Black Angel (inglês)

Nota: inspirado (muito levemente) no Cavaleiro do Verbo (Knight of the Word), personagem de Terry Brooks

------------------------------------------------------------------

If you've ever heard about me, you should know:

I'm the one whose life has changed,

for better or for worse,

in that day... when the sun raised earlier.

Yes, I'm "that fellow".

People call me "Black Angel"

despite my real name being Jack O'Donnel.

I don't really think I'm any different from common people.

It's just...

That vision of mine.

A blind girl carrying a sword in one hand and a book on the other.

Emerging from the ground, told me I was chosen by...

Someone-whose-name-I-don't-really-remember.

And since then I sealed my fate.

You know... I'm not a Dark Angel!

This name of mine seems a little unfair,

for those are the bad and deceitful angels;

once called White Angels, until their treason.

I'm not any White Angel either,

for those are the elected by God itself

and I was elected by... whom, again?

Have you ever met the other "color" Angels?

I know there's a Green one.

Blue, Purple, Yellow...

and a bounch of Red Angels.

No, I'm not a Red Angel!

Although I have the same job as them

I don't take away other fellow's life!

I'm a kind of guardian, if you please;

not a noble one, nevertheless not a bad one.

My job on Earth is to hunt the Devils;

the original ones,

those who already existed before the fall of the Dark Angels.

You know... from the begining of times

there were always the Good and the Evil;

coexisting.

This Evil wasn't a bad thing at all...

...until the fall of the Dark Angels.

Once White Angels, knowing the Good nature,

expelled the original devils from their domain,

becoming the lords of the Evil.

Since then... the devils just wander around in the Human World,

increasing the chaos,

acting just by instinct.

And since then there were Color Angels:

elected human beings

to equalize...things.

I'm one of them... the Black one.

Why black? Why not a color less mistaken with dark?

I don't know. It wasn't my choice.

It's just who I am.
