As they breached the surface, I grabbed a fallen by her wings and ripped her from the ground. Yanking her wings off in the process. Short sword in hand I plunged it into her belly and easily sliced her in two. Moving faster than any eye could see, I paved a bloody path through them. My sword an extension of my arm I met sword with sword the clanging of steel meeting steel. My sword cutting a path through them. Not one was fast enough or strong enough to take me on. I had trained these fallen I knew each and every one. Destroying them was breaking my heart, what choice did they give me? They had chosen this, they would kill Jesus, Mary, and Seira. Who were all but powerless. My brother didn’t have all his powers to defend them from this horde of fallen. No, I had to protect my brother. I needed to get to him fast and get them home. These thoughts fueled my anger towards them. Whipping out my wings instinct took over with my sword in hand, my wings razor-sharp primaries slid and ripped
And with that, I continued to move forward, making my way to my brother and his family. Nothing was going to stop me from getting to them. We continued on foot for another seven hours through the dense forest. I followed my brothers' energy to the mountain. They were definitely inside this mountain. No openings on the bottom, I scanned the mountain looking for an opening and what do you know found one. Not very big but I bet I’d be able to fit through it my wings may be a problem. Caught up in my own thoughts, Michael’s voice broke through. ‘How do you know they’re there?.’ I looked his way and said ‘ Mother told me that as long my feet touch the earth I’d be able to sense him.’ ‘Hmm... another test from your parents? 'I nodded, ‘shall we, Michael?’ I gestured towards the mountain. I pointed towards the opening and started to climb up the steep mountain, Michael not far from me. How did Jesus ever get Mary up here? I thought to myself this climb is far too steep barely any space fo
We walked to the back of the cave. I sensed Jesus and Mary before I saw them. I illuminated the cave and looked upon my twins' face. Oh, how I missed him so much. I ran the rest of the way and embraced him. He towered over me and kissed the top of my head. He pulled me away and looked me in my eyes. His eyes changed from the dull dark brown to his actual eye color gold. I could tell my eyes mirrored his. His dark, dull complexion started to fade and was replaced by tan skin that glowed. His shoulder-length dark brown hair grew and turned to coal-black like mine. He raised another seven inches in length. His body went from looking like he was on the brink of death and starved to lean well muscled. He looked like a god. And what a sight he was to see how I missed him so much. He stood before me as he did back at home. I felt his happiness and relief that I finally made it to him. His powers were fully restored in my presence. And I could feel mine leaving me. I didn’t care I did what I
I looked over toward Mary, who just stared at my brother in the true form she was in awe of him. I smiled at her and made my way to her, her belly still swollen with babe. ‘May I?’ I asked Mary gesturing to touch her belly. She smiled, shyly, and nodded. I placed my hand on her stomach. My niece kicked at my touch. I smiled, my hand started to glow very brightly my connection to my niece was strong. We would have been close. I’m sure of it. She knew I loved her very much. I looked at Mary and said to her, ‘she’s ready and eager to meet us.’ My brother and Michael flanked me on both sides. Each placing a hand on Mary’s very swollen belly. ‘Come daughter.’ My twin beckoned to his daughter. Michael’s hand brushed mine. I looked at him and smiled a sad smile. I pushed my thoughts into his head.'I'll never watch her grow, never be able to teach her how to harness her full potential, never be able to feel her warmth again. Why is this hard already, Michael? Why does it hurt to say goodby
Seria didn’t cry, she cooed in her mother’s arms. Wrapped in a blanket of magick that kept her warm or cold depending on what she wanted. She had her father’s eyes gold, small chestnut curls graced her head. Her skin a beautiful caramel color with a golden glow. She was absolutely perfect. I looked at my twin, I could feel the love and joy radiate from him. I looked at Michael, he nodded my way it was time for them to go home. I got to meet my perfect baby niece. Mary looked at me and mouthed ‘thank you’ I smiled back at her and said: “ don’t thank me yet.” I spoke to my twin. ‘Jesus,’ ‘ I know it’s time, sister. We’ll be watching you. But before I leave you, I have a gift to bestow on you too. I give you the gift of death and rebirth. When you die, all your human guardians will die with you and be reborn with you. Your angels and fallen will reawaken you on your sixteenth year of life.’ Looking confused at my twin, ‘why would you gift me with death, I am a god I cannot die!’ ‘Sister
I turned to Michael, “ We should rest here, I’m tired Michael I used the last of ……” My vision was going in and out. My knees buckled, and I collapsed. There was no hard impact I knew Michael had caught me. I drifted into unconsciousness. I awoke to find that my wings had cocooned around me. I stretched my wings. They expanded from one end of the cave to the other. I opened my eyes to see the sun was setting and Michaels silhouette at the entrance of the cave. “How long was I asleep for?” “ You’ve been asleep for a fortnight. The amount of power you used took a toll on us both.” “ I knew we were connected, although I didn’t know to the extent of our bond. I will be more careful when I use my power to not drain you too. I couldn’t separate them, Michael. It was worth it. It seems like this new soul is going to be a curse. Emotions over-road my logic to save my energy and power. ” “ Yes it seems it has Little Goddess. So what do we do now?” “ I guess there’s not much we can do now tha
Laying in my bed, my eyes felt heavy from our day of training, searching for my other guardians. Every limb felt heavy and sore. My shoulders are on fire from pushing myself too hard. My wings didn’t feel as heavy anymore. I was getting used to them now. Still, I wish I could just blink like I used to. But apparently, that’s a power I get back after I find my generals or at least my lieutenant generals. This was harder than I thought it was going to be. If it weren’t for Michael teaching me how to control and use what little power I had, I’d be lost. I felt fragile, weak, I felt very much human. My senses dulled by the lack of power flowing through me. I’m still stronger than 100 men. But as far as gods go, I was a newborn babe. Ughhhhhhhh why can’t I just fall to sleep? Where was Michael? I’d become dependent on Michael, he is my calm. I feel safer when he’s around he puts my fried nerves at ease. I started to finally drift off to sleep my thoughts going mute. That’s when I felt i
I hit the ground with a hard thud. My head bounced off the ground. The wood floors beneath me didn’t budge. I had the good sense to put my wings away, or they would’ve been damaged. I tried to get up but couldn’t, the power that brought me here was still weighing me down trapping me to the ground. Again I called for Michael this time out loud screaming his name. I used what power I had to fight back the power again. I had managed to get up still fighting the pressure of the power that brought me here. I heard a chuckle I immediately looked to my left and manifested my sword. No one was there, I heard the laugh again this time behind me I turn quickly back no one there. Feeling like I was being weighed down. My eyes have now adjusted to the dark. I was in a bedroom. A huge bedroom. I study the room the four-post bed was the only thing I could see. Distracted my reaction too late to the presence behind me. Whoever it is isn’t human, no human could move that fast. I sniffed the air.
