My Dark Guardian Angel

Shadow Queen

Chapter Eleven:

"'Edzard'?" Aishling asked in question as she watched her eldest sister pace the room in worry, evident by the slight twitch in her folded wings, with her red quartz eyes nonchalant as Lorelei watched Jerica pace the room, "What is he? You're long lost love?" Jerica glared icily at Aishling, her wings opening slightly in a deadly threat, as she hissed, "Edzard is nor was a love of mine, Aishling, now get ready for battle. You too, Maeve." She strode towards the exit with Aishling and Maeve quickly following after their eldest sister. "Lorelei, you are in charge of Abgurd, I place our home and family in your hands." Jerica informed her sister who was two millennia her junior with said sister nodding. "Of course, sister, I will run Abgurd as you have in your place." Lorelei promised, making Jerica smile softly, before dispersing into a giant mass of darkness, with Maeve and Aishling following after in a swirl of black rose petals and dark grey smoke.

"I wish you luck, my sisters."

She dodged another lime green glowing fist, sending her violet-steeled crescent moon-shaped trench knife towards Solange's left side, which caused Solange to flap her wings, flying backwards from the slice and charging once more, her right fist pulled back in a right hook. Let's change the course of the fight, Amethyst thought with a smirk as she went through handsigns before stating in her hauntingly harmonous voice, "Raiton: Jibashi (Lightning Style: Electromagnetic Murder)!" with lilac colored lightning shooting out of her hands, rocketing towards Solange in a rapid rate, shocking her into paralysis, as she fell limply onto the ground, her pale green eyes narrowed and glaring at Amethyst who gently soared down. "Raiton: Shichū Shibari (Lightning Style: Four Pillar Bind)!" Amethyst said as she slammed her hands onto the ground with four stone pillars rising around Solange, only to create a lilac lightning barrier around her. Solange snarled, "You'll regret this, you schatten engel whore! I'll burn all of you until you scream for mercy and the end to this agony!" until her eyes went wide and a crazed grin slipped into her features. "Shine (Die)!" She screamed as a blinding white light bloomed into an explosion attacked Amethyst, sending her flying back from the force of the explosion and blinding her. "Amethyst!" She heard Dimitri scream her name through the deafening white cacophony that rang in her head. Strong, lithe arms encircled her in an embrace as the sound of metal clashing against metal became clear to her ears. Her eyes snapped open to see a curtain of poison purple swish in silky waves as it melted with tendrils of black.

"Queen Jerica!"

She heard a deep and raspy voice get out in shock, the voice causing vibrations to course through Amethyst, which was revealed to be Dimitri's voice. "Take Amethyst with you to defeat the Licht," A mysterious, alluring, yet dark and cold voice ordered calmly as the woman in front of them glanced coolly over her shoulder to reveal calculating and cold glass crystal eyes. Dimitri nodded and tightening his grip around Amethyst, soared into the shadows to defeat the other Licht invading the village. Jerica looked over to her two sisters, "Maeve, go heal the injured humans and help their leader to defeat the snake human," Maeve nodded before vanishing in a swirl of petals, leaving Jerica to look at the young Kluge with cold eyes. "Aishling...take care of this one." Was all she said before disappearing in a collage of black tendrils as Aishling smirked, her red quartz eyes gleaming with mischief. "With pleasure," She purred before charging at the enraged pink Licht.

He waited patiently, his wings stretching before folding back in their rightful place, as his blue-grey eyes admired the destruction of the village named Konoha. The sound of wings flapping behind him made him smirk in appreciation as he greeted, "It has been a long time since we met...face to face, well in this case, back to face." with his eyes continuing their admiration of destruction. A soft sigh was heard as the newcomer's voice said in a soft, rather exasperated, tone, "Edzard, please, come home; come home to Abgurd. It hasn't been the same without you. Children's laughter has lost its joy, men's roars has lost its pride, women's admiration has lost its love." The voice paused, and hesitantly added, "And I have lost the love you have given me...all those years ago." He looked over his shoulder, his eyes flickering into a soft and warm ocean blue before returning to their color, with amusement as he chuckled. "Ah, Jerica, so naïve and so desperate to avoid the End's cold fingers from grasping Abgurd's citizens and your schatten engel." He turned fully to her, his eyebrow arched in sick amusement at her plight, as he let his blue-grey eyes pierce into her glass crystal gems she called "eyes". "Didn't I make myself clear? I never liked you, much in fact loved you. So for you to beg for me to come to Abgurd is proposterous. Would you like for your kingdom, your people, to see their queen like this?" He snorted, his sharp eyes catching how her bright eyes dimmed with each word he hissed in venom. "I will never come to Abgurd, not ever, Queen Jerica Kluge of Death's Shadow." He said her title in mock respect which made her eyes dim even more so, as she said, her voice void of emotion as was her face, "Very well then, Edzard, if you wish for us to remain ememies, to remain cold and bitter to each other, then that is what you will get." She turned her back to him, like how he had all those thousands of years ago, spreading her wings before ruffling them. "Ever step onto the borders of Abgurd, I will put you down myself, and make sure all the light of your eyes had diminished. I will make sure all of the Licht have witnessed your death that was caused by a schatten engel." With that, she vanished, leaving him there, as tears rolled down her cheeks. Oh, Edzard, she thought with remorse, with anguish, please don't do this to Abgurd...to me...

Once he made sure she was gone, he fell to his knees, his eyes now an agonized ocean blue, as he whispered, "Im sorry, meine Liebe, I had not wish for things to go this way...never." He looked onto the healthy soil underneath him, "Wait for me...just for a little longer."
