Arc 2:- Indescribable steps
Chapter->23 : faceless angel
Chime!
Myale held onto the pendent she wore, given by Hein as she started walking.
It was no wonder that the golden dust was alluring and seductive. And to someone like Myale it was irresistible. As her eyes shined she looked aroud and walked on a straight path.
Whoosh!
Two humanoid females with wings spanning behind them were flew. Angels?...Myale muttered.
Her instinct worker faster and she spotted pale-gray ruins nearby that was nearly destroyed with just some walls and pillars towering double the height of a normal person with moss and vines on it.
She sneaked behind a part of wall and began processing what she saw. I really am in Heaven...
One of the angels had chocolate brown skin, black hair and golden brown wings. The other one was milk-white with curvy body and two snow-white wings moving behind her back as the jeweleries she had wore like necklaces, pendent, earrings, rings were shining gracefully.
Myale's grip tightened on the charred brick as the dust slowly fell onto ground and the angels in Myale's sight stayed firm on their spot. The luster on their body was even attracting Myale to some extent. A slight slip of her hand and she fell side-ways drawing the attention of the angel-duo unintentionally. The angels vanished on their spots and appeared right behind Myale as the dust in the ground flew apart.
With no way to defend her she lifted her arms and surrendered while her gaze was locked onto the eyes of the golden-brown angel.
"Who you must be?" The Golden-brown angel asked.
Without any intent to maintain secrecy Myale spoke.
"I'm Myale." Her body was frozen by the menacing aura emitted by both angels as she decided to aim her life onto her luck.
These two doesn't look weak...the white angel raised her hand, her palm facing Myale as she closed her eyes and chanted something in a mysterious language.
"I. You. Let the connection be formed, let me seek into the world hidden from eyes. The light within this being, a hope, a ray."
A mysterious pattern illuminsted behind her palm resembling a three-pupilled eye manifested. The colourful sparkles slowly disintegrated in thin air. The chants left an faint echo that soon submerged in void.
"So, what did you saw?" The Golden-brown angel spoke as Myale's eyebrows twitched.
What was that...?
"She is a 'Sprouting angel'." A sprouting angel? Sprouting...means potetial? And Angel. My system was assosciated with heaven too. I think if I just cooperate a little bit...
Myale's expression changed into curiosity that one couldn't ignore.
"Sprouting angel? Seems something mystical. Can you elaborate?" This was probably the first time I had spoken like this...Myale lampooned on herself.
The Golden-brown angel looked at the white angel and nodded on the expression.
The Golden-brown angel crossed her arms and spoke. "Look I'll explain it once. Either you get it or..."
"I'll make sure." Myale bit the bullet.
"This place is a battleground. An arena for us Fallen ones, this realm is 'THE FEET' of heaven. In this place we have to form alliances and defeat any threat until we rise up to become an FarAngel, a Great one. The Farangels are the angels who resides in the 'WING' realm of heavens with Valkyries. Every angel has different classifications based on their core. A 'Core' can some in any variations with no fixations. I'm a 'SUN-KISSED' angel, Krupia and the one behind you is a 'LIGHT-BURNED' angel, Sophia. I posses powers related to the Sun and Sophia posseses the powere related to the light."
Phew! Krupia let out a big sigh then a deep breath to regain her calm. Heaven...Great ones and Fallen ones...core. Myale thought for a second then spoke with a sweet gesture.
"May I join your alliance as well, if you don't mine. I'm alone here." Myale proposed as Sophia looked at Krupia for the answer.
"W‐Well, I don't mind but... you aren't a grown angel and we can't bear to carry any liability here." She stammered brutally. Myale looked at Sophia and asked in phenomenal agony.
"Please do something. I'm do not want to die on this holy land! Isn't there anyway? You said I have sprouting core right?" The puppy eyes always work.
"I can forcefully extract your power and make you bloom but that might hurt!" Sophia replied as Krupia watched Myale make a decision.
"Are you sure?" Krupia asked.
"I am." Myale spoke with bits of hesitation plastered over her face which were obviously fake as with a heart of an assassin she bore no fear. She sat down, crossed her legs and closed her eyes. Krupia took two steps behind as her giant wings behind her back appeared menacing and beautiful.
Sophia touched Myale's back with her hand and started reciting some words as a magic circle shaped-like mobius strip formed around their area, covering Myale and Sophia in it. Words expaneded and shrunk on the strip like golden stamps of illusions.
A three-pupilled eyes like symbol appeared behind Sophia's hand as her bright wings spread wide while being illuminated by the mobius strip's golden aura around them.
She started chanting.
"O Great ones, O Fallen ones, O Youngest Life, O oldest death.
I
Request
Requiem."
Myale realised the more dense the chanting became the uncomprehensible it became, like whispers. She opened her eyes and saw herself in a dark void in which she was floating. A circle with many mobius strips glowing heavenly were rotating around it in all manners, she grew her hand towards it merging her essence with it. The moment her fingers touched the sphere.
Boom!
All kinds of colours were exploded from it and she opened her eyes.
...
Krupia was looking at Sophia after completing her ritual as Sophia gently flew upwards in the air using her wings. She muttered.
"Now everything depends on her." As her words ended Myale stood on her place and an exploding light blinded Krupia and Sophia as they saw Myale's hair colour change to blonde-Golden. Her dress entirely change into white gown and lignt pink wings tore out from her...
Lower-waist, large ethereal wings they had never seen like before with subtle hints of pink and another pair of small wings tore from sides of her neck and hid her face behind them as if hiding a sacred secret. Her hands were glowing with Golden aurora.
Slowly it calmed down and Myale's face faced in their direction as she spoke. "It feels weird but I think waist-wings aren't that bad?" She had no idea about her face being covered by wings from her vision it seemed like eyelashes which existed but didn't mess with vision.
"Can you see it? Look! Here.." Krupia waved her hand as Myale's faced locked onto her hand's direction creepily.
"Ofcource, I can see it. You are talking like my eyes are covered from wings or something." Myale ran her fingers through her hair as she took a deep breath. The wing pendent on her bosom shone bright which Hein had prepared for her.
"You're not gonna believe what I'm 'bout to say.." Krupia replied as Sophia landed softly.
"This looks such a unique and beautiful manifestation of core!" Sophia praised.
"Wait..." Myale moved her hands around her face and caressed the wings...
"No way!" She remarked as she tried to clench her jaw, eyes, nose but the wings didn't open.
"Don't worry if you can see that's enough this might be your power!" Krupia comforted as Sophia grabbed Myale's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Sophia's forehead shone with a tri-pupil eyed symbol.
"Her powers are related to...secrecy. Her angelic name is the 'Faceless angel'."
