I quickly dashed to the other side of the street, and what I saw, immediately sent me thumbling backwards, frighteningly. I quickly found another dark area to hide away from the street lights. The person screaming was a lady, and something like a monster stood in front of her. I saw a dark fog like that of an evil flame, which possesses people. He grabbed her by the neck and pulled her up in the air, so her legs weren't touching the ground anymore. He seemed to be strangling her while she gasped for air. Cold shivers ran down my spine as I watched the heart-wrenching scene in front of me. I should be helping this lady, but here I am shrieking with fear. What will become of me if I go out? I'm sure whatever it was might also strangle me to death. But I just can't watch it take another soul right in front of me. It would be cowardly of me to watch that happen."L..let the woman go," I said in a low tone. I held the metal bar in my hand strongly, just in case it came for me. The m
I have been in the wilderness of nothingness for centuries and I had no idea what was happening beyond the wilderness. I'm also ignorant about the havoc Black must have caused in the mortal world. Knowing what Black was capable of, I'm sure he must have caused unrest in the mortal world. I wished father would realize what had been happening and sent for me. It's been centuries.It can't be that Black had succeeded in taking over the immortal realm and holding our father captive just as he claimed he would. This was because father would have sent for me if he had found out what Black was up to. Just as I was thinking of the possibility of what might have happened in the immortal realm, the fog covering the wilderness suddenly cleared up. "Azreal, my son!" I immediately kneeled, throwing my face to the ground in a bow of respect. "Yes father," I replied with great delight. "I have neglected you for so long, and today, I've come to tell you that I've seen who the real sinner was
After having a long day at work, I decided to head grocery shopping. I found out Jed was actually talking about the weekend. It was easy for someone like me to forget if there are weekends or not. That's because I don't have much to do at the weekends. After getting groceries from the shop, I quickly headed back home. I made myself some steak and a bottle of wine to calm my nerves. Just then, I perceived something unnatural around me. This was new. I've never once perceived such a powerful presence before. I walked over to the window where the scent was imminent but found no one around. It can't be that the monster had found me. I quickly took out my pistol. I had no idea if a pistol would work on him, because if a gun worked on him, those agents wouldn't be reported dead. I'm sure they had no chance against the monster. "I slowly walked over to my door and opened it, but found no one out there. I sniffled the air, and the scent was gone. I wondered if I was the one who must have p
I woke up instantly at the sudden burn I felt. "Black!" He must be close by and probably causing a ruckus due to the sudden burn I felt. This was it. I've been trying to find him all this while. Who would have thought that I'd find him soon? I quickly left my bed and dashed out of the house. I stared at the car which I had bought and shook my head. There was no need to take a car when I needed to find someone like Black. I quickly made myself invisible and teleported to the police where I sensed him. I was baffled beyond measure when I found myself in front of a huge shopping mall which had been destroyed. This was indeed the work of Black. I could see the immortal blue flame which he used in causing the destruction. What a pity, so this was all the ruling he wanted. I laid my eyes on the mortals who had no souls and shut my eyes. Black has indeed caused more than enough damage in the human world. I need to take him away as soon as possible before the whole of humanity perishes i
I stood dumbstruck at what I saw. Ever since I worked as an agent pursuing this case, I've never seen anyone who actually commanded beasts. I began to wonder if he was the faceless Saviour everyone was talking about.But for some reason, this faceless Saviour looked nothing like the one I saw on the news. He had this dangerous and unnatural aura,just like what I'd perceived that night.He commanded the monsters and that's exactly what caught my attention. How on earth was he able to do that?"Hey, August!" I blinked but didn't turn around to answer Fox because of what I saw. I was still very much in shock."Where are the monsters? We heard their voices just some minutes ago?" He asked. I turned around to face my partners, who looked around in a confused state."There are no monsters anymore.""Huh? How's that possible? We clearly heard the growls of these monsters. Have they, perhaps, escaped?" Jed asked while staring at me, desperate for answers.I lifted my gun up to them."See? I
"As my first son and the only one in possession of my powers, I hereby give you authority to govern the affairs of the universe. You, Azreal are my eyes and ears. I bestow upon you, the book of souls. From today henceforth, you will be in charge of the mortal souls. Let it be known in the whole of the Universe that you have taken my place." My Father, the Great King announced. Everyone sang my praises. The whole of the Immortal realm was filled with festivity. "Come forward, son," my father called. I walked majestically to him and knelt on one knee. He placed the book of all souls in my hands. The books that will determine the fate of mankind ( The mortals) are in my hands. I bowed my head in respect, and he placed a golden crown on my head, sealing my fate. "From today henceforth, you are Azreal, "THE ANGEL OF HADES."The trumpets and beautiful voices of the Seraps graced the air."Thank you, Father, I make a vow to you, that from this moment on, I Azrael shall carry out my duti
I was having a nap in one of my favorite trees when I suddenly felt an unknown but powerful energy around me. I instantly opened my eyes and glanced around the place I sat, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Just the tall green trees with different colored flowers. And the still lake beside the tree I sat on. Still, I felt the unknown energy around me. Immediately, I thought about the book of souls and immediately glanced at my side.To my utmost bewilderment, the book shuns in bright colored lights. I remembered what I was taught about the book of souls. Whenever there is a bright light, it means there's a soul to be collected. I smiled happily and reached for the book. But just as I placed my hands on the book, the powers emanating from the book threw me off balance and I fell off the tree."Azreal, remember, Do not panic. That is a scary book, and it needs utmost peace and calmness," my father advised in my thoughts. I shut my eyes and maintained the utmost silence insi
AZRAELLaid beyond the bowel of the ground was my lair Netherland, the wind whistled in whispers of the doomed souls trap within its brimstones.I moved with the whistling wind not at the same speed as I moved in the land of the mortals but fast enough to count a thousand souls that were hovering around the sea of souls. Filled with misery, the ferryman moved over the souls of bodies. On the boat sailing was one man's soul, his eyes sunken deeply black and without life. If emotions existed in the underworld I have called it "sad" or whatever I heard the mortals calling it from time to time. I waited at the bank of the dark sea that was filled with voices of the damned soul, as the ferryman stopped paddling and dropped his anchor which was in the shape of a sickle, he motioned to the man aboard to alight from the boat before dropping the coins for the ferry right into my icily waiting hands, two gold coins that glittered in the darkness."I can see this is a rich one, ey?" I asked, k
