Fatewrought: Part I

There was a young boy, born October 17th, year unknown. The boy was doomed from birth. His name was Theodor Dohv, born in New York to a Christian family. His mother, Esther, had been raised Jewish, but she had converted as a young woman, for reasons that still made her parents sigh in disappointment. She married Andrew Dohv for his strength and kindness. His strength was just as emotional as it was physical. The two of them vowed that they would raise a family in the teachings of God, with the ideals of fairness and love.
But that was not young Theodore Dohv’s fate. His fate would be much different than what his dear loving mother had intended.
You see, in the hours leading up to any given child’s birth, the realms of Heaven and Hell gather for a meeting. They decide who will look upon the birth of the child, and who will look after the child during his lifetime. They decide the destiny of the child before he can decide on his own. But the realms of Heaven and Hell were confused on this day of October 17th, year unknown. For without the permission or knowledge of either Satan or God, a select few angels had already made way for Theodore’s birthplace. They had made their own decision. This might have infuriated God and Satan both if they had known the child’s fate. But they cared not at the time.
Seven angels of Heaven and seven angels of Hell looked upon Theodore as he was born. This means that Theodore’s fate would forever be torn. He was not claimed by Heaven, nor was he claimed by Hell. He had been claimed by both. This had never happened before, and it would change not only Theodore’s fate, but the fate of Heaven, Hell, and Humanity forever.
Esther Dohv had brown eyes. Andrew Dohv had blue eyes. When he was born, Theodore Dohv had blue eyes. Unbeknownst to Andrew and Esther, all babies have blue eyes immediately after birth. Within a few seconds, one of Theodore’s eyes turned brown. His parents looked on in awe at their child, with two eyes of different colors. But the angels that looked on knew better than to be surprised yet. They felt something else.
Within a few more seconds, Theodore’s other eye, the blue one, changed color as well. It became red. His parents and the doctors and even the angels gasped. His parents gasped in shock. The doctors gasped in confusion. But the angels, the seven Angels of Heaven and the seven Angels of Hell, gasped in fear. Baby Theodore Dohv cried as he breathed his first breaths of life. These tears were natural. But Theodore, Esther, and Andrew did not know that later Theodore would cry very unnatural tears. Unnatural tears indeed. Theodore’s red eye was a warning sign, a sign that only the angels understood, and even they knew little about it. They wondered if God and Satan had seen the child’s red eye. At that moment, the fourteen angels vowed to put forth all effort to protect and watch this mysterious child.
The Seven Angels of Heaven retreated back to their realm in the light. They were Sandalphon, Raphael, Uriel, Iophiel, Azrael, Dobiel, and Kasbeel. They vowed to watch over the young riddle that was Theodore Dohv at all time that a being of Heaven could, which was often.
In dire times, or any lingering moments of temptation or evil, the guardianship of Theodore would become the duty of the seven Angels of Hell who had been present at his birth. Among them were Nelchael, Batriel, Turiel, Yomiel, Phenex, Penemue, and Daniel.
The alliance between this fourteen was among the most difficult celestial alliances in all history. The most difficult part was that such an alliance had never before been attempted.
