Abel Magia & The Two Apprentices

Chapter 19 - Ugoki pronounced EW-GO-KI (editing)

Raziel and Abel had been travelling for several hours, since the encounter with the giants of the Arafa clan. They decided to stop on one of the many rolling hills for some respite and something to eat. The few supplies Nikita had packed for them would suffice, sure it wasn't a buffet but it would stave off the hunger for a few hours at least. Ham and chicken sandwiches with lettuce tomato and mayonnaise. Just what was needed both weary travellers thought.  

"Delightful," said Raziel chewing into his sandwich. 

"Yes indeed" Abel replied. 

Abel I have something to tell you something I should have probably told you whn we met

Oh said Abel do you remember when I told you God had given up his power

Yea.. Said Abl

God has given hiw power up to you, you are gods apprentice. You harbor the power of God within you. It is a very powerful identity. It was sealed within you when you were just an infant. It is my job to lets say, train you how to use this power without destroying the world." Raziel raised his brow.

Abel stopped. He looked down at his feet and then moved his eyes upwards what am I he thought. "Your having me on Raziel, What's the punchline"

"I wish I were joking, I really do. This is the main reason why the Ordo ob chao want you." Raziel muttered whose belated but blunt honesty shook Abel to the core. "

Abel decided that he had heard enough for now. He was trying to gather his thoughts. "Just one question" asked Abel.

"Sure" said Raziel glad to be of assistnce

"how come I have not known about this sooner. Me being Gods apprentice, and why does God need an apprentice I mean, why me? ."

"Gods power has laid dormant for years you turned 16 recently did you not? Most of your powers have laid dormant until now, aside from your ability to control wind and water. And why are you Gods apprentice? You ask my dear boy. well someone had to be the chosen one to leads Gods army and I guess that someone is you."

Wo. lead Gods army.

Yes said Raziel

I habve to train Angels

Heavens no said Raziel evolutionaries are Gods army

"just out of curisoity"Abel asked chweing as he spoke "where are we going?"

 "Why we are going to the house, where you were born," Raziel said quite simply

Abel almost choked hearing this. "Really!"  He said excitedly. Abel knew he was adopted by Job but he had always wondered about his real family. Not that Job didn't treat him like anything less than a son, but Job had never told him about his origins of which Abel longed to know. Job didn't know about Able's past."So I'm going home?" Abel eagerly asked.

"Yes Abel, you're going home." Raziel then pointed to a bridge in the distance just within eyeshot, "we have to cross the river and its a little further beyond that, the place you where you were born."

Grateful now that he knew where he was going Abel seemed re-energised he finished of scoffing down the last bite of his sandwich and packed up his belongings and the stood up. "Well will we motor on then," he said putting his backpack around his shoulders and striding in the direction of the bridge not wanting to waste a minute more.

"Eager," said Raziel.

"Yes, very" replied Abel rather excited now that he knew where Raziel was taking him. Raziel had a smirk on his face for once it was Abel happily leading the way. Beats him complaining Raziel thought.
