Heroes Of Havalore

Ch.26 The Floating Palace

James puts his signature red jacket on as he gets ready to leave around midday. As he gets ready to step out of the gates he begins to feel an unusual nervousness. With each step James feels the pounding in his chest intensify. "James?" Aria says causing him to jump.

James turns around trying to mask his jitteriness as he says, "Aria what do you want?"

"I'm here to talk to you about our relationship," Aria replies.

"What about our relationship? It is nonexistent, gone, not there, dead. I can continue with the synonyms if you want?" James says coldly.

"What did I do that was so wrong James! I tried to move on! What you expect me to stay a widow for the rest of my life just because you didn't come back!" Aria yells at James.

James glares at Aria with his now cold blue eyes and says, "I'm not in the mood to have another emotionally taxing conversation, so get the fuck out my way."

But James's reaction only makes Aria even madder causing her to say, "James! The only reason why you don't want to have this conversation is because you're wrong! All you do is cause me pain and strife but I bear it because I love you! But no one's love is unending there is only so much a person can take! If you don't try to reach out to me you might lose my love."

James walks past Aria then says, "Fuck your love. I'll be fine on my own, I don't need it."

James's aura bursts from his body as he takes off into the sky. He finally lands at the front of the castle where Miria and Veyra are waiting for him. "Kid, what got up your ass?" Miria says.

"Shut up, let's just get this over with as he draws his golden sword and opens the palace doors. But, the second the palace doors James's hair whitens and his right-wing forms. Then James's silver eyes widen as three angels burst through the open door and attack him.

James quickly grabs the faces of two angels and slam into the ground. White energy begins form spear of light in the hand of third angel which he throws at James. James catches it but it explodes in his hand. "Impurity, you shall not pass." The angel says but he didn't notice the giant red spear in the sky that Miria through at him. The spear instantly impales the angel but also destroys the piece of land that they were standing on.

"What the hell, Miria! Maybe a heads up next time." James yells at the goddess of war. They enter the palace, the interior of the palace was pure white it was so bright to the point it was almost blinding. James begins to feel the pounding in his chest again as he walks down the corridor. Ten Angels emerge from the shadow but this time they had halos over their heads. James draws his silver sword as he begins to engage in combat with the angels. The first Angel kicks at James but he blocks it with one of his swords. But the force behind the kick slams James into the wall. Miria creates multiple swords and starts dealing with five of the Angel. Veyra rolls up her sleeves then punches an Angel so hard that his face caves in.

Veyra looks at the other three angels and says, "Come on It's time I stretch I've been stiff for weeks."

James's aura explodes as he says, "I think I'm done holding back." Then James kicks the angel in the chest causing him to cough up some blood. Then the Angel creates a spear of light as it stabs at James. James sides steps the attack then stabs the Angel in the chest pinning him to the wall. In a few minutes, the group of the ten angels was massacred by the trio.

"I have to admit I'm impressed, James." A voice says projecting itself throughout the corridor. Then with a burst of light energy almost decimating the corridor emerges a woman with six wings, a halo, white curly bouncy hair, golden eyes but she looked exactly like Nala with slightly darker skin.

Miria and Veyra both charge at the mysterious angel causing James to yell, "No! don't attack her she's...!" Then the female Angel grabs both of the goddesses by their throat and slams them together then into the ground knocking them unconscious. "Sera! You there?" James calls out in his mind as he has both his hands of his swords.

"Yeah, it's her, don't fight her you're nowhere close to her level," Sera says nervously.

Then before James can react the Angel was standing in front of him. She grabs his chin then observes his face which is frozen in fear. She says, "You look more like your mother than your father. So, tell me, James, why are you scared? I thought you would be happy to see me for the first time. Aren't you happy to see your real grandmother, Itenianis
