[Marriage...??? Zayin supposes he could officiate a marriage, yes. It would be a different conversation if Blue had ever seen his demon form, but...]

Don't get too far ahead of yourself, [Zayin chuckles.] But yes, I would be happy to officiate your wedding in the future.

⤴️ [needs to be bogged down with the specifics. He is ordained, and humans, at least, have not excommunicated him.]

[Zayin's face falls a bit, but the mood lightens again when Blue assures him things will be okay.]

If you ever have anything on your mind, I am an ordained priest, so you're welcome to confide in me. [That's somewhat of a loaded statement considering his real relationship with God, but no one ⤵️

[It seems they have an understanding. Zayin nods, solemn, repentance in his expression.]

I will, [he promises.] My path is meant for mankind to prosper, I can assure you that.

//We need to go back to my era of drawing Satan doing mundane things like cooking for the orphans with his breasts wrapped up to prevent him from being indecently exposed

[Zayin shakes his head.] It's in my soul, [he replies.] There is no magic that can change my soul without snuffing it out. So instead, I... suppose martyrdom is my only choice.

⤴️ many assumptions here, but in terms of the present, I still feel it is true no matter your past.

[Zayin tilts his head.] Why wouldn't he be? [he asks.] You have been kind to me thus far. That may seem small, but it is something to be proud of, to be kind in a world that doesn't always reciprocate. It's a form of rebellion in itself, to be true to yourself despite hardship.

…I suppose I make ⤵️

[Silence is thick as an uneasy fog between them until Zayin speaks again.]

...When it is done, I will be the last to fall. That is my fate.

[Dread? The power of demons in his veins, perhaps? But Zayin is kind to the innocent, and so long as Blue commits no mortal sin, he will be fine.]

I see... He must be very proud of you, to leave you with such a name. [So he imagines, at least. What's it like, to have a grandfather?]

Blue Oak. That paints a nice picture. [Zayin smiles a bit.] I would share mine, but... Alas. Seldom do the people in Millennium have families.

[Zayin clears his throat.] Well... I am half demon myself. I'd be quite the hypocrite.

[SNEEZES]

...Someone needs to stop talking about me behind my back.

I've known a man named Hawk, so it isn't strange to me. Blue is a fine color, anyway.

I wish I could throw caution to the wind and do something. The politics surrounding demons are... delicate. The cruel ones, however, I certainly wouldn't mind putting to the blade.

......

[Not very talkative, huh? The soldier clears his throat.] Err... I'm Zayin. Nice to meet you.

You are not invited to this post

That makes two of us, at least...

I declared myself a face of God... A false Messiah. I willingly accepted ascension from the angels who had ceded from God's kingdom. There is no returning from that.

Sometimes I wonder how the people who witnessed the Megiddo Ark in action can look at me as a man and not a monster.

I hate demons so much.
