CHAPTER 5
"Are you really leaving the city?"
"Lyn," I hold her hand "Yes. In order to find my brother."
I know that Saran wasn't evil, he just wanted to accompany dad in hell after I put our father there. I still want to find him, I just wanted to clear things with him.
"When will you leave?"
"Later at dawn." I said.
"Becareful okay? A lots of monster are roaming the exit of the city."
I smiled. "Roger that." I hugged her for one last time.
.
.
.
"This is wonderland!" I exclaimed.
I can't believe such place exist. Actually I'm lost here in somewhere, after I left the city, I drove here and, chadaan! I'm lost for godsake! The place looks like I'm in holy realm but nah..
After a minute of walking, I saw a mansion. In the middle of nowhere? I looked at my back when I sensed someone's looking at me. I hurriedly walk in the mansion and I can still sense that someone is following me.
I open the door and the lights were somewhat open. I think someone's living here. Of course it's a mansion! goodsake Serena.
Damn it, it feels like many eyes are watching my every move. This mansion is weird. Why did I end up coming here? Aish.
I can sensed them. I turned around again, and when I looked back, something hit the back of my neck and I lost consciousness.
Zarathor's POV
"Where is she?" I ask.
"Your highness she's in the middle hall of the mansion." I nodded and start to walk.
I'm sorry dear, you walk into my trap. Anyways this is for your mom.
.
.
I saw her lying in the floor while I'm going down the stairs.
Serena's POV
I woke up and saw myself lying on the floor. I groaned as I felt a pain in my neck, I held my neck and stand up.
I notice that I am inside the barrier.
"Hi my little angel," a familiar voice. And he's walking towards me.
"D-dad?" I can't believe it. How did he manage to get out.
"Hi miss me? I know you've been wondering why I'm here? Cause you know practicing my great power in that dark castle, and that's how I became more powerful and that's the reason I got out from that hell."
He open his palm and saw a power, my heart skip a beat.
"How did you get that!"
"Oh this?" he move forward and showed me my brother's power. "Your brother is foolish. I got his power but only half. How disappointing, he shouldn't have resisted. He's now a traitor. It's for your own mom anyway."
"For our mom? Are you insane! Do you think she will be happy if she knows that her children were killed by their own father?! How could you do that to my brother your own child!"
"Shut up! You two should sacrifice yourself for your mom! If you hadn't sealed me in hell, I can still save your mom!"
"Save mom? by killing those innocents archangels, angels and nymphs? Do you think by killing those mom can be save? NO! can't you just accept that mom has died."
"Those angels were not innocent! Because of them my wife died!"
"Mom died protecting her home, her angels!" I glared at him and my voice were trembling. "You are not our father. You are a monster!" I shouted.
The barrier's gone. I know I'm hopeless right now. I'm weak, but I think I can still use my last power. It's risky..it's the only way anyway.
I cut my palm and use my blood to trap my father. This is a phoenixis blood he can't...
I was thrown back and turned to look where he was. The blood was scattered around and I saw him, It had a wound on its side, and it healed immediately.
"Do you think this mere blood trap can kill me? You don't have your powers anymore so don't resist!"
He used his powers on me and I started to float and was struggling to breathe as he was collecting my blood, the blood of the Red Phoenix. I coughed up blood and I'm getting dizzy. Even though I was in pain, I looked at him and saw him smiling devilishly. My eyesight is becoming blurry, I won't be able to endure much longer... I'm sorry Gabriel..and everything went black.
.

Gabriel's POV
I woke up when I heard a rustling sound.
"It's me." Azaniel said.
"How did you find me here?" I asked. He showed me the letter I send.
"You include your address here." I sighed and sit on the sofa.
"Father nearly killed me." I said. "And I think he's after the red phoenix blood. My sister is in danger."
"Don't worry. My people is already searching for her."
"If father captured her, then she will die." I said. My heart is beating louder. I stand up and get my coat.
"Wait." he said and opened the thin paper. "Serena left the city and trap in a mansion." he said. We looked at each other.
"Fuck!" we both said in unison.
Serena..
.
.
Azaniel's POV
We teleported to the so-called mansion; the aura is very dark. Since when has there been a mansion in the forest?
"Let's go inside," he said. When we entered, it was very silent inside.
"Let's split up, me here and you upstairs" he agreed.
I use my light power to search her scent. My heart was beating louder.
Her scent is getting stronger. I walk fast and saw a floating coffin. The coffin was shining red. I used my power to bring the coffin down.
I was shocked to see. I immediately contact Gabriel in my mind.
"I found her." I said.
I was devastated by what I saw; she was wearing a red dress with flowers surrounding her. She was sleeping peacefully, and tears fell from my eyes.
"Serena?" Gabriel whispered softly. He fell to his knees and bowed his head. "I'm sorry sister..I didn't protect you. I promised you that I will protect the people you once protected."
I lowered my head and tears came rushing through my eyes. Serena I promised you.
"Your father trap Serena here. I can still detected your father's scent." I said and wipe my tears.
"That damn monster. If he wanted war then I'll give it to him!"
"Don't rush. We have to plan it properly. Now that he has the blood of the red phoenixis. We can't just go."
"I want to avenge my sister as soon as possible. If you don't want to join me, then I'll be the one who will kill that demon."
