The Walking Dead (Idrys)

It was a well-known fact that Idrys had spent most of her time in Heaven and had rarely walked the Earth. She was fascinated by mortals, she wanted to get to know them, so it was not like she had avoided the Earth because she did not want to be there. The truth was that God and the older angels had not let her leave their beloved Heaven as often as she would have liked to. From all her years of existence, Idrys had learned one thing for sure: people had given birth to stereotypes regarding the supernatural, but they were often untrue. Not all demons were evil forces and not all angels were as pure and innocent as they thought. But she... she was exactly the way they believed her to be. Pure, innocent and kind, with a big heart and ready to lend a helping hand to whoever needed it. This was probably why the other angels were so protective of her.

That day however was a rather special one for her. She had finally been allowed not only to leave Heaven, but also pick whatever place on Earth she could think of. She knew that most of her acquaintances would have picked huge cities or places filled with history; she however, had chosen a different village, a place forgotten by time itself, it looked to her. The town only had small houses, two or three shops and a graveyard. It didn’t even have a hospital, no matter how small – these were all in the nearby city. But she liked it nevertheless.

The cold wind was gently caressing her pale face, flying her long blonde hair and her calf-length white dress. She was not there in order to meet someone, she only wanted to see how life was in that tiny corner of paradise. God however seemed to have some other plans for her, because she soon spotted someone inside the graveyard. It was a young man she had not met before, who seemed to be playing tricks on humans, which made her realize that he was not powerless. Standing in a secure spot, she waited for the teenagers to vanish, and only afterwards passed the old iron gates. „Nice. Mature,” she spoke sarcastically, shaking her head.


off: Hey there! Welcome to the forum! I hope it's okay that I replied with my little angel.

Idrys was that kind of angel that loved humans; she loved people and everything they did for a living, the way they had learned almost by themselves how survive in this crazy world, filled with mystical beings that seemed to be there only in order to confuse them, to distract them from their real goals and then mock them when they manage to do it. And even so, people were far from being innocent and helpless. They were sometimes even worse than some of the natural beings; they had created an insane society and they were all part of that complicated machinery that kept it moving around. They were often silly, caring only about what was on the outside, and not on the inside, but even these imperfections made Idrys crave for them more. She was curious about them, which was why she had always tried to convince her superiors to let her go down on the Earth as well, meet with humans and get to know them.

In all honesty, she would have loved to arrive in that forgotten place and only meet with these people she was so interested in, but it seemed like someone up there had other plans for her. She had managed to bump into another supernatural being, even though she did not know exactly what he was. That was rather odd, they could usually sense the nature of everything around, but she couldn’t understand anything at the moment.

Gently folding her arms over her chest, she leaned against the old iron gates of the cemetery, her warm brown eyes gazing up at him, as he hadn’t even bothered to come down from the tree in order to talk to her. - I don’t know what to say about this... That was not even that good, you’ll have to agree with me. It was no fun for those kids, she replied, shaking her head.
