♫ Fallen Angel ♫
"What a beauty..." Alexandria breathed a faint mist onto the glass window as he spoke, mesmerized by the scene before him.

The Angel rose from beneath the black, murky water and glowed, under the evening sun. Her orange-tanned body was perfect - slender, strong, along with the right curves and bumps. Looking at her lean but injuries-filled body, one could easily tell the number of wars she had been through. The end of a war, is usually the start of another. Her black wings, the left being impaired by the everlasting war, spread out as she floated slightly above the water. They were huge, with bits and pieces of crimson-red, still burning on her wings. It will never be the same white snowy wings that used to soar amongst the clouds and raced against the wind. No matter how many times she tried to cleanse them, it remained. They were the best proves of wars, scars of wars.
Lifting her head slightly backwards with eyes closed, she raised both arms sideways. Slowly, she ascends, with drops of dark water still dripping off her wings. Strange enough, her body was perfectly dry. A gentle wind danced across the hall, as if agreeing to her thoughts. Her lips edged up slightly as she came to a stop.
Warmth.Basking in the gentle evening sun, memories raced through her mind. It has been months since she last saw the Sun. Light will never be able to reach this condemned place, let alone sunlight. It was a surprise, a gift, and she savored every moment of it.
It did not take long before the sunlight disappeared and the surroundings dimmed, made visible only by the flames of the fire torch.
Her eyes opened, blue, with tears of blood.

Alexandria gasped. Having served her for so many years, he had never seen her being so... dark. Her eyes were able to change according to her mood and that pair of gloomy blue eyes was a first. Most of the time, it was glistering gold. Carefree, loved and happy, she used to be the source of light to everyone. Ever since she was banished here, her eyes had lost its shine and remained grey... until now.
Alexandria wondered, why on Earth was she condemned to Hell?

This is a scene that has been in my head for half a year. Somehow, I am always distracted every time I try to pen it down. And suddenly I was fiercely drawn to it tonight. I am not very good with my writings in English (sadly) compared to Chinese, but I have this nagging feeling that made me wrote in English. So, here I am. Pretty much tells my feelings.