"Serena's body." her body started to vanish.
"Sister I promise you I will avenge you." A tear fell from my eye.
"Let's not be emotional. And let's kill that demon." I seriously said.
.
.
We arrived to find the place in chaos, with my men dead. I ran toward someone I saw still alive.
"What happened here?"
"The d-demon," he whispered before taking his last breath.
We immediately felt a dark aura and positioned ourselves. I summoned my sword to my hand, changed my form, and saw Gabriel do the same.
"If you want to kill me, I'm right here."
We charged at him, but he dodged our attacks. I used holy light against him, but he deflected it. Gabriel managed to wound him, but the wound healed instantly.
I used my mind to contact Gabriel.
'Gabriel, we can't fight this monster. We need to retreat. Now that he has Serena's blood and half of your power, he's invincible.'
He looked at me and nodded.
"Do you both think I'll let you retreat just like that?"
He used black force to make us tumble.
We quickly shielded ourselves upon seeing his attack approaching.
"Azaniel!" Gabriel shouted. I used the divine spell, hitting him and making him fall, it's not working!
He was bleeding but only smiled at us.
"Gabriel. Your father is crazy demon." he hissed.
Both of us were drained of power; without the holy sword, I had no chance against him. We are both tired, and bleeding.
"You escape first. I'll shield you, this mansion is going to blow out. So hurry."
"Gabriel. We will escape here alive. I promised your sister!"
We both turned our attention when someone tap our shoulders.
"Stop it guys. Come on let's go."
"Lyn?" when did her friend.
"I will explain everything to you later. So hang on." she used a shining gold to teleport us.
.
.
We arrived at the holy realm.
"Why here?" I ask.
"Stop asking. Nymphs we have two injured people."
"Faye?" Gabriel called her.
"I'm not her your higness." she said and walked away.
"Hey I thought you're gonna explain to us!" I shouted.
"She's really Faye."
"Bro she said she's not."
"She's just pretending."
"But she's Serena's friend."
"She's Faye." he said and let a loud sigh.
"I'm Faith, leader of nymphs and this is Hale my sister." her sister bowed her head.
"Can you explain us why a friend of Serena is a nymph?"
"Archangel Azaniel. I gained my past memories together with my powers. Maybe because Serena cast a spell to awake every nymphs and angels in every people."
"Yes. She cast a spell that can forget her existence here in holy real and human realm, but it didn't work on us. I deflected it." Gabriel said.
"Yea same here. We deflected it. We don't know why she did that, she must have a reason."
"You know Serena, she's willing to sacrifice everything to bring peace to the three realms. She's a goddess, her responsibility is heavy. It is also her responsibility to protect the human realm from demon realm." she stopped and sigh. "Is Serena dead?" she asked.
"Yes. When we arrived she was already dead."
"I saw it in my visions. She will comeback to life, but the thing is she doesn't have her past memories and her soul is in a teenager body, highschool kid to be exact. So our mission now is to wait for almost 100 years."
"What 100 years? Are you kidding me!? If our father gained all of the powers the two realms will be in danger!"
"He can't."
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"To complete the revival, he needs the power of holy bell and the divine swords. The divine swords can only activate if the owner summon them."
"You knew how powerful he became." Gabriel said.
"I know. The holy and human realm was protected by her holiness power. So even if the demon realm attack the two realms they can't completely conquered the realms. The casualty is low. Serena's power will activate if they attack."
"How can you be so sure?" Gabriel asked.
"I'm one hundred percent sure. Your highness. That's all. Goodbye."
"Wait. Can I talk to you later?"
She raise her eyebrow. "What for?"
"About us."
"There's no us your highness." she bowed her head and walk away.
"Gabriel we need to train the angels. 100 years is enough. But we still need to defend the people in human realm." I said.
"I promised Serena that I will help her keep people safe." he clenched his fist.
.
.
.
The long wait is finally here. I had been appointed as a heavenly emperor. I'm now ruling the holy realm. At first I didn't want this but Gabriel also suggested that I should be the one ruling instead of him.
"Are you ready?" Faith said.
"Yes." Gabriel and I answered in unison.
We will descend from the holy realm. It's been so long since I left my career here in human realm. Before I left I said goodbye and that I was leaving for some reason.
Here I am now..The humans are showing how happy and peace their land. A lot happened in a hundred of years, and we are hoping to find her immediately.
Gabriel's POV
"What are we doing here?" I asked. Faith never told us that we are becoming teachers in junior high.
"I didn't bother to tell you both cause I know you will not do it."
It's been a hundred of years chasing this woman but she's still not into me even a bit.
"It's fun." Azaniel commented and smile.
"Not funny." I said and walk.
___
Just walking in the corridors and saw some students playing games in their phones.
Give me a sign Seren.
Nikolai's POV
"Hey have you heard that we were having a new teachers and they're 3. I saw them walking into the hallway earlier. They look like a gods and goddesses who descend from heaven."
"That's ridiculous Maria." I commented.
"It's not. And I think the other new teacher will be our new laboratory teach." Maria said.
"Stop playing with your phone Niko." Ariana said and seized my phone.
"Hey, I'm not done yet."
"The teacher is here." Maria said.
We sat down properly and looked ahead. The new teacher looks familiar to me...
