"What the fuck did you say about her imbecile!!!" I didn't know that my tears could turn lava but I guess Isabel despite being a human had a strong influence on this man who was nicknamed 'Death's calling'. Shamon used his telepathic abilities to put Sylvester in a stance that he shouted in pain saying; "I am sorry father! I will respect my older brother and the humans for they are innocent souls" he then turns his head in a 360 degree angle and nodded for me to release his son which I did. I closed my eyes in meditation and hummed a tune that my mother used to sing to make flowers rub against me in slumber then my tears fell to the ground as charcoal.

My mother was Shamon's sorceress and my father fought in his army as an angel commander so my kind isn't even suppose to exist because angels should never reproduce outside their realm but Shamon found favor in their union though he knew it would end badly.
I opened my eyes and it shimmered like crystals once more and he approved that I could leave but not without a warning not to make the same mistake my father did cause I am more an angel than a sorceress's son. I was his son and he knew what's best fa me.. though my stone heart yearned for Isabel.

Weeks passed and there was no change. My discipline demeanor turned into hunger and normally I am hungry for power but what I wanted, needed was that woman.. It's like my life is incomplete without her. How could this be? I can summon any darkness and rain hell on anything I wanted and yet I can't get her out of my consciousness? Sigh I decided to dust my wings off and fly to the spot Shamon saved me; to think. It brought me sadness yet peace because it was the last time my parents expressed love for me. I flew off letting the wind guide me.. Shamon whispered to me to "be careful" and I said, "yes father, for those creatures could be wandering at that spot again and even though I am unstoppable they were our weakness".

I landed at the spot deep in the lush dark woods and pulled my wings in. For safety I created a force field around me then went inside my mind to meditate. If you were a regular person walking by, you'd probably be mesmerised. My shirtless body lit up in silver; an ability I got from my mother. She was the soft side to my father's rage and always knew how to calm him down whenever he lost control. (Well, from what I can remember). So just like her, my body glowed in silver and my hair well, I decided to remove most of my hair so my third eye kept watch of my surroundings while the others were closed. I saw my parent's face so happy as they watched me do my first power up 'spitting fire' and they were arguing whether I would be more an angel or a sorceress. My dad insisted I did his ability first so I must be more an angel and she disagreed saying: "Look at his glowing eyes that's me right there."

As i laughed at the memory, a shiny tear slid from my eye. "How sad it is to see an angel cry, especially mine". When I heard this I came out of my meditation instantly and there she was. Hair in an updo while some strands hung down on her face and neck, her dress looked as if it was dipped in red paint as it flowed so comfortably off her slender body in the wind. Her eyes glistened as she was in tears when she said those words then she ran over to me. I was so happy that I hugged and flew her in circles. We both cried like fools. Then it happened, my heart came alive because of her.

I thought I would die because that's what Shamon warned me about if I felt love but honestly, I felt even stronger with her. I felt I could do even more to protect her at all cost and my people. I flew to the ground while she clutched on to me after landing. She said, "I know this is crazy but I love you, never have I felt this for anyone or anything. I am so drawn to you I cannot explain it. I'm Isa- " I stopped her before she could finish and said I already know your name, I just didn't know that my heart would beat because of you. She was surprised because she knew that Angel's weren't allowed to feel.

I asked her how did she find me? She said she listened to a tune and it got louder as she approached this direction. As she recited the tune I held her crying.. "That's my mother's song!" She pulled away frightened at my booming voice and I held my head down- apologising for startling her. We laid there for hours after that. She told me how she only lived with her aunt and she worked in the village making carpets and garments for the rich fairies.

On the other hand, Isabel always set out to find the spiders that wove the finest threat which they used to make the stuff.. she was an orphan as parents died when she was born. Ever since her aunt took her in and raised her. I exchanged my story as well about Shamon saving me and how he made me the powerful I am today. She wasnt impressed by my power at all. Only when I showed my compassionate and emotional side of saving my tribe from enemies I saw the admiration in those brown gold of hers. She had no idea how much power she had over me.
