The night before the third combat class, 41 and 21 were training in the arena. The other Tiscc members went to sleep early to rest for class, 41 has been training intensively since Asphela gave the Diamond Limbo to him, but he still having certain problems. In order to make a melee weapon stronger, the user need to maintain a constant amount of his mana in the weapon, when he tries to do that with the Diamond Limbo, the sword takes his mana and turns into a large torrent of lightning, resulting in the same attack he used against Exoutius in their duel. Sometimes the attack comes directly from the tip of the sword and other times from the sky, he still does not know why. \\
While 41 was training elemental magic with his sword, 21 was training healing spells, two classes in one training. He had certain easiness with the healing part, but an extremely hard time with spells. In the castle library, the cavaliers can take training grimoires with spells for beginners, 21 took one with medical spells so he could train spells of a subject he is good at, it is not showing many good results.\\
After a couple hours in silence, 41 takes his sword and opens the arena's door:\\
—I'm going to sleep. I'm too tired, if I keep training right now, I'm gonna fight like trash in the class.\\
—Ok.\\
—Are you going to stay?\\
21 stared at the grimoire for a few seconds and then closed it.\\
—No, I'm tired too.\\
They walked out of the arena and closed the entrance to the building.\\
—It doesn't keep the mana.\\
—What?\\
—The sword… I doesn't keep the mana.\\
—You need to give more than that…\\
—Whenever I put mana in it, the sword make those attacks I was doing earlier.\\
—I thought you was training making those.\\
—No.\\
—Does it every time?\\
—Every single one of them.\\
…\\
—Maybe is because of the armor.\\
—What do you mean?\\
—You aren't using the Asphela armor. Maybe you need the whole armor to fully control the sword.\\
—Maybe… But like the owner of the armor gave it to me, I don't think that's a problem.\\
…\\
—Asphela really "gave" the sword to you or you made her give it.\\
—I asked once and she agreed. \\
—I think you shouldn't use the sword without the armor, it's kind of weird.\\
—It sucks not having armors, but having only the sword still better than nothing.\\
They were passing through the square lawn, 41 stops and stares to the sky. He sees a moving star and makes a wish.\\
—I wish we could win our armors Today.\\
21 looked back at him and then to the star.\\
—Make a wish too. — 41 says to him.\\
21 keeps staring at the star in the sky.\\
—Is it just me… or that shooting star is getting closer?\\
41 looks at it for a while.\\
—It kind does look like it.\\
They stared at it for a while, when suddenly the night sky lit up in fire as the star entered the atmosphere. The two boys were scared by the vision they witnessed. After falling for a couple of seconds, the thing in the sky started to approach the castle area as if it was aiming at the cavaliers. The boys were paralyzed looking at it. As it was getting closer, the thing started to change its route until it hit the ground in an open area next to the castle, creating a small crater. The two boys followed the path made by the falling star until they reached the walls of the castle.\\
—Should we go there? — 21 thought aloud.\\
—Off course we should. — 41 shouted — A star literally just fell down a few feet from here. We need to go look.\\
—We might get in trouble for getting out of the castle. Saints don't have the permission…\\
—It's not like we are going to run away…\\
—But still…\\
—Maybe there are people in danger there… And I don't see any cavalier around to help those poor people.\\
…\\
—Fine, we go there real quick to see the meteorite and then we come back.\\
21 used 41's hands as a platform and propelled himself over the giant walls, after sending his friend, 41 simply jumped over it. We they got close to the immense crater, they saw something the resembled a person in the middle. 41 immediately jumped in the crater to offer help, a little reluctant, 21 followed him. \\
They dust started to settle, they could see clearly the person laid down on the ground but they could not identify him or his clothes.\\
—What should we do? — 41 asked.\\
—Is he alive? — 21 asked.\\
—I don't know… Where did he came from?\\
—From the sky…\\
—Yea, but how?\\
41 started poking the body with his foot.\\
—Stop. It is disrespectful do this with corpses.\\
—I think he is alive. I think I saw his chest moving.\\
41 kept poking him until his arm fell to the ground and his hand opened, dropping the ring he was holding. When 41 looked to the ring his eyes shinned like they never did before, it was a dark black ring, looking at it was like admiring the darkest night sky. \\
From far, the two saints started to hear someone screaming together with the sound of flapping wings. 21 looked to the castle and saw Raphael, angrily taking flight from the tower closest to them. He arrived and firmly marched towards 41 who was completely charmed by the ring.\\
—41. Get away from him Right Now. — He shouted from inside his armor.\\
The Paladin words did not reached the saint who was almost hypnotized. Raphael, with iron steps, approached 41 and touched him in the shoulder. The ring reacted emanating great light the blinded 21 for a few seconds, when he opened his eyes 41 was still standing there staring at the ring, while Raphael was thrown, and almost buried, in the borders of the crater, 21 ran to help him. When he got close, the paladin was dizzy and slightly blind, he knelt down to help him but when he touched the dark part of Raphael's plate, the whole armor started to shine. When it stopped, became two gems again, one white, in the Paladin's neck, and the other black, that fell on the floor. The black one started to shine strongly to 21, that just like 41, was almost hypnotized. When he was about to touch it, Raphael opened his eyes and quickly grabbed his gem on the ground. The saint and the Paladin stared at each other awkwardly for a couple of seconds when Skael and other Cavaliers appeared in the crater.
