Angel Protector Chapter 5: Gentleness

As Sera collapsed in front of the door, the door opened slowly and a figure was seen at the other side walking towards Sera. The figure soon reached the door and it bent down to pick up the now lifeless body of Sera into his arms. It was Michael.

"You've done well Sera, rest for now."

Michael carried Sera into one of the rooms in the castle and laid him down to sleep. The room was beautiful and very well furnished. Drapes were hanging from bed and fluttered gently as Michael walked out of the room and found a guard on duty.
"Guard this room while I go fetch a healer."

"As you command" said the guard as he bowed down.

Michael walked to the healers' quarters and looked around the empty room.

"Why isn't anyone here?"
"My my we have special guest don't we?"

Michael turned around to see Christine, the chief healer walking gracefully into the room with the other healers behind her.

"Why weren't there anyone here on duty?"
"Oh don't make such a big fuss over it Michael; I was just bringing the rest to see me do my rounds."
"Make sure it doesn't happen again alright?"
"You're always so serious, you should relax a little sometimes." Sighs Christine
"..."
"What brings you here today anyway?" Asks Christine as she sits down on her chair.
"Wait; don't tell me, its Sera isn't it?"
"How did you.."
"It's all over your face, has something happened to him?"
"Why don't you come and see for yourself?"

As both of them walked through the halls to the room Sera was in, Michael hastened his pace a little. The guard was still there when they reached. Michael flicked his hand and the guard bowed again and left. Both of them entered the room and as Christine examined Sera her face turned and looked at Michael.

"These are very serious injuries, what happened?"
"He was taking the test to be a guardian."
"The guardian test? It's not a thing someone would usually die doing."
"You know the guardian test is to fight the demons of your past battles right?"
"Yes but what demon could he have faced in the past that could do this?"
"Remember the tree spirit I saved him from?"
"So it was her..I know what to do now,I'll inform you when he's better."
"Take care of him."

Michael walked out of the room with Christine still checking the injuries of Sera. She turned back and saw Michael closing the door. She looked back at Sera and stroked his face.

"He may always be so serious but he actually cares for you. You are his brother after all."
"Sainte de Espirit"

Both of Christine's hands were now glowing with light as she held them over the wounds. The wounds slowly healed as Christine concentrated very hard in healing Sera. She stopped after a while and kissed Sera on his forehead.

"You should be feeling better by tomorrow, till then continue sleeping."

She left the room and saw Michael outside who jumped a little upon seeing her.

"You're done?"
"Yes he should rest for now; I'll continue treating his injuries tomorrow."
"I see...'
"I'll go back to my room first; you should let him rest too."
Christine turned her back and walked down the halls.
"Thank you Christine.."
Even though she was far down the halls she turned around and smiled before walking off again with her hair waving freely.

Michael walked into the room and sat beside Sera. His eyes softened as he gazed upon him.
"I haven't been a good brother to you after I was put in charge of running Divinia, I'm sorry."

Michael continued sitting there for a while and when he decided to leave Sera suddenly grabbed his hand.
"Don't go..brother.."
Michael turned around and saw Sera grabbing his arm. He was actually still asleep. Michael took his arm slowly away and put it back on the bed. He took a step forward but than took a final look at Sera and decided to stay. He sat by the bed and slept.

After quite some time, both of them were sound asleep and Sera was starting to wake up. His eyes slowly opened and he noticed that he in an unfamiliar room. He then saw Michael at his side and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Michael?"
Michael woke up and saw that Sera was sitting up on the bed smiling at him.
"What are you doing here brother?"
"I told you to call me by my name in the castle right?" said Michael as he smiled to Sera.
"Why are you here anyway? Don't you have work to do?"
"You are here because of me, it is my duty to make sure you're ok before I leave."

Christine opens the door at this moment and sees both of them laughing and chatting happily. She grins to herself and closes back the door.
