Chereads / Angel System / The Lord's Hall - Prologue 2

The Lord's Hall - Prologue 2

Jonathan reconsidered their course of actions, They didn't want to offend the creator… They nodded to themselves although reluctant, offending the creator is the last thing they would ever want to do. Grand of course knew this and only imparted these words to convince Jonathan to leave the great angels alone.

Mourn could only sigh from the sidelines, he greeted the two grand angels who seemed to have overcome their brief bout of embarrassment, both of the two grand angels responded with gentle smiles and bowing their heads once more to Mourn before they themselves opened the door for him and jonathan.

Mourn watched, Gorge and Susan head over to the door and instead of just simply pushing it open like Grand they bowed their head to its presence and clasped their hands together. They then muttered a few words and from the head of the doorway a gigantic eye which was originally closed opened.

The eye looked around the room rapidly, its pupil had what looked like random circles in a cluster rotating rapidly. It then jolted to a stop and focused on the two great angels and then looked at the two seraphs. It closed its eye, a rustic crust already forming where the eyelids were broken.

From the sides of the eye a white line shot out and touched gears from the side, the gears overlapped each other and didn't look connected to each other at all. Instead they all were moved by some of the white energy that flowed like a rapid stream of water up the wall where the gears slowly started to disperse to form an elegant pattern.

The elegant pattern led back down to the door's front where it slowly began to swing it self open, The room was packed fill, the number of angels flying around could be numbered in the hundreds and the beasts that stood on two legs or stood on four couldn't even be told different from similar like angel/beast hybrids that were in the room which were thousands.

The seraph's entered the room followed by respective grand angels, the only exception to this rule was Jonathan who didn't have a grand angel to follow him. Gorge had gone after Mourn who had a train of grand angels with pure white wings following him only a few of them had different colored wings. Susan had gone after Grand who also had a respective train of grand angels, their wings unique in every way shape of form.

Jonathan saw other seraphs begin to approach through the crowds.

Grand, Mourn, and Jonathan paths soon converged as they made their way through the crowd to a throne at the end. A gigantic pathway opened up for each of them which opened into a clearing where a single throne was.

An old man with a great white beard that flowed down his chest and to his gut sat there, the only thing that made this old man different was that around him there were only a few people out of the crowd that numbered in the thousands. The throne behind him had six wings, with twain it covered the sky and mountains, with twain it covered earth, with twain it covered seas.

Jonathan took off their cape and discarded it to the side into the hands of a trustworthy grand angel who couldn't follow their respective leaders to the old man who sat on his great throne. One by one the seraphs made their way to the throne, One by one did they kneel down and extend their wings.

"Lord." Each seraph when knelt with twain covered their forehead and then looked up.

"Lord." Grant spoke with reverence in his voice,

"Lord." Mourn spoke with a deep voice, his voice mimicked that of Grant's.

"Lord…." The list went on until it reached Jonathan, Who began to spread their wings out. Half of the bottom of their wings was a beautiful red with the upper feathers becoming an even more beautiful white.

Jonathan knelt, and didn't dare to look up. With two of their wings did they cover their forehead and then looked up while removing their wings into the loving eyes of their lord.

"Lord.", The Lord, the old man smiled at jonathan. They gently raised their unshaking hand and placed it on the head of each of these 12 seraphs. No one knew when the lord stood up but each seraph could visibly see the lord appear in front of them and pat them on their head. He ended on jonathan and then walked back to his throne.

The crowd of people had also knelt down in unison, they didn't say anything and only held their head down as if they waited for something.

The Lord took his seat, The Door then opened.

A man? A Woman? It was another adgreynous. Their massive breasts were exposed and drooped down like teardrops from their chest, they had a masculine face but their body was that of a woman. They wore nothing except for the flames that sprouted from their skin and covered their body like a second skin.

Their eyes were closed tightly. They made their way through the crowd, a large gap was made for the flaming man to walk through. She finally reached the seraph's where it only stared at the lord.

"You're late." The lord's voice reverberated through the room, it wasn't strict and it wasn't angry. It was calm and serene, a melody played softly on the ears and made everyone in the room relax by two times.

"Am I late too!?" Another loud voice reverberated through the room, it was loud burly and the speaker was also calm and serene like the lord, however his voice didn't have the same impact.

Jonathan's eyes, darted from the lord and 'sun' to the burly minotaur who had entered the room. He had ring piercings on his lips and horns, that instead of curving up like a cow's curved down and around his jaw like a mouth guard. What was most noticeable about this minotaur was the great ax in its hand and the pure white fur coat it had which accompanied with its bare chest and bottom white robes that only covered the hooves to the hips of the minotaur.

"No." A second person appeared behind the minotaur, A feminine voice which evoked passion into the animals in the room. A naked woman entered the room, she had a narrow waist and large rear end. What was most odd about this naked woman were her pearly white eyes.

Soon two more late comers entered after these two, an avion man with a bird face and flaming wings on his back with a top hat and a red suit. Another man with red and blue gills on the side of his head with a fedora and a red and blue striped suit.

Jonathan immediately recognized each person who entered the room, They were the closest to the lord. However, he found their sudden appearance as quite odd; usually the lord's companions were the closest to the lord even arriving here ahead of time before the lord had even sent out invitations.

'Sun' took the front followed by the woman who was 'Moon', The minotaur was named 'Greater Animal' while the avion was named 'Phoenix', the last man who entered was called 'Hydra'. They all followed 'Sun' however this all was too weird to Jonathan.

'They should've reached here hours before the syraph's…' Jonathan was increasingly getting more worried; he took a glance at the expression of Grand and Mourn to find that they were not worried in the slightest. However, as he continued his glance he could see that all the other seraph's had expressions similar to his.

