If the only one who can kill an angel can__ do it, then who can?_ It__ a good question, one that takes me a minute to come up with an answer. __badiah West can. Him and his freedom fighters. I__ just a teenager.___istory is filled with teenagers who lead the fight. Joan of Arc. Okita Soji, the samurai. Alexander the Great. They were all teenagers when they began leading their armies.

I ignored him, concentrating on Lilith. "According to the stories, after you were expelled from Eden you went down into Hell, where you coupled with demons and gave birth to all the monsters that have plagued the world.""I was young," said Lilith. "You know how it is. We all do things we later regret, when we're being rebellious teenagers.

Education these days is making youths suffer like mental patients, but no one has anything to say about it because there is no other option to be given.
