Astarte draft

*1 year away before the end of the Eternal Colnflict:*

Angel Izual sighed with relief as he stood above the defeated demon's body. He didn't even know the demon's name, he stopped caring and counting how many of them he slayed long ago. The Eternal Conflict exhausted and drained him completely, but finally it was coming to an end as the last forces of Hell were hunted and destroyed or sealed in Hell for the rest of eternity. As he took out his sword from dead body, Izual suddenly heard a laughter and felt a presence from behind. Instantly he turned around with the sword in his hand...but no one was there. He heard a teasing laughter again.

"Who is this?"- angrily shouted Izual.

No response, but yet he still felt presence of someone. Suddenly he noticed a shadow behind him with the corner of his eye and immediatly turned around ready to kill it, but it dissapeared.

"Reveal yourself, demon or whatever you are!"- said Izual.

Yet no response again. Fine, the Angel thought, it's time for him to leave and report to others about his status. As he was leaving, Izual heard a louder laughter and felt a presence from his back even closer. He immediatly did a back penetrating move, but the sword only hit the empty air. Confused and slightly bit scared, he saw a dagger on the ground. He approached it and picked it up. He never saw this weapon before, probably a weapon from Hell. As he was thinking about it, he felt the presence again, but this time, before he could even turn and react, another dagger went right into his throat, and the last image he saw was a beaitiful woman appearing out of thin air in a long red dress. The Angel's body fell right on top of the demon body, but the woman's trace was gone like she was never there before.
