I watched him with total horror. If my scream could cause agony in other people, I wouldn't know how to describe how Miguel's scream made me totally depressed. My heart, for the first time in months, tightened in such a way that I thought I might be suffering from some sudden stop of the heartbeat. I rubbed the medicine in the palms of his hands, noticing that nothing was happening. I was so used to not hurting myself with anything, and never getting sick from any human illness, that it seemed unreal to me that someone could still feel pain and not get better immediately with some healing action. Human medicines were good for humans... For creatures that were not from that world, the difficulty became even greater."You need to turn around," I said in a trembling voice, dropping the cotton on the floor and exchanging it for another who was not dirty with the blood of the living flesh of his hands." I have to sew the place where your wings should be."No," he moaned, repressing another
I was still thinking about my friends when I went back to the living room with the two cups smoking under my nose. The smell of tea mixed with the smell of magic that the whole room left after cleaning Miguel's blood. I sat on the floor below the couch and put the cups aside, leaning to touch Miguel's hair in order to wake him up. I didn't expect that touching your hair would cause the tips of my fingers to tingle, as if an electric current pierces our bodies by touch. That's why I quickly moved my hand away, but when I dropped it loosely off the couch, I ended up hitting his arm, which was moving softly to the floor.The ring on his finger flashed for a moment in a violet tone, and it made me look down. By coincidence, or not, my hand leaned well over the circle-shaped ring leaked over his index finger. The ring was made of a golden tone, made of gold, and its center was covered by clouds of a very beautiful cyan, which I knew came from the powers of Michael.The fact that I touched
At the moment that prophecy was made, Miguel took a hand to his heart and closed his eyes, feeling a terrible pain. The same pain that I could feel now, being inside him and noticing that humans did not have the slightest notion that their prayers would no longer help at all. Their guardians no longer felt any love for their lives. They were doomed. However, even though we could not hear the sounds of that memory, the agitation between the members of the table was remarkable. Miguel reopened our eyes, and right in the center of the globe a woman stood up with a black sword in her hand, brandishing her against the winds that whipped her black hair against her face.The queen of hell stood among the dead humans, she stood before the fallen and pointed her sword precisely at the spectators of the prophecy, as if she could see them, as if she knew what was about to happen. So everything happened very fast. Miguel noticed that everyone at the table was now looking in his direction, some wi
"The only thing I'm sure of is that you will fight, Elena." Miguel said in a low and affected voice." Even if I die trying. You will fight for humans.And knowing that, once again, left me faced with the fact that I couldn't let the story go that way. I couldn't let my friends in hell die. I sighed with exasperation, already very aware of the way history was heading to another destination where I should risk everything so as not to suffer.Fate was really a son of a bitch."What about you?" I questioned in a low voice." You were expelled... But you're on earth. You're not in hell like the others. Are you now a new sin or something?"No," said Miguel without hesitation." I've already said that I'm too valuable to be totally diverted from my duties in paradise.I frowned lightly, reflecting on the subject. As far as I knew about fallen angels, even those who were not designated to represent a capital sin were immediately exiled to hell. For a moment I ended up thinking that by the death
"And how could he have let the angel of death become the guardian of the queen of hell?" I asked, astonished, and even a little admired at not having received any archangel."He really didn't want any of his soldiers to peve into his plans over the centuries," he explained, picking up the thread of my thoughts. The Creator entrusted me with the mission of observing her because she believed that, when the moment came, I could easily take her soul away from the body. So it would take you some time to return, that is, if you returned."Only Lucifer can kill me," I spoke with a debauched smile."I can too," said Miguel without changing.My brow frowned again. My head looked like it was on fire. I needed to sleep, but first I needed to understand how everything could be connected and in the worst possible way. I sighed and inspired. The more time passed, the more my life seemed like a complete mess. I just wanted to know when that would end."So, the top-la-faced guy put you like a shadow
“Well, I agree that we work together to try to solve the issue of the fate of humanity, and I agree that we can unite our spells to bring Vraxlon back, if that is possible...” I spoke in the most natural way possible way, although my whole body seemed to overflow with expectation. If it were possible to bring Vraxlon with infernal and angelic magic together, then most of my dilemmas would be solved." However, I do not accept to have any kind of deepening in our relationship. I want you to continue to be just my guardian, nothing more than that. If you need shelter, then stay. Don't think we're going to have anything, because we're not going. And if you dream of advancing some signal..."Elena, I'm an archangel."It's a fallen angel now, and I know you can sin if you want."I don't want to sin."Great, because I wouldn't want to sin together with you.And I tried very hard not to call myself a liar inside my head, because if I did, he would listen. And all I needed least was to want to
"Are you angry?" He asked, sitting next to me and pulling one of the plates to his lap." Did I do something wrong?"No, Miguel. Don't worry. I had only completely forgotten about its existence," I spoke quickly, and the phrase sounded harsher than I expected. Miguel lowered his head, so I added: "No, I mean, it's not that I forgot about your existence... I didn't remember everything that had happened before. It was as if the whole situation went out of my head. I just didn't remember that you were still here at home."I won't take long, I'm already leaving," he said, drinking a sip of juice.“Gone leaving? What do you mean leaving?" I asked alarmed."Didn't I say I needed to meet that person from the police?" He returned the question, cutting a piece of his pancake." I will leave you alone for a long time today, because I need to try to make him believe that he only knows me because we have already worked together.“I thought you would be leaving my house, you definitely know,” I expl
I continued driving in silence, noticing that, unlike my friends from hell who considered all human behaviors as a spectacle, Miguel acted as if nothing was new and everything moved him deeply. He seemed to be watching each sidewalk in a way of recording beauty and normality, before everything became chaos. I reflected on whether I shouldn't have done the same either. Enjoying more of the world before it ended."I'll talk to them as soon as I can assimilate the situation," I guaranteed Miguel, at the time I parked the car in front of the police station." Until then, please, Miguel, just give me some time to accept my destiny."There's no time, Elena," he said, opening the car door. Already standing on the sidewalk, he watched me and said: "This time, we do not count on the benefit given by Time, my light. It's just us against everyone; that's what you need to accept."And can you believe that Kirk idiot said that the fact that I'm still single is because I create too high expectations
