Titans of the Current: Hands of God Edition

Part 8:1:1 Titans

"What is your name girl?"

"Nelly Lancar."

"Oh, a last name! That must mean your important haha! Listen Nelly I'm going to tell you this, only because I feel something inside of me. I'm not familiar with destiny, but is what you say is true, then you will need to know this....

Alrach was indeed slain by Etrius, but not without assistance. As the squall happened, Etrius was a bibliography at a prestigious university in Romania. It was actually partially underground, as it's research focus was religious discovery and phenomena. Generally they were just another cult minded archeology group. That never stopped Etrius though, he had the sword that allegedly belonged to king Arthur. Crazy I know, but that was got him started. He amassed a pretty good collectoin of artifacts, and he wanted to know the authenticity of them.

So he called my father. My old man and my mom were just as nuts as he was. My dad acted as a historical appraiser, he could map out the design for anything that existed on speculation. He could tell you the number of vertebrae in the hydra's spine, and the number of nails in Noah's ark.

Almost all of his connection were duds except four pieces. His sword, a lute, a book, and a petrified body.

He was ecstatic to find out his adventures were not in vain... But I sensed something strange about it all... I really did. That was a year before the squall.

The day of I was with my family on a hike through the geographical location of the garden of Eden. I myself was pretty fascinated with it all, but my parents and brother were absolutely livid at the though. That's when it began.

The cracks, the doves, the fire, all of it. White light shot from the ground as a voice screamed out to us. 'Children, I shall guide you to a safer land, if you have faith come with me. '

I knew right then.. It was Christ talking to us. "

"What! That's insane! What did he look like?"

"I don't know! Damn thing was covered in bright light. Anyways we ran to him. I could only imagine this was the rapture. But giant behemoths don't attack during the rapture. It was Alrach.... I remember it... The face of a delirious madman. Etched into a body of red stone. He had eyes like black crystal, and claws so sharp, they tore through space itself.

I followed my family to the light. When we reached it I felt something change."

He flaps his wings to show what he meant. He continues, "it was amazing: no pain, no fear.... Until... It happened. Alrach went for Christ himself. Angels tried to stop him in vain.. Yes, I watched the fall of Gabriel myself. His last attack managed to hit Christ itself. I remember the sight of his bright crimson blood hitting the ground. And I remember... Alrach.... Christ left with us at the last moment. My father was no where to be found. We had left him... I had to get him... My mother told me to stay but I left. And so did she... Only my brother stayed back as I and my mother rushed to my dad's aid.

He was gone by the time I got there. Alrach finished him. And then he came for us.... My mother sacrificed herself so I could get away... I never forgave my cowardice."

"Why do I need to know this? "

"Because let me finish, thank you very fucking much. I followed Alrach... He never noticed me. My wings turned gray overtime, because I left the grace behind. My new strength was incredible, but it would never match what I saw. Until Etrius came along....

He was different then. He stood straighter, smiled grimmer, and laughed with a dark tone.

With its mighty claws, Alrach sword at Etrius but missed. He tried repetitively to no eval. For some reason, Etrius couldn't be touched. Of course he couldn't beat Alrach either. His plan was to seal Alrach inside a sword. He was far too powerful to absorb... So Etrius instead used the sword to channel his his power into weakening Alrach. Each strike caused massive amounts of energy to leek into the world. However it wasn't enough.
