Molgulis, he torments my minds for weeks now. He drains me of my powers and torn off my wings. In Molgulis' castle, there is a very wide empty room that is always cold. At the center lies the Great Viel, a tall stone pointed archway that looked so ancient. And it is a portal to the pocket dimension that the painting that holds Mobius prisoner rest, the portal been closed for centuries. But Molgulis believes I'm the key to reopening it, the magical tree that I was chained upon, it was draining my life force and transferring it to the Great Viel. The portal could only open if my lifeforce was drained entirely, but it wasn't.
If it was drained entirely, I would have been dead. Never before have I felt the pain like the one I was feeling right now, right now I was feeling like I was in Hell damned to feel an endless amount of pain. I'm dying, I have only a matter of weeks before I take my last breath. Earth if where I'm destinated to meet my demise and to meet my twin brother. Most people on this little blue planet go through life thinking the worst things that happen are what they see on the 5 O' clock news each night. And that's a good thing. Knowing that there are other terrors lurking in the dark of night, terrors as old as man himself--would make life unlivable for them. Luckily, they are not without protectors. The league of angels been around for million of years, they watched as God created the first man, Adam. They protected him, and those who came after him. For centuries the angels of God been watching mankind's every move, they protect them from evil forces. Yet they get no credit for their good job. Humans are unable to see angels and their gorgeous cities, the reason is not because they are unworthy. The reason is because God doesn't want them to know the truth just jet, faith is the bridge to a new world. Have faith, when you do not give up on your faith, your eyes will open to the truth. You will be able to see God's gorgeous messengers and agents, you will be able to see the creatures in the invisible world. The Original Sight, it is a sight that the first man possessed. It allows him to see the creatures in the invisible world, and communicate with animal plus more. When Adam consumed the forbidden fruit, on that day he lost the Original Sight became he was twisted to eat the Forbidden.
Same humans, through the pure force of will and because of their faith, they receive the Original Sight. Saints and Martyr were gifted with the Original Sight because of their faith in God, the sight allowed them to resist the devil's temptation and with the Original Sight they are able to see the truth and lies in people. They can see the unseen with that sight, and they can reveal and cast out evil spirit out of a pure soul with just a glare. The Original sight has been forgotten for centuries, almost no human being or supernatural being knows it exists. Only I know of its existence because I possess the sight, I received the Original sight when God chose me to be the protector of earth, man's leader among the angels, the chosen one. The Ra' El soul is what make God's chosen one special, it's a special soul God made for his chosen ones. It has multiple hosts over the years, am just the current one. It gives me great powers and a long life spent, with it I can do anything I imagine, the limits to its power are on the host himself.
When my life force was being drained by the Life-force Taker tree, I could barely move. I couldn't even think straight or call my friends to come to help him, even if I did call, they were busy taking care of the big stuff.
Wisdon and Everlu, when they abandoned their quest to come and rescue me; they spend two days on Skycity plotting an assassination game. They had enough of Molgulis' threats, and now they were plotting to assassinate him. They plot this assassination in the castle of the formal comrade Gimriel, he died long ago, disintegrated by the mysterious Black Priests. After his death, his castle was turned into a ministry of some kind, Wisdon and Everlu use his castle now as a base of operation. While they were plotting a dangerous game in that castle, they were unaware of the floating eyeball watching them through the open window of the room they were seated in. That eyeball, Alcmena Estrange was seeing through it. She was hiding in the shadows outside the castle, she was sent by Molgulis to gain intel on Wisdon and Everlu. He hoards everything that they were plotting, and so she came up with a decision. She decided to ambush them, she wore a cloak made of shadow, it allows her to blend in shadows and to summon shadow creatures and monsters. Before she could ambush Wisdon and Everlu, she used her magical cloak to summon an army of shadow monsters and demons.
" The two freaks inside that castle are plotting to assassinate my master," she said to them," take them down now!"
The army that she summoned, they all charge inside the castle and made their assault against Wisdon and Everlu.
