chapter 4 We All Have a Past

Chapter 4

Mackenzie was 5 when the Lampreys were unleashed upon the pack lands in the Northern continent area. He witnessed his family murdered, as well as his pack in their village. He and a few other pups escaped the massacre when they were saved by a beautiful winged creature. She left the pups well hidden in caves near the coastal cliffs. 

"We must be very quiet" she whispered,as she grasp their hands. She was beautiful he thought as the terror receded from his body. Her eyes where the darkest brown cocoa with black rings, so warm and soft. Her hair so black almost blue like the feathers of a rayven. Her skin glowed a golden warmth of light. To his young eyes she was beyond beautiful. More beautiful then the moon.  He could tell she was tall like his father even though she was bent over him and the other five cubs. Oh my fates, my father his mind cried. He witnessed three extremely tall,muscular men, not a men, something else... with shiny  ebony scales and long black hair grabbing his strong father in his wolf form. His father was a warrior and hunter, he fought off this strange looking creatures until he was grasp tightly by their claws, sucking the life out of his father. It had looked like a kiss and hug until his father's body crumpled like paper as his life force was taken. She must have felt his fear and his body stiffen. Her wings enclosed the cubs like a warm cocoon as she lifted them up from the ground behind their pack house. Mackenzie felt her warmth radiating and him and his pack mates slumped in her arms. 

"You have disobeyed daughter." a small girl of sixteen angel years with shiny black hair stared at her small bare feet. Tears welling up in her eyes. An older angel crouched next to her gathering her tears in a small crystal jar. Angel tears are powerful, a hybrid's tears even more so. A blinding light and fire strolled closer to her, She felt his warmth envelope her, his love. "Elisheva, you are my very own. Why would you disobey my Father's law, it is for our kinds protection." She prostrated herself, knowing he would not want to hear excuses. He was known for his compassion, and loving forgiveness, but also his anger when his patience wore thin. "My Great and Compassionate Haven Father, please forgive your useless child"

"Why Elisheva? Why did you do these things. I can not let this pass, you are setting a precedence. Your Greatest Father is not pleased."

"I know my Great Father, I accept my punishment for my disobedience." He couldn't help feel proud of his daughter. She was spirited, compassionate and brave. She made no excuses and bravely accepting of her death. "I have decided to let you spend your life in servitude on Earth's plane. I am stripping you of your angelic abilities and you traveler wings. You will serve in a human bound form until you prove yourself worthy to be called my child again. Do you have anything to ask?"

"Yes Father, what will become of the were cubs I protect. Will they not die without a guardian? Then my sacrifice will be for naught. And what about Shivah, he will try to find me and die too."

"What are you asking" he smiled in his brilliance of light, she was brave, his child, even in the face of death.

"Father let me come in their time of need to protect them."

"You may, you will be human, no angelic powers, but inflicted with human free will and imperfections. So even when they need you, you may not be able to save them since you will not have memories of who you really are, only your human life. But because I want you safe, you will have your hybrid powers and you will keep your  immortal soul. No matter how many times you die, you will be reborn in your form. I want you home, so prove yourself worthy in your lives."

"Thank you Father. I will make you proud. I want to come home to you." She kneeled in front of him as he branded her with the name he had given her at her birth and the symbol of his blessing. She usually didn't wear wings, only for trips to Terra and sometimes sight seeing on Earth or one of the other planets. Since she was a hybrid, she didn't natrually have wings, materializing them to travel.

"Convince Shivah not to share in your punishment. If he truly loves you, he will wait for your soul to return. No matter how many lives it takes. Otherwise I will not show him the same patience I have for you, my wayward daughter." His teasing tone belied his warning. Elisheva knew he meant it. "You have until dawn's music to have your affairs in order."

"Yes my Father." Her eyes closed until she reached the great hall. She quickly looked up and met his "eyes" and smiled. "I love you Father." and turned to go find Shivah.

How did this happen?, he knew what had happened. War was brewing in Haven. The Dark Guardians thought him uncaring, uninterested in day to day angelic affairs. They were trying to find more angels to fight against him and his Father and his loyal angels, Shivah proved himself loyal, he refused to turn traitor and had tried to protect Elisheva.  "Shivah, you will find her and help protect her in her human form. You will continue to cross her path in each life journey until she returns home to Haven. You will return when she does." The Light took Shivah's soul out of his broken angelic body and put it in a special human woman's womb. "I give you a blessing Shivah, protect my daughter with everything you are."

Taking Elisheva's broken body he stripping her of her angelic powers, so no dark guardians would sense her. The Light gathered her in his warm arms and cradled her to his chest. He put her soul in the womb of a good and loving human woman on earth and hoped the guards he sent with her would be able to keep his daughter safe.
