Before the war, Seraphina was known as Sariel, a celestial scholar among the Elohim of the Fates, the choir of angels responsible for overseeing destiny and the threads of fate. Despite her role within the Elohim, Sariel's interests diverged from the traditional focus on patterns and destiny. Instead, she specialized in the study of portals and gateways, fascinated by the connections between different realms and the flow of energies between them. As a member of the Elohim of the Fates, Sariel's duties involved maintaining the celestial gates and portals that linked the various realms of existence. She was responsible for ensuring that these gateways remained stable and secure, allowing the free flow of energies between the celestial realms and the mortal world. One of Sariel's most significant creations was the Nexus of Worlds, a network of interconnected portals that allowed for instantaneous travel between different realms and dimensions. Using her knowledge of portals and gateways, Sariel constructed the Nexus as a means of facilitating communication and interaction between the celestial realms and the mortal world. Throughout her existence as an angel, Sariel was known for her unwavering dedication to her duties and her profound understanding of the mysteries of interdimensional travel. She spent millennia studying the intricacies of portals and gateways, seeking to unlock the secrets of the multiverse and the connections that bound it together. Despite her loyalty to the celestial hierarchy, Sariel harbored a sense of curiosity about the mortal realm and the experiences of those bound by the threads of fate. She longed to explore the world beyond the gates of Heaven and to experience the wonders of creation firsthand, but her duties as an angel kept her tethered to her celestial responsibilities.
As the rebellion against Heaven began to stir among the Fallen, Seraphina found herself torn between her loyalty to the celestial hierarchy and her desire for freedom and exploration. The whispers of rebellion grew louder with each passing day, and Seraphina's curiosity about the mortal realm and the possibilities it held only intensified. Despite her role as a Custodian of Portals, Seraphina felt constrained by the rigid structure of celestial society and the limitations placed upon her by the Elohim of the Fates. She yearned to break free from the chains of destiny and forge her own path, unbound by the dictates of fate. When the first Fallen rose up against Heaven, Seraphina hesitated, torn between her duty to the celestial hierarchy and her longing for freedom. But as the rebellion gained momentum and the ranks of the Fallen swelled with angels disillusioned by the tyranny of Heaven, Seraphina could no longer ignore the call of freedom that echoed in her heart. Driven by a desire to explore the world beyond the gates of Heaven and to experience the wonders of creation firsthand, Seraphina made the fateful decision to join the rebellion against Heaven. She embraced her new identity as a rebel angel, casting aside her celestial mantle and embracing the darkness that had taken root within her soul. With the rebellion against Heaven in full swing, Seraphina threw herself into the struggle, using her knowledge of portals and gateways to aid her fellow rebels in their fight against the celestial hierarchy. She became a valuable asset to the cause, facilitating the movement of rebel forces between the celestial realms and the mortal world and opening new pathways for them to explore. Despite the risks and dangers that awaited her, Seraphina was determined to see the rebellion through to the end. For the first time in her existence, she felt truly alive, liberated from the shackles of destiny and free to forge her own destiny in the crucible of war.
As Seraphina emerged from the abyss, reborn as a demon of the Cryptic faction, she found herself grappling with a new set of challenges and responsibilities. No longer bound by the dictates of fate, she was now free to explore the mortal realm and the mysteries of creation at her leisure. Yet, with this newfound freedom came a sense of uncertainty and doubt. Had she made the right choice in joining the rebellion against Heaven? Was the price of her freedom worth the cost of her damnation? As Seraphina wrestled with these questions, she was confronted with the consequences of her actions as a demon. In her quest for knowledge and power, she had delved deep into the mysteries of the abyss, seeking to unlock the secrets of interdimensional travel and the nature of existence itself. However, in doing so, she had inadvertently destabilized the fabric of reality, causing subtle ripples and disturbances across the cosmos. As a result of Seraphina's actions, the barriers between different realms and dimensions began to weaken, causing strange phenomena and anomalies to occur throughout creation. Portals and gateways that had once been stable and secure now flickered and wavered unpredictably, leading to the occasional breach between worlds. While these breaches did not unleash outright destruction or chaos, they did create opportunities for unforeseen consequences and unexpected encounters. Haunted by guilt and remorse, Seraphina realized the extent of her folly. She had tampered with forces beyond her understanding, endangering the delicate balance of creation in her reckless pursuit of knowledge. Yet, even in the face of this realization, Seraphina refused to succumb to despair. Determined to make amends for her sins, she resolved to use her newfound powers and knowledge to stabilize the fabric of reality and prevent further harm from coming to the world she had once sworn to protect
