CHRONICLES OF THE FOURTH HORSEMAN

b****y REUNION.(lady luck)

Flying was one one of the few things I really loved.Every time I would come to earth like a newborn, I always argued with myself about the wings, a lot.I loved having them around.They were the one thing that never failed me.The one thing that was wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.Flapping them around gave me joy, but not today.Today they were flying me through a sad world.A world where people were dying questionable deaths, a world where do ones I could not help.As I flew, watching people try soo desperately trying to save their lives and those of their loved ones, I remembered when I first this dreadful magic.Back then it was just but a tiny thought in my brothers mind.

I know we all have heard of read the story of Lucifer, but not everything.Before he became the devil, he was the angel of light the brightest in all the heavenly angels.A trick master who always had a plan cooking up his sleeves, until one day he had a nasty nasty idea.The two fragile creatures In the garden looked more gallible than the angels who by then knew he was always up to something.He planned to pray a trick on them.A trick he thought was innocent and harmless.

The outcomes were nasty and in the process a tiny flare of something evil was born.Things happened soo first afterwards and before I knew it, I was being given a flaming sword to guard the garden.That was my first time being out of heaven for long.Years later, I was called and I was asked to go down and check on Abel.I did as told but when I got their Abel was lying down with blood all around his body.He was having a difficult time breathing and I thought touching him would help, so I touched him.To my surprise, his soul left his body.I didn't know what to do and I carried it with me back to heaven.I was given another task.That was how I stop being Azrael the guardian to Azrael the gatherer of souls.The tiny flare had grown a little and was starting to influence the humans.With the death of Abel, the tiny force became even more powerful and it became like an outbreak.Affecting even the angels.Within no time a war broke in heaven and some angels were thrown out.Two powerful forces,with so much influence and power.

God had a plan in place, he created three good forces to help balance the evil one, he gave onto the world, luck, destiny, fate and love.God would no longer give a woman to a man of His choice.He gave them free will and gave them the power to choose what path they wanted to follow.When I came up with the idea of locking the evil force away, God never objected.Hell was created and all the evil force and the angels it had affected were sent down there.The force was soo great that in only few hours of being locked out it was burning into hot super smelly flames.

Even with all that, my task was never changed.I remaine the angel of death.I was given helpers and i was sent down to stay in the shadows.To rest and wait for the weary bodies to give up, and bring the souls home.With time humans gave me names.I still feel like " The Reaper" is a good one, but they mostly just call me the Angel of death among other filthy ones.I frowned a little to the thought of the names I had gone by over the years. Some of them were not very nice and I hated them.I could have dwelt on that but I knew there were much more serious problems.There must have been a rift between earth and hell where the evil force was coming for.

The only way to seal it was by bringing back the balance and that meant getting the other forces together.They were the only one on earth who could have helped.The alternative was to have Michael dispatched to help, but he was busy at the moment.Also I was not looking forward to being helped by him any time soon.I was on this alone.The rest of the group was in too but they were not in a position to help much

while still at the thought, i saw the lady with a scroll from earlier.She was seated on a rock out in the rain.She looked like a person who had lost all hope.She was tired.

I flew close enough to her and walked the few steps to where she was seated.My wings still had black spots from the smoke and I still leaked of smoke.The downpouring showers has washes some of it away but the smell was still there.I had not changed the cloths either and I was a little embarrassed."You know you stink, right?," she started still looking at the scroll which was getting bigger by the moment.I could clearly read it and I didn't like what it said."Hey you know if you give up now the world will crumble down long before the last battle, can you imagine of hell on earth, and I mean that in literal.I have a plan but I need the four of you.Also yes, I do know I am filthy," I said.

She had not seen me coming and she had no idea who I was before I said those words.Slowly she lifted her head and stared at me for a while." Oh soo its true, you decided to go out of the script and help the humans.Shouldn't you be busy feasting?," I had no answer to that and even if I could come up with one, I am not sure I could bring it across.In our world the rumors flew even faster than in the human world.Gabriel's ears are usually everywhere, you know being a messenger and all that.I figured by now everybody knew about me and my weird little plan.

"Please I need you to help me look for the others.You could use some refreshment too and I know I sure need some luck right now," at first she thought I was making fun of her but then she looked into my eyes and she found nothing else but a scary and serious look.She was too weak to even walk and I had to be the one to carry her.The merging felt weird at first.I could feel her in my being getting all cozy.In there she would get a little bit of strength and together we could bring back a little bit of luck.

