The Summernight

Angels
"I do not want her here, Marielle, get it!", Raziel screamed, his gold-brown wings fluttering around him. His eyes staring at Marielle, angry and furious.

"She is your daughter and you do not want her? I haven't born you a child yet and the only one you have sofar you want to send to them? The humans?", Marielle answered, her soft brown eyes glinting.

"She is the reason why I have lost the respect of many angels and everytime I see her I feel shame. When I spent that night with Persephonia I dishonoured myself, my unborn children, Persephonia, this child, the Council, God and you! How will I know if you will ever trust me again? Maybe you will never let me to you, how should I know?", Raziel said outraged.

"I will never judge you because of that. Everyone makes mistakes, some make grave ones, some not. Why don't you raise her, like one of your own. I will treat her like one of my own! You haven't seen her right, since they killed Persephonia. Promise Persephonia one thing, if you had given her death. Promise her, you will take care of your child. Can't you do that? She is your blood!"

"My daughter, will not be in my castle Marielle, do you get that? I will send her to the humans, make sure she will be fine there. And once a year, she can come for a month up here, okay? No more!"

Marielle stared at her husband. She had never thought he would be so cold hearted. To his child, even though it was his bastard child.

"You didn't dishonour anyone when you had that child. You dishonoured youself, once you send the child to the humans. That will be shameful.", Marielle said softly.

"The Council will understand. The Council will forgive and even more, will it forgive when I call her Cassia, the Bastard of the Realm."

"And you shall be remembered as Raziel, the Dishonoured. How can you call her Cassia? Cassia means vain, useless! Do me a favour if you have to call her Cassia. Keep her in this realm until she is 5 or I will leave you and you will be known as Raziel, the Dishonoured and wifeless!"
