Of Angels and Demons: Ragnarok

A Powerful Stranger

Angel, explain to me what happened during that fight. Please. I think with my eyes closed as I hear my angel sigh. "Alright. Well to start off, your body couldn't handle the amount of energy that was flowing through you. I'm not sure where I came from, or how old I am. But I know I'm stronger than the demon gods and the celestials. But I can't give you anywhere near all my energy or you would die. Valora was trying to kill you and you could no longer handle my energy. I manifested myself just long enough to end the fight. All I did was overpower Valora and knock her out." My angel says as I open my eyes. "Hey, Azura?" I mumble as she looks at me. "How do I get stronger to handle more energy flowing through me?" I ask as she stares at me. "Well, the fastest way is to absorb energy from other beings. It will gradually increase how much power you can handle." She says as she stands up. "But those types of skills are truly disgusting. Killing something normally is fine, but killing them by draining them of their life force is just cruel. Energy is what flows through to give all creatures the ability to move, think, and basically just survive." Azura says as I feel dark energy flow around her. "When you take their energy, you take their soul. And to me, that just seems so disgusting." Azura says. "Man, she's scary. Right, Kai?" I hear Zen say. I quickly look over and see him sitting up. "So, I feel like shit. I'm not sure I like Valora." Zen says jokingly. "Well, at least you're alive." I say as Azura walks over and inspects him. "Just as I thought. With Valora, you'll always heal extremely fast." Azura says as she smiles. "Right, Kai." She says as she looks to me. "I want you to go back to the human world and resume your regular life for now. I'm going to put Zen through the Tower test. You know the one. Anyways, go back to your normal life." Azura says as I blink and realize I'm in my bed in my room. "I need to learn how to teleport people like that." I mumble as I scratch the back of my head and sigh. "It's not hard at all." A woman says. I jump up and look to my doorway. I see Ceraphine standing there staring at me. "Hm? You seem to be acting odd." She says as I stare at her. "Why are you here?" I ask as she tilts her head. "Well, because you're here." She says as I blush slightly and stare at her. "I'm also here because I used a little matter manipulation to fix your apartment, and you are now the largest target in this plane of existence. I'm not sure what you did while fighting Valora, but the exertion of energy from you caught the attention of everything and everyone." She says as I stare at her. "So am I going to have to fight a lot more beings?" I ask as she nods. "Most likely." She replies as I sigh. "Oh, Kai." She says as she closes her eyes. "Yea?" I reply as she says nothing. "Something is about to come through this planes barrier. I can feel it weakening." She says as I stare at her. Suddenly an intense energy forces me to my knees. I gasp for air as I feel my bones cracking. "W-what the hell?" I mumble as I see Ceraphine on one knee. As I blink I suddenly feel fine. I stand up with my hands still shaking. "Ceraphine, was that Ragnarok?!" I yell as she shakes her head and stands up. "No, I don't recognize this energy." She says as I hear whispering. I see shadows moving along the walls. As I blink a man appears in front of me. He quickly grabs my chin and is looking at me carefully. He stares at me for a moment. He sighs and lets go of me. I feel blood where his hand was. Just the energy on him damaged me? I think as he stands up. "Sorry for intruding." He says in a calm voice. He's wearing a large black robe with black fur on the collar. He has short silver hair with black horns coming from the side of his head aiming up. His eyes are black and white with black slits in the white. He quickly turns around and holds up his hand. I see Ceraphine freeze in the middle of swinging her sword. She doesn't blink or breathe. He snaps her sword in half then thumps her forehead. As he snaps again she goes flying back through the wall. "Please don't make me hurt you." He says lightly as he looks back at me. "What is your name?" He asks as I stare at him. I quickly stand up and look at him. "Child, I really do not wish to injure you." He says as I stare at him. "My name is Kai. Kai Narukami." I say as he nods. "I see. Are you the one that unleashed all that power?" He asks as I nod. "Yea, you could say that it was unintentional though." I reply as he nods once more. "I see." He says as he moves his arm to reveal a suit under his robe. He bows. "So are you the ruler of this plane?" he asks as I stare at him. "What?" I ask as he looks at me. "Hm, I guess not." He mumbles calmly as he stands up straight. We stare at each other for a moment before he walks over to me and puts one finger to my chest. My body freezes as I hear whispers once more. "Kai, you will understand in time. But for now I cannot explain. I will be living in this world for a while. I mean no harm, I want peace." He says as I feel a pulse of dark energy shoot through my body. I instantly fall unconscious.
