LOGINThat voice was very familiar to me, so I looked around. I noticed that I was in a forest. How did I get here? In the distance I heard a loud rustling. Was that a waterfall? Again I heard someone calling my name, so I started moving. The noise grew louder and gradually the trees thinned. Speechless, I emerged from the trees. This woman! She was standing on the shore of the huge lake and although she had her back to me, I knew who she was. Those blond locks were unmistakable. It was the woman from my dream that I had when I realized that angels really exist. Also this time the huge white wings were not hidden from me. Unsure but still curious, I went to the woman who turned to me, smiling. The rushing of the waterfall drowned out everything, but when the angel woman's mouth opened, the rushing seemed to fade away.
"You found me," she said in a voice that would have driven any man crazy.
"You called me," I replied quietly and didn't even stop half a meter in front of her. She nodded and gave me a long look that I couldn't make out.
"Who are you?" I heard myself ask.
I sensed that this was a dream again. But it all felt so realistic. The rays of the sun on my skin that warmed me, the fine drops of water in the air that came from the waterfall and the light wind that played with my hair.
“I am Fare. One of the ten archangels. “, She answered.
Was she trying to deceive me with this loving tone? Or was she always like that?
“An archangel? So you want to kill me then? ”I whispered, allowing a little panic to flood through me. I would have to be careful but somehow I didn't believe that this woman was one of the bad guys. She shook her head.
"No!"
She looked at me seriously, but the love in her eyes could not be overlooked.
“Nereus, my brother wants to see you dead. But I want to take a different path. He thinks you could be dangerous to the Order of the Archangels but I know that you are not. That's right, isn't it? "
I swallowed. Maybe thanks to this woman I still had a chance? Doze off.
“It is not my intention to cause trouble. When I saw your brothers fight Zayn, my fuse blew. I wanted to protect him, that's the only reason I hurt Nereus! ”I hurried to say and watched Fare as she pointed to an old tree trunk that was not far from us on the shore of the lake.
"Sit down. I would like to talk to you. "
A little severity in her voice made me do what she said. I sat down on the old piece of wood, she followed suit.
“You have my respect, little girl. It takes more than courage to hurt an archangel. Say, didn't you feel like running away? "
She looked at me curiously. Was she really interested or was it just an act? I shrugged my shoulders and tried to find the right words. Should i trust her? Could I even do that? I decided to be careful.
"Not really. I admit, your wings alone intimidate me, but fear is a feeling that no longer has any meaning for me. To know that Zayn is safe means more to me than the danger I am in. "
The corners of the woman's mouth twitched.
“You are very impressive. You appear quite human for being a Nephilim. But your feelings and your mind are far higher than that of a mortal. "
After these words we were both silent for a while. But then she bowed her head and looked at me intently.
“I like you, Nyria. I am not your enemy! I'm trying to find a way to prevent your death so you have to trust me. When I showed myself to you for the first time, I was fascinated by you. I immediately noticed that you are something special. I want to be honest with you. Nereus observed you and found out who or rather what you are. He immediately called for a conference. That Ezekiel is your forefather is unsettling. He was one of the most powerful among us and should he appear on the scene there will be trouble. Have you noticed anything about yourself that might be powerful enough to get his attention? "
I had to process all of this first, which is why I was silent at first. So Lucifer was right. Nereus kept an eye on us and overheard us over Zayns and my conversation. And what should her last words actually mean? I finally shook my head.
"No. I'm a little stronger than I should be and I can suppress some human traits, but that's all there is. There was never more! ”I replied and returned her piercing look. She was silent, which is why I leaned forward a little.
“Are you going to go looking for Ezekiel?” I breathed.
Fare eyed me almost suspiciously.
“That's exactly what I want to prevent. Nereus will try to find out where he is, but I'll try to stop him. It is possible that there are powers dormant in you that you yourself have no idea of. Ezekiel will try to get there and with some unsightly methods he would succeed. "
A shiver crept up my spine. Yes, now I was really worried.
"What skills?" I whispered. She had also made me curious.
“Oh, a lot, and very powerful too. I won't tell you, maybe you have some of them. You will have to try to find out how powerful you really are on your own. "
She got up and from that I concluded that we were running out of time.
“You could work for us, Nyria. Then you would be safe. However, you would then be separated from Zayn and I assume that you definitely don't want to accept that. "
She looked down at me, I looked up at her.
“Zayn wouldn't allow you to bring me to your heavenly kingdom. And I wouldn't even want to. This man has become much too important to me for that, "I replied calmly. I was serious! I wouldn't leave Zayn behind. Surely Nereus would do anything to get rid of him.
"Nyria!"
The voice that called me came from far away and Fare knew exactly who was calling me from where.
"Zayn seems to want to wake you up," she stated quietly.
"What other options are there?" I asked hastily and got up too.
Fare touched his head.
"II don't know, I can't think of anything in a hurry." She stammered desperately and took a step towards me. She pressed something into my hand. I didn't have time to look at it.