A strong light passed through the window of the boy's room slapping Sotíel's eyelids. The cavalier woke up scared and frenetic; he immediately woke Prospounae that did not understand anything he was saying. Moments later, they hear a loud crash coming from a nearby location, Tius and Adam also woke up extremely scared. When they hear the sound, Prospounae and Sotíel invoke their armors and wait for something to happen. The sky was dark blue once again and sounds were no longer heard from outside the room.\\
The door opens, it is 21 and 41 fast entering and closing the door. \\
—What is happening out there? — Prospounae screams and the other cavaliers surround the saints.\\
—A cavalier fell from the sky… — 21 said a little confused and airy.\\
—Were you two still training? Are you okay?\\
—Yea…\\
Tius and Adam were trying to talk to 41 but he was standing in the place 21 left him, without saying anything and staring down.\\
—What happened to 41? — Sotíel asked 21.\\
21 looked back at 41; the other saint lifted his head and stared him in the eye.\\
—We have to go there. — 41 finally broke his silence.\\
—What? — 21 said a little dizzy.\\
—We Need to get those gems. — 41 firmly walked to the saint.\\
—What is going on? — Tius.\\
—What happened with you two? — Prospounae said in a rare anger.\\
—A gold Cavalier that was in a mission fell from the sky outside the castle. — 41 explained — He was carrying with him an armor…\\
—The ring was an armor? — 21 was still confused.\\
—You two are not making any sense. — Sotíel.\\
—The armor showed me something.\\
…\\
—So a gold soul, carrying a ring, fell from the sky in front of you, and now you are saying that the armor he had in the ring shone for you? — Adam said sarcastically.\\
—Yes. — 41 said extremely serious.\\
—Also, the commander has a fused armor and one of the two gems in it shone for me. \\
…\\
—They took the ring and the gem to Raphael's tower and we are going to take it back.\\
—No.\\
—Yes.\\
—No. They are going to dismiss us, or even kill us.\\
—We need those armors. You felt the same thing I did when you looked to the gem, those were made for us.\\
—Still not a reason to go there and put everything to lose.\\
—Of course it is. — 41 pulled 21 away screaming in frustration. He started to walk intensively towards 21 pointing his finger to his face — This is moment we've been waiting for ever since we got here, and now you say that you are not going to take some ricks for it.\\
—Calm down. — Adam tried to hold 41.\\
—Weren't you going to become the strongest Paladin in the world? Feared by you enemies and stuff… How will you do this if you step back in fear when the first problem shows up?\\
Raphael left the ring and the black gem in his office and went to the infirmary to help the Gold Cavalier. The two saints waited until he left his office and then went to the commander's tower, in front of Raphael's office were Skael and another Cavalier, they hid on the stairs thinking in a way to get inside the office.\\
—What do we do now? — 41 whispered to 21.\\
—I don't know it was your idea, think of something…\\
—Ok, I'm going to distract them… while you get invisible and grab the ring… and the gem.\\
—How am I going to open the door with them there? I just turn invisible, I'm not a ghost.\\
They were looking at the two guards in the door when someone who was going up the stairs called them.\\
—What are you two doing here?\\
They looked back scared at Asphela and Onami.\\
—Hello. What are you doing here? — 41 said with a weird smile.\\
—We came to ask the commander what is going on. No one knows what is going on and some people in the room are getting kind of "hysterical", if you know what I mean. —41 laughed — Did you came here to talk with him too?\\
They explained the situation to the cavaliers and then asked for help.\\
—I have an idea of how to get the stones and then leave completely safe. First, 21 lays down in this hallway downstairs, Asphela goes to the Cavaliers and asks for help, take them both downstairs while me and Onami go in the office and take the gems.\\
—I don't want to make part of this. — Onami — I just got a new chance to stay here, can't blow up that one.\\
—Fair enough, I'll go alone. Any questions?\\
They start the operation. Asphela goes running and screams for help, the Cavaliers ask her what is going on and she explains that one of the saints fainted in the hallway.\\
—Go help her I'll stay here. — Skael said to the other guard.\\
—Wait… you need to come… too — Asphela tried to call their attention.\\
—He can help you with that, if the saint is hurt take him to the infirmary, the commander will help him.\\
When they getting close to the stairs Asphela started to get anxious for only one of the Cavaliers was following her. When they got to the top of the stair, the Cavalier looked down and said:\\
—Hey, isn't that one of the saints that the commander told…\\
Before he could finish, Asphela pretends she stumbled, grabs in the Cavalier and jumps through the window close to them. Skael watches the scene and runs off to see if they were okay, he gets there and see Asphela in her armor and the Cavalier on the ground. Seizing the opportunity, 41 get close to Skael and pushes him out of the window, the Cavalier, by instinct, hold on 41 and both of them fall of the window too. Onami does not know what to do, she is the only one left, Asphela and 41 are in the garden and 21 is way too far in the hallway, so, reluctantly she goes inside.
