Sealed With a Kiss: Prologue
by Anya
"Get stuffed, ya stupid winged freak!" snarled the misshapen old man in a harsh and rasping voice. Squat, filthy and profoundly ugly, his face was screwed into an expression of perpetual contempt.

A woman of etheral beauty looked at him from across the room, ignoring the ruins and rubble their little squabble had caused. The pristine walls were cracked, the debris of the marble ruins lying in large chunks on the floor. The stairs up to the altar were upheaved, ruined beyond repair. Miraculously, the altar and it's sacred burden remained intact. The amulet still glittered freshly.

"This is not over, old man! I will not fail!" she said softly, focusing her eyes on the gnarled hunchback.

"Yeah right! I'm stronger than you are, sweetheart! I got more power than a freaking 'holier than thou' screw-up like yourself, and I'm a lot younger than you, ya old bitch. I ain't giving up on the seal! It's MINE!" He swore coarsely at her. His bow legs stood strong on top of the rubble, and he sneered at her.

Collecting her dignity, the angel wrapped her glowing white cloak around herself and haughtly raised her chin. "We we'll see, we will just see!". With an indignant sniff, she vanished.

Tilting his head to one side, grumbling quietly, the ugly man seemed to be listening. Grunting, he glanced at the glowing amulet. "Well.. that went well. Mostly. I guess it's back to work on that stupid girl. Would've thought by now she'd have clued in. Dumb kid."
