Ostrythe and Stacy continue to gaze upon Sandalphon. A dark chill shot through their spines as they started to remember everything that happened before they came back to the village. Stacy came from behind Ostrythe and walked up to Sandalphon with determination in her eyes.
"What just happened was because of you right? You sent us back in time for what? Where is Von?" Stacy questions the Sandalphon trying to figure out what just happened to them. Ostrythe crossed his arms behind and stared at Sandalphon waiting for his response.
"To be completely blunt I just rewind your history. To make sure you guys fully understand what is going on. Do you humans consider this time travel because you keep your memories of the past and present to have hope to change your future? In truth you guys weren't supposed to change anything, instead I was unsealing your seal memories of what you call burning memories." Sandalphon said, disappearing makes Ostrythe and Stacy scan the area for him, but only sense that he was behind sitting underneath a tree.
"So let me get this straight, a burn memory is just a seal memory that we forget our past?" Ostrythe asked, looking at Sandalphon as he scratched his head trying to figure something out.
"That is correct. However the burn memories can be placed as a barrier around somebody for a Divine purpose. In order for that to happen they would have to be a part of the Divine Chain. This burning memory was because of Mimi. These Events had to be covered up due to the fact that Von and Stacy are Mortal enemies." Sandalphon explained that moment Stacy ran in front of Sandalphon with disbelief in her eyes.
"That is not true, what you're saying is a lie... I could never hate him... I only care deeply for Von... So saying that he's my mortal enemy is just crazy not only that but utterly foolish…" Stacy said, tears forming in her eyes like just heard something that she didn't want to hear. Sandalphon got up and stretched out both of his arms. Ostrythe quickly pulled Stacy behind him preparing for what's about to happen next. Sandalphon opened both of his hands and a white flame appeared on his right hand and black flame appeared on the left hand.
"The reason why Stacy and Von are Mortal enemies is because Stacy is Divine spirit and Von is a half Fallen and Half Elemental spirit. To make this easier to understand the way that you humans classify us Divine beings is Angels, Archangel, and Deities. However Fallen spirit is being that broke the oath to the Divine Chain or was banished from the Divine Light. Finally Elemental spirits are beings that were born or have certain negative emotions that manifest into Elemental powers. " Sandalphon explained, the flames in his hands intensified more and more.
"What's the difference between The Divine and The Fallen? Aren't they the same type of beings?" Ostrythe asked, keeping his eye on the flames in Sandalphon's hands.
"You know what the difference is Ostrythe. After all, your Best Friend is a Fallen and you fought him in his Madness form. The Madness is part of the dark curse that is placed upon a fallen. Their wings turn black from the purity of the white because they are tainted with a dark evil. Since they are cast out of the Divine Realm they wander in limbo trying to find a new purpose. However that purpose is created because the Fallen despise humans more than anything." Sandalphon explained, clapping his causing an intense shockwave to change the environment into the Soul Plane.
"So it's safe to assume that this is the limbo you're referring to, right?" Ostrythe asked, seeing the sunset in the east and a Red moon coming from the west.
"Mimi refers to this as the Soul Plane because Souls do wander here as well as the time train flows through here as well. However this is not the only thing, it is the bridge between the realms." Sandalphon said, Ostrythe and Stacy's eyes widened which made Ostrythe look at the Moon and Stacy look at the sunset. Sandalphon started to grin at them because they're unaware of what they were seeing.
"As you know the Divine Realm and the Demon Realm is what is connected to the Soul Plane. Once upon a time all three realms were merged together. But the Divine War happened and the Creator split all Realms up and made the Soul Plane as you see here. All souls wander here until a Guardian or an Archangel comes to deliver the judgment that the Creator made. Not only that the duty of the Time Walkers isn't just to protect the time but to make sure that the Realm never merge again." Sandalphon explained Stacy started to feel a sense of Deja Vu looking around the Soul Plane. Her eyes start to see Soul appearing in the distance from her.
"Why couldn't see them before??" Stacy asked, taking a step closer to Sandalphon.
"That is simple, your powers are awakening." Sandalphon said, crossing his arms and looking at Stacy's Aura that was surrounding her. Ostrythe's eyes opened wide when seeing Von on the ground unconscious. He ran towards Von and saw that his wound was completely gone. Not only that, he saw that the ground was completely turning black.
"Why is Von here!?!" Ostrythe asked, looking at Sandalphon with anger in his eyes. Stacy felt that her legs were weakening and fell onto the floor.
"Von is here to be erased from existence." Sandalphon replied, pulling out a golden sword from thin air slowly. Ostrythe's aura started to swirl around him.
"Before you try to attack me. When I snap my finger Von will awaken, however his madness will take over like before and he will kill everything that he sees." Sandalphon explained preparing to snap his fingers but suddenly Stacy got up slowly with blue Aura swirling around her and hair was slowly turning blue again like before.
