GOSPEL was not written linearly. Fragments of as far as the last book linger in my folders, as well as dozens and dozens of related files. Since I'm presenting all my GOSPEL material in this wiki, I might as well show you how GOSPEL was expected to look like in the end. Of course this list is far from definite. The number of chapter would probably grow as I wrote and single chapters turned out too long so they would have to be split. I do that often. True Stories was a monster, a hydra, really. You'll see what I mean very soon.

END OF GOSPEL

Six stories starring Matsuki Takato as he traveled the world gathering allies for the Holy War. These stories were meant to show more about the interactions between the Lower and Supernal Realms, the world of Supernals outside of the Ten Archangels, Takato’s enlightened mentality and philosophy, and consequences of the events of GOSPEL outside Tokyo.
The last chapter is complemented by the last chapter of “Pandemonium Puppet Show”, and together they make a complete short tale starring the twins working together.
Chapter One: Ten Heavily Stems & Twelve Earthly Branches – Mother of Dragons
Chapter Two: Offerings of Blood for the Restoration of Divinity – Mistress of Spiders
Chapter Three: Fatuous Dreams of Child-like Happiness – Scarred Queen
Chapter Four: Of the Price of Knowledge & Power – Avatara of the Axe
Chapter Five: To Protect Those Who Cannot Protect Themselves – Cursed Nymph
Chapter Six: An Icelandic Love Story, Takato Side – Unstoppable Warrior
Six stories starring Matsuki Takako as she gathers minions—that is, “allies”, for the Holy War. It showed the stark contrast between the siblings’ methods: Takako’s bluntness and imposing attitude makes for an interesting contrast with Takato’s almost-annoying capacity to do no wrong. While the boy inflamed the spirits of those he met with heartfelt words and sublime kindness, Takako forcefully shoved the darkness of this world down their throats.
The last chapter is complemented by the last chapter of “Gathering of the Exalted”, and together they make a complete short tale starring the twins working together.
Chapter One: The Ravenous Hunger for Power – Master of the Forge
Chapter Two: The Indescribable Horrors of Supernal Blood – Queen of All Monsters
Chapter Three: Crystalline Delusions of Might – Father of Ireland
Chapter Four: Love & Despair amidst the Unforgiving Sand – Sisters of Death & Rebirth
Chapter Five: The Significance of Virtue in a World of Darkness – Warrior of Misfortune
Chapter Six: An Icelandic Love Story, Takako Side – Shepherd of Heroes
Random stuff I write because why the hell not.
