Argathripe - Book 2 ~ (The Dead City Series)

Tanya

A, as always, was going on about how annoyed she was about why she had to come. She knew the fight was pointless. She knew why she was here. She just wanted something to talk about. We heard a knocking on the door. We had just arrived in Argathripe. We had just been waiting for someone to come get us. I disappeared, and the door opened. I stayed in A's mind. No one could see me. The one to knock and open the door was Scarlet Tridon. One of the prophets. She was said to be a fire wolf, but obviously was new to all of this. A. seemed to enjoy her company, but I didn't know why. Scarlet said that it was time to finally get on 'dry' land. Scarlet made finger quotes at that, and already had her coat on. It seemed like A. was also a bit cold, because she zipped up her zipper on her sweatshirt. Or she was just doing that because she had forgotten what shirt she had on. It was one I had given her that said 'I met the White Demon!' It was extremely cheesy, and we both enjoyed laughing at it. The private joke was that the White Demon was literally-

"Alright, come on everyone!! We're finally here!!" It was King/Queen Jesse.

They were different shades of blue, and had golden swirls all over them. They had on a parka, but it was unzipped and showed their dress shirt and jeans on underneath. They had large boots with fuzz on the rim of them. They looked stylish, and I enjoyed their outfit. I was always looking for ways to look absolutely beautiful. But it wasn't difficult. I looked good in anything and everything. I heard A. somehow scoff in her mind.

"Cut me some slack," I said to her in her mind.

"Hush," She thought to me.

I smirked. As we got onto the snowy island, we saw people very busily preparing all sorts of things. Many angels were flying around, taking a look at everything from the air. Aerial views can be quite important for these kinds of events. A. looked around and was obviously looking for something. Or someone. Then she found it.

The Royal of the shapeshifters ran over to him and embraced him in a hug. "Ooh! It's been awhile!! How have you been?!"

He laughed. His pure white hair seemed to sparkle. His halo was glowing, and his wings were unfurled, looking a bit poofy. He seemed to glow whenever he smiled. He had on a pearly white tuxedo that had a tail that went to his ankles, and the same color white cardigans.

"Are these the prophets-" He cut off, staring at A.

"Oh no," She groaned to me in her mind.

I just thought 'lol' to her.

He ran over and embraced A. in a giant hug. "A!! How have you been!! I haven't seen you in forever!"

"Mmf," She groaned back at him. Not a hugger.

He put her down. "Are these the prophets?" He motioned towards Theodore Drey, Katrina Brey, and Scarlet Tridon.

"Affirmative," She answered in a serious tone. "We'll be hunkering down here for about one and a half of a day, then we'll need to go and get some of those weird healing fruits in Creator Kingdom because two of the prophets have been affected by the darkness. Do you have the angel?"

He patiently listened to her speak. "He should be here momentarily. But, try and take it slow. He isn't a people-person, and doesn't know he's a prophet."

A. stared at the King. "He doesn't know?"

"No. We just thought it would be better, since..." He tried to come up with a reason. "Since none of us wanted to break the news to him. Because he'll be stuck with a demon, and you know how any angel would get."

We all understood what he meant. Even Scarlet Tridon. Scarlet Tridon seemed to be getting the hang of how the real world worked. She reminded me just a bit of A. when I found her.
