her on the red carpet.
