I stand facing the men in front of the house three men are giving me angered death glares I recognize them as the angels personal task force. Most people never see them in person, so I have only heard stories, but they are generally humans who act as law enforcers. The official name for these enforcers is angel eye they also carry out punishment to those who break laws. There are three of them clad in striatium armor grey in color it is said to be harder than diamond, and they each have steel swords sticking out at their waist. The armor is as durable as diamond, but I hear it is also super flexible, and light to move in truly the ideal armor for a warrior.
There is a short man with a somewhat unimpressive stature in the back he seemed to be their leader, but I can tell he was weaker than the other two in front. There is a big guy on the right with a burly build, and long brown beard with a scar on his right eye. The guy on the left is shorter, but I can tell he never skips his workouts he is build like a truck. The guy on the left is clean shaved, blonde hair looks younger than the other two with clear blue eyes. The short man in back with the weak stature turns to me with fire in his eyes, "State your name boy!" I glance at my dad, and he begs me with his eyes to cooperate, "Kreyol Mallory sir" I say flatly.
The man raises his eyebrow a bit at my tone, but continues, "Kreyol Mallory I hereby declare you under arrest! You will come with my men and I to town square we will see to it that you are punished to the highest extent possible!" I lose my composure what in the hell are they talking about I have been condemned? How? I have done nothing wrong I glance over at my dad who has lost all color. I speak up respectfully, but stern, "What if I may ask is the reason for this arrest?" The short man looking annoyed responded, "Well not that you need to know, but our survey with Juna has shown us a suspicious hideout in the forest. Juna can see the history of places, so she saw everything illegal that happened in that hideout which I am sure I can list off. Trespassing on scared land for starters, killing of scared deer, eating deer meat, avoiding responsibilities as a citizen, and finally most recently wasting our time.
I froze in place my life was over they would kill me just like they did my mom my only hope was to run into the forest, but these men would strike me down the moment I tried to run. The man turned to the angel behind him, "Juna my lady what will we do with this heretic?" The angel named Juna turned towards me looking me down head to toe her eyes were devoid of emotion. She had long white hair, a halo a top her head made of light glowed brightly, she was skinny, but also gave off an immense presence. Her face lacked any compassion I could tell she was looking at me, but her face gave the impression she really didn't see me. I couldn't help even despite the situation I was in thinking she was extremely beautiful snow white hair, big blue eyes, and cute red lips.
I had heard stories of angels being otherworldly when compared to humans, but I was seeing it first hand her beauty was out of this world. She looked at the man in front eyes that lacked any care she uncaringly responded, "I suppose if he must be punished hanging in the town square should do, but it matters not lets just hurry up I have other more pressing issues to take care of." The man glanced over at his two goons, "You heard the lady take this heretic to the gallows he can at least be used as a sacrifice to our lord." I started shaking, "G-gallows you mean I am getting the death sentence? What! Isn't that too extreme I mean yeah I broke the rules, but death?!" The man in back barked back at me, "Shut it heretic you have no say in this the lady has spoken your worthless life will be offered to god."
The two men in front started trying to restrain me they both grabbed on to my shoulders I tried to wiggle free, but I had no hope of shaking them off. Dammit I thought I was at least stronger than this I had trained myself to fight at a very young age my own way. I wanted to someday go explore the world so I had practiced using a wooden sword in preparation for an adventure. The training I did ultimately amounted to nothing I had built up some upper body strength, but compared to these guys I couldn't even move an arm. The man in back shouted, "Take this slime away! Lets go!" They started dragging me away when my dad who had been silent up until this point out of shock finally spoke up, "Wait! Hold on!"
They turned around briefly the small man approached my dad sternly he yelled back, "What is it you roach?" My dad who was usually calm, and kind of a hardass looked as weak as a mouse he squeaked out, "Wait I have a preposition please at least listen to me, and don't take my son away." The man raised an eyebrow, "Yeah? You hear that boys he has a demand for us the angel eye a lowly little citizen had a demand for us?" He started laughing at my dad, and he gestured for his boys to do the same they all started laughing albeit his goons had a more forced expression. He turned back around, and started walking away, but his steps stopped in their tracks quickly when he looked at Juna.
Juna looking a little more annoyed than before looked at the small man in front of her, "Gram when did I say I was going to ignore this man?" I guess the little man was named Gram he looked at the angel in front of him as white a sheet. He chocked out the words, "L-lady Juna this man is just a worm he had nothing of value to say sur-" That was the last thing the man would say his face exploded in an instant blood splattered all over me, and the other guards it all happened so fast I didnt have to to process it. I let out a scream in pure fear of the woman before me I had never seen something so horrific happen so close to me. The other two men next to me had more composed expressions, but I saw a hint of fear in their face as they looked at the angel.
Juna looking like she just killed a bug muttered to herself, "Hmph who are you to tell me what has value, and what doesn't." She then glanced at the blonde man to my left, "What are you waiting for Kyren ask the man what he wants." Kyren looking nervous shouts over to my dad, "Sir what is this proposition you speak of." My dad stunned in place finally comes to his senses he seems to struggle to find the words to say. The man pleads with his eyes finally my dad spits out, "I offer you my own life in place of my son's life." The blonde man losses his composure, "What! Please don't tell me you stopped us with that in mind that means nothing to us!" My father quickly added on, "Wait just listen I offer my life in that I will work in the bloodshell mines for the rest of my life I will slave away if you let my son live."
Kyren nervously glances at Juna she looks like a bit of life enters her eyes, "Oh? Did you say bloodshell mines? I haven't heard anyone willingly offering themselves to the mines. You intrigue me human continue." My father continues, " I offer the rest of my life to the mines I will slave away in the mines if you let my son Kreyol live!" Juna laughs, "You understand what you are saying those mines are a fate worse than death slaves that are sent their die within a few years at best. The conditions are so harsh that most usually die within a few months, but you are saying you will willingly enter the mines?" My father meekly responds, "Yes I will sell myself to you if it means my son can live I swore to never let anything happen to him."
Juna smiles, "State your name human." My father responds, "Cyrus Mallory a lowly farmer of Gensia." Juna raises an eyebrow, "Mallory? Huh I think we killed a woman with that last name a few years ago for treason." Both me, and my father tense up the day my mother died was the worst day of both our lives even now I see that day like it happened just yesterday. Juna doesn't seem to care she continues, "Well no matter Cyrus Mallory you have earned my favor if someone would willingly give themselves to the mines I will grant you pardon just this time." She pointed at me blankness returned to her face, "Kreyol Mallory you will still suffer for your misdeeds I declare you banished from the town of Gensia. Gather your things you leave tomorrow I will have one of my guards here escort you out of Gensia. Keep in mind if I see you ever again you will be killed on site, that is all dismissed." I fell to the ground as Juna walked away my life had fallen apart in a matter of minutes I lost the strength to get up as a sat in shock waiting for the nightmare to end.
