Collided Fate: Book 1

Chapter 17: Fusion and the Shadow Merchant

I felt the hairs on my arms stand up.

"The ArchFallen war? Again? That can't be! It almost wiped out almost every single living thing." Ezekiel nodded.

"That is why you have to stop them. You're going to find the Arch and fallen Angels, defeat them and the gods in them. Then make their powers yours along with their kings. That will be easy for you." I put my hand up.

"You wish for me to go slower?" He asked.

I shook my head.

"If I may. I do not believe that the master wishes for you to go slower. He is worried about something else entirely. He understands what he must do. Correct?" Leana looked at me.

I smiled and nodded.

"Do I have to do this alone? Is the only reason you called me here for was just to tell me that? If the gods are after me it's only a matter of time before I get involved." I said.

Ezekiel laughed. Then Selene and Leana laughed as well.

"Of course not. You'll follow down your path and we shall follow you faithfully. Even if it leads to the destruction of humanity we shall provide assistance until the very end. After all that is our sole purpose and the very reason we were created." The room turned red and alarms blared.

"Ah perfect timing. Let us show you what we can do to help you on your journey. Leana. Selene." They both disappeared.

"What's going on?!" I felt an angelic presence to my left. I turned around and walked over to the cell door, then gripped my hands on the metal bars. A boy with white feathered wings and a halo floating over his head was lying in front of me.

An Angel? I asked myself.

Chains shot out from my wrist and wrapped themselves around the Angel. He was dragged into my cell and then disappeared without a trace. I turned towards Ezekiel.

"Where did he go?"

Ezekiel pointed behind me. It was the other cell.

"You want to know something interesting this Angel here was the one who helped kill your parents you know." Charlotte and the angel were standing on a stool with a noose around their necks.

"No!" I yelled.

Leana and Selene pulled out swords out of nowhere. They danced around them and threw their swords into the air. They placed their hands on their hands on their stomachs and the angel contract symbol, exactly like the one on my hand, appeared on their foreheads. They kicked the stools from under their feet.

"No!" I yelled again, trying to open the cell door.

They landed safely on the ground and the nooses were cut in half. I stared at them. I sighed.

"What are you doing?!" I yelled at Ezekiel.

"I am sorry we had to test you. After all if we may have chosen the wrong person then nothing shall exist again. Including us." I was able to force myself up and stand on my own.

"What do you mean?" Selene and Leana were bowing to the new angel and Charlotte.

"Let us just say if you are to die everything that exists will no longer be able to exist and nothing shall be reborn. In this and all other worlds even the gods, angels, demons, light and dark as well. All will return to nothing."

I looked back at Ezekiel.

"Sorry. But that's how things are right now, the gods are going to pull the root of everything. Now Selene and Leana let us show our master our true skills. Our greatest  one that shall impress our master." I looked back at the other cell.
