Chapter 1 Doomsday
The sky was stormy and it started to rain. How could the nice weather turn into such a misery.
“Sia, come on it’s raining we're going to get wet”
“Ya coming” replied Sia to her friend in front of her. Sia took a glimpse back and saw something unusual. “Wait guys, what's that?” a golden orb emerged from the heavens before dipping back in again under the cover of a sea of clouds, all of a sudden the sky broke into shards and like a broken mirror golden lights shone from the cracks of the shattered sky only to have the sky seemingly crumble and break into a starry night however, it was not night but really a form of twilight with stars that shone brighter than the milky way galaxy itself. The sky was blinding, but not burning as you might expect from giant burning orbs that made even the sun look like a tiny planet in the endlessness of space or even a speck of dust doted over a black canvas of nothingness, in fact the orbs however blinging felt cold and icy. It made every man, being, thing, look small in comparison to the majesty of this new sharded sky. A voice came from the twilight sea of stars that doted the shattered sky. The voice spoke in a majestic chiror as trumpets played and other voices sung to the trumpets adding this sense of majesty and composure to the speaker of the twilight sky, but this speaker spoke terror into the hearts of all who were listening, terror that it made people scream and go into a panice, terror that made people go insane, people covered their ears but it was no use, it was as if the voice was going past our ears and straight to our hearts. Even the babies were screaming for their lives. And as it continued it became louder and even more unbearable, it began to make even the earth, quake before the speaker's voice, and make the earth gave way revealing giant casims that started to suck up the buildings and some of the people that we close. By now people were scrambling to any shelter they could find but it was all in vain, as the voice from the sky spoke, nothing could stop its impending fear and abject terror that was laid upon us. Suddenly the voice in the sky stopped and was filled with an airy silence. Looking at the sky strange creatures started to materialise, before seeming to fall from the heavens at remarkable speeds that made the air explode and sent a burning shock wave that echoed and filled the silence with dancing lights like fireworks that twisted and twirled in the sky before crashing down to the ground. What emerged from the dust was a was a person, but this person had wings on their back that looked like it was made out of giant feathers, white feathers as pure as snow. This person was covered in plated armour from head to toe and had peach coloured skin, this winged person carried a decorated lance in its right hand. As this creature rose from the ground, it dwarf Sia in size, standing way above her head could ever reach. As the winged person turned their head, Sia could tell that this was a woman with an iron halo floating above her head. She had a slender face with plump lips and long curly black eyelashes accompanied with long flowing gold hair.
“Sia, above you!” cried one of Sia’s friends as she pointed to the sky. More winged people were falling from the sky crashing into buildings and roads all carrying weapons, each falling at the speed of sound
”Wait are these beings angels?” Sia questioned herself. The female angel turned to Sia and stared at her with her sapphire eyes, eyes so beautiful and peaceful that it made her feel somewhat at peace with herself, but then her eyes change, they seemed to reden and burned with murderous intent, spreading out her wings she slowly rose from the ground.
Petrified Sia stood there staring at this magnificently winged deliver of death. With a might flap of her wings she thrusted forwards and with her lance held high she thrusted her fist forward with such veroserty that when the lance pierced Sia’s chest it sent a mighty shockwave through Sia’s bones that seemed to shatter them to pieces. A sharp nagging pain hit Sia like a runaway train making her scream and gasp for air. Looking down, Sia could see blood dripping down the blade of the lance, feeling her strength failing her, Sia could hear the dying screams of her friends as they were slaughtered. Her vision began going blurry before everything went black.

After waking up from my delightful snoos i see everyone is under the table looking at me as if I was crazy, with a dreadful ringing sound in the air, “Steven, get down, under the tables, the terror bell is ringing” ordered Mrs Finlay as she tried to contain himself.
"There's nothing to worry about I've got you guy's” i spoke with a calm and rather smug derminure, someone at the back of the class gave a bit of a nervous snigure as if to say i was bullshiting with everyone. “I'm not joking also the terror bell is only for terrorists not the people that are coming for us now"
"And who are the people coming for us" Mrs Finlay spoke trying to hold her anger within her. "Well an angel of cause" the class burst into laughter and Mrs Finlay shook her head. "Ok don't believe me, but one of them is come now.” All of a sudden a massive explosion followed by a whistling sound came crashing through the building creating a cloud of dust that seemed to encapsulate everything around it. Only when the dust settled did we see the winged creature that came crashing through the skies.
“An angel!” everyone gasped with such astonishment that it seemed that everyone's jaw dropped to the floor.
“Ay, was I right or was I right”
The class stared in disbelief as what i had said would come seemingly appeared to them. The only thing that could rival their disbelief was their fear of what could happen next. As the angel rose from the ground it turned its head and stared straight at me, revealing her feminine charm and her decorated lance that she pointed at me. “Ah, what a cutie, darling, mind sparing us from the edge of your lance?”
“What are you doing, your going to get us all killed!” someone from the back of the class cried out. The angel then said in quite a serious tone “Your human flattery will get you nowhere, however since you were the only one able to confront me i will give you the honour of dying first”
“Ah, how sweet of you, however, your going to need to catch me first” closing my eyes and breathing in the air and became immersed in the strange feeling that had excited me earlier. Opening my eyes i looked at a particular spot behind the angel and imagined myself walking to that spot and in a blink of an eye I disappear and appear right behind the angle
“What, where did he go!?” she spoke as she frantically looks for me
“I’m right behind you” i said as i proceed to grab the ass of the angel. “Damn, your ass is soft,” with embarrassment on her face and disgust in her eyes she proceeds to grab me by the neck and lift me of my feet.
