DEATH
I deliver the final blow on the boy as my sword pierces his heart and I feel a tear drop from my eyes. For a second there I felt something I have never felt my whole life. For a moment when that boy started attacking me with all he had I felt fear.
I was born death and I have always been that. The one thing no one can avoid except they attain Supreme Status or Immortal Level. I have never v even defeated and I have never been sacred of anyone. But as that boy used the Command Voice on me I felt fear. Fear washed over me and I couldn't but do as he reuested.
As the words poured out of me in sheer force and against my will I was scared. Scared that a creature exist who could command me. Only a single creature has the power to effect a command on me, Angels. Knowing that a mortal had that much power over me scared me!
As I dealt the final blow to him I felt relief. A mortal is not supposed to have such power over me. I can't let any mortal like that live. He passed the test to attain Pre-Supreme Status, but I couldn't let him live. If he lives he will be a massive danger to me and all I stand for. I can't allow that!
Just as I move to pull out my sword intense pressure descends upon me. A mssive aura fills the air and I fall back from the body. The boy's body begins to emit a powerful aura unlike anything I have ever felt before. His body starts to glow a very bright golden color as golden flames begin to cover his skin. The flames poured out of his body and within a minute his whole sjin was engulfed in golden flames. My sword disintegrates totally and I couldn't hide my gasp as the flame becomes a ball around him and starts growing larger but the second.
I try to keep my distance from the flames but I couldn't avoid it. Within a minute all lava around rose and blended with the flames. The flames spins around him fast and powerful. I try to move but the intense pressure kept me stuck. The last I saw was the flames exploding and as the flames licked my skin I scream in agony as I disintegrate into nothing.
He cannot be?
They are extinct!
If he is one of them we are all doomed!
SAMAEL
As the sword pierces my heart I welcome the calm embrace of death and darkness takes over my vision. In that dark a large screen shows before my eyes with a message. It was a golden screen and it's words were written in the most beautiful Blood Red pen letterings.

The final screen shows and disappears and I am finally plunged into eternal darkness as my consciouness floats around.
---AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE HOURS ---
I am back at that dark space again. I'm in the midst of the 4 shinning light. However, this time was different, two of the the lights float to me. The electric blue light and the elemental pillars float towards me and besoge I know it they are being absorbed into my consciousness. It felt like a million pins were piercing my skin all around and I felt a rush of fiery hot pain flow through my body.
Usually I don't feel anything when I am here but this time I could feel everything and it was all pain. From the toes on my feet to the hairs on my head, everything was burning hot and was painfully sore. The pain was unending and just as it thought it will ended another huge wave of pain will wash over me!
What is happening to me! Slowly my consciousness starts to fade and just as another wave of pain pours over me again I cry
"Please make it stop! I'll give anything!" I scream into air but no one hears as the pain continues and I slip into total nothingness.
AT THE FIRST MANSION
GANAEAS FIRST
I was lounged on a couch as father paced the length of the room repeatedly. It's been a solid month since Michael and his Warrior Aid have gone into the Trial Gate. In that time the kingdom has been sent into a massive uproar.
News of the boy who increased his maagi pool has spread quickly among the nobles and royals and the whole kingdom has been shaking at its root.
The Council has now been divided into 3 faction. One faction is with the Academy Principal who believe the boy has the prospect of becoming one of the most powerful being to walk this realm and therefore they want him protected.
The Second Faction is with my family, and this faction are on the ground that the growth was not real because he was wrongly tested, and no nameless orphan can have any power flowing though his blood.
The final faction is with the Commander of the Royal Army, Duke Seleas Knighlet. He and his supporters believe that the boy being an unrecognized could mean he is from a dangerous or unstable family, making him a threat to the peace of the nation. He even went as far as saying the boy could be from one of the other Continent and therefore an enemy of ours.
All three factions have argued and argued on about the boy, but one thing has been a constant, the boy must be found! The king has remained neutral through it all, at least until the boy is found.
Since my brother took him on his Trip to the Ultimate Trials, our family has been on the hot seat. As the strongest Warrior Angel-Blessed Descendants Family, everyone has been careful with attacking us, but the stares of disdain, and the constant meetings between father and king have been a clear indication that our luck was slowly coming to a nought.
Father paces a little further before he slouched on his seat behind the desk and furiously clears his whole table in one sweep. Father has been on edge all through, and the threat from the Academy Principal doesn't make it any better.
Once he heard the news of the call and Michael's decision he came back home instantly and since then he has been trying to clean up this mess to no avail. He is still fuming when Matilda walks into the room as ringing is heard in both our heads.
"What is that? Who is on the line?" Dad asks still enraged and the pressure of his aura was pressing on us both. He notices and dampens it!
"I don't know, Sir. It's for you" she says and he shakes his head before picking up the call!
"Who is on the line?" He asks and I couldn't hear the person's replies but Father jerks up on his seat. "you found him? Where?" He asks hastily and he nods a the person replies "is the boy with him?" He asks and as his face falls I could tell it was not the answer he wanted he got. "Anyways! Thank you, someone will come pick him up now" he says and hangs up the call.
"Who was that, dad?" I ask and he faces me
"An official from the gate. Your brother was found unconscious at the gate." He replies and I couldn't help the frown that lace my lips. He made it out of the trial alive? Now he is back to receive accolades from the people in the kingdom and Father! How can life be so unfair!
"What about the boy?" I ask not dwelling on my brother's arrival.
"He is still nowhere to be found." Dad replies crestfallen and I sigh heavily. "I would have asked people to go after him but it's even a miracle your brother made it back." He says and I nod in response.
"We don't even have any men to spare with the weight of Master's threat hanging over our heads." I reply trying to rile him up. He slams his hands on the desk cracking it in half at once.
"No one threatens my family, no matter who they are!" He snaps at me with fiery eyes and I nod.
"If not for Michael we won't be in this mess. What was he thinking?" I say and dad's frown deepens. It's working! I'll poison Dad against Michael.
"We will know when he wakes up. He sure has a lot of explaining to do!" Dad mutters grimacing and my smile widens. If you don't disappear I can use this to spoil your image.
Let's see how you become the head of this family, Michael when you can't even show your face in public!
The games are on!
