Three Golden Swords

The Next Adventure

Sitting atop a grassy hill leaning against a tree under a sunset were two fallen angels.

Phoebe, a blonde haired girl wearing a simple yellow dress sitting next to Angela, who wore a white skirt matched with a baby blue shirt. Both had folded pairs of white wings behind their backs, each wing at least 1 meter long when stretched.

They have come here to stop after a journey that has taken them through Heaven and back to Earth. And they finally have time to rest on sunset hill.

"You know what.. I miss Heaven.. I'll never sin or break a rule ever again.."

Said Angela.

"How come?"

"I've been through hell."

Well.. it's true. She has been through terrible things all because she broke a rule. She jumped out of Heaven without Phoebe because Phoebe never wanted to. But such guilt filled her for leaving best-friend-Angela that she jumped in as well. In fact, they had known each other in life before their adventure as angels. They were the best of friends before and after they both died in the same horrific car crash.

The sun was almost disappearing from view when Phoebe was reminded of that event so she asked,

"Hey Angela.. What happened before you died?"

"What?" Said Angela, a little startled after the silence between them.

"What happened before you died?"

"Why are you asking?"

"No reason, really. Out of curiosity."

"Well.. Do you still remember Kaori?"

Phoebe nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah. But.. Isn't she dead? And it's weird how she died in a car crash too––"

"She died in the same car crash as we and her dad did. Her friend asked me if we could come to a ball before she died. I have no idea where her other friends are now."

Phoebe looked quite stunned. Four people who all knew each other but from different families dying from different perspectives in the same car crash. What were the chances?

".. Wow. I don't remember Kaori being there."

"Probably because you were just peacefully walking on the street that time. I, on the other hand, saw it unfold with my own eyes before I jumped in front of that car. It really hurt, but hey. It was all Heaven afterwards."

"Speaking of Heaven, how do we get back?"

"Hold on.. Do you even think we can still get back up there? I mean.. If other fallen angels before us can't fly back to Heaven, then how can we?"

"We don't know everything. Maybe there is a way back up that we never knew about!" Said Phoebe hopefully.

"But.. you still want to? After the things that happened? After I flew out of Heaven then tried to come back where apparently, a mysterious creature pulled me down to Earth?" Mentioned Angela, looking worried.

"Do you still want to stay here? Where people might find us and sell us for money? Where other fallen angels like that Sarra lady might try to tear off our wings? Heck no!"

"You just said a swear word!" Exclaimed Angela, looking a bit offended.

"It's not that bad!"

"But.. but.. but.."

"Oh don't worry! It's not as bad as breaking the most important rule in Heaven, you know!"

Angela looks at her in an 'oh come on' manner then laughs along with Phoebe in what they will know as their short-lived rest.

"Ok. Where do we go now?" Asked Angela.

"Umm.. First let's find a place to stay for the night. It's getting dark."

The sun had fully set now, bringing with it the beautiful sunset they had been watching. In its place was a navy-blue sky dotted with twinkling stars.

"But people might spot us." Added Phoebe.

"We could get some coats in Sarra's shack. Those coats are great for hiding wings. Then we could find an inn or something to stay in."

"Why not stay in the shack for the night?"

"Uhm.. How about no? It's not that nice anyway. But it would be great to loot."

"Yeah! That evil Sarra.. She tried to take your wings so maybe.. We could get all the cool stuff and money~" Said Phoebe, rubbing her fingers together and faking an evil voice.

Phoebe and Angela stood up and prepped their wings for a considerably short flight to a nearby shack.

Twists, turns, obstacles and new friends await them; though they didn't know at the moment, this would be the start of a challenging search for the Three Golden Swords.