Everlu draws his sword and charges to strike Alcmena's shadow army, Wisdon he used E'Gruin to defend himself. He held it in his right hand, in his left he wields Stormbreaker, and he was using it to general lightning and strike the shadow monsters. It was midnight, there was a full moon. Alcmena Estrange was outside, watching as his army ruin Gimriel's castle. There wasn't enough room to fight inside the castle, Wisdon and Everlu brought the fight back outside the castle. That why they can have more space, that why they can use huge energy attacks without damaging Gimriel's castle. A Hundred angels assist them, when they came, the shadow creatures and demons paused behind Alcmena waiting for her to give an order of attack.
" Who are you, and why do you attack us?" Wisdon asks.
" My name is Alcmena Estrange," she introduces herself to them.
" I'm a member of the Brotherhood of the Five, am known to be a lunatic. I was sent under the orders of Molgulis to gain intel on you two, I heard everything you were plotting inside the castle. I love my master, and I can't let the two of you destroy him. On this day you will taste my blade, it will bring your death. My children, attack!"
She raises her sword in the air, and order her army to make their assault. They charge at Wisdon, Everlu, and the angels that assist them. The two army charge at each other, a small battle was fought. Wisdon and Everlu fought bravely, but when you're facing an army that replenishes it ranks easily and doesn't understand the concept of collateral damage, you're at a fundamental disadvantage. Shadows demons, they came in waves. Attacking Wisdon and Everlu and the angels that assist like a rabid, like halfwit dogs. Their claws became corporeal upon touch and easily rent flesh, they can create shadows around themselves and phase through solid things.
Wisdon was absorbing how their power work as he fought them, he discovered their weakness. Shadow demons can't exist in the light, Wisdon discovered that thanks to the moonlight. When the moonlight shone upon one of the demons that he was fighting, the demon faded. When Wisdon discovered their weakness, he used El'Gruin to general a flare of light. All the shadow demons that Alcmena summons, they were vanquished. Wisdon turns off the flare after, but Alcmena wasn't happy because of the act he committed.
" You are vexatious," she said to him with a mean look on her face," I think it's about time you feel grief."
Before she could even do anything, she was caught my surprise. Metatron, he appeared behind her smoothly without making any sound. He grabs her arms and used a cursed chain to chained up both of her arms, when she try to use her magic to push Metatron away she couldn't.
" You are powerless," Metatron said to her," that chain that I bound you with. It's a cursed chain designed to hold people, do not try to use your magic. The chain, it prevents you from using your magical ability. Right now you're as weak as a mortal woman, the chain will suck your magic slowly every time you try to use it to escape."
He took her inside the castle for interrogation, Wisdon and Everlu enter the castle with him. Inside the interrogation room, Metatron, Wisdon, and Everlu began to question her, they were prepared to use violence to make her talk and get everything they want from her. They were armed, they held weapons that Angelguards uses to torture prisoners. Alcmena, everything Metatron ask her a question she would say nothing. She would just look at him and laugh, Metatron uses his angel touch to make her feel pain. The witch would not break even as she's being tortured, she seems to enjoy being tortured. Every time Metatron makes her feel great pain, she does not shed tears; instead, she would laugh like a mad woman and screams " whoo! and laugh again.
" You think making me feel pain would break me and make me talk," she said," do your worse. I will never spill the Brotherhoods of the Five secrets to you, I will not break."
" Oh you will," said Metatron preparing to use different methods. This time he calls the Angel of Death over, he carved a pentagon on the ground and summons Azrael the Angel of Death. When he appeared, Alcmena's face changed. He heart began beating very fast, she was petrified. Metatron sensed that she was fearful, he glares at her and said.
" I told you will talk," he said," Azrael is good at his job. He knows his stuff, he knows how to make people talk."
" Why did you summon me here?" Azrael asked.
" This witch, I need you to make her fear so she can talk," said Metatron.
Azrael, he walks toward Alcmena. He paused two inches away from her, after that he summons his flaming sword.
" Witch, talk!" he said with a grim voice.
" Answer all the questions my friends here ask you if you if you do not operate, I will let this sword decide your fate."
