The Journey of The Saints

Part 11

I felt my heart pounding, and A cold sweat as I entered and found myself In Exmoor.
"...I'm glad..I'm glad we came from the Angel realm.." Whispered Pom. She was actually holding on to me, almost as if she seemed scared.
"Why?.." I hear Tayla say under her breath. "I did my research on places like these. The reason I'm glad we have the Angels and Great one is because I heard this place has Ghost stories. People also found bones of children in baskets.." She slowly took off her glasses to wipe them. I felt a Chill. I didn't see any spirits. But I guess I Didn't want to risk it. "It's rare for people to see Both Angels and souls together today anyway..." Pom saids as she slowly pulled me. "Purification Stations are in Hot Springs, Arkansas ."
"Purification?" Tayla asked. "Yeah..Again like demons..Spiritual places are moved. Purification stations can be anywhere. Angels can use them anytime..But..Again, Demons Can disguise themselves as beautiful things. Of course beautiful things do exist...But Angels are rarely seen with them because they don't get along with other entities. It's because of How much Demons Trick people. So guards are always up.."
I thought about that. It was sad, I thought about many spiritualists or new agers. They think they are Talking to their dead Ancestors or something..Yet it could be fake. Especially the ones who scam people. Maybe it makes sense that they are demons. Still, it was sympathetic.
"Well" I gulped. "What about the Pit?"
I know, worst thing I brought up. "Tayla no evil espaces judgment. No one who goes to the pit, comes out. Any malevolent entity that Calms to be human..Isn't considered Human on Divine Level"
I didn't like that. I was starting to not like any of this. Again, it made sense. Barachiel looked human. Why not demons too?..
"Where are these things?.." Muttered Raelle. It Almost spooked me because she was silent this whole time. Everyone just held on to each other still. I looked over at Raelle. She didn't look the same, and especially after fighting demons in that field...She seemed more like a frightening archangel.
Yet she stared at me, as If I looked like it.
"Delilah..can we talk?" She asked. The other finally let go. "Yeah..Yeah of course. What's wrong?" I say. The others go ahead of us to search.
"Delilah ..I'm not so sure about this. I..I hope We never go to Hot Springs, Arkansas..I-"
"You —why?"
"Delilah..I'm still scared. I'm scared to see if My mother would be there"
I was completely shocked. "After all..I also heard Souls can take Years if Not millennials... to get out of Purification.."
I gulped. I haven't thought about that. I haven't thought about the possibility of Seeing My father there too..
I almost felt like crying..
I looked at the Floor. No longer seeing the Dagger Marks of the Angel Zadkiel.
"...Hey..Yeah hey..It's ok..You don't have to worry. Surely..We can just Trust Not all would be bad even if you see her?...look, I'm sorry. I don't know what to say.." I Muttered. She weakly smiled. "Yeah..I guess..Thank you"
And she slowly walked ahead of me. I had to pick up my pace. "...Is she going to be alright?" Tayla surprisingly asked me. "As if you care? What were you thinking?" I say. I Wish my voice wasn't as rough as intended. Tayla frowned at Me for a second,
"You know My Grandmother back at home would tell me stories about her guardian angels who used to keep her safe when she lived in Mexico..."
"Oh!..Really?" I Say. "Yeah I know it sounds random. But I wish I was more Interested. She told me, They always talked to the other Guardian angels in Talpa De Allende Pilgrimage. Always on patrol."
"...Woah" Is all I can say. It sounded cool, but again. So terrifying.
"Why..Why tell me this?"
"It could be possible there is something over there..I'm not sure. Maybe my parents souls could have gone back to see if My Grandmother still
Lived there..Or for Purification. So I actually understand." She mumbled.
"..Yeah..Yeah" Is all I Say, "We can figure it out. But right now. We must save this world and the other one."
I almost didn't realize how off that sounded. Like my voice no longer had the same tone. But I kept talking. "...Say, Did You And Pom ever had to face off demons with the Angel Iameth?"
She shook her head gently, "No. But we did once have to look for a demon Near and In the Nine saints Church of Ethiopia...Pom..She was getting signals of Strong demonic Activity..In fact..I felt something grab me and nearly pushed me off the mountain. The man..He whispered "Your Wedding Day will be as Beautiful as You falling off This .."
I almost was tempted to laugh. Yet I know it was serious. I shook my head,
"Did..You find the demon?"
"Delilah you already know the answer to that...We left as soon as possible"
Ah. Once Again, not sure how I feel. Pom Finally stopped.
We all did.
"What's Wrong?.." Nervously Asked Raelle.
"There Right There" put her hands in her coat pocket. She looked up.
"Where I don't Oh My-" Raelle looked up. We all saw it. The Pillars were Literally Pillars of Air (Someone get Eda to stop laughing. I wasn't finished). The Pillars of Air were Beautiful cloud like and Sparkly (Yes, sparkly Air). When I touched them I thought I go through..Yet they were Hard as actual stones. I Almost cried because I thought of My father. I Remember He use to tell me, "Honey..When You are ever down or
Stressed. Remember to take a deep breath, look at the trees. And breathe in the fresh air."
I decided to do that. I thought it was the least I can do. To Honor My father, to honor the people who care for the environment and Don't Pollute the air (I seem to use "Air" a lot).
"...It's beautiful.." Whispered Raelle. I was able to see that she was still the same girl back in school.
"..Yeah..Well..What do we do now?" Asked Tayla.
"We need to remove it..Carry It back." Pom tells us.
"We can't carry that. Do you have something to move it?" I asked her. "No..But I heard..We only need a little piece to carry. However, if we take it out. It will grow into the same size..So we can't open it until we make it back.."
"Don't we have to pay?" I ask.
"Heh, no. To buy something in the Angel realm isn't the same as buying something from here. Reason for it is, Money Can Corrupt. It's been harder to buy things, that's why Poverty is such a massive Problem in the Angel realm. The Demon Mammoth, he ain't just the average Hustler. He is the epitome of appalling Greed" (No suprise).
She takes out a small Crucifix and places it on the Pillar. The Pillar began to shake but it stayed still. Once it was done shaking, she released the crucifix and placed it back into her pocket.
"That..was easy" Tayla Noted.
"Well, what can we say? If it has a little, it's worth more." I tell them. Then I heard someone appear behind me. I saw Barachiel,
"Where were You?" I Say. Not surprised by his presence. No one was,
"I ..I" He cleared his throat, "I was preparing for battle. We must head back"
"How did you know we were here?" I crossed my arms.
"I was given the news. Come. I will lead you back to the Holy lands"
