Chapter 4 - Chapter 4

`Sitting in my agony by sh*t is getting real...

She took me to hell i asked her why...

She said because...

Love's not made for demons baby...

Love's not made for us...`

The scene had changed again. It seemed like we're back in Cain's bedroom as his music continued to play. There was no signs of movement from Cain which made sense as it was barely 4 Am. Hmm it seems like all's well. Soon, another hour passed as it was now 5 Am. Normally, i wouldn't mention the hours passing by but this hour was different. Why? well because for some reason, Cain's eyes darted wide open and his figure blurred. He appeared next to his window and pulled up the blinds. His head moved frantically as though he was searching for something. He soon stopped however as his gaze settled on something. On closer inspection, the something looked like an Unidentified Flying Object, then if one looked even closer, one would notice it was a person. At least it looked like one, but it clearly wasn't as it featured 1,2,3,4... 4 wings. Feathered wings for that matter. 'Angel'. Cain thought as he opened the window and bolted out.

As soon as his feet hit the outside ground and before he could take even a single step forward , the winged being was already in front of him! Cain flinched and took a quick step back as he observed the angel. It was hovering above ground and was dressed in silver looking amour. It had a holy aura and a near perfect face. The angel was clearly male... i think. The 4-winged angel moved closer to him and with a voice that resonated with the Earth said "Hello Sinner!". With those words, one could now see the angel give a smile that wasn't a smile as its mouth stretched from ear to ear and exposed shark like teeth. It was a horrifying scene ,yet the holy aura emanating from the angel made it hard too look away from.

"Lamedile?" Cain replied with a raised eye brow, he recognized that face. But when was the last time he saw it? "Ha Ha Ha" the angel laughed as it Circled around Cain with a leisurely smile. It's grin was no longer there. "How long as it been sinner? 2- 3000 years?" It asked. The tension in Cain's muscles seemed to visibly loosen and he said "I'm not sure. What brings you to Earth though? I thought the 'Divine' had abandoned this world". The angel continued to circle Cain as it gazed into the stars. It's eyes seemed to absorb it's content as he said "Not really.... although the sins of the earth make this place a disgusting venue, it's still a world made personally by 'HIM' ." After a brief pause, the angel continued to speak. "The prayers of the humans still reached us and some of the good ones were answered." The angel stopped star gazing as it looked at Cain and continued to speak. "None of the 'Divine' just wanted to descend. Even i don't want to be here, but can you guess why I'm here?" It said as a more enchanting smile adorned it's face. Cain had a pensive look on his face before he let out a sigh and said "No, just tell me." The angel continued it's star gazing as it said "...War." Cain raised an eyebrow, 'War?'. But before he could even reply, the angel vanished. Cain's expression remained odd as he stood there for the next five minutes. Eventually though, he turned around and jumped back into his room through the window. From the look on his face, it was clear that he received more questions than answers. When Cain got into his room, he locked the window and put down the blind. After that, he jumped on his bed and rested his head on the pillow while facing the ceiling. He had a thoughtful expression on his face as he rubbed his bearded chin. After many minutes of doing this, it was now 7 Am. Cain stood up from his bed and walked into the bathroom. He closed the door and one could soon hear the sounds of the shower. 15 minutes later, Cain walked out of the bathroom fully dressed and with slightly wet hair. He wore clothes similar to yesterday just with a black T-shirt . Strangely, he also wore footwear.

Walking towards the door, Cain made his way out of his bedroom. His steps seemed hurried. Cain slammed his room door lightly as he made his way towards the kitchen . Immediately he got in, he walked towards the freezer and took out some bear meat. They were all frozen solid, but Cain didn't seem to care. He snapped his fingers and a soft 'booom' rang out. The pieces of meat caught fire on the ceramic counter he had placed them and immediately began to de-freeze. Soon all the pieces of bear meat became normal again, but the flames continued to burn. Seemed like Cain wanted to cook the meat. About a minute later, all the pieces of bear meat had finished cooking and the flames died down. Cain took the pieces one by one and ate them all. He drank some water from the sink and left the kitchen. He walked towards the gallery with hurried steps. When he got there, he looked around the room and his expression softened. He walked towards some of the photographs and picked them up. He walked out of the gallery and worked towards another door in the house. He opened it and walked in; it was a dark -but not too dark- room. There was only one thing in the room which was the statue of an Eagle. Cain walked towards the brown -probably wooden- statue and grabbed the eagle's head. With a light 'Creak', Cain turned the Eagle's head left. After that, the room seemed to rumble a bit as the wall next to the Eagle gave way. As it parted, one could see a staircase that led down. The passage was even darker than the room, so it was quite difficult to tell how long the passage was. Walking forward, Cain moved down the stairs. It seemed like it was getting difficult for him to see as well because soon a fireball formed above his head, lighting up the passage as he continued to walk forward. The passage could now clearly be seen. It was covered in cobwebs, but they soon made way for the fire. It wasn't a long passage as Cain reached the bottom in about 10 seconds. Walking towards a certain direction, Cain reached a wall and flipped a switch. Soon the room was illuminated by an old early 20th century style light bulb. Looking around a bit, Cain's eyes absorbed his surrounding's condition. It was an empty room. In fact, it was an empty room covered with dust and cobwebs. Strange, i thought secret rooms held, you know...secrets? Walking away without answering the narrator's questions, Cain walked to another side of the walls and gently set down the photographs.

