This is the Tale of The Fallen One
The First Archangel
The angel that fell from the Heavens fought through the depths of Hell
Once upon a time, there was a noble warrior of the gods, an angel known by the name of Xander. He was not the most powerful or intelligent but he had a true warrior spirit which led him to become the second in command of the Army of Heaven. He lived the life he dreamed of but that all changed at the end of one battle when the one person he considered family Jack a brother to him stabbed him through the back Xander dropped to his knees looking at the army he helped lead all of them dead on the battlefield. Jack walked around Xander and used his sword to lift his head to stare into his eyes telling him that he was grateful for the help in getting a powerful ancient weapon, Jack then ripped off Xander’s wings and hurled Xander off the edge of heaven and down to earth. As Xander plummeted down to earth Jack picked up his sword and Xander’s helmet and then flew to the temple of the gods. Once he arrived he stumbled into the middle of the temple then announced that they had won the battle against the forces of hell but at a great cost, saying that he and Xander were the final two fighting before a demon stabbed Xander through the back killing him and throwing his body into the depths of hell, I killed the st three demons but I had still lost my brother. The only thing that remained of him was his helmet. The gods told Jack to leave the helmet so they could restore it and that they would make him a new set of powerful armor; they then told him to rest in his chambers and that the healers would visit him soon. Jack said thank you and made his way to his chambers. Xander plummeted through the sky and crashed into a lone cabin in the middle of a forest knocking him unconscious.

The man who lived there rushed to his house and noticed Xander he swiftly picked him up and took him to the living room and id him down on the table then he took off Xander’s armor and cut his shirt he rolled Xander on his side then grabbed some alcohol to clean the wounds, then he ground up some herbs into a paste and smeared it on the wounds, stly he bandaged Xander up and took him to a bedroom where he id him down on an extra bed. The man took Xander’s armor to his forge; he then picked up some of his tools and some wood, and then went to start repairing his home. One week ter Xander woke up from a coma caused by his severe injuries not knowing where he was he tried to stand up but instantly colpsed, hearing the commotion the man put down his book and made his way to Xander and helped him back onto the bed expining what happened and that he is gd that Xander woke up. After taking a moment to process all of this he asked the man his name and what he did with his armor & weapons, the man responded saying I am Hephaestus son of Zeus and Hera god of fire, volcanoes, forges, and bcksmithing as for what I did with your armor & weapons I took them to my forge to repair I am almost finished only things remaining is to fix your wrist guards and to make you a helmet but I will work on that ter for right now I will help you to the kitchen and make some food for you to get your energy back as you eat you will tell me your tale. That evening as Xander ate he told Hephaestus about everything from the day he was born to the moment he woke up. The next morning Xander woke by the ear-piercing screech of a demon he quickly got out of bed and made his way to the origin of the sound when he got there he found Hephaestus standing over the demon holding a fming hammer the demon trembling in fear, Hephaestus then picked up the demon and threw it over his shoulder then he gestured for Xander to follow him, they then made their way to his forge Hephaestus opened a cage and through the demon inside saying Alexios next time you try and run away I will chop off your hands and feet, Alexios then said yes sir but I was not trying to escape I saw my evil twin that escaped several months ago and I was going to try and catch him but he got away since he was in that demon cat form thing. Hephaestus turned around mumbling something under his breath he grabbed Xander’s armor and told him to put it on, he then walked over to a set of giant steel doors and swung them open grabbing his armor and weapons as well as Xander’s sword and spear he threw Xander's weapons to him then put on his armor and smmed the steel doors shut. Xander was leaning on the wall ready and waiting for instructions as Hephaestus grabbed his axe and hammer, attaching them to his belt. After Hephaestus finished getting ready and was about to tell Xander what was going on but Alexios interrupted saying you are going to need me to come with you if you want to catch my brother, Alex, Hephaestus looked straight into Alexios’ eyes, and said If you try anything I guarantee I will chop off your head and use your corpse to make a new sword and set of gauntlets, Alexios responded saying I swear on my life that I will not try anything. Still, I will need my daggers and armor for this adventure, Hephaestus agreed and gave Alexios his armor and weapons back. As Alexios got ready Hephaestus expined to Xander that when all the realms merged a great evil was formed that threatened to destroy everything in existence so the gods worked together and sealed the evil in hell as that happened Thor, Ares, & I killed all of the remaining forces of hell that escaped or so we thought, I had chosen to retire from my godly duties though occasionally making some armor and weapons, I mainly just lived enjoyed retirement that was until I found Alexios & Alex feasting on my livestock I caught them and told them that if they help me around the property I will spare their lives they agreed and helped out but one day I woke up to a crash from my forge as I made my way there I noticed Alexios leaning against the door bleeding I rushed into the forge picked my crossbow off the wall and to my shock found Alex stealing from my vault one of the keys required to release the evil that the gods imprisoned with no hesitation I shot Alex and threw him in a cage I then rushed back to Alexios and picked him up and rushed him to my house to heal him with some herbs after he healed up he expined what happened I let him stay in my house that night to heal but I took him to my forge the next day and found that Alex escaped with one of the keys to unlock the great evil. I locked up Alexios not knowing if I could trust him, I let Ares & Thor know that a rogue demon stole one of the keys. From then on I just lived my life until the day you fell from the heavens and crashed through my roof. Xander Alexios you two are going to travel to the underworld and talk with Hades he should be able to provide information on how to hunt Alex down, while y’all talk with Hades I will meet with Thor & Ares and help reinforce the vaults that guard two more of the four keys as for the fourth one that is heavily guarded in Zeus’ temple.