"What is the meaning of this?" The Lord asked slowly, his voice was still melodic however it's calmness and tranquility was gone.

"What do you mean? We are all doing something that should've been done centuries ago." 'Sun' Replied with a plain sounding voice.

"GUhaha HA!" 'Greater Animal' laughed loudly and suddenly went in front of 'Sun' and 'Moon' who calmly moved to the side to allow the towering beast passage. Once 'Greater Animal' reached the front he pointed his finger at the lord and began to shout.

"Kill them all! Do not let a single one of them escape!" The world went silent, the lord that stood on his throne seemed to have paused mid-sentence his eyes wide. Jonathan observed the lord's face and saw that he looked all around the room rapidly.

"Stop!" The Lord roared, however an even greater roar was heard. Hundreds of angels that were within the crowd suddenly were attacked by the beasts and hybrids in the crowd, Jonathan turned and could even recognize that some angels were actually aiding in the massacre.

Angels shot out their holy arts against the beasts, The beast themselves roared in pain but were quickly healed by the traitorous angels who then shot out their own holy arts against their own kind.

Explosions and the clattering of weapons sounded across the lords hall, Jonathan flapped their wings and immediately went airborne dodging a streak of white light sent by an angel behind him. They retaliated, swinging their fist back, a white and black flame appeared over their fist and then launched itself to the angel at high speeds.

The angel didn't even have time to react as it hit his chest, The fire burned a bloody gigantic hole through their chest and out the back. The white and black flame then dispersed after hitting the angel leaving only a red flame. The angel then flopped forward like a broken doll, their grand wings were being burnt by the red flame while they fell until they simply turned into ash consumed by the red flame.

They then turned toward 'Greater Animal' and raised their fist but stopped, Grand and Mourn stood directly in front of Jonathan both of them had steely expressions.

Sudden realization attacked Jonathan "W-What are you guys doing?"

Grand said nothing, but mourn waited for a second before saying "We are doing what should've been done a long time ago."

"I-I don't understand, what do you mean?" Little drops of tears were forming on the corner of Jonathan's eyes.

"You don't need to understand! yet... Just… Just for now join us and we will tell you later." Mourn revealed a slightly desperate expression, he knew what was happening and he also knew about Jonathan's personality.

Jonathan really was young, very young. They had just joined the seraph's after a relatively short lifetime of serving the lord's every single whim and mission. Jonathan could actually say that they've done the most missions for the lord proving his loyalty and divine respect and admiration he had for the lord.

Jonathan didn't understand, they couldn't understand who would want to attack the lord and while attacking the lord wipe out all angels supporting him? Jonathan couldn't help but to look over into the crowd and see as an angel got shot out of the sky plummeting to the ground, their hands desperately clawed the air but soon enough a monster caught the angel and ended their suffering by pulling them apart.

The same scene repeated all over the place, angels being ripped apart this even included some of the seraph's who fought back as soon as the battle occurred.

"Enough!" Jonathan's train of thought was interrupted by a booming voice, "It's clear that she's staying with him, no use in convincing her." The minotaur loudly proclaimed.

Jonathan suddenly blinked their eyes and realized that he had floated himself in front of the lord subconsciously like a protector. Jonathan then blinked once more and saw 'Greater Animal' roar into the air and begin charging toward Jonathan.

Jonathan looked at this attack and scoffed, they clearly recognized that 'Greater Animal' was not even using any magic in this charge. They quickly thought of a quick counter attack.

He quickly circulated all of their holy magic in front of them like a bullet, and quickly formed small flaming black and white claws on their hands. They then gathered a minute amount of holy magic at their feet and shot forward in the air like a spear.

After reaching half way in front of 'Greater Animal', 'Greater Animal' waved his arm and conjured a great tower shield in front of him. Jonathan immediately recognized that the 'great tower shield' had mana that was lesser than their own so they continued charging.

The tower shield and jonathan collided, a massive wave of energy immediately dispersing out into the air. The flames tore against the tower shield and quickly consumed it boring a hole into it within seconds. Jonathan felt a smile on their face, if they could take out 'Greater Animal' perhaps they could buy enough time to save their lord.

But what they met on the other side of the shield completely surprised them, 'Greater Animal' Swung up his great ax vertically swatting away jonathan like a baseball up in the air and then while jonathan was in the air drew a curve with his ax slamming jonathan on to the ground behind him. A huge shockwave echoed throughout the throne room as a huge creator was created beneath jonathan.

Their skin had not been broken, however they felt the pain in their bones and in their internal organs. They slowly began to roll over and they did so successfully.

"Look at this lord, This is what you call a seraph?!" 'Greater Animal' slowly walked next to Jonathan and kicked them, causing them to fly into the air like a ragdoll twisting and turning over and over until they landed right in front of the lord's pedestal.

Jonathan was only steps away from the lord, they raised their hand as if pleading for help.

"Even when they beg for your help. You can't move." 'Greater Animal' walked over to the lord's pedestal and stamped directly on the back of Jonathan, Jonathan began to scream out loudly they felt their back break.

"Wait hold on, You can't move can you?" 'Greater Animal' continued, he grabbed Jonathan's purple hair and began holding them in front of the lord, he then gripped on tightly to Jonathan's wing.

"Tell them the truth, Lord, you can't move, you can't help them, you're just a puppet." The lord stayed silent, and the grin on 'Greater Animal' face grew.

"Wait no!" Jonathan was holding on to their long hair when they felt the cold hand of 'Greater Animal' begin tugging on their wings "Please! Wait no! PLEASE!"

'Greater Animal' smirked, and then pulled.

"AHHHHHH!" Jonathan's scream echoed throughout the lord's hall.
