IMMORTALITY

“You cannot go against the rule Kierra!” his voice sounds like a thunder, though I am facing the ground I could sense that his face was curving a lot from the rage that he had from me. I think all eyes are in me right now, I can feel it.

“Master, just for this time forgive me.” my face was kissing hard the ground

“Forgive thy servant my lord Biel, she’s too young and curious.” A word from my lovely mother

“You cannot intercede and change whatever you please to, from this day onward you will be punished, your sword and armor will be taken away from you, you will defend your human with just your ability and with less of the mighty power.”

“That’s too much my lord!” I lift my face and our eyes met “How can I protect someone if I am of no armor?” his stare seems to get inside my heart, it is very sharp

“And how dare you lift your eyes on our master Kierra!” my mother with her trembling voice. “Again my master, forgive thy servant, we accept whatever consequence it is.” She is kneeling and bowing her head down, I am forced to do so.

The master of the army, lord Biel rode his horse and went on with his two royal guards. My mother lifts me up and look me in my eyes, “My dear, we do not speak that way with the master. We cannot speak and argue with the law. They are chosen by our Holy God to rule over us. We just need to follow them and never argue with the rule.”

“But mother! How can they let a little child die?”

“They know the future. We never meddle with human lives my dear, we are guardian angels, we only help them and protect them against the evil spirits around, we don’t show ourselves to them, and most of all we do not act against the rule. The boy must die! But now you see, he needs to live his life homeless and orphan. You changed everything by making yourself known.”

“This is better than dying young”

“My daughter please refrain from thinking higher than the master… do you remember what I told you before?”

“what happen to those angels who go against the rule?”

“Yes my dear. I don’t want you to lose wings and be one of those fallen angels.”

“I am just trying to help…”

“I know, but it changes everything that was written.”

I regain my duty and was back on guarding the little boy that I saved. He was the first human I am to guard with, for decades on heaven I’ve been trained to fight and now is my time to be on earth and fight an actual battle of spirits. But I guess I failed, and this is my second chance.

 I watched him starve and get cold, I watched him cry and grow. A day in heaven is far more different than a day on earth. My armor was gone and same with my other powers, I will be like this for one month. A month equivalent to decade on earth. Day by day I started to understand why they want him dead. Sometimes I wish he will not wake up from his sleep and will be gone so that his sufferings will end. I saw him grow strong, there are days that I try to manifest as an old man giving him food or penny. There are days I pretend to be one of his classmate and hand him help. As far as I know we are only forbidden to reveal our identity to them, thus I only show myself in disguise.

I watched him sleep and every time he is trying to do something bad I try to kill the evil around him. The things are, there are too many evil around him. They love to feed on the bitterness that Harold has in the life he’d been with. The more he harbors it in his heart the stronger they become.

We call them Eater, because they only grow when something unholy comes out of the man’s heart. They grow as human desire evil thoughts and even hide anger, lust or any of its kind. Whatever things that are not from the Lord the Eaters were being fed off.

Harold has a lot of Eaters surrounding him every day. Today, I am fighting six of them with my bare hands and the skills that was left in me for decades of trainings. I cannot let them eat another portion of Harold’s mind and heart. He must think of the happy thoughts; he is running fast from the owner of the bag he just stole with. He was fourteen years old, homeless and starving. He run out from the orphanage he is staying to find his sister, but he failed. Thus, he was walking and begging on the busy street of Toronto.

I am all wounded and tired, but I cannot let them over take his soul, the police were chasing him down. I am torn from fighting and looking at him. One of the Eater manage to thrust his sword on my knee. I took it and slash him with the same sword. I run and follow the other Eaters that is tailing Harold. He turned left on the abandoned alley and bumped on an old man. He fell and the man took the bag from him. I watched them from afar, the Eaters were surrounding Harold they are waiting for one wrong move he will make before they all get into his heart. The old man told him to hide inside the garbage bin, he took the bag and wait for the police to come and told them that he was able to redeem the bag and the boy run on the other way.

“Get out now boy.” The old man tap the garbage bin and Harold went out with grease and dirt all over him.

“Thank you Mr.” he’s cleaning his body as if he could take away all the dirt and the smell, the old man took a small brown pouch and hand it to Harold.

“Go buy yourself a decent cloth and food. You promise never to steal again.” And he walks by, leaving Harold in awestruck. He opens the pouch and found $1000. It was enough to buy him a decent cloth and a meal. For the first time, Harold developed hope on humanity. He sees a bit of light in the life he thought was all cruel. The Eaters lose strength and I got a good chance of slaying them, but before I finish them all, three of them manage to flee.

He used some of money and make it grow, at age of fifteen he was trading penny stocks. He earns enough to send himself to college. Harold work so hard to keep his scholarship and finish college with high honor. He makes a good money thru trading and was able to make a name at age of 20. He was successful in his career as an engineer in fact a lot of huge company wants him.

With the money and name that he made he was known as the youngest Billionaire by Forbes this year. But with all those things his heart is empty, Harold never stop looking for her sister. Today he is excited to finally meet her. If he could.

“Kierra, today is the day. If you cannot watch it happen then I suggest you stay here.” An advice from Gideon my good Redeemer friend. They are what we call “the Redeemer”, while I am a guardian (guardian angel as what people say), there are angles like Gideon in which come down to earth to Redeem people’s life, literally to get someone’s life.

“Of all the day, why today?”

“Well, it was actually not today, this is a past due task Kierra.” Reminding me of what I did 14 years ago

“Sure… but why can’t you let him meet her sister first?”

“Here we go again.” He leans his head to me, hold my chin with his cold right hand and say “We do not question the command; we just do it.” With this distance, I could clearly see his deep green eyes with dark brown lining, it sparkles when he speaks even if he is angry he looks so good. His muscular chest fit his breast plate very well, on his back is a huge two-edged sword that he uses to redeem lives. He is riding on a dark shinny horse he named as Hugo.

I watched him as he went down, I choose not to look at how he will be going to redeem Harold. I’ve seen him redeem lives before and it always pity me to see human dying. But well, all should die. I wonder why they never let Harold see her sister, for many years they created a lot of obstruction. Those are the question I am curious with, but was afraid to ask because I can’t afford to lose my power again.

I went down and watch from distance, I could hear Harold’s happy thoughts about seeing his sister. He has a lot of plan in his head. He is a longing brother, what on heaven do we want? Why can’t we just let him be happy and have his only family back? Gideon is waiting on the other edge of the highway; he took his sword and wave it, in an instance it goes into Harold’s consciousness. In a second he bumped into another vehicle, and I found myself inside his car covering him.

A dark light surrounds us, a man whom I don’t know is pulling me away from Harold’s body.

“You cannot do that guardian!” he is shouting at me; I wave my hand and gave him a blinding light, he was gone. Is he a Redeemer too? How come I don’t know who he is?
