Chapter Text
After weeks of preparation and checking if everything is where it should be, they were finally ready for this. It was crazy for them that it was actually that easy to get materials for this. But the most important part was them. If they weren’t winner or any other kind of angel, it wouldn’t work.
With a deep breath, they placed their own halo in the center of ritual’s sign. After that, the halo expanded, creating small portal.
“Okay, I just have to jump, wings prepared just in case and really, really fast hide my angelic features. It won’t be that hard, right?” They were walking around the room nervously.
“I can handle this! I can always go back if I change mind. Come on, jump!” They motivated themselves and after third try, they actually jumped through the portal.
They didn’t have to use their wings, because they landed on the ground without a problem. As soon as they noticed it and the portal closed, they run to the dark alley.
Thank to their dark coat, no one would see that they’re an angel, but they had to hide all of the features. Silver was a dragonfly winner, so their wings were a mix of angelic and dragonfly’s. With a little of sorcery, they changed them to make them more bug-like. Then they added two sharp fangs to look at least a little more intimidating.
Silver couldn’t add anything more. Their magic was limited. They might be a winner, but they weren’t high in Heaven’s hierarchy actually. But maybe a short hair and eyebags make them look more like demon? At least they hoped that it helped. And they also made halo disappear. In theory, it was still here, but invincible
“Now, where is this hotel?” They asked themselves, flying high enough to see the whole city. Good that they had glasses, otherwise it would be hard for them to see at the distance.
If it wasn’t for the Hazbin Hotel that a lot angels in Heaven were gossiping about, they wouldn’t even think at going down here. They would be too scared to give it a chance. Unless Heaven crossed their patience even more than they did at this point.
After looking for the hotel, they noticed that it’s actually on the edge of the City. They thought that it’s gonna be in the center, so for few minutes they were looking down, not on the sides. It was a really high and big building. For Silver, it was impressive and they liked the design of this.
Being a dragonfly afterlife had it its advantages. Their speed while flying was really high, so they reached the hotel faster than most people with wings would.
When they landed at the doorstep of the hotel, they were confused what to do next. Silver knew that it was a hotel, but should they enter like the hotels on Earth? Or this one has its own rules that they don’t know about?
Then, they noticed a doorbell. With a hesitant move of their hand, they pressed it. After literally five seconds, the door opened and they saw a little bit taller demon than themselves.
“Welcome to the Hazbin Hotel! I’m Charlie Morningstar, the owner of the hotel! How can I help you?” She introduced herself with a huge enthusiasm.
So it was the Princess of Hell? It wasn’t something that they actually expected. She seemed to be like a huge ball of positive energy. Silver thought that they might feel intimidated by her when they’ll meet here, but they felt anything but intimidation from her.
“Um… Hey… I’m Silver Star, but call me Silver. Not Mx. or anything like that needed. But should I call you Princess or…?” Because of how nervous they were, they couldn’t finish the question.
“No, no, no, just call me Charlie. I don’t use the title too much anyway.” She waved with her hand. “So, have you came here to start the journey to redemption?”
“I… uh…”
Silver were thinking if they should tell her. They weren’t the best liar, so it would be hard for them. And they totally forgot to prepare the lie. But, what if they lie and she’ll find out? She is the owner of this hotel and princess of hell. What if she thinks that they’re a spy?
“Alright, I’ll tell you who I am, but promise that you won’t panic and you won’t tell anyone. I just don’t want everyone to know about this.” They stated with a serious tone, looking in her eyes for longer time than they planned.
“Oh, a secret? You can count on me! I won’t tell anyone!” She did a gesture that looked like she was closing her mouth with a key.
“Okay, soooo… Emm…” They lowered their own voice and made the halo appear in their hand. “I’m the, ugh, winner angel. I really hate that name. But anyway, I have my really, really personal reasons to go down here. I can’t say for now why, because well, it’s personal, but I’m not a spy. I discovered that each angel can actually make a portal to Hell. No one, but higher ranks, tried this. In general, I just have my own reasons to be here. I hate Heaven, fuck all of them. But I would never go down here if I didn’t hear about your hotel. That’s why I decided to do this crazy thing. Yes, I know I’m not a sinner, a person that you want to redeem, but I can help. At least I’ll try to help as much as I can. I just need a room and nothing more, really. I don’t want to go back up there.”
Charlie stood here, stunned by what she heard. Silver started to talk really fast during their explanation, but she listened to all of this really carefully. She has noticed the pain in their voice. They haven’t told her the reason, but there was something really bothering them. She felt it.
By Charlie’s own experience with Heaven, she knew that the system was broken and no one wanted to correct and made it better. But she has never, ever expected that a winner, a soul that was judged by hidden standards, would willingly go to Hell.
“Vaggie, what do you think?” Charlie asked, with a quiet tone.
Only then Silver noticed that someone else was standing a little bit further than Charlie. They felt kinda stupid for not noticing her. She was here the whole time!
“There’s no fucking way they’re lying.” She shook her head. “If Heaven wanted to send a spy, they would actually prepare someone. But them? They don’t even have any weapon. Not even a dagger. Which would be stupid in most situations, but only exterminators use angelic weapons, so they didn’t have an access to this. But leaving Heaven by your choice? That’s some crazy shit. What have they done to you?”
Silver really wanted to say something, but they haven’t feel safe enough to talk about it.
“Maybe… I’ll tell you when we know one another more? Unless I’m not welcome here…” They said with a sad tone, holding their tears as hard as they could.
“We haven’t said you’re not! Vaggie, they said that they’re not ready to talk about it, why have you asked?” Charlie gave her girlfriend an irritated look.
“Right… I was an banished exorcist, that’s why I was curious why someone would do it without a force. But Charlie’s right, you said you’re not ready… Sorry about that...” Vaggie looked away.
“We’ll give you a room and everything you need! I’m actually really happy to have someone from Heaven who wants to help Hazbin Hotel! It feels like part of my dream just came true! You’re more than welcome here, Silver!” She gave them a wide, beautiful smile.
“I-Thank youuuuu…” They couldn’t hold tears anymore. They tried to hide it as much as they could.
“Do you need a hug?” Charlie proposed and Silver nodded. “There, there.”
“Welcome to the family of chaotic and crazy people, Silver.” Vaggie smirked and patted their shoulder.
“Come with us, we’ll show you your new room!”
