“So you’re the famous Donnovan...” Elleanor asked. A fresh, polite smile on her lips.

It was morning, so she had a mug full of coffee in her hands, while Donnovan carried a cream filled bagel, and Bertrand had his usual.

Instant noodles.

“Who eats noodles for breakfast, man?” Donn asked in a scolding tone.

“I do, now leave my noodles alone. They didn’t do a single thing to you.” Bertrand retorted, and so they kept having small talk on their way to his first session with Grace’s therapist. A woman called Elleanor.

“I don’t mean to be intrusive, but don&rsquo

    Camael walked around the streets, his thoughts floating through time and history.His eyes were old as time itself, since he was born as one of the first archangels. The battle against Tehom left him with a lot of scars, not only in his body, but in his mind and heart.The archangel spent his whole existence exiled from Eden, wandering among the humans from the Haled.After the great civil war, he absconded from both sides, because he absolutely refused to bear arms against his fellow brothers and sisters.That decision ended in his exile from the Heavens, which made Camael stick to his avatar, learning everything he could from humans, from their culture, growth and evolving, to even faith and how it moved them.Camael lived among humans ever since the ancient times of the majestic city of Enoch, and there he learned how to live a life as a human, but not before being idolised by Enoch’s people, and even king Enoch himself.

    “You can tell me anything that unsettles you,” Elleanore said “or you can tell me your story. Whatever the case may be, the goal here is to reveal traumas, disturbances, anything that might be or become a hindrance to your life, or just to any aspect of your routine.” Bertrand tried to hide his emotions and act as if everything was okay, but her voice had such an effect on him, that he for once didn’t look away. He forced himself to keep eye contact, and spoke his heart out. “I’m wanted for alleged murder...” Elleanore widened her eyes. ‘I knew it!’ The therapist exclaimed to herself, without being able to contain her own surprise.

    Uriel watched Mathew in the distance, her thoughts floating away with the cold wind blowing in the night. Was Azazel actually telling the truth when he told her all that? Was her mind really confused because of the experiments Metatron did on her? How many of her clones were out there then? It was so much information, so much confusing thoughts in her head, so much conflict. Was Metatron really the Evil that she had to fight against this whole time? The more she thought, the more confused she became, and the migraine only grew worse and worse. It felt as if her mind was blocking something, keeping her from remembering something, and it made her feel frustrated. Because she was Uriel, one of the most loyal archangels in E

    The veil was so thin under that roof, that when the old woman took Camael’s hand and pulled him towards her and inside the vertex, he didn’t feel like crossing anything at all.If anything, he felt the cold, snowy breeze burning down his cheeks. He was standing in a seemingly ever green plain, with breathtakingly beautiful mountains in the background. There was a very large river in front of him, flanked by high stone walls in the distance, and he admired the sight with fully open eyes, as to not miss a single aspect of that landscape.The old woman looked at him and said,“I’m not allowed to accompany you on this part of your path, but I’ll be here, waiting until you fully comprehend your role, and come to me so that we can come back to each of our own worlds.”

    Uriel tried her best to make her memories resurface the right way, but it didn’t matter how many times she tried or how forcefully she thought.Her memories just didn’t want to come back.It was as if her mind was fighting against her at that very moment, putting so much effort only to show who was the boss.The judge’s nose started bleeding, and her migraine became worse and worse.For a moment she couldn’t think.For a moment she couldn’t breathe.For a second her whole world was nothing but stars and darkness.It was past midnight already, and it had been almost four hours since Mathew started meditatin

    Camael felt a bit of surprise, but wasn’t caught off guard at all. On the contrary, he let the spear pierce through his chest, because somehow, he not only didn’t feel any wickedness coming from Odin’s movement. He also felt that it was true to its purpose, and that was why he just let the attack hit him. However, when the weapon pierced him, what greeted the archangel wasn’t pain, but something like a trance, that made Camael go back in time, until the day he fought in the Ether Wars. In spite of that, the place where he woke up to wasn’t the in-between of worlds, where the war took place. He woke up at one of Metatron’s laboratories in Eden, tied up to an iron table, his arms and legs completely restrained by metal shackles and chains.

    Elleanore left her daughter sleeping in her room, and went to wander around her house, to think more clearly about the big picture that the case of Bertrand consisted in. She went from her room to her daughter’s room, a bit messed up, but still as organised as a child’s room could get without mom’s orders. From her daughter’s room to the stairs, and from there to the comfortable, although modest living room. She earned enough to live ostentatiously, but chose to live modestly, to save her earnings to get her smart child to a good college when the time was right. Elleanore was a person with a complicated past that presented her with the gift of understanding people without many words. Moreover, she always tried to make the best of everything that life sent her way, which meant that she wasn’t going to waste the op

    They talked and dined, laughed and shared moments of silence, and night flew by like a train heading towards its final destination.Aurora was allowed to stay with them for as long as she could stay awake, and surprisingly, she stood there, playing with everyone who wanted. Listening to their stories, drinking juice and pretending to fight with Bert, Jake and Uriel, who still didn’t get used to her features.From time to time, Uriel would go outside, followed by Don.She would cry in Don's arms, remembering the times she spent with Becca, and how it would never come to happen again.“Love...” Don would say. “Do you remember when Becca last said her goodbyes to us?”“What about it?” Ur

