Broken Wings
Chapter 1 - Fallen
Stopping at the massive golden doors that stood in front of him, he began to straighten his white linen toga. Quickly he checked his leather roman sandals to make sure they were lashed correctly. He glanced down at the silver rings that adorned his long slender fingers. He aligned the rings, as well as the silver braces around his wrists. Looking over his shoulder he made sure his white feathered wings were folded properly behind him. Tossing his long chestnut braid over his shoulder, Duo raised his hand to rap on the thick doors. The doors slowly opened before him and Duo took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
From the high ceiling huge a large chandelier, below the floor was a soft grey marble. At the end of the room are a throne. Duo proceeded towards the throne and the ethereal being that sat at the end of the room. Trying as he may, Duo couldn't help but look at the tapestries that lined the walls. The tapestries bore scenes of love, devotion and passion. The figures in the scenes were familiar to Duo. They were his friends, Heero, Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre. Duo was the first member of the imperial guard, he was also the first angel his Lord took to his bed.
Duo clenched his fists as his eyes passed over the images of his friends and fellow guards in rapture. After Duo, Wufei was second in command, he was also the second taken to their Master's bed. After Wufei came Trowa, then Heero, finally came Quatre. Duo wept the day Quatre was called to join Duo and the others. Duo and Quatre were lovers, but once the Master took Quatre to his bed he denied Duo rights to touch Quatre. Duo loved his friends, especially Quatre, but when the Lord called all of them to his bedchambers, more than once, and never summoned Duo, Duo began to feel envious. All four were his friends and members of the imperial guard, just like Duo. All five of them were the most beautiful and seductive of the angels. Duo felt like he was used. Some to be intimate with until someone better comes along. Now all of Duo's friends, including his lover, were whores to their Master.
Duo tore his eyes from the tapestries. The day after the Lord had Wufei, he had many tapestries made in Wufei's image. The same occurred with the others, Quatre was obviously the Master's favorite since many more of the tapestries were devoted to him. Duo knew that not one of the hundreds of images on the walls held his likeness.
Duo continued to walk towards the throne. He kept his eyes downcast. Once at the foot of the throne, Duo bowed,
"Yes Duo?" The man on the throne questioned. Duo winced inwardly, even just being in his Master's presence seemed to annoy his Lord.
"My Lord I-" Duo raised his eyes as he spoke and choked on his words as he saw Quatre sitting next to the throne with his arms across the Master's thighs with his head resting on his arms. The Master played with Quatre's golden hair. How Duo longed to feel that silken hair or that pale skin.
"What is it Duo?" The Master snapped. Duo shook out of his reverie. He caught Quatre's eyes and smiled. They hadn't seen each other in over a week. Quatre smiled back.
"I'm sorry my Lord."
"Yes, Yes." The Lord waved a hand of dismissal., "What do you want?" Duo took a deep breath.
"I wish to inquire..." Duo looked at his feet, "I with to know why I have been forgotten." Quatre gasped. The Master bellowed out a loud laugh.
"Forgotten?"
"Yes my Lord. Why have I not been summoned?" The Lord chuckled.
"Because I don't want you." He replied flatly. Duo stiffened,
"Why?" The Lord smiled and patted Quatre's head.
"Because, unlike Quatre and the others, you are stained." Quatre perked up.
"Stained?" Duo was shaking.
"Yes Duo you are stained. You are not pure. You are the son of a demon." Duo took a step back whispering,
"What?" The Master rose from his throne and walked down to Duo. Quatre remained seated beside the throne.
"You are the son of Shinigami."
"No, my wings..." Duo whispered slowly reaching a hand to touch his white wings.
"Your wings are but a glamorie." The Lord waved a hand and Duo's wings turned black. Quatre gasped and Duo shook his head in disbelief and walked backwards.
"It's not true."
"Yes Duo, it is. I know you never saw a tapestries made to you, but..." The Lord pointed to the ceiling. Duo slowly followed his hand.
"NO!" Duo collapsed on the floor.
On the ceiling was a mural. Duo, with his black wings stood with a glimmering silver scythe in his hand. His hair was unbound and clung to his blood covered body. At his feet lay the bodies of men and women alike. Duo's image had his other hand that was not holding the scythe, raised to his lips and his tongue lapped at the blood that trickled from his fingers.
Duo composed himself and asked,
"How?"
"Simple," The Lord replied, "You were born the song of Shinigami. But for some reason you had the beauty of an angel, but the wings of a demon. So you father gave you to me. But not before his imperial guards got you first. You wouldn't remember. I covered those memories, the memories of your origin as well as cover your black wings. But they will return to you soon."
In front of the Master appeared a circlet of silver. The crown was twisted and sharp like thorns. The Master placed the circlet on Duo's head where the sharp points pierced his skin. Small trails of blood trickled down his forehead and mingled with his tears. A portal to the Earth plain appeared below Duo,
"Farewell Demon Prince," and Duo fell.
The Master laughed then a strip of white shot past him. Quatre dove in after his love just as the portal closed. The Master saw two feathers flutter to the ground. One black and one white,
"White?" The Master spun towards the throne. Quatre was gone.
"Damn you Duo!"
