Chapter 49 - 7[]Ťrench

I ran and ran and ran but they kept following me none stop, as fast as I am they are still faster, that's with them jumping from a tree to another instead of going in a straight line.

I could use the rifle but I suspect that I'll not be able to kill them before they kill me and more over right now the rifle disappeared and took the form of a glove.

Since a rifle is problematic and not always useful, avatha could turn it into something else... like a black glove with a white colored chain drawn on it.

I also have the belt with the pearl of invisibility... I can just twist it a little and I'll disappear but not yet, right now it's too dangerous.

There were about fifteen of those angels wanna-bes, they are still terrible I almost felt fear...

They kept getting closer and closer, but then something unexpected happened... as I turned my head around to glance at them, I got ambushed from the sky.

Without wasting anytime they tied my hands and feat.

In a second all of them got down on the ground, in the front someone with an armor that was more damaged(probably by monsters) took off his helmet and gazed at me with an expression of someone with a headache.

He looked very human but almost too human for a none human creature to be, his ears were a little deformed and elongated.

Slowly approaching me, he stood right there a Meyer away then said-

"This is the first time we get a live one! He isn't fully human anymore... anyway, let's move him quickly"

I turned my head towards him and said with confusion-

"Explain your behavior 'Long-ears' What the hell is going on inside that head of yours? Why are you doing this?!"

He stared at me for a while then said-

"We'll answer these questions later"

And without giving me much time to retaliate, they covered my mouth and flew to the sky... the direction however was a little disturbing.

As they flew with me I found out that they fly in their weird way only between the woods and it actually makes them faster, but they still can fly normally above the woods which to my surprise was slower.

At this hight, with my eyes, I saw so many radiant objects in the distance but it was hard to discern or recognize a thing, they just looked like a bunch of stars, five were rather extra radiant...

There is one with a string going down to what looks like infinity, there is a radiant light over a mountain, there is a radiant star far deeper in the woods and many others.

After a rather long trib the angels slowed down in front of a cliff, which was actually a cliff of a valley... no it was more like a trench.

A narrow crack in the ground, massive and grand, a weird kind of trees were ground horizontally on the walls of the trench making the trench look like a wound in the process of healing, oddly enough.

I could also see a very bright star in the trench, it seems inside the earth instead of inside the trench.

As we were descending through the massive crack we went through between these unrecognizable trees, it was especially impossible to recognize them because of my new eyes, they just looked like a faintly bioluminescent trees from a fantasy movie but those were actually just a relatively normal trees, that's all.

As we descended through the grand trench we reached a massive stone gate, carved through the wall of the trench, which was especially hard to discern with my eyes because it was made from stone, I still could recognize how grand that gate is.

A few seconds later we landed on protruding platform leading inside the hand-made caves.

It's only then that I actually realized how small I was in comparison to that gate, as they lead me through the caves I could recognize that the caves are two-man in hight.

The floor of the hand-made caves were relatively flat but the walls curved more until the two walls meet each other at the tope without a ceiling.

The walls had a bit of a protruding that seemed to be for injured members to use for support when they walk so that they don't fall down.

Their walls also seem to be lit by a type of mold growing on the walls, it was quite beautiful for my devine eyes.

As they walked me through the corridors to what seems like a specific direction, multiple members of their species walked by with a lot of them given me surprised expressions, some stared specifically at my ears while others stared at my feet, my none human feet.

After a lot of awkward glances we finally reached a darker grand room, with many metal bars creating what looked obviously like a prison cells.

They then threw me in one of them and closed the door, my hands were still tied unfortunately...

Then they left except for four, two stood on both corners of the prison cell from the outside, the other two guarding the door leading to the corridor while staring straight at me.

I looked around at the prison cells and was surprised to see the place was quite clean, except for the numerous claw marks and damage to the stone walls and even the metal bars received some damage, all probably from the previous prisoners... I hope.

.

A few minutes later the door got open with about five walking into the room, three looked common with their armor and walked behind, and one I recognized both because of his damaged armor and his face since he didn't wear his helmet.

At the very front walked slowly with a little bit of a struggle, an older man with a weak body but sharp eyes, he looked bored...

He stood in front of the prison bars side by side with the other one I recognized, and looked at me with indifference.

After a while he said-

"It's truly been that long since I've seen a living one! Huh..."
