Prologue
After the battle, the land was desolate. The soil was black and charred, the trees scorched bare. A large fault in the earth surrounded the area in a circle. Blood stained the cracked earth. A lone, tall, lanky mouse stood in the center of it all. Soft, white feathers littered the floor around him.
"I'm afraid this won't last long, O great one. What shall I do to keep them at bay?"

All the info on how stuff works in this fanfic will be stashed here.

Contracts
You may form a contract with a demon or an angel. That includes you being able to borrow their power, weapons, protection. The contracted being will follow you around invisible to other individuals unless they are also contracted. To form a contract with a demon you first need to draw a pentagram and seal it with blood. When that is done the demon will be bound to you and obliged to do every command of yours. Demons offer protection against angels and the Sight.
To form a contract with an angel you need to write a specified Latin poem replacing every name with the angel's name. Then the angel will appear and be contracted with you after you recite the poem aloud. Angels offer protection against demons and the Sight. They are also obliged to every command of yours.
Keep in mind that if you cannot control the angel's or demon's power you can either fall into a coma, become possessed or even have your body destroyed.

the Sight
The Sight is an ability to see demons and angels without summoning them. It can be obtained through spells (which are usually forbidden), contracts and enchanted items (Karma's glass eye for example.)

School Terms
Clerics are the mice that focus mainly on religion and aim for church branches in the future. They can speak Latin and are educated in Catholic history and rites. They usually have strong faith in God and angels. Academics are the non-Cleric mice of the school. They study the usual subjects and religion in an equal measure. Prefects are Academics that have been tasked with keeping order in check and report to the teachers if rulebreaking is done. Prefects wear white and red instead of black and red.

Otherworld
Otherworld is usually what the mortal mice refer to when they mean Heaven & Hell. Creatures inhabitating those such as demons, angels, their familiars and subspeices are called Otherworlders. Familiars are usually everyday creatures belonging to demons and angels that they can use as messengers of carriers of omen.

Welcome to the Otherworld, mortal.
Here you will find all the angels and demons and most basic information on them. Free or taken is their contract status. If it says "bound", they cannot be contracted at all. Half bound is a condition where only certain mice can contract.
These are minor characters until you contract with them. Then they will appear majorly. Exceptions happen like Michael or Lucifer.

Angels
Michael, angel of Miracles ( free )
Stern and might come off as insensitive. Stay in the school's church and refers to mortals as "lambs."

Azrael, angel of Death ( half bound to heaven )

Barachiel, angel of Good Fortune ( taken )
Somewhat scandalous and jokes around a lot. Angel equivalent of Beelzebub, personality-wise.

Ariel, angel of Nature ( free )
A gentle and curious figure who really doesn't like hurting anybody.

Gabriel, God's Emissary ( bound to heaven )

Harahel, angel of Knowledge ( taken )
Occupies the school's library. He might be the angel of wisdom but there are many new mortal things he doesn't know or understand.

Israfil, angel of Judgement Day ( taken )
Serious but cracks a couple of occasional jokes.

Nathaniel, angel of Fire ( taken )
Calm angel until you light the fuse. Then he's not as much fun. Good friends with Barachiel.

Raphael, angel of Healing ( free )
Usually found in the school's infirmary and heals wounded students quicker. A cheerful image.

Raziel, angel of Mysteries ( half bound to heaven )
Uriel, angel of Creativity ( free )

Demons
Lucifer, former Seraphim ( taken )
Arrogant, selfish. Likes to plot surprise attacks.

Asmodeus, demon of Wrath ( free )
The wrathful, and rightfully so. A real loose cannon.

Astaroth, Treasurer of Hell ( bound to hell )

Beelzebub, Prince of Hell ( half bound to hell )
Cheerful demon who likes to annoy Astaroth and Lucifer most of all. Great friends with Belial. His familiars are flies.

Mammon, demon of Avarice ( taken )
Fickle and greedy. Mammon utilizes mortals for their eternal greed and need for things.

Belial, the Antichrist ( half bound to hell )
Oddly peaceful and quiet. Even if Beelzebub has known him for eons, Belial is still a big mystery.

Hecate, Queen of Witches ( free )
Fiesty and impatient and likes the heat of battle. Has lots of pet crows.

Lilith, First Demon ( free )
Somewhat grumpy demon lady. Knows a couple of healing skills.

Verin, demon of Impatience ( free )

Abaddon, King of Demons ( half bound to hell )
Secluded and doesn't show his face much. An oddball even among demons.

Belphegor, demon of Wealth ( free )

Chapter 1 : The Fool

Ah, ah… hahaha, how stubborn.

