Aaron's POV
"Aaron! The General wishes to see you and the members of Team E immediately!" A young boy exclaim when he step into my room and I look up from the newspaper that I am reading, frowning as I do so. I know that normally the General will not call this late or too early but judging from the tone of the boy, I know something is really wrong.
"What is it, Brendan?" The boy who is known as Brendan looks down at his shoes.
"I don't know sir." I groan and put the newspaper that I was reading down on the table. I see Aragorn and the others giving me a questionable glance and I shrug.
"We better get ready. The General wants to meet us." They nod and we all prepare ourselves to meet the General.
----the General's office----
"Team E. I am glad that all of you are here." The others and I nod as the General say so.
"The reason why I need you guys to come here is because we are to meet a special someone." We all ask questions at the General but he hold his hand up.
"All will be answered in time. For now, let's go aas they do not like us being late to their meeting." We all nod and the General use his magic to teleport us there.
-----Nephilim Council meeting-----
"Hello boy. You look so much like your father." I open my eyes and I see myself staring at the figures sitting on their thrones respectively, smiling at me. The only thing I think of seeing their smile is......
"Oh shit." I curse under my breath because the General didn't specify on who we are meeting as I thought it is about his girlfriend but I never know it is them.
If only I know I'll meet them, I would have dressed better anyways.
"Hey dude, are you okay?" I turn to my left to see a young man with angel wings asking me rudely while looking at me in concern and I freeze up.
Wait what?! They have wings?!
"Are you okay?" I turn to my right and see a young girl with angel wings holding my sleeves and ask me. "Sorry for my brother. Some times he is that rude to people." I accept her apology and she grin.
"Anyway, who are you? What are you and what am I? the girl frown at me.
"Well, I am Lyrica and my older brother who was rude to you just now is Nathel." The young man whose name is Nathel grins cheekily while waving his hand at me.
"As for what I am, My brother and I are fallen angels." I stare at her in shock and disbelief.
"Seriously?" She nod and I grin.
"As for what are you, well, the Council is going to tell you about this today." I stare blankly at the young girl and she nod. I sigh and look up to see the leader of the fallen angels to clap his hands at me.
"That is interesting. You may go now, Lyrica and Nathel." They nod and fly away leaving me and my friends, who are standing and glancing in wonder of the structure of the place.
"Aaron Eosphoros." I stare at the leader in silence as he smile.
Why did he sound so familiar?
"Hello Aaron. I am Satan, the leader of the Nephilim Council." I gasp and bow as I know who he is.
"You grown so much and you look like your father now. Do you still remember the mark that I gave you when you were still a kid?" I nod and take out my right hand from my pocket. I take off the glove on my right hand that I always wear to hide the mark and everyone except the council members and Satan gasp as they see the mark. I stare at it to realize that it had faded into a thin mark.
"What is it?" My friends ask Satan and he smile.
"A protection charm. I use the ancient language to cast this charm to keep him safe in hopes that he do not need to go against his ancestor. Unfortunately now is not the case." The others stare at me.
"Why didn't you tell us?" I stare guiltily at the ground but Satan answer their question.
"It is because I told him not to." Everyone just keep quiet and Satan smile serenely at me.
"Aaron, can you ask one of your friends to stay back here while the rest can leave to the guest room?" I nod and ask Aragorn to stay back while Yako and the others retreat to the guest room.
"Thank you. Now, for serious matter. I am to tell you of your heritage since your protection charm is almost breaking. As you know, once you turn 21 exactly on your birthday, your protection charm will truly break and that your ancestor will know where you are in and that is the perfect time that your father and I will tell you your heritage." I see my father walk up to me and smile sadly.
"I am sorry Aaron. Satan had ordered me to keep this secret from you until you are ready." I hug my dad and smile.
"It's okay dad. I love you. Always." My dad smile and say that he loves me too and he nod at Satan to say that it is time. Satan nod and look at me with a serious expression.