“With this you are always able to contact me. If there are problems you can use it! I'll get in touch when I've thought of something. "
"Nyria!"
I woke up panting.
Laughing, she gouged out his eyes, cut off his ears and nose, drilled holes in his skull and then peeled off his skin. Everything alive. Both the ground and herself were marked with blood in the end."I hope I never have to kill anyone again," she said to her husband one evening in the shower."Because it was so horrible for you?" He replied. She had shaken her head and rested her head on his chest."No. Because it was so much fun. "Sighing, I looked over the land, which shone in a rich green. Spring had come. The fifth that I have already seen here. And even though I've been here for so long, I still couldn't get enough of the beauty of heaven. Yes, I lived here now. This was my new home. I still couldn't believe what had happened after the fight with Nereus. Zayn had actually been out to start another fight, the archangels had realized that too. You were understanding. And now? Today there were no more archangels. No, they had
With rattling breath, I tried to calm myself down. We'd already done almost all of them and that in less than a quarter of an hour. Most of them were dead and you could see that from me and the others. We were covered in blood and wounds, but everyone had already healed. So while we were standing here suddenly there was a high and high-pitched scream. It was only then that I realized that Nyria was not near me. And although this was the first time I heard this kind of scream, I knew immediately who it was from. Only a few minutes passed before she stood in the middle of the hall. Her top was torn, there was a long and incredibly deep cut in her abdominal wall and she was just soaked with all the blood. With her eyes she looked for me. She was trembling, could barely stand on her feet. The faster I had to react. I ran to her, pulled her into my arms and brushed the sweat-sticky hair from her forehead. She almost lost her balance. She allowed herself to be in my arms for
Ten minutes had passed, but in those ten minutes the Archangels' Hall had become a battlefield. Blood was spreading on the floor and I, too, had suffered quite a bit. I did not feel well. All attacks were aimed at me, and although this seemed like my fight, everyone else was fighting. They all defended me, did not let anyone approach me, but I was full of blood. It wasn't my own. I was not disgusted, but I felt sorry for the fallen. What had Nereus told the fallen that made them just throw themselves into danger? Nereus wanted me dead, so what use was it all? What would their reward have been? I looked around in the fray, avoiding a severed hand. I actually felt sorry for the fallen. I mean, I wouldn't be keen on a missing hand. Even Zayn was engrossed in a fight with them. He was hurt. A laceration was clearly visible on his temple. I almost smiled. It reminded me of how I found him. Injured in an alley. Ingrateful and naughty. Arrogant and without scruples. Nobody paid any attenti
Say, are you going to interfere?" She asked softly. He almost got the impression that she was the most vulnerable woman in the universe. Why hadn't he noticed earlier how pretty she really was? Lucifer studied her closely. In these long, blonde curls that shimmered like gold, he would have loved to dig with his hands. Her big blue eyes looked at him almost fearfully. She didn't look like an angel, no, nowhere near. She could have been a fairy. Petite, fragile and beautiful. But behind this beautiful mask sat an archangel. So she too could become something that was anything but beautiful. Still ... he recognized the true essence in her. The helpless woman who just wanted to be protected. He blinked. It's been silent for far too long.“If Nereus gets into debt within the two days, then I definitely won't sit still. If nothing happens, you will not see me again. "Chest rose and stretched.“I'm sorry, but that's all too much for me. Maybe a
I didn't like these pejorative looks at all."Just imagine before you talk to me like that," I said now. Suddenly the one with the unusual eyes smiled.“Little one, I like you. I bet you belong to Zayn. "I liked his tone of voice. I dropped my mask and smiled."Right. I am Nyria. ", I replied and held out my hand to him.Contrary to my expectations, his handshake was gentle and it seemed to me that he could understand why I was so dismissive in the first place.“I'm Trae, I'm happy. Behind me are Gaven, Jaze, and Kuja. We are ghouls. "I almost grimaced at his words. Ghouls? Wasn't that body eater? Kind of disgusting ... I felt a gentle breath inside. It was Zayn who wanted to find out how I was feeling. A soft laugh reached my ears. Apparently he found my reaction funny."So you are the little Nephilim that everyone is after.", The ghoul with the black eyes spoke up. It was Jaze."Everyone is af
“Little one, you are incorrigible. Be that as it may, I would advise against just marching in there. Give them five days. If they haven't stopped Nereus by then, you can act. Find some reliable people. They should be good fighters because no one can say how the guardian angels will react when they see you. It is quite possible that they believe that you would want to snatch the kingdom of heaven. "I only understood the station and cocked my head."What are Guardian Angels, please?" I asked and looked at Zayn expectantly. His hand poked my side briefly.“Guardian angels are not far below the archangels. They are the protectors, make sure that everyone obeys the law and nobody causes trouble. They protect the archangels and should they notice an uninvited guest in heaven, he can be prepared for something. Either the intruder is tortured and thrown into the dungeon, or he ends up right at Lucifer's feet. "Amused by the choice of words, th
