Song of the Fallen

She landed upon the barren field with exalted grace, her descent likely sensed by the demons within the area. As a stealthy approach proved nigh impossible, Lorelei scanned the perimeter for any signs of activity. She was no fool to believe that her mission was just a mere coincidence. Her brethren had voiced their outcry upon learning Lorelei had spared a spawn of their fallen brother, Lucifer. This was a test. If she failed to intercept and impede the advances of the demon prince's army... even Lorelei, an archangel, would be subject to punishment of reformation.
Without further delay, the angel advanced forward and unfurled her light like a blanket across the field. Should even the smallest of wild borne animals so much as breathe, Lorelei would be able to sense it. 
In truth, she had been looking forward to the day she would encounter the demon Kieren again. For combat or another simple "chat," Lorelei welcomed any form of interaction. Perhaps it was his demonic charm attempting to pry its way into Lorelei's head, but nevertheless there seemed to be kind of... thrill in knowledge she would face one of Heaven's most wanted once more. It's your desire to repent, Lorelei assured herself. It is not because you have grown fond of the demon. Never forget that.
After continuing her sweep of the barren wasteland and finding almost nothing in her path, Lorelei came to an abrupt halt as she felt the slightest disturbance upon the edge of her veil of light. It was small yet quick; it could easily be mistaken for a bird. It's inclined target, however, was all the more obvious as to whom her pursuant was...
With speed and fluidity far too fast for the human eye to see, Lorelei spun on the spot, spear held high, and was instantly met face to face with the commander-in-chief himself: Kieren.
