Josh was down on the ground and he was unconscious. What he had just gone through with Garin trying to get out of him had hurt him badly and he was knocked out because of it. As he lay on the ground motionless, a person walked up to him and rolled him over on his back.The person placed a hand on his chest and a bright light shined just before Josh opened his eyes, gasping back to consciousness. Josh was breathing heavily and was very disoriented so he couldn’t see quite clearly who was bent down in front of him.“Josh? Can you hear me?” The person asked him but Josh’s eyes couldn’t quite focus yet because he was seeing multiple warbled faces in front of him.“Come on, Josh. Focus on me…focus,” The person said again and gently slapped Josh on the face to get him focused.Josh’s vision finally found balance and he could see that the person beside him was Garin. He was in his human form and he had a smile on his face to welcome Josh back to reality.“There he is,” Garin said.“Garin? Is
Hannah and Norae flew up high into the sky while striking their weapons against each other’s. They went blow for blow, hit for hit, light against light, each determined to gain the edge against the other as sparks of lightning generated from the clangs their weapons made as they struck.Norae suddenly did a 360 swirl and swung her spear at Hannah’s chest but she was able to block against the hit. It blasted her across the sky and away from Norae who threw her spear at her. The spear came to a stop in front of Hannah and tried to stab her multiple times by itself. Norae was using her telekinesis to control the spear and attack Hannah with it. Hannah had to be quick and sharp as she blocked the floating spear. Norae called the weapon back to her hand and flew at Hannah again. They continued their dance, slicing and swiping at each other, a series of hits that seemed unlikely to yield a victor because of how equally matched they were. Norae held up her spear with both hands and transfo
The angels were still brawling it out with their fists, trading heavy punches hard enough to break down mountains. Norae was still attacking as relentlessly as ever, not holding back her punches and hitting Hannah with everything she had.Hannah fought back but whenever she did, her sister always had an answer for it. She would throw a punch but Norae would avoid it every time. It was almost like she could read Hannah’s mind and knew what she was going to do before she even did it. Hannah threw another punch but Norae grabbed her arm and threw her over her shoulder. She blasted after her in the sky and punched her on the body multiple times, blasting her across the eye of the desert. Hannah caught one of Norae’s fists and countered with an uppercut of her own. Both of them were bleeding as Norae had a busted lip and Hannah had a bruised eye. They held on to each other and traded blows. Their wings weren’t in use while they exchanged hits so they plummeted from the sky and were fallin
The next morning, Isabelle woke up on Josh’s bed but he was not there with her. He had already left for work a few hours ago because he had to see to some things at the office. She decided to sleep in because she was very tired after what happened to her last night so he left her a note on the nightstand before leaving.She rolled over on the bed and saw the note sitting right there. She reached for it and read its contents out loud, “Good morning, love. Sorry to not have woken up by your side but I had to go to the office. If you don’t have to go home, then I’d like you to stay there and wait for me because I don’t want to come and not find you there. Love you always, Josh,” Isabelle read.She smiled at the note and blushed at his words. She really didn’t have the intention of leaving before because she still had three days to prepare before she’d have to go back to work so she didn’t mind staying over at his place for another night. She got out of bed and went downstairs to Josh’s k
Fawn was locked up in her hearth, shut off from the rest of Heaven, serving her punishment for her disobedience against God that could cost the world to become the Devil’s permanent playground. She was in the dark with no lie around her and it had been a few months in human time but in her time, it felt like centuries. The loneliness was like a prison that trapped her soul from the rays of joy and gladness and she felt empty inside. Angels were normally happy beings, made pure and without sin but just like everything, they could be corrupted and Fawn felt that way entirely.She didn’t feel like an angel anymore and it was fair to feel that way because she wasn’t complete. It hadn’t been that long since her punishment began but she had lost her light and didn’t know if she would ever get it back.Then, she felt a rumble as her hearth rolled open and God moved into it and graced her with his presence. She was not expecting him to come here and yet, here he was.“Father,” She bowed at hi
866 A.DA year passed since the day that tremendous storm struck Amania and miraculously, no one was killed in the hurricane. A lot of buildings were destroyed though and a lot of trees, crops and vegetation were made useless. Schools, tents for prayers, people’s homes, the den of the Elders, and even the hurricane shed suffered major damage.The worst thing the town faced was the destruction of the ship that was being constructed by the men. A ship that was supposed to serve as a milestone in the people’s history; building a vessel that could carry an entire village of people while floating on the ocean. Every part that they had nailed together was ripped apart and they were set back by many years before they would be expected to finish it.The wildlife also suffered as many of their animals were drowned in the storm. Even the natural wildlife in the ocean suffered the rage of the sea. Animals like fish, dolphins, turtles, whales, sharks, marlins and many more were washed off into the
"Garin, are you there?” Hannah called out to him with her hand out for him.“I’m here, my love. I’m right here,” Garin said and took her hand.Isabelle had asked him to move Hannah to Josh’s bed so she could be more comfortable and so he did. He had tried to heal her again but his power to heal was just gone and he couldn’t do anything to help her.“Garin, stop trying. It’s not going to work,” She said to him about trying to heal her wounds.“I don’t understand why this isn’t working. You taught me how to do it in Harlem but why isn’t it working now?” Garin said in frustration. He placed his hands on her body and tried again but she stopped him.“Stop it, Garin, just stop,” She held his hands, “Don’t worry about that right now. I’ll get better soon even if it’s not by your hands.”“What can I do, Hannah? Tell me what I can do to make you feel better,” He asked, desperate to ease her pain in any way he could.“Tell me the story about the painter, the Queen and the King. I always loved
“What do you need me to do for you?” Selene asked Jennifer.Selene was a woman who looked like she was in her late fifties. She was African-American and had a luscious head of grey dreadlocks. She was wearing a dress made of African-inspired prints and had a head tie on. She also had a scar on her left eye and just four fingers on her right hand. Overall, she was a strange-looking lady and anyone would be weary of her and her voodoo but not Jennifer.Jennifer liked the woman’s looks because it made her feel convinced that she was a legit shaman and would be able to help her accomplish her goal to get Josh for herself.“I want to speak to someone and I need your help to summon them,” Jennifer said to the shaman.“Who do you wish to speak to? A dead relative, a ghost from a past life, a…”“A demon,” Jennifer cut in, “I want you to help summon a demon,” She said again.The shaman looked at her with shock and awe in her one good eye. This was a strange request, the strangest she had ever
