To Assassinate an Angel

Chapter Fifteen - L'Angelic dilemma

       

Kingdom  of Heaven

Lucifer flew passed the golden gates towards his brothers where they had gathered above the shining pool.  There was an atmosphere of anxiety surrounding them, permeating their whole being.

Brothers!

Samiel and Raziel turned their heads to the Fallen One and tilted their heads.

What is it?

It's happening...do you see...the blood of the sky...

We see it...Raphael...lost his cool...

Raziel shivered.  I didn't think he had it in him...at least not as Pierre...

Lucifer growled low, his black eyes like gimlets in their sockets.  You should not underestimate your brother's power...

Raziel shook his head.  Then darkness passed across his face and he moved to look into the pool, the scene changing and a black cloud spiralling across the view.  The younger angel scowled deeply.

Something's wrong...

Samiel stiffened and floated a little higher, anxiety shining in his intense blue gaze.  He had also seen what Raziel had and it was definitely cause for worry.

What is he planning...?

Who?

Your incarnation...that CSS agent...

Lucifer rubbed at his cheek and squinted slightly.  It doesn't look pretty...that cloud...

Samiel shivered visibly.  The others noticed.  It was unusual for an angel to react in such a manner; they were normally above the emotional reactions that were the defining feature of the human race. 

Samiel?

The blue-eyed angel breathed deeply.  I think it's time I made my presence stronger down amongst the mortals.  Things are about to happen that I do not believe my incarnation will be able to cope with alone.

The Fallen One frowned.  Raphael is down there though...

Oui.  And he needs his twin soul by his side in his complete form...I must undo the split...

Raziel's aura glowed brightly.  Then go, with my blessing, if not Lucifer's...

Lucifer laughed.  Imagine that...blessings from the Devil.

The people do not understand the truth.  We fallen ones have been vilified for long enough, I say we take back our power and lay it at the Almighty's feet...and the only way to do that is for me to reunite with my mortal incarnation.  Give him a boost...

Lucifer sighed, bowing his head.  So, no more dreams for Pierre?

Samiel stretched his muscles.  Caesar will be good for those...

A sudden flare of golden light beside the pool caught the three angels' attentions.  As the light faded, the large predator was crouching there staring at them.  Raphael's twin soul blinked.

Speak of the spirits...

Caesar bared his pearl-like canines.  There will be no more dreams...I'll be going to Raphael...it is almost time...The large cat's voice rumbled dangerously in his throat.  Samiel nodded.

We'll both go. He glanced at the other angels.  Wish me luck...

Lucifer laughed, eyes sparking dangerously.  You need no luck, go...and be done with it...
