CHRONICLES OF THE FOURTH HORSEMAN

STEPS

"I think I found something, its not much but...its something,"Tom got up from where he was seated and walked towards Ophie.Ophie looked on the book for a while then he looked at Duke." He, you summoned Azzy ones, how did you do it?," he asked.Duke looked at everybody for a while before resting his eyes on me.Just remembering that day made me mad and he knew it.But this time I didn't remember but still he looked at me to make sure I was okey, which of course I wasn't but I had to act cool as maybe it would be the only me to communicate with Michael.

"The elements had given me this spell that I had to follow.It was a bit specific but I think if we replace Azzy's name with Phanuel's it would work," he answered still looking at me.He then took a pen and a book provided to him by one of the bunker's animated furniture.He wrote down the whole process including the incantation but with Phanuel's name instead of mine.The next hour was spent looking for the ingredients needed for the spell.Geo and Miss Griffin were the best people to go out looking for those that were far away while the bunker helped look for the ones that could be found inside.

Within the hour everything was ready and we were good to go.Duke made the trap and he as he was repeating the incantation I remembered something.I remembered hearing his voice in my head as he was summoning me.With his every word I remembered something else.However, that didn't last for long as some unusual things started happening.The bunker shook almost as if there was an earthquake and fell silent through the rest of the ritual.We could hear thunder from outside which grew louder and louder for the next few minutes.But then it stopped.There was a bright flash in the bunker and then everything went dark.

"Its about time Azzy," a voice came from inside the trap.The lights went back on just as Ophie was going for his flash light.The bunker also came back to life claiming it was in pain for sometime.Everything then cooled down and we all turned our full attention towards the voice in the trap.It was Phanuel."Phanuel, its you...wait, I remember you, how comes I remember you?," I said not sure whether I needed the answer or not.I went towards the trap which was drawn using chalk and I tried to break it.I was however thrown back by what felt like an electric shock.I had totally forgotten that the damn thing was angel prove and even though I didn't have my powers, I still had angel blood flowing in my veins.On seeing what had happened, Ophie moved forward and broke the perfect circle leaving Phanuel free.

We all waited to see what her next move would be.I expected her to say something nasty before flapping her huge black wings out of the bunker.She however didn't make even a slight move.She sat mid air over the circle and looked at each one of us in turns.We all sat back quietly and waited."Thank you for saving me guys.I really hoped you would think of this, and oh, I don't mind being inside the trap if it makes you feel secure," Those were the first ever like polite humane words I had ever heard from her.Not that she was ever bad or anything, no, angels are pure goodness and all that is true, but they work under heavens will and they are never emotional or unnecessarily talkative.They are kind but the only way they show that is through actions and not words.

"I am sorry I had to hide your memories and powers from you.It was the only way I could keep you hidden from the heavens.I am also sorry that I do t have the answers to your questions but I will tell you a few things.You still have your memories with you, I just hid them inside by giving you a human soul which unfortunately I have no idea how to remove.I also hid you inside a human body so you could recover from the injuries induced by the spite power.You can have your power back, but you are stuck with a human body.You can however rest assured that it will hold you and your previously adverse knowledge of everything which had tore your last human body.All you have to do is learn to live a double life so you will be Azrael whenever need be and Mall whenever Azrael is not needed.You ones wanted your emotions back.You wanted to sleep and eat like the rest of your friends,now is your chance," She said.

I watched her talk and I didn't know whether to feel good or bad about whatever she had done to me to keep me alive.I was grateful for that but at the same time I was afraid of myself.It was hard having to live under heavens will while I was just an angel, who was to predict what I would do now that I neither belonged to heaven or to earth? Being an angel means not having a choice but to serve heaven and earth.Being both was unheard of.I was more than a fallen angel now, I was an abomination.From the beginning of time, Nephilims were not allowed to live on earth.Being a hybrid of angels and humans saw to it that they were not angels nor humans.The almighty therefore ordered the be eliminated and non of them lived anymore.I was neither a nephilim, nor an angel nor a human.That had to be hard to live with, but I planned to do it a step at a time.At least I was alive and okey.Maybe thanking Phanuel was what I should have been doing instead of over thinking the situation.

"Thanks Phanuel, though I don't get it.Why did you save me after you had asked me to run and wishes me good luck and told me there was nothing you could do? why didn't you come down to check on me after the spiting or at least tell them about my where about ?," I asked her, this time eager to get the answers.

"I needed to convince everyone in heaven that I was not going to involved in anyway.That was the reason why I called you so you could come to heaven where angel radio was always open for every angel to hear.When you were there, I was busy planning how to save you which I told the elements anonymously immediately after you left.I also asked them not to say anything so you could work your way into summoning me as it was the only way I could get out of my prison back in heaven.I was locked up for warning and asking you to run and hide.I have been locked up ever since and that was the reason why I could never come to tell the story.Right now I need to earn your trust so you could make me a member of this group.Now I know which side to be on and I hope you will accept me.Of course I know we have to move step by step and I am totally okey with that," she said as she walked to the couch and sat down.Silence followed for the rest of the evening until she decided to fly away while we made a decision.
