But I arrived at her side too late to stop her from what I thought she was about to do. Skye shot the man, who looked like he was on his knees before the lady, right in the head! I could see she was in unexplainable emotions, but the most potent was something far from what I initially thought it would have been. Because instead of fear, and I meant to say, her fear of blood, I saw a different conscious mental reaction.What I saw was intense anger.If I would be honest, I admit to say I was also taken aback when I saw her face sporting rage and fury. I have not seen her get mad and I expect she may have her scary side despite her enchanting beauty, but I did not expect her to look as scary as I was seeing her right now.Her face was clearly conveying the warning that seemed to say,
When we reached where the bound captives were, in the gazebo, Skye was a totally different person compared to how I knew her. She was like a walking fireball with all the flaming fury in her whole aura. Her words were few but her actions were louder than gongs being played on a ritual ceremony. “Tell me who sent you here?” Skye asked in an icy tone. “I don’t have the patience, let alone time to waste on you. I demand an answer to every question I will ask. Failing to do so, well, I will at least give you an option to choose from.”Skye stated her words with an indescribable authoritativeness. She showed a patent view of fearlessness. But to top them all, she emanated no mercy, closest to ruthlessness!“Would you rather have your fingernails plucked one by one, that way, if you please me, you can still hope for the nails to grow back. Or, would you prefer to have your fingers cut one by one? I believe my queries are too few to count, anyway ....” “I think I have asked my first quest
Marco’s POV“What do I do?” I asked the lady next to me when I saw Skye pull the trigger and shoot the man in front of her without any hint of remorse on her face. I feared for Skye from the deepest pit of my heart. She was hemaphobic! But aside from that, the words this lady next to me said about Skye being haunted by her impulsive decisions and actions due to her intense emotions at the moment rings aloud in my anxious mind. “There is nothing we can do about the things she has already done. But it doesn’t mean we will just watch her drown in the momentary lapse of her sanity to do what is right. She is not killing innocent people, so we can only hope that her actions would help create a better world,” the lady with me answered with great sorrow in her tone- I still could not see her face. “Please tell me there is anything I can do for her,” I pleaded. I would do anything; everything! Just to help Skye, she is not supposed to trigger any evil nature in her or she might quickly
“What just happened?” “What is this place?” A lot of questions slipped off my lips and mouth as soon as I noticed the change of our surroundings. I clearly remember being in the Gazebo in the west side yard of the mansion only a few steps back earlier. Yes! Only a few steps back, because that was the only movement I did to comply with the lady’s offer of helping me get prepared for whatever I was about to do in order to help Skye claim victory in her battles. “First, thing first. I mean I can only answer your questions one at a time, so what just happened was teleportation. From the world of humans, we are now in a realm where supernatural battles exist in connection with the concerned souls of the human being.”I looked around. The view that my eyes could see was nothing like I have ever seen before. “As for your second question, this is called the abyss. A place where no human could ever come. As for your case, your body remains in the world of humans, but just as I told you ear
I could not avoid looking at the masculine figure in front of me to check if he was as kind as how he appeared to be. Judging by his looks, I was quite intimidated, but his smiles were looking so genuine in my sight and understanding. In the end, I was convinced he was as good natured as he seemed to be, after all, Israfel was an angel. A warrior of goodness. Yeah, right!? I was in the abyss of the creatures of light. There must have been no place for evil in here. Unlike in the world of humans, I would have to be cautious in everything I do, or to anyone around me. I must be cautious about whom to give my trust and loyalty, but in here, I felt ashamed that my character in the flesh would still manifest. “What is bothering you?” Cassiel asked as we walked to a direction Israfel was guiding us to go. I could not tell if she could read my thoughts and was just being polite to ask, but I decided to be honest with everything I was feeling and every thought that pops into my mind, to kee
“Is there anything I need to do before going into battle?” I asked after Israfel showed me everything about the last war he had been to. “Seeing how you weren’t so shocked with everything you saw, I am impressed,” Cassiel said with a thumb up, nodding at me. “Thanks,” I smiled shyly. I still feel awkward to be praised for something considered as awful doings in the human world, considering it was some kind of violence. “You just have to give it a try out at the training ground. We have different categories of combat training. I suggest you try the ones you might need in the battlefield right away,” Israfel said while leading me to another wooden double door. “Whoa….” I could not help a wound of astonishment slip off my lips when Israfel opened the door and the view inside it appeared before my eyes. “This is the gear chamber,” Israfel said, then he pointed at another wooden double door by the end of the hall. “That door will lead you to the weapon chamber. And the next door to t
Third Person’s POVWhile Marco was in the abyss to assist Skye in the battle of spiritual warfare, Gabriel on the other hand assisted Skye in everything she wished to do. Skye and Gab found out Cody was not on the same side with the group of men that they captured and subjected for questioning. Cody confessed everything that he did when he was given the options if he wanted to remain in agony until he gives up or if he wanted to get help by medics in return of telling everything he knew about the incident and everyone involved. Cody said that he thought he got all the intruders with Frank as his accomplice, not knowing about the few men Loid and Gerson fought with, defeated to surrender, and bound. Whom later went through hellish torture under Skye’s commands until they exposed every information they could tell. It took a while, though, because the intruders were professionals. They lend their services for a large sum of money depending on the tasks they would be doing for their clie
By the time Cassiel showed up Marco was able to experience every form of battle using every weapon available. From distance to close combat, Marco was able to experience how to respond to any form of attack, offense and defense.“Marco, time’s up!” Cassiel said as soon as she arrived next to Marco and Israfel’s side. Marco was feeling all warmed up so fear was nowhere in his thoughts, consciously and not. But he wondered what this situation would mean regarding Skye. “Is she alright?” Marco’s thoughts did not remain kept to himself. Cassiel gracefully turned around to face Marco properly. She made sure she was looking directly into the man’s eyes when he answered. “This battle is not the worst you might get into the abyss, but just the same, your failure and victory will affect her greatly,” Cassiel answered with an unreadable expression on her face. Well, to be precise, Marco could not read Cassiel’s mien, but Israfel understood every thing he saw on Cassiel’s aura. It was sadne
