Vladimir had woke early the next morning and he peeked over at Liam and he was watching the blonde boy sleeping, the rise and the lowering of his shoulders and he muttered, "jeez, talk about an attractive sleeper...." then he quickly shook his head deciding to get out of the cave for a little bit and gather food would clear his mind. As he walked out he noted that the snow was lighter, almost gone and the cold air was still cold as ice. He felt a shiver roll down his spine.
He found a bush with some berries and he bit his lip, he was unsure if the berries were poisonous or not. He decided not to pick them and he moved on and walked to a tree breaking off a branch and he was using the sharp end to use as a spear.
He began to hunt, crouching behind a rock and carefully peeking around it and watching his target, which was three rabbits. The rabbits were sniffing the ground and they quickly sat up and looked around, as if searching for predators.
He calmed his breathing, and then he pounced, he managed to catch 2 of the three. He skinned and harvested and then he began to fish.
Liam was sleeping soundly in the cave and he shifted. His dream showed God sitting on his throne, Zadkiel in the shadows of the throne room with the other archangels. A bad feeling filled him. There was certainly something about this dream.
Vladimir soon returned and he noticed that Liam was tossing and turning. He went to him and he tapped him, "Liam, hey"
Liam shot up and he was looking about and he looked at Vladimir, "we need to train, and talk to your God " he said and he looked to Vladimir.
"Um, how about we eat first, and you fill me in?" Vladimir spoke gently.
Liam looked at him as if he was crazy.
"We don't have time!!" Liam said. Vladimir was watching him.
"Liam please keep in mind your human now, you need to eat" Vladimir spoke carefully.
"Alright, fine" Liam said as he sat down and he was eating. Vladimir sat next to him and was also eating.
"Liam, fill me in. Why do we need to train?" Vladimir questioned as he was sitting next to Liam.
"I have a feeling...Zadkiel is going to move. His plan is beginning" Liam said looking at Vladimir.
"What plan are you talking about exactly?" Vladimir asked as he was watching Liam.
"Zadkiel is going to take over heaven, why do you think he is eliminating angels? He must have followers" Liam spoke to Vladimir.
"True, We should gather people to help us." Vladimir said as he was looking at Liam.
"But who?" Liam asked looking at Vladimir with curiosity sparkling in his eyes. Who would help them? if they talked to humans they would think they were crazy. If they talked to Angels they would shake their heads.
"Satan" Vladimir spoke with a kind of certainty. Would Satan help them? How would Satan help them?
"How would Satan help us?" Liam asked Vladimir. He was uncertain about trusting demons let alone satan to help them.
"He would give us an army maybe even join us." He said as he was watching Liam. He could tell that Liam was uncertain of the situation.
"Why would he do that? What purpose does he have to help Save Heaven?" Liam asked him.
"Satan needs God there. It is like that they are a pair. Two sides to a coin, ya know." Vladimir explained as he stood up, dusting himself off.
"Besides, I don't like being here on earth this long. I like the environment of hell." Vladimir joked to lighten the mood.
Liam thought for a moment and he looked up at Vladimir, remembering something, "hey come sit down I need to finish up that deal so we can train and finally go talk to satan. "
Vladimir without a word sat in front of liam the seal almost gone. Liam tested his hand on the remaining part to the seal his hand beginning to light up and flash. As each symbol began to disappear Vladimir began to feel the strength return. Liam finally removed the final symbol and Vladimir grinned feeling all his power return to him.
"Yes! I'm back baby!" Vladimir yelled happily his demon wings flew out bounding Vladimir up into the air, but he quickly returned to the ground and hid his wings, "sorry liam" he whispered feeling bad for showing his wings to someone who had lost theirs.
"No! Don't be, I would've done the same thing. So I suppose we should begin training." Liam said thinking up what they needed to focus on. Zadkiel was not going to be an easy enemy to defeat. As liam was thinking, Vladimir had sharpened some sticks and dropped one in front of liam, "melee should be first. Remember he has followers and we will probably have to deal with them first, and we better make sure we are ready for everything."
"Yes, but I am sure that the arch angels are working together, which means magic will be used, and powerful magic at that."
"Also true but the arch angels are going to guard zadkiel so their plan will proceed as planned, which means we will be dealing with lackies. "
"Your right, but we need a plan for every scenario, we can't let zadkiel get the best of us in any way"
