Once
again he woke up at the that place, the same hut where he woke after being
saved by The Woman. But it was darker than before, there’s barely light inside
the hut, only the one glowing from a candle at the top of the drawer table beside the
bed he was laying on.
He
sat himself, and try to gain his full consciousness. "Hello?" he shouted trying to figure out whether The Woman is around or not, but there was no answer. So, he walked himself towards
the door, wanting to check whether was it dark because it was night or something
else. But as he reached the door, he realized something odd. The door handle
was tied up to a small vertical gap between the wall of wooden logs with some
kind of ivy.
The
Angel tried to use his magic to cut the ivy, but he haven't recovered
enough energy yet to use any kind of magic. So he looked around searching for something that
can be used to cut the ivy. He found a small knife inside the small drawer table. But as
he walked back to the door, the ivy moved untying itself from the door handle
and the door was slowly pushed open from the outside. He readied his knife
preparing to defend himself from whatever danger might come from outside the
hut.
“Relax,
its just me” said The Woman after he saw The Angel with a knife on his right
hand. “oh, it’s you. Welcome back. Is it night already?” asked The Angel to The
Woman as she walked inside towards a small fire stove in the middle of the hut.
“not yet, but im going to lower the tree, so dont go out” said The Woman.
“lower the tree? what do you mean? how?” asked The Angel for he didn't
understand what the woman said. “well, i'm gonna make the tree bend it’s trunk so
the leaf will hide this hut from whatever danger might lurks at night time. And
if you ask how, with magic of course, just like when i made the grass
that you fell on grow thicker so that you won’t hit the ground too hard”
answered The Woman. “well, thank you for that. But, magic? you can do magic? I
thought only angels can do magic” said The Angel as he got more confused by the
answer of The Woman.
The Woman turned his
head to The Angel as if she couldn’t believe how lacked of information about
the human world The Angel is, and said “Are you joking or you’ve been living
up there for too long? don't you know? about a thousand years ago, at the time
when most people still saw angels as godly creature, one of these godly
creature flew down to the human world lead by his own curiosity and went to a
castle of a kingdom that was under a chaos caused by rampaging rebellion all
over the kingdom that has been going for quite a long time. He saw a human
queen that was weeping in grief. He asked why was the queen weeping. The queen
said that she had just lost his king on the most recent fight against the
rebellion. And it wasn’t only her lost, but also the lost of her people. She
didn’t know what to do anymore, now that the only person that was capable of
leading the kingdom for so long has died. The angel felt sorry about the lost and as the angels knew that his kind were still considered as the embodiment of god’s mercy and forgiveness, he began to think. After quite a short silence, the angel decided to follow his nature. He offered the queen and her people a salvation. And
knowledge about magic is one of the salvation given, aside from the angel himself going into the frontline leading the fight back against the rebellion in only one day. But in
return...”.
The Angel suddenly cutted The Woman’s talking and said
“but, angel’s magic is a holy type of magic, there is no way human would be
able to do dark magic now if the first magic is taught by an angel!”, “hey, im
done yet! What a rude attitude you have there!” said The Woman back in a grumpy
tone. “oh right, im sorry, ma’am. Please continue” said the angel back. But The
Woman didn’t say a word and the look in her eyes told that she was focusing on
something else. “well?” said The Angel followed by an immediate respond by
motion from The Woman that told The Angel to not say a thing.
After a few seconds trying to focus too, The Angel
finally able to hear what The Woman was also trying to hear more clearly. There
was a heavy breathing from behind the door, right outside the hut. And as both
of them tried to look outside through the gap between woods that made it a
door, the weak glowing
light from the candle flashed out something behind it.
A pair of dark red glowing eyes was staring back at them.