“You disgust me, you human swine, now die!” She bellowed at the top of her voice at my face
“Na, i think i’ll pass.” Once again i disappear and reappear behind the angel, before giving a mighty blow to the back of her head sending the angel flying through the window face first and onto the ground two stories below. With everyone’s eyes wide open i menacingly walked over to the demolished window, jumped through it and proceeded to perform a superhero landing.
Getting herself up from the ground, she turned to me and asked me “what kind of a human are you, i never knew of a human that could teleport or punch so hard that it would give a person artificial flight"
“Well i would love to continue this dance, but i have places to be, so i guess it’s time for you to go to sleep” teleporting right in front of the angel i thrust my fist forward straight into her chest breaking the armour and shattering her bones causing internal bleeding. As she collapsed on the ground i pried her lance from her dead fingers and continued to walk to the gates of the school before running to the city.
Upon the heavens the angels fell, however I remember that not all of them were hellbent of the destruction of the human race, i had allies in their mists.
*******
“High elder Marria i think it's time for us to intervene”
“I think you are right Sirteen have the angels that serve under me protect the remaining humans, my only fear is that we are too late to save them”
“All angels of the high elder Marria, take flight and protect the humans! , Kelvin take the sins
And go and look for Mediver”
“Got it however, how am i meant to find him?”
“Just look for the biggest pile of dead angels or the most chaos that's where you'll find him”
“Got it, Lynx, Thunderhorn with me, Dunken, Baren, stay with Sirteen” ordered Kelvin as he jumped off the ledge and plummeted straight down to the earth followed by the sins. A legion of angels soon flocked the skies all having blue shoulder capes on their right shoulders, and like wildfire they quickly started fighting against their angel brothers and sisters quickly dispatching the angels that seeked to destroy the humans.
*******
As i could see the edge of the city i found that it began getting hard to kill the angels that lay in my way and that my human body was getting tired and unknowing if it were possible that i would be able to transform into my true form i was a bit hesitant to get into any large scale battles with the angels.
“Please, someone help!”. A man cried from the other side of the street as a swarm of angels surrounded him. Getting behind cover i look over to the man.
“Great, there’s to many of them” i thought to myself if only i could transform then i could do something, closing my eyes i dig deep within me i to try to find my answer, to try and find my true form. As i dig deeper i start to hear a voice and then i smiled “there we go” suddenly i feel my body start to change, i start becoming taller, more muscularly defined, older and a broken iron halo appears above my head, “yes, finally, now i can do something about those angel”. Grabbing the lance i charge at the angels getting their attention before swiftly cleaving the head off one the angels, watching it role on the floor, then i thrust my hand forward spearing another in the chest and like an aerobatic mad man i start leaping into the air cutting off the heads of two more angels, weaving and dodging the incoming lances from the other angels, i quickly teleport right behind them before swiftly striking their backs leaving them paralyzed on the ground. I then turn my attention to the injured man who stood their petrified and in tears. “Can you walk?” i questioned the man with my new voice that was deeper than my original
“Ya” he replied with a shaky voice
“Then get yourself to safety” i commanded
“Ya….. wait there's a girl in that building”
“I’ll check it out, now go” and as ordered, he ran straight for the hills. “Now then let’s see who’s in here” i enter the building to see a teen of around 18 years lying on the ground unconscious under a pile of rubble. She had short raven black hair, long curly eyelashes and thin pointed eyebrows, with a pale complection, plump rosy cheeks with thin lips. She was covered in soot and ash that seemed to give contrast to her peachish pale skin. Digging her out of the rubble i place my hand upon her chest “i hope this works” i then cast a healing spell “Restoration”. A green light emanates from her body healing her wounds and raising her vitals. "Yah, it worked"
She soon opened her eyes; her eyes coloured a brownish green with a tint of blue. Looking down at where i was touching her, she screamed and quickly pulled herself back, grabbed a piece of wood and pointed it at me. “Get back!” she shouted at the top of her voice
“Whow, calm yourself down we don’t want …..”. All of a sudden her body became flimsy and weak, reaching out i grab her and gently laid her on the floor, with her trying to push me off i placed my hand on her chest and cast the spell “Restoration” and like before a green light started emanating from her body and she started to gain some strength again. “Calm down”. This time she actually listened and allowed me to continue the spell. A while later, she was finally able to sit up right but still unable to walk so i stayed with her to keep her company and to keep her safe.
“Ah.... uh, what your name” she asked in a sort of whisper
“Ste… sorry, Mediver” i replied
"Are you an ….."
"No"
“Oh… uh, my name is Susan”
An awkward silence fell between both of them
“Uh…. Me…. Mediver do you know why they are attacking us?”
“Ya i do, do you want to know”
“Ya i do”
“Well do you want the short explanation or long”
“Short, please” she replied with a giggle
“Well it all started 13,000 years, a….. Wait….. I hear footsteps”
