The angel with black wings

Chapter 1

The sun refused to look at the earth when she was born. The whispers spread until it got to Michael's ear, "Are you sure the union was pure?" He rushed home as he sensed that Isabel gave birth to an invincible force forged with their undying love. Then he saw her: eyes were nothing compared to the rarest gem of the earth and her hair flowed like the calmest seas. He held her in his arms while his wife's lifeless body wasted away each minute. Maybe it was true, love cannot conquer all after all. It's my fault she's dead.

His heart was now ash, tears of fire gnawed from his eyes.. He tried to keep it together but how could he? She looked so much like her. "Where must I go? This was my personal hell" he said as his flesh and blood started to cry out as if she felt her father's pain. As if she knew her mother was gone forever. Minutes felt like weeks, hours felt like months... News came back that his tribe was willing to accept him in, help him get back on his feet and all would be forgiven... He would be their future king again, despite throwing it away for love, though it came at an unbearable price... He'd have to give up Sapphire.

She's not like other babies, despite her mother was a human.. She had her mother's face but that was it. Her eyes sparkled like what humans would call a diamond when she was happy and burnt like wild fire when she was scared. Her lips were scarlet red and skin smoother than a slippery slope. She had all my powers and her heart didn't beat, only if she found true love like which was stolen from me.. She won't age like humans either, in three months my child will be a typical teenager with the ability to read minds, have wings and protect or destroy anything in her path.

Before I met her mother, I was merely the perfect heir, fighting our enemies and training the weak to be strong. Many powerful witches and fairies with beauty beyond words battled to be my queen but I never gave them my time. I was too busy harnesting my powers so I can protect my people, until it was time to take the throne from my elder. I showed zero mercy, enemies trembled in despair when my eyes burnt their soul because I knew their every move, thoughts and weaknesses just by looking at them. I thought i had no weakness until Isabel.

My tribe doesn't use emotions, we were taught it only brought pain.. The less I felt emotions the more powerful I was, which is why I was chosen to rule. The ones who created me were turned to ash by our enemies the Cyclops (the one eyed freaks I call them) but little did they know that my now elder was nearby. He became invisible to snatch me from their reach.. My parents died because they were in love, so I vowed to stay far away from that thing. I was not only powerful, I was quite the sight to behold: piercing eyes and flowing dark hair (no wonder so many fought to be with me). I was practising to form my most powerful chi.. 'The dagger Halo' It looks harmless but trust me It's far from innocent. It's a white circle that surrounds me with sharp edges, filled with stars but it takes the strengths of your enemies and leaves them empty like an abandoned shell.. I decided to practice in the forbidden forest where I had peace and quiet. Besides, it would be invisible to my kind... Only lesser life forms would be able to see it if their heart was pure and you guessed right my Isabel saw me that day.

The eyes made for my face were closed during my power up but the invisible one in the back of my neck stood open. That was when I saw her. Her body looked as if she was dancing when she walked, body seemed to be sculpted to fit mine, eyes golden like the jewels humans are crazy about, her lips were like cushions dipped in rose petals and her curled kinky brown hair rested on her small frame shoulders.
She began singing and birds joined in with her, landing on her caramel coated skin. I had no idea what came over me as the bird scratched her skin and a little blood appeared. I stopped my incantations and flew over to her at full speed knocking her to the ground. My silky white wings towering over her, she was scared but then she did something that would haunt me for eternity. She looked in my eyes and whispered "I'm okay my love" it was if I was in a trance, I was about to kiss her but I felt my heart beat and this was forbidden So I flew away scared for the second time in my life.. I can't love her, either one of us will die.

I perfected my 'pupil melt down' attack where I melted the insides of anyone who dares to attack and even my dagger halo while I was in my private chamber. After that incident I mainly trained indoors and forced the memory of my parent's doom to shut down whatever this lady did to me, but whenever I stopped training it's her face embedded in my consciousness and her voice is on repeat.. I was about to fall deep in contemplation about stroking her kinky textured hair while I got lost in her daze when my elder's voice boomed; "Michael show yourself!" I knew what was next, there I was teleported instantly by his command to his chamber. The moment I saw his son of royal blood, Sylvester with a satisfied grin on his face I knew this wasn't an ordinary visit.

For he was fumed with jealousy that his own father chose me to be king over him. That scar across his face from the lightning i summoned when we were in a duel to see who was better to be king, his green eyes that made the grass looked fake and his white hair which he got from the elder himself made him the perfect plague for me. He knew i had no fear for him.. I only respected my elder though his usual gentle green eyes and relaxed white brows told a different tale. He was not pleased about something and I'm sure it's about the lady who haunts my dreams.

He asked me to perform my deadliest blows infront of him, I did each to perfection. He took his crown off, as if he was going to join me for a duel so I changed in my suit of armory which was only a metal pants and no shirt.. My inscribed tattoos (the flame that always burned on my back and the spring that always flowed on my chest) were visibly glowing ready for battle. My pitch black hair would now resemble the flame on my back a blend of red and orange. My eyes still sparkled because I saw no threat in my elder. You'd expect me to be muscular but I wasn't very huge ofcourse, I had six packs which i flexed to make Sylvester furious (he had none). Then I felt all my focus dropped and I fell on my face to the ground only to see my elder shapeshift into her (My Isabel).

"I didn't mean to, she wandered on my path oh great Shamon I'll take my punishment just... don't harm her" I said in the most calm tone. He spoke like her saying "you promise to never love me?" I reluctantly replied and said yes. Sylvester used his ability to see water (even if it was invisible) and saw that my third eye streamed a shimmer of tear when I said yes. Shamon returned to his true form, A towering giant with hair the same color as my wings, enormous muscles that burst out of his skin and he wore little armor only to cover his genitals. He held my face in his hands and said, "I rescued you when you faced death so I know what's best for you my son." When he said 'son' Sylvester let out the wind which was meant for the South of the earth in anger and said something that made me grab his silly fragile neck for his true form was the wind that always blew so this makes him quite small compared to Shamon (Don't underestimate this snake though). "As punishment let me take this girl's innocence I'm sure he won't love after she screams my name in pleasure"
