Michael (The Airel Saga, Book 2) - By Aaron Patterson Page 0,140

not believing what I was seeing. Kim, my best friend until, well—until she became the Seer—stood before me, encompassed by the power of Lucifer, the ultimate evil.

“You can’t kill a being sentenced to eternal damnation. I have waited twenty thousand years to slay you! Once you die and the Sword of Light is in my hand, I will move onto Kreios… and Michael… and every other traitorous Son of El that has forsaken their exaltation to be on this cursed earth!”

Kim then lifted into the air and flew at me. I instinctively flew to the right, countering her direction and flying above her. She swerved and gazed up at me, the fire in here eyes tangible and real. Screaming with a voice not her own, she lunged at me sword first. “This game will end!” she yelled at me.

“I do not fear you!” I called back at her as I shot into her body and sent her flying. Both of us yelling, we collided in the air. I could feel each punch she threw. Each one was unmeasured and wild. I defended, I could feel her sword clashing with mine.

Finally she kicked me in the chest. I hit the ground but bounced up. Climbing to my feet after the second impact I braced myself. Kim smashed the ground twenty feet away.

I found myself in an empty space—nothing but a frameless door and me. I walked evenly toward it, knowing I must pass through it to defeat Kim.

The door opened silently and I felt my body grow warm.

I opened my eyes.

Everything was where it had once been. The Sword was now in my hand, and when I looked at it, the pure intense light was so strong I had to look away.

The demon was running at me once again, but now all fear left me.

I was just there with Kim, my friend.

I cut upward, into her heart.

Kim’s sword fell out of her hand. She stood shocked before me, shielding her eyes from the light of the Sword that was now in my hand. I twisted my blade and remembered Kim—the real Kim. Her quirky laughter, the stupid jokes, the unrealistic crushes.

Tears ran down my face as I lunged. The hillside around us torn apart amid the battle, the hacked bodies and the hatred, it had ruined such a beautiful place that was once luscious and green.

I plunged Sword deeper into her heart, feeling the evil within her die along with her fragile body.

The evil of the Bloodstone undone, the battle was immediately changed. The demon Brothers lost all their power. The drain I had grown so used to now vanished.

I opened my eyes to see Kim, just herself, the way she was normally.

I looked over the field of battle and saw that the last few demons had been killed.

Michael walked up to the top of the hill half smiling—half out of victory, half out of grief for the loss of my friend.

The cheer from the victorious angels rang out as loud as thunder. We had won. Evil had lost.

Now my life could finally become normal again… maybe…

(excerpt)

It is safe here. Warm, cool; cozy. There is light. There is a place for Thea to rest her head. There are walls, clean and sleek, that keep the darkness out. There is routine, normalcy, security. There is a roof, things are orderly inside the strongbox.

There is a door on one side, but a bolt secures it that has never moved in all her memory.

The strongbox is safe. Thea knows this because of the things that are outside it that are dangerous. Interruptions to order and peace always come