Soon, 30 minutes passed as Cain continued to move the paintings and photographs to the secret room. After he was done, Cain went back into his room, grabbed his phone and ear phones and put them into his pocket. Then he just sat down by the edges of his bed and waited. As if on queue, a loud "THHRRUUMMM" sounded out. It sounded like a trumpet or horn or something... Hearing the Sound, Cain's eyes became sharper as his expression became grim. Cain wasn't the only one who could hear the sound though as it resounded through out the Earth. Everyone heard it. Weather you were deaf, mad, in a coma, having a seizure, sleeping, driving, eating, or even dying, you heard it.

People rushed out of their houses in droves, cars got mad confused, mad pedestrian screamed stuff like "It's the end!!" or "We're all gonna die!!" before rushing into traffic. Planes fell out of the sky or crashed into each other as pilots and watch towers could not control themselves. People in Psychiatric hospitals could be seen chasing doctors down with furniture as they all screamed in madness. Arsonists rose up and set fire to stuff, people started killing and r*ping each other. It was like humanity had been waiting for this day so they could all loose their sh!t, it was total chaos. Some humans that were still sane took out their phones and started recording everything. I mean, who wouldn't want to post the end of the world on TikTok?

All that happened in the first 5 minutes...Crazy. All the chaos didn't last too long though as it seemed like authority hadn't lost their sh!t as well. Soon military squad cars and police vans of most nations were able to regain a semblance of control. The air was thick with the sent of misery and blood... is what i would have liked to say but it seemed like even with all the crashes, and the fires, and the attempted murders, no one really died... at all. In fact, hospitals at that time made a startling discovery as the sick, those in comas, those in severe accidents, all stood up. Even the guys that were being operated on when the horns started managed to make it out alive!

Even with all the sh!t happening on Earth, every human still paid close attention to the trumpet like sound. So when it came to an end, the whole world seemed to have descended into pin drop silence. Hell even the sounds of destruction seemed to have faded into the background. The hearts of every human seemed to beat in sync as they all waited with bathed breaths.

The wait didn't last though as a voice that they didn't hear, but could feel spoke directly to their souls. ["Humans, it's the end."] With that most people's heart fell to the pit of their stomachs, some fell on their knees and started praying, some just looked lost, but each one of them continued to listen. ["Indeed, it is the end. But, it's also a new beginning."] another voice said. Similar to the last, it also spoke directly to their souls this new voice was just feminine. ["THEY want a battle"] the first voice said. ["But HE does not"] the second replied. ["However, THEY are many"] the first continued ["But HE is not"] the second lamented. ["Therefore, a battle is Inevitable"] the first voice said. ["Till then though, a new stage has risen"] the second voice said . ["The Universe needs heroes."] said the first. ["And Heroes are forged through battle."] the second added. ["So the gates below will be opened"] said the first. ["And the things chained below will be released"] added the second. ["The worlds will be connected"] said the first ["And the races will mix"] continued the second. ["The lands will spit out the unclean they have taken"] said the first ["And no more unclean shall they take"] replied the second. ["We will be straight with you"] said the first ["Most of you will die"] continued the second. ["But we could be wrong"] said the first ["So why don't you surprise us?"] continued the second. ["Indeed"] said the first ["We await your ascension"] added the second. With that, all the voices faded and something else took its place. In front of every human was a holographic box. Each person's box had the exact same words. It read

[The Divine are Watching.]
