Last Son: Book One

Chapter 27 Old Church: Azurian Watcher and Samael's (Big Fight)

Samael stands in silence just for a moment, after hearing the aider's speech, and replies with an arrogant voice. "I choose my fate—no one decides for me." The aider came closer to Samael, placed his hands on Samael's right shoulder, and then Samael grabbed the aider's hand. "Son of the high priest, Azazel... you can't run from who you are." Samael is having a flashback, someone who said similar words but he does not want to live by the concept of that very statement. "Young man... becoming a priest or not. It's your fate to possess an item like this and it will make you grow." Samael's vision ends, he stands upright, arms folded, and has a prideful facial expression. "I'm not here to control your fate—neither is the [great light.] but we would like to see a perfect world again." Samael nodded, inhaling heavier as the darkness got thicker and cutting off his breathing. "Son of the high priest, Azazel... you can help us to accelerate this process of ending the war that is raging against humanity." Samael sighed and asked the aider, "What's your plan to end this war? And how do you know that I can be a big help in this fight?" The aider is staring at Samael's crisma amulet, pointing at him, and replies; "Your chain... that is around your neck. It's a sacred amulet—and you also have that thing in your pocket. The one that the [great light] gave you." Samael reached into his pocket, pulled out another amulet, gazed at the necklace with extra focus in his eyes, and said, "So what is this? And why did the [great light] give it to me?" The aider looked upon the new amulet that was given to Samael and explained the necklace's ability that just improved Samael's sword. "The necklace you now have—is an Azurian barrier. Which we call the [great light-barrier.] Now with that amulet... You can kill the Azurian fiends. The Pterodac sword you have—is now combined with the Azurian powers. The Pterodac sword is a replica of our Azurian sword's power to kill the Azurian fiends. The Pterodac sword can only duplicate the Azurian swords as long you possess the [great light barrier]." Samael is looking at his sword, swinging his sword onto his shoulders, and replies; "So my sword... it has Azurian powers?." The darkness gets thicker, and Samael is standing firmly in battle position, the aider supports Samael in this fight and leads him out of the area. "Alright—let's see if you are the one." The Azurian fiends come out of the black dim spheres, many come forth from the darkness, with their sharpest demonic Azurian blades, and then they both go to war against the fallen Azurians. Samael swung his sword, looking at the aider, and then replied as he used his teleportation technique. "I think... forget it!. I know what I am." The aider uses his force, which is welded inside his sword, great powers are shown as he is slaying these Azurian fiends. "Now it's our chance to flee!!! Before more of them show up." Samael is slaying these Azurian fiends while using his teleportation technique and tapping into his sword's new powers that are gifted from the [great light]. The pathway is cleared, and Samael and the aider flee from the darkness to the aiders' hideout. "Hurry!!! Before the others see you." Samael answered back, "What do you mean? And I thought we're going to end this—once and for all." The aider answered back, "The time has not come... son of high priest!." Samael followed the aider, The pathway that he led Samael to was further beneath the church underground and this place is a haven from the darkness. "This place... I'm taking you—is not too far." Samael answered back, "So this place... is it just you or are there others?." The aider answered back, "It's just me. The others... well let's just say—the others are dead." Samael is keeping his distance, following the aider from behind and then questioning the aider's testimony. "How did the others die?." The aider ceased for the moment, spoke with such grief in his heart, and then proceeded. "The others—are dead by the powers of the [great darkness] and now the darkness is forming a new army." Samael questioned the aider's statement, "What new army?" Samael then shouted once again; "What new army!" The aider came to a complete stop, then spoke with a soft voice, and proceeded forward to the haven. "The new army is a recreate of your kind. The powers of the [great darkness] already have ruled your world but only the [great light] delays the darkness... because only the darkness has possessed the minds of humanity—but the heart of humans remains as pure... pure in heart." The aider and Samael have arrived at the haven. Samael is following from behind, looking around the area to find anything that he can hold the aider responsible for his suspicious act of silence. Samael then questions the aider, "Why the silence all of a sudden? It's like you were expecting to see someone here." The aider is standing near the wall, then he starts to laugh and places his right hand over some sort of name that is carved into the wall. "Sister." Samael shouted at the aider, made his way closer to the aider, and questioned the aider for his reasons for bringing him here to the Azurians' haven, "What did you say!?. And why did you bring me here? I'm not planning to hide—especially when the world is in its worst condition right now." The aider answered back, "That's why I bring you here." Samael stopped then replied; "what do you mean?." The aider turned around, looking straight up at Samael, drawing out his sword slowly to ensure that Samael understood the untold story about the chosen one who will defend his kind and others as long he is ordained by the [great light]. The darkness enters the Azurians' haven, Samael draws his sword, and the aider quickly teleported by his right side. "Son of high priest!!! You must go and prove yourself to the Azurian gods. I will fend off the fallen Azurians... now go!." The aider pointed Samael the way, as Samael departed, the aider called upon the gods and opened a portal through the walls. "Now go!!! I can't keep this portal open for too much longer." Samael proceeded to the portal, looking back at the aider and then he entered the great light portal that leads him to another realm. What will Samael face in this realm? The aider spoke to Samael before he entered the portal but what does he mean? "Son of high priest!!! You must go and prove yourself to the Azurian gods." Is Samael going to be approved by the Azurian gods or will he suffer the mighty Azurian gods' wrath? Now the aider closes the portal, Samael is walking in complete darkness and then he stands in an odd statue that resembles the one in his dreams and visions as he obtained the Azureus orb.