"Aaron, your ancestor is the traitor of this council, Lucifer." I gasp as well as Aragorn and we both stare at each other in the eye for a minute then we break our stare.
"How?" I ask Satan as he look at me guiltily.
"He fell in love with a human and give birth to his youngest son, your first descendant of Lucifer. Then because that each descendant of Lucifer have the gene, I could track who is the descendant of Lucifer. Your dad is one so you are one too because your dad married your mum and give birth to you." I look at him in shock and he lower his head.
"I should have look out for you better as your guardian besides your dad because well, he pleaded me to be your guardian and because I owe him a favor for saving my life." I hug Satan and smile warmly at him. He just stare at me dumbfounded.
"Are you sure? I mean I let you go through this hardship and....."I playfully boop Satan on the nose and smile forgivingly.
"It's okay you silly guardian of mine. It's because of your protection mark that I am alive and well for 18 years and it is already a sign that I trust you even if I had went through all this painful experience. Also, thanks for being my guardian for so long and I love you, Satan." I hug Satan and he cry on my shoulders, shoulders sagging because being released of the guilt that he carries for so long. Suddenly I feel a strong gust of wind and I feel myself being pushed back. When I look up, I see Satan putting an arm in front of me and face the intruder. I quickly stand up and walk up towards Satan but he hold me back.
"Aaron! Don't be a fool! He is powerful, more powerful than half of the council!" He banish his sword at the intruder but I put my hand on his arm, immediately calm him down.
"Whoever that person is, I will always stand by your side as I am an adult now. I can take care of myself and my friends, Satan." Satan look like he want to protest while I say that but looking at my face filled with determination, he sigh and he hold my hand tightly.
"Be careful." I nod and mention at Aragorn to my side. He quickly leap to my side and look at Satan and I for orders. I mention at him to come to my side and he nod, making us forming a formation with our weapons pointing at the intruder. The intruder smirk evilly and look at Satan.
"It's been so long. isn't it Satan?" Satan grit his teeth at the intruder.
"You are not welcome here, Lucifer." the intruder who is being introduced as Lucifer smile and look at me.
"I am not but he is welcome?" I glance at Lucifer confused but Satan grit his teeth menacingly at Lucifer.
"Because you betrayed us. That's why Lucifer." Lucifer wave his hand and Satan crash into a wall. I run up to Satan but Lucifer lifts his hand and I stay frozen, unable to move.
"You're my descendant huh? So weak in heart, aren't you." I growl at Lucifer, trying to make myself move but I still haven't move an inch.
"I'm giving you a proposition. Join me or die fighting for the people. I will give you until the end of this week and by then you must tell me which side you are on." Lucifer waves his hand and I feel that I could move. I glare at him but he is not affected by my glare.
"I know that you hate me but you should hate the society more. They push you away when you need them but in the end you are always alone......" Lucifer put his and on my face and pull my face to face him. "....just like me." He gently caress my face like a mother does to her child.
"You no need to hide your true self. I know it as I have been the same. You feel sad because you lost two of your best friends and you feel angry that people let you be alone now do you?" I stare at Lucifer, not realizing that tears are running down my face until I feel a hand gently brushing my cheek.
"I'll see you soon, my descendant but you have to make your stand by the end of the week. Remember what I say." Lucifer disappear into thin air and I stare at the spot that Lucifer had been standing at earlier until I hear a groan. I run to the direction of the sound and see Satan trying to stand up. I gently take his arm and lift him up. He grin sadly at me and just look at me in the eye.
"S-Sorry. I am just to weak......" He faints and I hurriedly bring him to his room and nurse his wounds. I also do a healing spell to heal his broken ribs and a few broken bones. I stare sadly at him and kiss Satan on the forehead.
"Thank you for protecting me. I love you, Satan." I walk out of his room, closing his room's door as I go as someone stares at me from the shadows.
"I guess that it is time for him to use his true power huh, Amera?" A boy ask a young girl besides him and the young girl besides him named Amera nod.
"Don't worry brother. He will know it in time."