    Heavy rain started pouring all over the world as Becca spoke, an ominous feeling drenching the hearts of all who heard her.I didn’t put you in here for this.I didn’t create you so that you could surrender to your weakness.I created you to be.Like Me.As she spoke, they felt ashamed of their own weakness, of their will to run and to be guided by anything that could exempt them from the burden of choosing.Becca wanted in her deepest part, to decimate them. She felt angry, disappointed at them. But it was just expected, because She had made them like that, hoping that they could overcome their weaknesses. That they could be able to hold themselves accountable for their own deeds.So she breathed deeply, dismissing her human emotions for the first time since forever.In a snap of her fingers, the storm clouds dissipated, and with it the blood that reddened the earth, and the bodi

    Uriel glowed like a bursting star.Her muscles tensed like bow strings, as her whole essence forced itself to assimilate and purify the energy from the Crawling Chaos’ blast.Somehow, the creature’s energy was very similar to that of a nuclear weapon, and as quickly as Uriel noticed it, she jumped under the highlights, stealing the show.However, the energy was so dense, so tainted, that her only choice was to focus everything she had on purifying it during the whole absorption process.A single mistake, if her determination and focus wavered even if ever so slightly, and the Scorching Empress would be no more.Time seemed like slowing down as Uriel put all of her into that task, and little by little, the blast diminished in intensity and size.Until the entirety of the attack ceased for good.“Is that all you got?” Uriel asked with a taunting smirk on her lips.The heinous creature couldn&

    Outside the church, Bert’s group fought with their lives on the line, with all they had, in order to buy as much time as they could so that Elleanore and Abby could retrieve whatever it was that could grant them their powers back.So they fought, got wounded, bled, fell, got back up again, and resisted as hard as they could.However, Mathew and the others weren’t doing as well as they wanted to.Because their enemies weren’t ordinary humans, but loyal servants to the Crawling Chaos. Demons once killed during the Forgotten War, but brought back to life by the unstoppable force of evil and destruction that was the Crawling Chaos.It made things way harder to the group than they ever planned for.They had broken limbs, deep cuts, and unimaginably painful wounds. But still they resisted, having even taken down some of their enemies.It seemed that, somehow, their bodies still held some of the former strength they held back in t

    They weren’t excited.If anything, they were afraid for their own lives. For their own integrity.It was too high a stake to even dare conceive failing.However, it was also a moment where if they succeeded, history would be corrected, things would go back to how they used to be, friends would be reunited.Evil would be put back to where it belonged.Bert planned, the others gave their opinions when they thought some of it was incoherent, or simply pure blatant nonsense.Days passed by before their plan was completely formed and they were well equipped enough to dare leave Bert’s place, but eventually the time came, and despite the fear they felt, they moved with the sense of purpose.They moved with the will to finish it once and for all.As soon as they set foot outside, they understood the real danger they were walking into.The daylight had faded to a level that even during the

    Immediately after Abigail saying that, a crippling headache hit everyone, except for Elleanore and Abby, sending everyone to the floor, while Uri’s voice, in that seductive and unnatural way, spoke in their heads.Do not even think of coming up with a plan or anything like that, my little rats... Didn’t I tell you that I was going to play cat and mouse with you?Their heads felt as though they were about to explode, so intense Uri’s power inside their heads was, but she kept speaking.Inside the maze, I was shackled by that filthy young man’s power. But now that I am free, and that I have the most suitable vessel, I am not only going to follow my mother’s will, but I will also enjoy myself, watching you all slowly wither as you die one after the other...Elleanore and Abby couldn’t hear what was happening inside the group’s heads, but mother and daughter were fine, so they came right at the group

    It was hard for Bert and Cam to tell Mathew and Jake that they were basically alone in this now, since Uri disappeared, Don went after her, and Elleanore had resigned herself and Abigail from the fight. It was even worse after Jonah told him what they had to face, despite not even concretely knowing what were their strengths against all odds. They felt as if they were walking in the middle of a crossfire, blindfolded, with their hands tied behind their backs. And while they were at it, researching, looking for gods, searching for more answers, the world kept changing. In the course of the months that followed their first reunion to discuss about the dream, that now seemed to them to have taken place years ago, the world had changed. Weeks went by with earthquakes reshaping whole areas throughout the world, typhoons devastating small towns, crimes happening much more frequently, atop of many more disasters happening all around. And along with that, a new pillar of power was rising

    As Jonah approached the entrance of the maze, he took some time to take in everything in his surroundings.Strangely, he didn’t feel familiar with the large desert that unfolded around him. Jonah remembered all about the place as soon as death took a hold of his body, and he wasn’t sure if the domain of Death, his old domain, had always been so bright.It looked as though daylight had been poured over the vastness of the deserted plains, with only the giant maze showing in the centre of everything.Something felt fishy, and even though Jonah felt confident in walking through the land, he also felt as if something was out there, watching him.But when he felt it, his attenti

    Just as Jonah had mentioned, the work to build the electric chair took less than three days. That was because finding a water that was pure enough to suit the unicorn boy’s needs was hard enough.But sooner than they expected, the project was completely done.Since Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see the whole experiment taking place, so she strongly recommended him and Cam that they should take the project somewhere else, or else she would, and they wouldn’t like it.After all, she might even be part of that craziness, but she still put her daughter above all else.And Elleanore wouldn’t allow such things near her Abby, not even if her daughter was a goddess or anything of the sorts.Abigail was still Elleanore’s baby, in the end.However, even if Elleanore didn’t want Abby to see what was going to happen next, Elleanore herself went to Bert’s house, along with Cam, Jonah, and Jake, whil
