Part 03

Captured in your mind I'm damned to Illusions

Cherubim Angel Die flew into the direction where the waves were coming from, like little impulses from a pumping heart. Hakuei, his friend was in danger. That was why he felt him sending thoughts of help. Die didn't really know where the other Angel was but he felt an enclosed feeling, like being captured into something.... Die assumed what it could be but hoped that he was wrong.

The scream for help had brought him back into the sky castle. A magnificent and huge palace where most of the Angel population lived and worked. It was such a huge place that it was impossible to ever have seen everything in it. It was made out of gold and marble and flowers and plants were everywhere inside the building. It was somehow a city on its own. Huge staircases and windows, balconies, chandeliers.... Everything to make it comfortable for its residents.

But Die had no time to admire its splendor. He stormed right onto the floor where the shout for help came from and right into the private quarter of his friend. Fact was that every Angel possessed his own apartment in the sky castle. And if you're a welcomed guest you can enter.

In haste, Die pushed the door open and found his dear friend sitting on the floor but he was not alone. Toshiya was finally there.... or what was left of him.

With his right hand, Hakuei held his protégé Toshiya's hand while he had collapsed to the floor next to him. And Die knew that Hakuei was in too deeply. Deeper than necessary. Swallowed by the trauma of his own protégé. His wings started to loose feathers.... Die had arrived just in time.

He kneeled next the glass-body and laid his hands down onto the Guardian Angel's back. Then he enclosed the two captured Angel's with his four wings and concentrated. Words formed in his mind while his vision and strength widened out.

"Athah Gibor Le-olam Adonai!" 'You, O Lord, are mighty forever!'

At the same time in Toshiya's nightmare vision:

The weak and hurt body of the Guardian Angel lifted up from the dusty ground. The Angel opened his eyes when he felt himself get lifted by powers from the outside... something was there to help him. Then a rush of power went through his beaten body and it almost seemed as if light extended from him. Strength slowly returned to his harmed body. And he recognized that kind of power.

'It's you Die!!!' He shouted in his mind.

'I will get you out of there Hakuei.' Die answered through his thoughts. They weren't able to see each other yet but communication worked that way.

Die's powers showed effect. Hakuei's harmed body-projection lifted up from the dusty ground on its own. An inner strength, warmth and power filled him up. He had never experienced something like this before but feeling it right now he knew that his mind and powers do get linked with the helping Angel in another sphere. That was only possible because Die was an Angel from higher rank. A Cherubim.

Hakuei floated above the ground, powerful aura encircled him. He had his eyes closed but the moment he felt the threatening man from Toshiya's vision coming back to life, he opened his eyes and glared at the culprit. He linked himself mentally with the threatening figure and felt every movement and flicker of emotion of it. Now he got him.
