1.
Outside of Brooke View Library
Lucifer stepped out to meet
Micheal who called on his name. There was a lull in the battle; both foes
taking to their own boundary. The demons on the left and the army of Micheal to
the right. Micheal was dressed in his robe but he bears a sword; his own sword,
the flaming sword of Micheal. The hilt of the sword was dark in shade but the
blade was shaded red like lava. Lucifer stepped forth holding a trident spear
shaded in red from the top to black at the staff end.
"We shall decide the
winner and he who loses shall do as needed." Micheal declared.
"So shall it be like
before." Lucifer accepts the decision.
They both raised their
weapons and it was then Gabriel rushed out from the Library.
"Stop in the name of the
almighty Father." Gabriel rushed to Micheal and held onto his hand holding
the hilt of the sword. "He seeks
the two of you in his presence."
Both warriors walked with
Gabriel to the library and went inside.
An hour later, they came out
and then stopped in front of their army.
Micheal turn to his army and
bid them to collect their dead and wounded to depart. Just before he left,
Micheal turn to Lucifer. He whispered to Lucifer and the other smiled. Then
Micheal took his leave with Raphael. Lucifer looked to the demons who awaits
his words.
"There would no more of
this war. You may all return to your previous dwellings and continue on in your
works." It drew a hushed from the demons and they refused to budged. A
harpy walked out and approached the Prince of Darkness.
"What of the salvation
that was said to be ours?"
"Here is your salvation
when you choose to come here centuries ago. Your time to rejoin the heavenly
Father would be another time. We just got to continue the wait here."
Lucifer looked to his army. "I know many of you are disappointed that we
fought for nothing. But in reality, we won as our voice was heard. Your Father
heard your call, and he had not forgotten all fo you."
The demons stood there and
muttered among themselves. Then Lucifer called on them to dispersed leaving
only the seven Princes standing there with the Crusaders with the wounded
mortal warriors. Lucifer told his Brethren to leave while he awaits Gabriel the
only angel still there.
Gabriel stepped out and spoke
to Lucifer.
"Father ask me to not to
able the gate until your time have come." Gabriel spoke to Lucifer and
then looked to Geraldine. "Before I go, I would pass this to you. You may
use it to heal the wounded and then placed it here."
Gabriel point to Geraldine a
wooden case.
"I would come and
collect it later." The angel passed over four of the unit that looked like
a scepter.
"Tell me what did
happened inside.' Geraldine asked of Gabriel. "I deserved to know. I am
part of this crusade."
"I would like to have
tell you everything but in the end, I would still to hide the memory from you.
None of you in the guise of Man are ready to know the whole truth. Those are
not my command but from my Father." Gabriel told the Crusaders.
"Then why do you make us
take the tasks and risked our lives?" Miles was getting agitated.
"Which is why I said the
whole truth shall not be revealed but there would be some truths you can
retained." Gabriel conveyed the intention of this Father. "Man need
some champions to guard their existence. As you can recalled, we are living in
multiple dimensions with many similarities. You, the Crusaders may need to come
to the aid of Man in conflicts when these dimensions collide. Demons and devils
are only some of your foes..."
Lucifer drew on a deep cough,
and Gabriel correct his statement.
"The occasional
....rogue angel may be one of your foe, but there are many others."
Gabriel looked at Lucifer for affirmative nod. "You seen some of them
recently; Norse and Egyptian."
"\Of which we are
removing for you." It was the voice of Thor who held onto the shoulder of
Loki whom he had apprehended with Balder. Lord Seth had come willingly as he
wants to go back to his dimension.
"We are taking him back
but we thought of leaving this for you. The staff you hold would and may
summoned you should Asgard have a need of you. And your friends." Thor
smiled at the Crusaders. "We would be going now."
The Asgardian and the
Egyptian left in whiff of wind.
"Gabriel, what made you
think we would continue on as Crusaders? We did not actually volunteered
here." Kruger interject in. He does not like to assumed in the role.
"You can't escape your
fate. All of you are linked to the task of protecting mankind and their beliefs
in the faith." Gabriel then looked at Lucifer. "One of your number is
not here. You always gloat on being the leader, but he is more than you. Baal
could be your nemesis. Beware my warning, brother."
Gabriel and Lucifer soon
disappeared in whiff of flashing lights leaving the Crusaders standing there
alone. Geraldine looked at the scepter in her hand and then moved among the
wounded. The other three soon followed suit.