Asphela stood up and called 41, they ran off to the boys room. After a while, Onami and 21 showed up there, with the stones. She opened her hand and showed them the ring and the gem. 41 took the ring in his hands and stared at it for a while.\\
—What are you waiting for? — Asphela asked.\\
—I don't know…I thought… that the armor would appear the moment I touched the ring.\\
In that moment, 21 took the small rock in his hands. His whole body started to shine almost blinding the ones close to him, when the light ceased they saw around him the majestic black armor. It was a lot like Raphael's armor, but its plates were all black and gold, instead of a helmet, the armor placed a golden crown in his head. In the back of the armor an extremely dark brown hood and right below it, gigantic, black as the deepest point in the ocean, adorned with long gold lines running from the base on his back to the tip of the feathers. "A work of art", 41 thought when he looked at 21's wings. He looked back at the ring and put it on his finger, but nothing happened.\\
—Why? — He took it off and put it in again. — It's not working.\\
—Are you sure it shinned for you? — Asphela asked him.\\
—Yes… well not exactly but still… — 41 was almost tearing up.\\
They hear a laud scream coming from the tower next to the room. It is Raphael lashing in anger; he takes flight and charges straight to the boys room. 41 gets desperate an screams at the ring.\\
—Do it you stupid thing!\\
He puts the ring back on and starts to shine. Raphael breaks through the window trying to stop him but it was too late, an armor was now laying on his body. It was the night sky poured in nebulae; the details were not well defined, the limit of the armor's adorns and the nebula painting was almost inexistent. It looked like a living universe. The helmet was plain, it did not had adornments, holes for eyes, mouth or nose, but he could see, breath, hear and talk perfectly. \\
They all stopped and stared at him, the astonishment gradually took the anger's place in Raphael, he slowly got closer admiring the armor. \\
—This can't be… — He whispered.\\
Raphael turned to 21 and stared at his armor, just like his old but in a calm and uniform color. Raphael, due to the heat of the moment, had not realized that his armor also has changed. It was entirely white and gold; the body, the wings and the hood were exactly like it's black counterpart, but it had a helmet instead of the crown. Raphael have never seen his armor that way, even before he fused the two armors, that made him happy. \\
He looked at the other ones in the room, they were all in silence waiting for him to say something.\\
—Well…\\
—Look… it shinned for me…\\
—I noticed…\\
—Can I keep it?\\
—I don't know…\\
—But it shinned for me.\\
—This armor was made for Seraphim. — Raphael said in a worried tone, with his hands on his forehead — Seraphim asked Idiofyel to make a specific armor for him, I don't know if you can have it.\\
—Seraphim already has one, I'll ask him if I can have this one. — 41 said extremely happy and hopeful. Raphael was still worried.\\
—What about me? — 21 asked, almost whispered.\\
Raphael turned to him. He kept looking to the armor for a while and then slowly walked to the cavalier, gently placed his hand on his shoulder and said:\\
—This armor used to be mine, and… It helped me get where I am today. I don't know if this is a goodbye, but thank you anyway… — He looks at the cavaliers face — Your name shall be ValonVorum, The Death Incarnate. \\
The room silences. Raphael turns to 41 and continues: \\
—I don't know… how long or if you'll be able… to use this armor. But, until the time comes when you can no longer wear this armor, your name will be Mikael.\\
The cavalier eyes filled with tears while his friends were celebrating.\\
—What are you two doing here? —Raphael said to Asphela and Onami, escorting them out of the room — Go to your dorms right now. The boys too, go to sleep.\\
They kept talking for a few minutes, not much, they were all tired. Sometime after lying in bed, Mikael suddenly stood up.
—This armor doesn't have wings.
