7.5. The
Event Day – To the Rally
The four of them congregated at the Ground Level.
The ground outside was all dark with the sun behind the hills. The sounds from
the Stadium could be heard, but the four were not to make any difference
whether they were going or not. There was a column of Vampires with the hounds
and half a dozen of Nephilim holding the siege on the building.
“They knew we were coming.” Helmut cried out. He
disliked to be lied at. Geranium stood there and looked at the Vampires who
were still standing there. She counted twenty of those hounds, but they are
kept on leash.
“We are outnumbered and neither the weapons to countered
them.” Micheal voiced out while he checked his spares ammo. Crawler was at his
usual lonesome self; taking refuge at the dark corner. He does not like the
situation and kept on snarling at the hounds.
“What are they waiting for?” Geranium asked herself.
She soon got her reply. Four riders on the same energized two wheel machine
contraption like her’. The machine also comes with a set of energy lasers
projectiles mounted to its front controlled remotely by the rider through its
thought activated force strength helmet. The four were dressed like her but
their helmets varied in the shades. She recalled having heard of them before;
they were former Crusaders who went missing some years back. Then they were
named the Four Riders of the Crusade, but rumors told of them having changed
sides and became the four Horsemen of Hell. Unlike their counterparts, the Four
Horsemen of Apocalypse; they are named by the colors of their bikes.
Red, Blue, Yellow, and Black.
They rode up to the entrance and dis-mounted there.
The riders took off the dark helmet and shook the long tresses of hair.
The riders were all ladies.
The unexpected was the ladies spread their arms, and
wings appeared from their back. They were Harpies.
Prologue 7
Nordstrom stood before the partition that separated
him from his followers. He had arrived earlier and was chauffeured there under
heavy security. The organizers had constructed a podium similar to the concerts,
with the back stage. Colonel Drak stood by him, and was on the comms unit.
“The Crusaders have been sighted on the building. We
have laid a siege but they are holding back as per your instruction. The
forward teams should be engaging them right about now.”
“The security here?” Nordstrom asked.
“We are adequate..~” Colonel Drak replied but was
interjected by the Prophet.
“Give me the real numbers. I want to know.” The
Prophet was getting agitated.
“We are down to a manageable level, but we have your
followers. They are in the thousands.” Colonel Drak reported back. “Our recent
losses were not anticipated and the current diversion to hold the Crusaders.”\
“Then pray hard that you are right.” The Prophet
shared his concern.