I flew across the world,making a stop at every part of it that had been hit by the wave of the force.As I passed through there touching people and things order would slowly follow and the unlucky chain would deasapear as fast as it had appeared.The lady luck was getting much more stronger and the more she became soo the more she weighed on me.My wings were starting to feel the weight and for the first time I feared they would grow too weak to carry me and her.

It took me hours to help regain the balance.Luck had been fixed but it was only temporary.The next wave would hit much faster and much stronger.In the moment I was just happy luck was on board and the world was peaceful even though for just a bit.At the last stop I stayed a little and enjoyed a beer.Being in the tiny club meant luck was all there and it took me a while to realize that everybody was winning without even trying.The owner of the club who was the previously known winner was loosing soo bad and at a certain point he had to throw everybody out and close down.I flew back home feeling good and even though flying was not smooth at least we the wings never failed.Not even for a split second.

"Wow what the hell did you eat on the way?," John asked.At that point I looked at myself and boy,was I huge.I looked like Santa.I was about to start explaining when I felt lady luck coming out.It was weird and even a little bit painful this time.Immediately after I fell on the floor as I was in way too much pain to even stand still.I regained my posture and stood up slowly, I made a little bow and talked."lady and gentlemen, I present to you...dan...da..raraaaaa...the lady luck, in the fresh,".They all looked at me then at her.Questions of whatever just happened written all over their dumbfounded faces.I had a lot of explaining to do, and I planned to do exactly that as soon as I freshened up.

I left them there and walked right to my room.I walked into the bathroom which I rarely needed since I never sweat or eat and I had no need for the facility.Today however I needed to do something about the smoke.I was also still in some pain and there is no painkillers for angels.I needed to be away for a while to think as I awaited for the pain to go away.I still didn't understand why the four forces weren't together at such a moment.There was something about how lady luck behave when I asked her about the rest.Something that was surrounded by dislike but I couldn't quite wrap my finger around it.

I was however glad that the day was over and at least I could count a success amidst all the failure.I freshened up and lay down on my bed, gazing at the ceiling with questions and memories.I was beginning to doubt my choices.Was I on the wrong side? was I risking falling? Even worse was I still favored back in heaven? I felt deep down I was doing a good job.I knew I was helping but I also had a feeling I was walking further and further away from the will of heaven with every course of action, with every step and with every decision.

I had overstayed on earth and I was becoming more human and less angel by the day.My life had changed.I saw them struggle, saw them win, saw them loose.I felt their pains.I felt their love and in all that I came to understand them and even love them.Some of them had even accepted me despite knowing who I was and what I would one day do to them.I still remember what John said when he had finally decided to keep me as friend. "Hey, when the time comes, let it be you who will give me the ride up,".Ever since then he never looked at me as the big bad.Instead he started to learn more about me, to really understand me, and now, now I certainly know he can do anything to help me.

" And that is your greatest weakness brother," the voice came to me and I felt like I was imagining it.It was Michael.Listening into my thoughts and having a conversation with me."You have come to care for them way too much.You are ruining everything in the process and I don't even think you see it.You are being blinded by them.Why don't you just let them go home, all of them at ones.You won't have to be called those names anymore and they will no longer suffer," I heard what he was saying but I didn't understand.Some of them would be in hell.Forever.I wanted them to have some little more time.Maybe they would change in the end.But yet again, what did I know?

I didn't want to argue with Michael I didn't want his wrath raining on me.He was right but I was not ready to let go of my stand.I walked out of bed and went to the hall.People were happily eating and I took my time to watch them without them seeing me.Where was I to even get the strength of letting them go just when i found them.Seeing them happy even after knowing what was happening to the world was what I called strength.Together we would stop the evil force and the final battle and between now and then, we would also fight the battles in between.I had found luck l, that was a win enough the next day would be spent looking for the rest and with luck on our side, well...

"Hey will you just stand there and look at them weirdly?," it was the bunker.Totally forgot it was awake.I joined them and the rest of the evening before bedtime was spent explaining.One big happy family ready to do everything to save the world.Outside a storm ranged badly and the thunder could be heard even in the bunker.

"lady luck, take the wheel,I sure could use a tiny break,"