***

Landon walked with leisure toward the mighty school building. It was tall with towers, intricate carvings and rose windows inspired by Notre Dame and cathedrals of the like. After a week-long break which marked the end of October, he was pretty tired. The raven-haired mouse spotted his sister running toward him from the other side, her red skirt with black lace flaring around her knees. Despite the gloomy weather and a warm November morning, Hespera was happy, as usual.
“Landoooon!” her cheerful voice reached his ears. “Did you finish the assignments we got last week?” The older brother nodded. The mouse girl with jet-black, thick curly hair started picking up more of a walk pace, panting. Some students took a diagonal left across the school grounds, to the church. It’s architecture was akin to that of the school, however, the church was built first and the school was simply matched after it. The mice that went to church first thing in the morning were called Clerics. Their studies revolved around religion more than anyone’s. Among them was Valerie Aberline, one of Hespera’s actual good friends. The mouse girl’s scarlet hair bopped as she walked across the paved road. Valerie was perhaps the kindest mouse Hespera knew of at the entire school and she aspired to work within church circles. A warm breeze blew past the crowd of non-Cleric mice, lifting their hair, skirts and coats.

Well inside the building, Landon turned off to go to his classes. Surprisingly his and Hespera’s timetables didn’t match at all. The ceilings were tall with pillars along the walls and red banisters hung across the walls. Candelabras were suspended in the ceiling with real, burning candles. The place smelled old and dusty, but that was part of the entire place’s charm. Big windows with intricate patterns were periodically exchanged for stained glass depicting angels and scenes from the Bible’s New Testament. Hespera scurried off to her math lesson as Landon entered the history classroom. It was half-full, with the teacher currently absent. They had five minutes left until start, anyway. The male mouse sat down at his usual spot, lifting his tail and curling it around his leg.
Landon’s sky-blue eyes moved left. By the window sat a mouse with pitch black fur and orange, almost reddish short hair. A white medical eyepatch graced his left eye. That was Karma Yatikasaru, if Landon recalled. The class clown. He suddenly thought back to a Tarot card deck. The Fool, that would’ve been Karma’s card. Heels echoed through the classroom and the teacher, Ms. Credby stepped through holding her classic pointer in her paws. By that, the rest of the class had already arrived. Nobody liked being late at Sanctuary. After a moment of silence, Ms. Credby sat down. She elicited surprisingly high-pitched scream and flew up from the chair, nearly knocking it over. Some mice gasped, the others tried to hold back giggles. Ms. Credby had picked up something shiny and pointy from the chair. It was one of those pins you’d use to pin things to a bulletin board.
“Who did this?!” She spat out, looking around class with chocolate brown eyes. Landon could already guess by the large grin on Karma’s face. He should’ve known. The teacher walked over to Karma and ordered him to stand up. “If you do this again, I will send you to the Headmaster!” she threatened and sent Karma outside. The mouse boy grinned again and excused himself with a phrase many knew all too well.
“This place is too boring.” And the door closed. Landon turned his attention back to the front of the classroom, flipping his book open.

Outside, Karma stood leaned against the wall. Moving his eyepatch aside, the glass eye he had was revealed. It was grey and reminded one of a doll’s eyes. Suddenly a dark shadow appeared next to the orange-haired mouse. It was tall, with a pointy tail and folded wings at it’s back.
“Did you prank someone again?” it asked.
“Yeah, the history teacher.” Karma said with a toothy grin. “She squealed like a pig.”
“And you got sent out for it, again?” the shadow sounded unamused.
“Mhm. I’m not sure when she’ll let me go back inside.” He mumbled, swinging his pale tail around. The skull earring with ruby eyes attached to Karma’s ear glimmered in the early sunlight that passed through the tall windows. Back inside the classroom everybody was too busy listening to Ms. Credby to hear Karma speaking outside. The shadow soon dispersed as Karma put on the medical eyepatch again and unhitched himself from the wall. Taking a few steps to the left, the male mouse stood in front of a colorful stained glass window. Bright spots of color played on his fur and attire. It’s pretty, he thought and spun around absentmindedly.

***

The first two periods were over. Now it was time for a church sermon. The old building could fit the entirety of the school inside of it, including both teachers and students. As the heavy bells tolled the mice turned toward it and began streaming in through the big, heavy wooden doors. Soon all the benches and balconies were filled and musicians settled at the organs. The church sessions were always kicked off with Latin song. Even the most shy and quiet often sang. The acoustics in a bulding like this were marvelous, as customary. Soon the entire hoard of mice broke out into song in unison. Everybody knew this hymn and the melody was familiar, too. Up at the front by the altar a huge stained glass mosaic graced the wall. It was of Archangel Michael and the stairway to Heaven. The general interior was heavily decorated with paintings of angels and cherubs on the inside of the ceiling. Pillars and more intricate carvings adorned the walls and were painted in white and gold, shimmering in the dim sunlight. As the music and choirs of mice faded out, the priest entered the podium placing one of the many Bible copies on the pedestal and began reading. Mice said that, during sessions like these, you could feel the angels’ presence in the room. Karma moved his eyepatch aside. There it was. A tall mouse with long and tangled golden hair. Soft, downy but large wings appeared from it’s back. Karma couldn’t exactly see their face but tipped the gender as male. The mouse stood at the altar, draped in flowy white silk. Catching a glimpse of the stained glass mosaic behind it, Karma was struck with a sudden realization. Covering his eye again, his mind processed both images. The mouse he was looked exactly like Archangel Michael in the mosaic. What had he seen? Who had he seen?

