Capítulo 93: Wasn't Expecting That

Channeling all my anger and hatred at this thing causes the blue flames to grow, casting the entire roof in an eerie blue hue as I collide with the demon. The demon flies back and hits the roof, nearly going through it when I land on top of it.

It tries to separate itself again but I refuse to let that happen again by driving an enchanted blade into each shoulder, pinning it to the roof. I start collecting all my magic and power into my right hand, watching with delight as the blue fire drips from my fist like blue lava.

I lift my hand and say "Go back to hell where you belong!" Three or four faces shift in and out, twisting in anger and viciousness, snapping at me like a wild animal as I bring my fist down. Suddenly, the roof under the demon shifts.

The demon is pulled away within seconds before the hole closes with a snap. My fist collides with the roof and goes straight through! I quickly call my powers back and watch as the fire and everything else dissipates.

I quickly crawl away from the crumbling hole with shaking hands. What the hell!? Someone or something pulled the demon away before I could kill it... Suddenly, something lands in front of me, blinding me in the process!

I quickly cover my eyes and scramble to my feet, covering my hands in magic as my eyes adjust. What I see has my brain slightly flatlining... Large, white, and golden wings unfold themselves as a man with shoulder-length honey-colored hair stands to his full height.

When his honey-colored eyes lock onto my silver-blue eyes, several seconds of silence pass between us. Is that... is he... an angel??? He looks me over with a clinical look before saying "Name" I blink a few times and wonder if this is some kind of hallucination or something.

"Name!" He raises his voice at me and I watch with worry when the air around us shudders at it. I swallow hard and say "Eris... Hallows... you?" I know, I'm incredibly intelligent with my words... He narrows his honey eyes at me before looking down at my hands still covered in magic.

I quickly call my magic back but keep it close, just in case. He looks me over once more before saying "You have a little bit of everything... Why are you trying to kill the demon?" I frown at him and say "If you met that thing, you'd share my feelings as well. What's it to you?"

Have I officially lost my damn mind? Maybe.. possibly... yes. I get a little retarded when I'm nervous and my retard is fully showing in front of this... angel? Either it's an angel of some kind of bird person.

"What's it to me? An angel coming down here to the human realm only happens when demons forget their place and start wreaking havoc amongst the humans. So tell me, do you have something to do with this?"

My face goes blank as I find myself in a horribly sticky situation. Do I lie and say no? Can you even lie to an Angel? Will I be smited in the spot I stand?? Well... am I really lying though? I didn't technically do this so it technically isn't my fault... right?

"Eris Hallows!" He bellows at me, startling me a little as I squeak out "I didn't make that thing or call it here but it is after me. I don't really know why but I feel like they want to use..." I quickly snap my mouth shut and stare at the angel in horror.

Maybe you really can't lie... He narrows his eyes at me and suddenly, he's before me. His hand quickly reaches out and swipes at my neck where the demon had cut me earlier. I quickly jerk back and bring my hand up to cover the scratch but my white blood is already on his fingers.

I use my magic to quickly erase my blood but he seems unbothered by it as he looks back at me and says "Interesting... this was a gift given to someone a very long time ago. How do you now possess it?" I swallow hard and look around like a rat looking for an escape route but his voice brings me back when he says "Don't bother. I have this entire area blocked off. Now, answer me."

I resign to my fate and say "Queen Cara gave it to me..." He looks mildly surprised before stepping closer to me and narrowing his eyes in suspicion as he asks "How?" I swallow hard but know that I can't lie. I have no idea if this is just a side effect of being before an angel or some kind of power he has but I give in and stop fighting it.

He could probably smoosh me like a bug... I take a deep breath and say "My mother was killed by that demon... I lost myself to the pain and sorrow, drinking myself stupid and using a time spell to try and save her but I ended up waaaaay in the past. I met Queen Cara there and she helped me... she said it was a gift."

He stares down at me with a thoughtful expression before saying "Interesting" That's the second "Interesting" in the last few minutes. It's starting to make me a little uneasy. He looks me over once again in that same clinical way before saying "Can I assume you won't be stopping until you kill this demon?"

Confused, I slowly nod my head in agreement as he nods his head and says "In that case, I will give you a gift as well. Just so you know, you can hurt and possibly kill other demons with that demon fire you have but you'd have to be much stronger than them in order to accomplish that so I will help give you an edge."

He slowly lifts his hand, causing me to take a nervous step back and wave my hands at him saying "Oh no no no. I'm good, really!" He keeps a straight, unbothered face as he says "Eris Hallows. From this day forward, the heavens will be watching you and if we ever feel like you're abusing the power you hold... you'll be imprisoned without trial. I hope you won't disappoint us."

Suddenly, I'm hit with a powerful blast and everything turns white!