"Sandalphon, if I can show that we can keep Von's darkness suppressed, will you think about not killing him?" Stacy asked, her hair covering her face hiding her facial expression from everyone. Ostrythe getting Von and moving out of the way between those two.
"So you're telling me that your Divine purpose is Stacy?" Sandalphon questions, pondering to himself and glaring at her at the same time. Stacy clenches her fist to her chest and looks Sandalphon in the eyes.
"Yes!! I am going to protect Von no matter what happens! Even if I have to become a Fallen to do so!" Stacy yelled, her aura bursting out as she achieved her powers. Standing in front of Sandalphon completely changed like she was before.
"That Blue Hair and that beautiful Aura. Just like your mother…" Sandalphon said, giving a deep breath and putting his sword away. Suddenly His golden aura burst out of him causing Ostrythe to drop Von and fall on the ground as well. But Stacy is still standing in front of Sandalphon unbothered.
"No being can withstand the might of my will. The only ones that can are the Divine Creator himself and An Archangel. You Stacy are the third being that is still standing. If that is your Divine purpose then show me." Sandalphon said, taking off his helmet revealing his face but his aura was shining brighter than before. Ostrythe and Stacy can't make out what his face looks like. However She continues to stand her ground. Sandalphon did one clap with his hands and Stacy's aura began to burst out even more violently. Her wings burst out of her back and it changed color to a sky blue color. Stacy's vision was starting to get blurry and she was starting to lose consciousness.
"I just took the restraints off your powers, awakening your full potential in your first form. With the sudden increase in your powers your body isn't used to this change. So you will have to use all of your power in one attack or you will lose all control of yourself and become a servant to me. So show me how strong your will really is." Sandalphon explained crossing his arms waiting for her to make her attack. Stacy is still trying to maintain his consciousness, holding herself up focusing her attention on Sandalphon.
"I have your word that I can prove my will is as strong as yours that you'll let Von go?" Stacy questions giving him a dead serious facial expression not even blinking. Sandalphon nodded his head in agreement and prepared himself for her attack.
"Don't hold back at all; everything here will be protected by me. So don't worry about Ostrythe or Von. The Souls that are here will not get harmed, it's just me and you give me all what you have. You only get one chance so don't ruin it." Sandalphon orders her to do as he stomps the ground ready to see what she can do. Stacy stretched out her right arm and began channeling her aura to that arm. The aura around her and including the environment was swirling to her hand forming a weapon. Within her hand a bow of Divine Aura is created and she aimed at Sandalphon. As she begins to draw on the bow a bright blue arrow begins to form causing lightning to shoot out around her. Sandalphon gave a smirk at Stacy as she is in a trance giving all she got on this shot.
"Heaven's Arrow!!!" Stacy shouted firing it at him as the arrow started getting bigger as it was coming closer to Sandalphon. He caught it with his hand holding it back but the more he is holding it the bigger the arrow becomes. Suddenly Arrow started to glow brighter then finally an explosion happened everything was engulfed within a super bright light.
"I acknowledge your resolve and will Stacy. As promised I will not kill Von Lyner. I will leave you and Ostrythe in charge of his well being. Remember if Von is a threat the Divine Order will not be so kind to give you another chance like I did. Get stronger and stop the darkness that is trying to destroy your world…" Sandalphon said, with his voice faded away within the light. Suddenly Ostrythe woke up and it was morning. He looked around to see where he was and realized that he was in his bed in his room. He tries to get up but sees that Raven is cuddling up on him. He slowly gets out of bed he sees he has his usual night clothes on. Sweatpants and socks. He pulls the curtains to see he really is back at the dorm in the city. He goes out outside his room and goes down the hall to Von's room and quietly opens his door and peeks inside. Then sees Von sleeping but also sees Stacy there sleeping in a chair by his bedside. Ostrythe grabs extra covers from the hallway closet and covers Stacy with it. Then leaves the room. He went to the kitchen to grab something to eat and saw Favian there in the kitchen eating a bowl of cereal. Mimi was also there with him, so was Jovanna and Veronica.
"Rise and shine sleepy head. Did you have a good sleep?" Favian asked, winking at him but Ostrythe just walked past him shaking his head.
"Well I can say that fighting with the Guardian was no sweet dream in my opinion." Mimi replied with sarcasm in her voice. Ostrythe stopped and turned back and looked at Mimi.
"Mimi, we need to talk then. Since you are aware of what happened." Ostrythe said, turning back and walking to the fridge and opening it up but Mimi had a worried look on her face.
"I am surprised that Apollo didn't tell you yet." Mimi responded as Ostrythe closed the fridge and was drinking a can of juice. Giving Mimi his full attention.
"Jonathan or should I say The Boss is Von's Uncle…" Mimi said, everyone remained silent for a minute.
"Damn…This is going to be a good talk..." Ostrythe said looking up and seeing Stacy Leaning on the way with a smile on her face.
