"Azrael? Are you serious? What has capturing an archangel got to do with rescuing Dantalis?"
"It's simple we need knowledge Raziel can tell us how to get Dantalis out of heaven."
"So why are we going after Azrael?"
"Because Raziel disappeared twenty years ago and no one has heard from him since but the only one that will know is Azrael who is his sworn brother."
It made sense so to save Dantalis we first had to capture an archangel then somehow get him to reveal the location of Raziel. I laughed to myself cause that didn't sound like an impossible task.
Kail stopped at an archway decorated with angelic runes.
"Are you ready?"
I didn't answer how could anyone be ready to capture an archangel they were arch's for a reason they were fuck off powerful.
I sighed
standing here thinking isn't helping Dantalis at all I have to do what I can to save him even if I don't understand the reason yet. Stirring myself I nodded
"I'm ready."
—————
Crouched behind a building we watched as an angel with Ocean green coloured wings observed his target, Kail beside me leaned in to whisper in my ear.
"We need to get him alone."
I nodded our target was on the move silently we followed him waiting for our moment. Rounding the corner he made his way down a side ally, this was our chance.
Weapons in hand I entered the ally
The angel before me spun around startled.
"who are you?"
His eyes reached my weapons then travelled to my wings
"wings of fire but unpledged what do you want of me?"
Kail landed behind him turning his eyes widened
"Kailion,"
Realisation entered his eyes as he turned back to me
"Reece? Reece Valour?"
I faltered at the mention of my name
"you know me?"
"of corse I do by now everyone in heaven does daughter of Gabriel and Sariel Michael has everyone out looking for you."
"Well you have found me but to bad for you you wont be able to tell anyone."
his eyes widened
"so it is true you will bring about the war after a millennia of peace do you not realise what you are doing."
"I know exactly what im doing"
I raised my hand drawing an angelic rune in the air then grabbing it I pushed it to the ground as the air froze with a seal.
The seals protect everyone and everything within them in casting a seal an entire amry could rage against each other and no would be the wiser nor would anything be destroyed or harmed. A little bonus they also concealed our presence on earth.
Springing forward I brought my sword down narrowly missing his head as he blocked my swing with his own. I lifted my clawed hand aiming for his side, he used his left hand to grab my wrist.
Pushing away from him he swung his sword I used my wings as a shield solidifying them in front of me causing his sword to bounce back.
His surprise gave Kail the opening he needed as he flew down from the building above but Azrael was quick.
Lighting fast he turned and blocked the attack sending a burst of angel fire towards Kail. I attacked from behind summoning another sword he blocked my attack. Now with two swords he smiled as his wings brightened with power.
"You should not have tried this Reece Valour."
I looked to Kail he lunged I followed a second after Azrael pierced the ground both swords crossed as lightning ran up the blades his wings sent out a flash as lighting that hit both me and Kail in the chest.
Shocked and in pain i turned to see Kail unconscious. Azrael calmly pick up his sword sending one back he held the remaining sword to my throat.
"It seems you have failed though you are strong i will give you that as you can see,"
He nodded towards Kails still body
"Most get knocked out with that move."
I tried to move but it was like the lightening had taking away the ability.
I gritted my teeth
"Go ahead and kill me but release Dantalis."
He laughed
"Is that what this is all about?"
His shoulders shook as he laughed louder
"That cursed retch is even now being punished for letting you live."
He knelt down til he was mere inches from me
"I was told he hasn't made a sound even after all the pain Michael has inflicted on him."
His words were all it took instantly the lighting left my body my wings glowed with power red angelfire erupted from my body throwing Azrael away. In a flash i forced him into the side of the building my clawed blades imbedded in his shoulder holding him in place. The look of fear was not enough to stop the anger flowing through me.
"Give back Dantalis NOW!"
I stabbed my sword into his side as my body burned with angel fire burning him aswell.
"Reece STOP!"
Turning i hissed at Kail baring my fangs.
I turned the blade as Azrael screamed the angelfire burning his insides.
Kail grabbed my arm swearing as he was burned.
"Your gonna kill him we need him alive."
I didn't listen I was beyond words my anger fuelling my actions.
"Reece you must listen he's the only one that can help us find Raziel you want Dantalis back don't you?"
Slowly I turned back to face him the mention of Dantalis made me realise what I was doing I looked down at the sword in Azraels side. Looking to his face the fear in his eyes I stepped away pulling my sword out shocked at what I'd done.
Kail knocked him unconscious to wounded to fight he fell to the ground. I looked at my hands the angelfire was gone all that was left was Azraels blood.
I stared at Azraels body
"What have I done? I couldn't stop it the power was too strong I couldn't control it."
Kail took me in his arms to shocked to push him away I let him hold me as I trembled with exhaustion from the power that I had wielded. He stroked my hair
"It's alright don't worry you will learn to control it. I'll help you, it's gonna be alright."
I wish I believed him.
"Come on we gotta get him back and you as well before anyone else finds us here."
I nodded still shaken but he was right the longer we stayed here the more we risked being found out.
"What if he wakes up on the way back."
"he won't I have have already used my power to keep him under."
I nodded as he picked up Azraels body and together we made our way back to the underworld.
