Chereads / Revelations: Battle of the Saints / Chapter 5 - The Fourteen

Chapter 5 - The Fourteen

I have good news to share with all of you, all my weird dreams have stopped! Ironic though since I only had two weird dreams and Azrael is a really good roommate to have, he tells me all the funny last words he heard people say while he takes them to Purgatory to wait for the final judgement.

"One guy told me that I came for him at the wrong time and that he's left with three years to live. So I asked him who told him that and he said my dog." Azrael said while helping me do the dishes at home. Suddenly Azrael received a call from an unknown number, he excused himself and went to answer he returned when I was done. He looked serious.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Michael called, he said that I should bring you and that he wants to start training the Fourteen." He replied.

"Fourteen? What's that?" I asked him.

"God sent fourteen of us the angels to fourteen humans He deemed to be righteous. And you are part of the Fourteen." He replied. We set off to Professer Maxwell's library since Michael was his guardian angel. Now here's some things you need to know about Michael according to Azrael:

Michael is one of the most important angels in heaven, he's the chief commander of the Heavenly Army and the one who whooped Lucifer's ass to next week. He can be very strict and is a no-nonsense person but he can be clumsy sometimes (doesn't mean laugh at him cause he would slap you straight to hell, Azrael's words not mine.) Azrael said Michael is so strong that he can face twenty whole armies of upper ranking demons and still win.

"A lot of angels look up to him." Azrael concluded.

"Do you look up to him to Azrael?" I asked him.

"No, I don't have any role models anymore." He replied.

"You had a role model?" I asked again wanting to know Azrael a bit more.

"Yea, he was amazing but then he left." Azrael replied with a bit of sadness and regret in his voice. The topic I brought was a sensitive one so I tried to change it.

"So apart from Zadikel, which other angels where sent?" I asked.

"Oh I don't remember all of them but God sent: Sachiel, Uriel, Raphael, Gabriel, Jophiel, Camael, Ariel, Raziel, Raguel, Barachiel and Selaphiel." He replied.

"Does like eleven!" I exclaimed in shock, when he said he didn't remember all I thought he remembered like four not eleven. We finally reached the library and entered the study, a lot of people I had never met were there well, expect for one.

"Tyler?!" I said in shock as he talked a male with light tanned skin with grey hair and deep blue eyes in a yellow hoodie and white shorts with matching shoes.

"Azrael?! Zadikel?! Bestie reunion?!" The person said while hugging Zadikel, Azrael tried running away but Zadikel noticed that and pulled into the hug.

"Sachiel, like how long has it been since we separated?" Zadikel asked.

"It's been only three weeks....." Azrael mumbled.

"Three loooong weeks!" Zadikel and Sachiel said obiviously annoyed with Azrael's gloomy behaviour. They finally let go and Azrael acted like he was regaining his breath.

"Oh, don't pretend like you don't miss me! Cause I missed you!" Sachiel said while playfully nudging Azrael on his arm, Azrael looked at him like a child pretending that they don't want a toy. Then he started smiling before grabbing Sachiel by his hoodie and started knocking on his head.

"Fine, I guess I miss you and your bad jokes." Azrael said before letting him go. Suddenly a man with the build of a gym instructor entered, he had shoulder length black hair with light yellow eyes. I could tell he was Michael because he had eight golden wings that shone with a great aura, he was smartly dressed in a black turtleneck shirt with a matching black jacket and trousers.

"Good afternoon to everyone, sorry for the short notice. But before we begin... Azrael?" Michael said while eyeing Azrael, Azrael looked visibly confused.

"Do you mind explaining to everyone including myself what you meant by if someone laughed at me if I trip, I would slap them straight to hell?" Michael continued while grinning mischievously, at that exact moment all the blood in Azrael's face instantly drained and he looked embrassed.

"Busted!" A male voice said from the back, Azrael didn't hesitate to say : "Shut up Raphael!" As soon as he said that a female voice spoke.

"Looks like someone forgot that Michael has superhearing." The female teased.

"Mindy your business, Jophiel." Azrael retorted, I turned and saw a female with long blonde hair and grey eyes and a brown sweater and black skirt with white sneakers.

"You haven't answered my question." Michael added. Azrael was literally sweating.

"Oh, c'mon I meant as jokes not real and its a melodramatic statement! Don't take so personally." Azrael replied while laughing nervously.

"Hmmm, I don't know now I really want to test it out, mind being my test subject?" Michael asked.

"No thanks!" Azrael replied.

"Anyways, I organized you guys to you guys prepared for the final battle. I'm going to ensure that you are prepared mentally, physically and most importantly spiritually." He said.

"Meaning?" I thought. Michael looked straight at me and and smiled. No one told me that he could read minds!

"Training time."