" I will operate, I will answer any question you wish me to answer,"
Metatron came over and stood beside Azrael, the first question he wanted Alcmena to answer was if I was still breathing back at Mount Ghazi Dōo.
" Your chosen one is still breathing," said Alcmena," but he will not last for long. Last time I saw him he was being tied up at the trunk of Nyggdrasil, a magical tree inside Molgulis' castle that has the capability to absorb the life-force of living beings. Johnesis is tied up at the trunk of Nyggdrasil, his life force is being drained. Soon he will live this world, there is no saving him."
" I do not believe that," said Metatron distress.
" He will be liberated, take me to Mount Ghazi Dōo."
" No, I can't. You must understand, what you are asking for can lead to my demise. If I reverse summon you there I will be banished and restrain of my powers, Molgulis will penalize me."
" Are you certain of that?" Azrael ask.
" It's not him that you need to fear now, it's me Azrael the angel of death. You will accept what my friend here as asked of you if you deny, I will use my flaming sword to sent your ass to Hell. Consider that a threat, now tells me your call."
He put his flaming sword next to her throat, and wait to hear if she has decided to take Metatron to Mount Ghazi Dōo.
" I will take you," she said to Metatron," but promise me you will protect at any cast?"
" You have my word," said Metatron. He snaps his fingers, when he did, the chain that bound Alcmena's hands together disappeared. Alcmena, she stood and summons her witch staff. Her staff has a length of twisted willow surmounted by a blackened iron crow, between whose wings rests a red crystal orb, one filled with swirling mists or no orb at all. When she held the staff she used it to carve a pentagram looking sigil, after that she call Metatron over and told. He came over and stood before her, a golden gleaming scroll appears between them alongside a quill.
" Take the quill and write your name on the scroll," said Alcmena.
Metatron grabs the quill and signed his name on the scroll, which was floating. After he signed it, the summoning contract scroll burst into flames and faded.
" It is done," said Alcmena," now I can reverse summon you to Mount Ghazi Dōo without a problem. Stand behind, and put your hand on my shoulder."
Metatron did just that, he stood behind her and put his hand on her shoulder.
The sigil beneath their feet began to gleam, an hour later, Alcmena spins her staff around at a very fast speed. Soon the two were reverse summoned to Mount Ghazi Dōo, Azrael, Everlu, and Wisdon stay behind in Gimriel's castle.
Azrael is a busy angel, he did not stay in the castle for long. He return back to Hell to do his job, he helps dying people make the transition from Earth to the afterlife, and he comforts people who are grieving the death of a loved one. He is not wicked, nor does he wants to kill his brethren, he just likes to make their life a living Hell. He likes to make his brothers suffer, and feel agony. Before he became the angel of death, he was the chieftain of the Destroyer angels ( They are like deities of destruction, they wield chaos magic, destructive magic.). Azrael was also the final plague of the ten plagues that God unleashed upon Egypt, causing the deaths of the firstborn children of Egypt but sparing the lives of the Hebrews. Azrael has the respect of many dukes of Hell, long ago when Metatron imprison Lucifer in Lucifer's Cage, the dukes of Hell were gonna crown Azrael the new heir to the throne of Hell, but Baal steps up and took the crown. Azrael did not fight back to get the clown back, instead, he just let it happen.
He didn't care, he doesn't like being a king. He is not a king, but he is not without an army. He has many legions on his command, Reapers are his most loyal servants. Reapers are collectors of souls, the messengers of the dead and most important of all the guides that came to all mortals. It was not the Reaper's place to judge souls, nor was it the entity's role to aid or hinder mortal affairs. Put simply the Reaper's task is to appear to the dying and guide them to their final destination where they would be judged accordingly by higher powers.Reapers are completely neutral beings, not caring for deals, fate or even each other at times, all they care about is maintaining "Natural Order" of life and death. The only being in the universe they care for is Azrael, they consider him a father figure.
Azrael is the angel of death, but he does not embody it. Lady Death is the embodiment of death and the entity of death itself. She is the true queen of Hell, she lives in a pocket dimension in Hell. She appears, and the next day you will not see her again, the Lords of Hell take orders from her.
