The Journey of The Saints

Part 3

Barachiel Flipped his hair, "I know, not so Original but it's all we had really" he muttered, "There was no better time to tell you that anyway" He shrugged. "....What-"
"What?"
"You're an Angel"
"Yes"
"As in I'm in the good place?" I say. "No, well, the good place doesn't have flesh. You still have your human flesh."
"Oh"
"It's merely where angels just meet up Every time we think of becoming humans from higher planes of Existence"
"Ah-"
"Now" He clapped, "I'm not sure how the public will react to humans being here-
"Humans?! As there is more of us here?"
"Uh no it's been a While since we had any Human Realm Contact Or Affairs "
"When was the last time you had contact?"
He got a nervous expression. But shook it off, "During the Reign of King Solomon."
"King Solomon," I say. "Mhm"
"As in the guy from, like the Bible"
"That's Correct"
"Gosh I'm losing my mind. I'm sorry, are you saying that King Solomon was real?"
"Well..yes..Well at least his stories are real"
"Stories..As in what?"
"Well the Stories of Him being able to Bid demons..His Testament"
I felt my face twist, "Are you—"
"Yes Delilah, I'm saying you may have the same power. Just like Solomon, could you bind Powerful demons"
Well that was a far stretch, me? Controlling demons, no way.
"No. Haha, no, Angels? King Solomon? Dude I'm not even religious. Ain't No way-"
"Oh but you must be able to. Otherwise your Friends wouldn't be so worried"
"My friends? Hold up—"
"Delilah, you aren't the only person to step into the Angel realm"
"I thought you said you guys haven't had any-"
"We did! That's in us being contacted by the human realm. Not us contacting the humans. In fact we do that all the time."
"Holy moly so all those mysterious stories of People being saved by angels-" I spoke under my breath. "Yes. Uh a good amount or some of them are true. Yes"
"And my friend. My friend was also hit! Do you—"
"No. I don't know where she or the others are but One thing I do know. Is that if they were hit just like you, It's most likely the Dog angels Brought them here too"
"Gosh..why though?"
He began to walk away, I followed him.
"As I said, you guys weren't the first one to be Contacted or Brought by the Dog angels. There were these Kids..Called Aradia and Lorcan"
"...Aradia and Lorcan. Wait a minute those kids were at my school"
"And?"
"They..were kidnapped..oh.OHH—"
"Mhm. Just as I was Sent to Protect you—My acquaintance Jophiel was sent to protect them. However, the trial and errors were too hard. So she asked to borrow my Staff and Basket of Life bread"
"Life bread" I Almost chuckled. The Angel frowned. "Bread of Life. Fine, yes it sounds funny but that's what it is called and is. Eesh, you children are immature." He remarked.
That kinda hurt. "—The kids were never to be seen again. Not to mention Jophiel and I haven't been good Terms because she ended up losing my Staff and Basket."
"And what, you need someone to help you find it?"
"That would be delightful. Yes."
"Well sorry Dude , you picked the wrong girl."
I say and Turned away, "What if I help you then?"
"What?"
"I help you find your Friends and find a way to send you back to the Human realm safely."
I looked around, the place was beautiful; "...Are you sure?"
"What do You mean?"
"I mean..not going to lie, this is pretty neat..And ..Life back home with Mom actually stinks"
I say and Sit back down on the bluegrass, seeing the Horizon of the City.
"..it always Sucked Since Dad Died A year Ago"
Barachiel sat beside me, but thank goodness he wasn't too close. "I'm very sorry for that. I don't know what to say to comfort..Us angels..We don't think about death..We can't-"
"Yeah..I get it..You guys don't die" I say. And look at him in his aura. Not realizing I potentially got the creeps about How Young he looks but actually how old he can be...

"Whatever. Good, you shouldn't know.." I say. And got up, "You guys won't shame me or like, something on the lines of that?"
"What no, why would you think such a thing?"
"I don't know. I'm just thinking maybe I can go my own way"
"Delilah I just said I'm meant to protect you"
"Protect me from - oh yeah that shadow.."
I sighed,
"As in demons, are you suggesting?"
"Delilah, you need to find my Basket"
"What- Now?"
"Yes. But you also have to find your friends"
"What- first, not all of them are my friends. Second- I mean ok but- clearly this won't be hard.."
He went silent. I got nervous, "this ..won't be hard right?"
And of course it was going to be hard. I find myself in Barchiel's basement looking at many Soldier like maps folded out in front of me.
"Ok, If a Demon Comes you-"
"Hold on! Hold on! Cut the music. I'm only 14. I have no idea how to fight or how to even defend myself."
"Then I will teach you. You can join the Armies of Matesmoth. Or Angels of Matesmoth"
