The trip to the first world was taking a toll on the bodies of the angels. The spatial turbulence affecting their bodies. Nothing too serious but a need to vomit would often arise.
After what felt like an eternity to Hannah, she felt the familiarity of her feet touching solid ground. She opened her eyes to look around and found herself in what looked like a forest.
"Where are we?"
**********
(Hannah POV)
I was looking around when I felt someone tap my shoulder.
My sister was looking at me. She carried a large black and gold bow on her back while she was still wearing her robe from the ceremony.
The bow was definitely not there before.
"I think Kyle needs some help."
she pointed upwards and I saw Kyle was hanging on a tree branch. He was high above the ground with his eyes closed. Something big was on his back but that wasn't my main concern.
I tried to jump and managed to grab Kyle's hair. Then with a tug, I managed to help him come down. He landed on the ground heavily on his backside causing some small leaves to flutter.
He was now massaging his head and was trying to get up but stumbled under the weight of the thing on his back.
Kyle looked towards me with a hurt look and I had to apologise but he asked where we were and I wasn't sure of how to answer that. I asked if I could look at the thing on Kyle's back closer and he allowed me, turning his back towards me and picking a few leaves from his hair.
It seemed to be nighttime since I couldn't see too well and it was dark. What I found on Kyle's back was a large red and black scabbard that had strange red markings, I couldn't identify the markings because of the lack of light. There was a large sword but I was unable to pull it out. Kyle attempted to pull it but he was also unsuccessful.
That was when my sister spoke up.
"Didn't his majesty say that we should talk to that notebook if we had questions?"
{The notebook!}
With this suggestion we all searched our pockets (we were still wearing our robes over our clothes).
Kyle pulled out the notebook from his shirt pocket and flipped the first page over. He then attempted to ask a question.
The notebook started glowing in a golden hue and blue texts appeared on the page.
[what is your question-Jesus]
I immediately asked my question since the other two decided to identify the weapons on their backs. Leaving me with the notebook.
"Where are we currently?"
[You are in the world of Iluk. A world that will come to an end after five years from now-Jesus]
I was trying to think of whether I had heard of this world before but couldn't. I then asked another question.
"What exactly is our mission here?"
[Your mission is to prevent the destruction of this world that will be brought by chaos. I have made a list of objectives you can complete on the last page of this notebook. Also if you want to know more about your wishes that I granted you should check the page before the last-Jesus]
The pages immediately flipped over until it stopped on the page before the last.
[Wishes:
Kyle; sword
Alicia; bow
Hannah; Historian of heroes.]
The abilities looked odd to me and I tried asking the notebook for a detailed summary if possible.
The notebook pages started flipping back to the first few pages and stopped at the third.
[Kyle:(sword)
Dyrnwyn-the sword known to use the power of it's flames to assist those it deems worthy.
Heaven's treasury ID no. 343567]
[Alicia: (bow)
Spiritas-the bow that has the power to command the spirits of the fallen to rise once more as heroic spirits.
Heaven's treasury ID no. 246654]
[Hannah: (Historian of heroes)
Archives- the ability to summon any heroic sprit with the blessing of heaven so long as they are recorded within Heaven's archives.
Ability ID no. 000005]
I had to say the summary was a bit lacking but it gave us the basics. We just didn't know how to use them...
I looked to my sister and saw her attempting to unstrap the bow from her back. Kyle was a little more direct with his approach as he smashed the sword on his back against a tree trunk.
I just watched him hit the trunk, slide down, get back up and repeat.
Nothing interesting after the second time but on his third I definitely heard a creaking noise from the tree.
He also heard it and stopped immediately. He was now scratching his head and just looked at me.
"what did his majesty say?"
I handed him the notebook and he read the page with our wishes.
He nodded his head in acceptance after going through it and handed it to my sister who had given up on unstrapping the bow.
My sister also had the same reaction as Kyle and handed me the notebook.
"Since you had asked for an ability instead of a weapon that's probably why you don't have any physical object on you."
This was Kyle, he was removing his robe.
My sister was doing the same while I was going through the notebook once more.
I flipped to the last page while counting. The notebook had about 130 pages with all of them looking exactly similar.
The last page was blank and remained that way for some time. I was unsure of what to do but I had my sister looking over my shoulder. I tried something random and hoped for the best.
"List of objectives."
Immediately the blue texts appeared on the page forming letters then words and producing a bit of light.
[1.become familiar with your wishes]
[2.escape the (Dark forest) within 7 days, unnoticed]
[3.(complete objectives 1&2 to view)]
[4.(complete objectives 1,2&3 to view)]
At least it worked, I could understand the first objective but not the second. Anyways, it's not really something I had an urge to learn more about.
My sister stepped back and placed her hands on her hip. She was about to say something when Kyle shouted.
"I FINALLY GOT IT OFF!"