Chapter 2 : Archangel Michael

“Oh, you really don’t know?”

***

After the church session was over, the Clerics and Academics went to the cafeteria. Like the rest of the school it was done in a gothic style with red banisters depicting a winged crest. As opposed to the school and church however, the large cafeteria was cozily lit with countless flaming candles. Hespera popped down between Valerie and Landon. Karma was seated in front of the black-haired mouse, absentmindedly poking his food with the silver fork. Landon paid no particular attention to his surroundings and quietly ate his food. The redhead mouse chatted away with Hespera about everything between the earth and sky. Sanctuary’s cafeteria was bustling as usual, this was a large school. Karma was completely spaced out about what he had seen in the church during the session and in the daze, knocked over his glass. Transparent liquid spilled and trickled down the tablecloth. Several girl mice stood up and squealed, the others grabbing napkins from the holders on the wooden table. Landon reached across the long table and hit Karma’s arm.
“Oi, Yatikasaru! Snap out of it.” The black-haired mouse called out to Karma, who raised his head abruptly. “You tipped over the glass.”
“Oh… oh, sorry.” Karma laughed quietly, scratching the back of his head. Landon sighed and stood up. Karma was truly a fool. Landon picked up the plate and glass and walked away to set them off for the school personnel to take. Not long after though, he had Karma running after him.
“Hey, Chamber! Can I talk to you for a couple of minutes?” The male mouse with blue eyes turned around with a quirked eyebrow.
“Sure, whatever you have to say.” Landon replied and stepped outside through the large double doors, with Karma trailing behind him. Well outside the cafeteria they turned to one of the darker corridors of the academy.
“So, you know Archangel Michael right?” Karma asked.
“Yes. What about him?” Landon’s eyebrow was still quirked.
“I think I saw him in church today.”
“What? Saw? But you can’t see the Otherworld without the Sight, can you?” The raven-haired mouse was baffled. His face made it clear.
“I know, but I saw him.” Karma inquired. Landon sighed.
“I don’t know if I should believe you.” After Landon’s last word, the orange-haired mouse shrugged and left. He now had a long break and decided to head to church. It was usually empty right now and it was a perfect time to confirm if the mouse he saw before was Archangel Michael or not. Though, Karma wasn’t even certain he’d find anyone there.

He pushed open the doors, stepping into the heavily-decorated church building once again. Untying the knot that held his eyepatch in place, Karma wasn’t mistaken. There, at the altar, was the same tall mouse with tousled hair of gold. The silk wrapped around the pale-furred mouse’s body was flowing and writhing, as if alive. A brilliant, spiky halo of gold floated around his head with a white veil hanging from it. Soft, large wings were spread open from the mouse’s back. Karma took a few hesitant steps forward, the angel was emitting a blinding light. How didn’t anyone see this?

“Who… are you?” The orange-haired mouse’s voice felt weak in the angel’s presence.
“Oh… do you really not know?” he said and moved aside smoothly, as if floating across the floor. After the angel relocated himself a bit to the left, Karma could see the stained glass mosaic clearly. The mice he now saw were identical, keeping the same pose which consisted of standing with your paws crossed over your chest with your back turned to everybody. “I am the Archangel, Michael.” Despite being turned away from Karma, Michael’s voice was clear and echoed through the church,
“I thought as much.” Karma mumbled.
“What do you want, little lamb?” The male mouse twitched.
“What did you just call me?”
“Little lamb.” The angel repeated, a tad more persistently.
“Listen, I don’t know if that’s supposed to be some sort of insult but I don’t like being called “little” anything, let alone a lamb.” There was a distinct dislike in Karma’s tone.
“You are the lambs of God, and I refer to you as such. I will only call you by your real name if you were to contract with me.”
“Okay, whatever. But… contract?” Karma quirked his eyebrow quizzically. “What do those include?”
“When you contract with an Otherworld creature you will receive access to their powers, protection and weapons. You will also receive protection against the children or darkness or… angels, depending on which side you choose.” Michael answered, his voice returning to the usual monotone state.
“And how do you… seal those contracts?” The mouse boy continued to ask questions.
“To seal a contract with an angel, you need to write and recite a Latin poem replacing all names with the angel’s name. To contract with a child of darkness… well, no. I will not speak of it in church.” The angel made a slight movement with his head that could’ve been considered as him shaking his head. Karma sneered.
“Pah, only a fool would contract an Otherworld. A very, very ambitious fool.”
“Watch your mouth, lamb. One day I will see you with one of them on a leash. Though… I doubt it’d be one of us. Because, you are… kin. With one of the children of darkness. It is your destiny.”
“Kin? Destiny? Really?”
“I don’t make the rules for destiny. Azrael does. Complain to him instead.” With a sweep of his arm, Michael wrapped the silk around himself and crossed his arms over his chest again. Even if you couldn’t see it, you could feel that his face bore an expression of remorse.
“Go, lamb. Go.”
