Descendent: Rebirth of an Angel

The Arch-angel Michael sat in a classroom surrounded by children, human nonetheless, he who was once the leader of the angels of heaven now reduced to a powerless human child he hated it, but more than that he hated his Twin brother for putting him in such position.

Lucifer the Morningstar had killed him and now Michael has been reborn among humans unsure whether he could reclaim his past power or die at the hands of his nemesis again or worse succumb to the petty rivalries and battles of succession between humans in the Bailon dynasty his new family.



All the while something horrible glimmers at the edge of his consciousness an event so catastrophic he left heaven in order to avoid it or prepare for it?

With only fragments of his past memories Michael is confused but one thing is for sure he needs to regain his celestial power to stand a chance against his enemies both apparent and those looming horizon, the appearance of mysterious celestial beasts is his chance to steal their power and ultimately regain his own.



Excerpt:

“A feathered wooden arrow shaft sticks out of my chest, black silky soft things why do they put them there anyway? Not that it matters. Dark red blood pools where the golden tipped arrow struck the chest pulverizing a rib tearing soft lung tissue underneath, breathing is difficult, extremely painful even. Lying on the ground a surface too soft and plain to be natural, blood continues to farther pool at my back, the celestial arrow must have gone through completely.”



You will die

Michael if you go on this journey

You will die



The warm fluid spreads under him almost a comforting presence except for the excruciating pain that comes with the open wound. “Humans! I thought they would love me” A labored chuckle ‘Yet here I am dying as a result of my arrogance, in retro-respect them killing each other ceaselessly should have been sign enough but no I had to heal them!’ strangely he wasn’t angry Elderine’s words reverberated endlessly in his mind.

You will die

You will die



The sky shines twilight in the cloudy afternoon it would rain soon ‘Maybe it will wash away the blood, how optimistic of me.’ Blood continues to pour out ‘Michael the Arch-angel foiled by his kin and humans! Would make for a great poem I want to hear it.’ ‘How would it start…hmm…’ He groaned, life continued to flow out of him endlessly with every drop of his immortal blood.



You will die



A tear dropped from a corner of his eye down the side of his face, ‘Were angels capable of that? I guess so’ Another tear came out then more flowed out in pain, surprisingly he wasn’t crying because he was sad for himself, he had known his fate from the day he left heaven, but for those he couldn’t save, they had to suffer and die due to his recklessness he wouldn’t forgive himself or those who caused it “Elina…...Eva” he tried to shout raspy sounds came from his lips.



You will die,

You will return stronger than before.



Soon he could not breathe any more, the Light became darkness.
