Finally back in my own room the silence was deafening. My thoughts swirled with everything that had happened and everything I had lost.
It had been so long since my mind and body was my own I didn't know what to do with myself. For so long i had been fighting the demon inside me it felt strange to have him gone.
I sighed to myself I needed air I couldn't stand this room any longer.
Getting up I left heading towards the courtyard a crowd had gathered.
"Dantalis!."
Camdahar waved me over pushing everyone out of the way as I made my way to the front.
I held my breath as Raziel was sparring with Phoenix. They faught with fire and blades switching between the two with ease as they attacked and dodged each other's attacks seemingly to be evenly matched.
Phoenixs power had grown so much as had her confidence in that power and herself. She was right she had changed they laughed as they sparred playing with each other in their attacks. I had never seen her smile like that.
I made to turn away maybe It was better if I stayed in my room.
Cam followed me.
"Sorry bro I wasn't thinking."
"It's fine go watch I'm just gonna go back to my room."
He put a hand on my shoulder.
"Don't lock yourself up come on let's go to the training grounds the fallen have taken to sparing with angels of heaven it's hilarious when they loose."
I smiled but there was no honour in it maybe it would be a good idea.
Cam and I left the courtyard and made our way to the training grounds where sure enough Kail was currently sparring with an angel of heaven. Of corse Kail won in a matter of seconds since the angel of heaven was practically powerless.
"Who's next?"
Kail yelled.
I summoned my swords ready to release some of my frustrations and work some of the muscles I hadn't used in months.
"Me."
Kail turned towards me frowning.
"Come on little bro I'm not about to fight a cripple who only just got out of the infirmary."
I stood facing him.
"What's a matter scared this cripple will embarrass you?"
He smiled.
"Not at all just figured you'd need your rest since you let yourself be controlled by a demon."
It was the biggest insult. I gritted my teeth.
"Prepare your weapons Kailion I have not lost to you in the past I do not intend to start now."
He smiled as he prepared circling me a smug smile on his face.
"So how are you going to fare now you don't have Soneillons power to back you up."
"Why don't you hurry up and find out."
He laughed.
"Eager to loose are we little brother?"
He was trying to goade me into attacking early but I will not fall for it. As I circled again.
He attacked swinging is sword. I jumped back stepping as I swiped at his vulnerable belly but he anticipated that changing direction of his sword. Blade clashed against blade.
"You'll have to do better then that danni boi."
I smiled as I summoned my second sword forcing him to jump back powered by his wings. I circled fainted left then went right he went to block my swords I knocked his aside lifting my body up with my wings I kicked off his back forcing him to stumble forward.
He recovered spinning as he reached for my wing I beat them down sending an icy wind towards him throwing him back.
Landing on my feet i slid backwards across the ground looking up smiling as he scowled at me.
"Even weakened your still no match for me."
He growled.
"Why I saved you I'll never know."
Standing up I swung both my swords around.
"Care to try again?"
Kail returned to his feet as he looked past me smiling. As I turned to look however he charged with a surprise attack.
On pure instinct I lifted my hand as white fire exploded out hitting him square in the chest.
"Kail!"
That voice, I turned just as Phoenix ran past me sliding to Kails side as he lay unconscious his chest red raw with severe burns. I looked at my hand, what the hell was that? I couldn't use angel fire.
Something pushed me hard in the chest.
"What the hell Dantalis he saves your life and this is how you repay him."
Phoenix pushed me again til Raziel grabbed her around the waist pulling her back.
"I didn't mean- I don't know what happened."
Raziel put her down standing between us as she tried to get past him to me.
"Phoenix enough Kail needs help go with him to Selaphiel."
She scowled my way before doing as Raziel had suggested.
Raziel turned to me as the crowd dispersed.
"Come with me."
I glared at him I had no desire to follow him anywhere.
"Why would I go any where with you?"
Raziel smiled bitterly.
"Because it appears your part in the prophecy is not yet finished."
What the hell was he talking about? All I did was create angel fire how was it any different to what he or the other arch's did?
We walked in silence as he lead me to the seers room where Michael waited.
Before Either of us could say anything michael sighed.
"When did it happen?"
"Just now."
I stood in silence what the hell was going on? I had been told about everything Michael had done to save both me and Phoenix so I held no ill feelings towards him however since I was no longer an angel of heaven it meant I no longer had to follow his orders.
"Can someone tell me what the hell is happening."
Raziel snapped his head my way.
"Mind your tongue Dantalis."
"Why?"
Both of us stared each other knowing what this was really about.
"Enough both of you!"
Raziel reluctantly bowed his head stepping back.
Satisfied Michael turned to face me
"It seems as a part of the prophecy you have also developed the same power Phoenix has."
I shook my head.
"What? How is that possible?"
Raziel scoffed.
"It seems no matter what we do yours and Phoenixs fate are tied together."
I smiled towards Raziel.
"I'm sure your thrilled to admit that."
"Keep going fledgling and I'll show you what real angel fire looks like."
"Raziel I said enough! We knew that this might happen it means we have an even better chance of defeating the prince of darkness. You should be rejoicing not cursing it."
I turned to Michael.
"How do you know I have the same power it could just be normal angel fire."
Michael smiled.
"Has anything that's happened to you seemed normal?"
I remained silent having no answer.
"Raziel from now on you will train them both."
Both of us instantly protested.
"I'm no fledgling I can handle my own training!."
"I'm not training him!"
Michael scowled at us both.
"Like it or not Dantalis having this power only helps us in this war. so I don't care how you do it but both of you better sort out your issues and work together in this or it could mean the difference between the world being destroyed or it being saved it's up to you."
He left us alone glaring at each other. After what seemed like ages Raziel sighed.
"Look I don't like you and you don't like me we both know why but let's just get though this war. What you do after that is your own business. Training starts early tomorrow in the courtyard."
He made to leave but I grabbed his arm.
"Hurt her and I kill you."
Raziel looked across at me saying nothing as he continued out the door.
Great my life just got a lot more complicated.
