Grand Angel

Chapter 44: Last Stand

"I love you all." Remiel said.

She charged forward, moving with so much speed she nearly went invisible.

She moved past her siblings, none of which moved so much as an inch. Remiel dashed into the crowd of Humanity, sending them flying into the air.

Her wings went close to her body, moving faster as she dashed to Hadi, quickly grabbing her child and holding him close.

Her wings exploded outwards and sent more people flying.

The two small wings continued to try and cover her eyes, but she slapped them away as she pushed more of the Humans back.

She tried to fly up into the air, but she felt hundreds of hands grab hold of her and throw her back onto the ground.

Her wings rapidly tried to curl and cover her up like a cocoon, but the hands continued to pound and pull. Remiel screamed while she continued to hold Hadi tight and close to her chest.

Protecting her baby from the swarm of violence and blind, corrupted rage.

She screamed and her wings exploded outwards, sending people flying once again.

She threw her wings again to send people flying as the other Seraphs continued to stare at their Sister in silence.

"Are you alright my child?" Remiel asked.

Remiel turned, suddenly face to face to Raguel.

She gasped as her wings tried to shut, but Remiel suddenly felt a very violent punch to her chest, sending her flying back while still holding Hadi close.

Hadi began to cry as their bodies raced in the air, Remiel sliding across the stone temple with such force that her skin began to peel and tear away, leaving a trail of blood and flesh.

Remiel was grunting hard, struggling to get back to her feet, revealing heavily damaged wings.

She tried to make them flap, but it only made her scream in pure agony.

Feathers soaked in blood falling to the ground as she grit her teeth.

She looked down at Hadi, who was crying and covered in bruises.

A single cut leaking blood that ran down the smooth skin of her baby.

Remiel's eyes twitched.

She felt her heart beat grow faster and faster.

More erratic as she lifted her gaze. Staring through her wild and chaotic hair at her sister Raguel.

"You...hurt...my child." Remiel said.

Her wings were slowly beginning to move towards her face.

The intense and vibrant light from The Red was starting to affect her and her emotions.
Filling her body with growing intensity.

Blood that was on the verge of boiling and muscles growing as more and more adrenaline pumped through her veins.

Remiel felt her baby's hands lightly grab and scratch her body.

Whimpering but not crying yet.

Remiel looked down, already starting to feel her body grow calmer.

More at ease.

She lifted her gaze back to her siblings while the Humans were getting back to their feet.

Remiel looked back at the edge a few feet from her, her mind racing.

She turned back as Ash-Shaytān walked between the Seraphs, his head down and staring at the ground.

Ash-Shaytān lifted his sword up, resting it over his shoulder while his teeth were showing.
