Raziel

Mom woke up after having an awful nightmare, even I, had a weird dream where Nuri has a very cold hand, which is ironic for he is the angel of fire.

I rub my cheek where he touched me, I still feel my skin quite cold.

"Really? Lord Bedivere is coming home?" I perked up when I heard the maids who are cleaning my room talking to each other.

Bedivere? I have been hearing that name since I was a kid.

The other maid with ginger hair giggled a little "Yes, I think the news got to him that the Queen is getting married."

I listen intently, I tried to look for some books about this Bedivere but it seems even the messenger bats keep a hidden information about the guy.

Just who the heck is he? A noble? A Paladdin?

"Ah, Lord Raziel, is there anything you want to ask?" Oh shoot, they noticed I was looking them.

I smiled kindly "May I know who is Bedivere?"

The brown haired maid's eyes gleamed happily "He is your mother's mentor, young master."

Mother's mentor?

I nodded "So he is coming here today?"

The maid nodded happily, I am curious, why it seems like they are fantasizing about this Bedivere whatever.

Just who the hell is he?

"Young master Raziel, Lord Nuriel is here to see you." Theresa said so I have to put aside the book that I am reading to meet Nuriel.

I get up and step out of my room, I know where is our usual meeting place and that's in the kitchen.

Why kitchen? Because we both love food.

I stretched out my wings in their full span and watches as the silver feathers sparkles under the sunlight.

Now I noticed, my feathers has a purple glitter along the surface and a swirling gray smoke.

Eh, this is the only time I pay attention to my wings because for me, I am not the type of person who mainly focus in aesthetic.

"Razziee~" I grinned, there is only one person who calls me by that nickname.

But when I turn to see him, all I can see is darkness. Like I am being sucked up in a void. I feel the cold brush of the air on my nape and it's sending chills into my spine. 

I don't like this. I don't like this at all. 

"Razziiee~" that eerie voice of Nuriel is creating an echo through the walls of this hallway. Even with my vampiric sight, I cannot see through this endless darkness. I moved  a slowly to where I am standing, this darkness, I am getting a bad vibes towards it. 

I trod along the hallway carefully, I ignored that creepy voice of Nuriel and some giggling in my ears.

At the end of the hallway, I can see the platinum blonde hair of mother, I sighed in relief and I race towards her but her form is getting farther and farther away. 

I know I shouldn't be exhausted, but I am sweating all over my body and my legs are getting tired. 

I froze to my spot when I saw a huge shadow approaching me, I slowly turn around like in a slow motion, I am getting scared to the bones, as if I am just walking and I can't even utter a sound where all I can do is to open my mouth like a gaping fish. 

"You're dead.." a voice whispered in my ear as I fall and stumble on the floor. I instinctively covered my face when I saw a huge sword aiming at me. 

Is this my end?

"Ignis lucis!" 

A unfamiliar voice yelled and a blinding light bursts into the whole hallway until I lost my consciousness.

"So there is a new demon pestering my son?" I can hear mom's worried voice and I don't know whom she is talking to. 

"If you are already aware of that, then why you didn't even contact me?" that voice again, who is he?

When I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in my bed and Nuriel's face is the first thing I saw, I immediately sit up and hug him tightly. 

"You're real?!" Nuriel gave me weird look as he cock his eyebrow "Of course I am real, you dumbass." 

I sighed in relief and leaned my forehead against his shoulder "Thank goodness." Nuriel pat my shoulder for comfort. 

In the corner of my eye, I can see a long platinum blonde hair tied in a ponytail and a silver armor with a white cape behind, a white armor? I thought all of the knights here are wearing black armor. 

Nuriel leaned to whisper in my ear "I think that's the one that every maid was talking about." 

Who? Why I can't remember?

The man wearing a silver armor turn to face me and I am almost shocked to see a feminine like face of a man, his metallic green eyes are staring back into my bewildered silver ones. 

"Is this him, Ira?" oh shoot, he is that man who saved me from the darkness. 

Mom nodded "Yes, Bedivere, this is Raziel." 

Bedivere?! So this is him?!
