His Darkened Angel (Revised Version)

Chapter 2: The Rose

Harmonia's P.O.V.

"All right! I'm your new Captain, Captain Rose." Harmonia shouted, making sure to reach the back of the room, as there was a multitude of soldiers. "You were chosen to be in my troops because you were the top students, and the strongest out of your fellow comrades. Prove to me that you're strong and more than capable to keep up with me, and I'll do the same."

"We want you to be prepared for the war that is brewing, so take the training seriously, otherwise walk away if you think this is a joke or a game," She paused, glaring at the soldiers with her practically golden eyes to see who was not worthy, no one moved or hesitated, she then continued, "good, it seems you understand what's at stake, or you're acting like you do."

"Tomorrow, at dawn we will meet at this exact location to go on our thirty-mile hike, so show up on time and be ready." She ordered, "dismissed." She then stood stiffly, and carefully watched her troop file out of the meeting room in the castle.

She held her breath until the final soldier left, then sighed of relief as soon as the door shut. "Thank goodness, that was dreadful."

She rubbed her forehead, trying to soothe her stress. A soft knock came on the door, "come in." She said loudly, sitting on the floor.

The Eldest made his way towards his daughter, he was the leader of all angels, and took Harmonia in when she was young, when her parents had been brutally been murdered right before her own eyes.

The Eldest had soft features, a gentle chin, calm violet eyes with a slightly crooked nose, his face then all came together with shimmering silver long hair.

"I have a request my precious daughter." He said calmy, standing directly in front of Harmonia. She looked up and grinned, "yes father?"

"I would like you to deliver a letter to the Demon King."

"Are you serious?" She asked, eyes wide.

"I wouldn't joke about something this serious. You are charming and polite, and you're a captain, I think it would be best for you represent our people." The Eldest said thoughtfully, grabbing his chin.

"Okay, when would you like me to deliver this letter?" She questioned, standing up to show her willingness.

"In two days time, I'll give you a day to pack and prepare for your journey." He said.

"Well, I may need someone to cover for me tomorrow then." She said.

"I'll make arrangements so you can take more time to pack." He said kindly.

"Thankyou," She gave him a tight hug, smiling into his shoulder, "I won't let you down."

"I know you won't, Captain Rose."
