Aekhem

"Where were you?" he asked to the female Angel coming fast to him.

"You are in no position to ask questions Lacjner" Abigail said "you have a lot to answer" flying down, wings extended.

Lacjner felt like yelling at her and question her unexpected bravado act. They could all have ended up killed. But at the same time, he felt some kind of pride. To see one of his descendants in the form of an Angel. He imagined Dregnar felt the same when Aekhem became one the first time. From child to Angel.

"First, you have to tell me what were you thinking when you did what you did, you could have gotten all of us killed. We must communicate more. You can't act on your own, you have to tell me first what you're planning. You don't have the experience, you are new at this and you might be my descendant but you act more and more like Bechner; reckless, daring, ..."

"Who is Liknal?" she interrupted him and Lacjner went quiet.

His expression changed. Memories of a long time ago war. Angels casted away, condemn to live in another world, below a different world. They became dark beings, evil, only wanting more evil, destruction, vileness, and Liknal was in charge of all of them. The traitor Angel, the coward Angel, the lying Angel, all to get what he wanted. Once he learned Angels could have children with women, he knew the same feelings could be spread among humans.

"Lacjner, answer me, who is Liknal?" Abigail insisted.

"Come, help me with Aekhem, he's wounded but not severly" he said.

Abigail came closer, she looked at his pale face, he had lost a lot of blood. She felt attached to that Angel who only wanted good for humans. She knew about being an Angel, but Aekhem was beyond them. The Angels were false. Aekhem had more purity and good intentions towards humans than all of them or most of them.

"How can I help?" she said, a little nervous. Aekhem did not look good.

"Just put your hand on top of the shoulder wound and I will do the same with the one in his back ... clear your mind, do not think at all, just imagine Aekhem as you want to see him. Get rid of your human side and feel as an Angel ... that's it, breathe, easy. Forget about everything you just saw and think of Aekhem and his well being. Wish for everything good towards him ... that's right. Open your eyes, see what you are doing. Let the light flow through your hands, do not confuse it with your shine ... that's it, we are almost there, a little more, that's it ... ready!. Remove your hand now, do it now!"

Abigail could not take her hands from Aekhem's enlightened body, from his wound. Aekhem's body started to lighten up and hers was fading away. Lacjner pushed her with his two arms and she felt about ten yards away to the floor. She wanted to get up but she was too weak.

"Stay down, you stubborn Angel, learn how to do things as I teach you. You gave him a lot of you. There was no need. Now you must rest and recover" that's the last thing she heard.

She closed her eyes and lost herself in a dream, in a flight, in a memory, in her life, and what made sense and what had lost sense.

When she opened her eyes, her body was dark as night, and there was a dark shine surrounding her. She was curious about this new transformation. This Angel body was amazing. She wondered what she could do with her body. Change it from darkness to light, white, grey, and as she thought it she was changing. Interesting, she thought.

She listened to a conversation that was heating up between Aekhem and Lacjner. She turned to them. She heard Lacjner telling Aekhem:

"It's useless. They won't listen to us. I don't know why I'm going. I should stay with you two. You need me" and then flew away.
