CHAPTER 103
Jaida felt like fainting. The rush of blood to her head was making her dizzy, and she knew her face probably resembled a tomato right now. She was blushing like mad, but no one could really blame her.
"H-he does not," she stated, trying to convince Nero that he was wrong. "He couldn't. I'm human." She suddenly felt a bit disappointed as she continued. "He could never love me."
"My, my," began Nero playfully, a very impish smile on his face. "Was

The angel spread his wings, flexing them just a bit as he shifted Jaida once more. He watched in fascination as Nero, broken and bandaged, did the same. The Deslyan was bold, that was for sure."Follow me if you want," said Lucius, "but before Arius returns, both of you will die. I'll make sure of it." And with that said, he took off, and Nero followed shortly after. He had to keep the angel busy until Arius got back. He couldn't let Jaida die, even if it meant that he would be killed by Lucius. It didn't really matter anyway. Either he'd die by the hands of the angel or Arius would kill him personally. His life was more or less
A Chance Encounter CHAPTER 105
Apparently Lucius had picked a rather unpopulated area, one full of buildings in need of renovation. Some were commissioned to become apartment complexes, others factories. Some were just going to get knocked down. It made Arius wonder why the angel had picked such a place. Lucius often liked tormenting the human race. Why pick a place where there was literally no one? He began to feel a sense of impending terror. He knew he wasn't going to like what he'd see. He was praying that he was wrong, that Nero and Jaida were safe and sound back at her house. However, he already knew that was impossible.Pain seared through Nero's right

Arius was on his knees, his hands placed firmly against his throbbing head. His eyes were closed in hopes of riding his mind of the illustration before him, but he just couldn't do it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop himself from killing his only real friend, the one girl who meant more to him than anyone. He couldn't save her. He couldn't do anything."Can you feel it yet?" Lucius asked with a smirk. "Can you feel your inside is turning, your body burning? Doesn't this bring back memories?"
A Chance Encounter CHAPTER 107
His eyes slowly opened, the darkness fading from their corners. However, what he saw made him wish he hadn't woken up. Everywhere around him things were burning. He could feel the heat of the flames nicking at his tender skin and feathered wings. Everything hurt, and his head was pounding. It felt like he had just been hit by a truck. He couldn't remember what had happened. Everything was so blurry.He slowly got to his feet, his small hands

Currently, he was simply floating high above the forestry below. He was searching the sky for any sign of an angel. He wasn't sure what to expect. If the angel were to stay in the same area, he'd be able to sense him. However, either the angel wasn't even there or he was too busy moving around to let Arius sense him. This one was obviously going to be a challenge. No angel had ever stayed out of his sights for this long. Missions barely ever took longer than a week. This one had already breached that limit.
A Chance Encounter CHAPTER 109
"Damn him," Arius cursed softly, looking around for the angel he so wanted to destroy. He was getting sick of all the games, of all the times Lucius had only been "playing" with him. The angel had to die this time. It was as simple as that."Looking for me?" questioned a sickeningly sweet voice. It was one that he could never forget. He'd know that voice anywhere. Arius slowly turned around and came face to face w

Twelve years. Twelve long, agonizing years, and now it was all going to be for nothing. As Arius watched his beloved keystone shatter into an unimaginable amount of pieces, he knew that Lucius had won. There was no way out of it this time. The gate wasn't about to open for him like it had two years ago. No one would be able to stop the cataclysm that was to follow, not even the one causing it. Arius was a victim of his own magic, of the power living inside him. This was really it. He was finally losing control.In a matter of a split
A Chance Encounter CHAPTER 111
Jaida took off running, heading right for Arius. She was dodging, swerving out of the way of as many magic tendrils as she could. She wanted to use her barrier as little as she had to, but the closer she got to Arius, the more magic there was emanating from him. Pretty soon the barrier would be in full force. She was going to have to step this up a notch. If ever there was a time where her years spent on the track team could make a difference, it was now. Speed was of the essence here. She had to push herself harder and faster if she was going to make it to Arius in time.Jaida began pumping her legs harder than she could ever remember. Her muscles began aching, pleading for her to slow her pace. The winds were blowing so hard that she had slowed to half of her sprint by now. Her barrier was also going up continuously since she was closing in on Arius. She had to do this quickly. She'd only get one shot. It was all or nothing now, so she began pushing her legs h
