Angel Protector Chapter 17: The Book of Darkness

"Melissa! What are you thinking attacking Divinia with the book of darkness?"
"That's none of your business Michael, you're going to die today."

Michael flew at Melissa at a fast speed, preparing to slice her with his sword. However, just as his sword was about to land, Melissa disappeared into the ground. Michael looked around him carefully, waiting for Melissa's next move. Melissa suddenly appears behind Michael, her nails almost piercing Michael, but he managed to use his sword to block them at the last moment. Melissa started to hack at Michael relentlessly, not allowing him to even have a chance to attack. Christine who was looking at the battle from the gate towers was about to fly to help Michael but was held back by her sister.

"You must not help him."
"But can't you see that he won't be able to win Melissa, sister?"
"Michael won't be defeated that easily, have faith."

As they both looked on, Michael had now taken the battle to the air. He was on the offensive now, attacking Melissa from every angle, but none of his attacks managed to scratch Melissa. She was smiling as Michael was fighting her, which made Michael wonder why.

"Why are you smiling Melissa?"
"Remember those days we used to train together Michael?"
"What about them?"
"Doesn't this feel nostalgic?"
"I forgot about those the day you betrayed Divinia."
"It was not I who betrayed Divinia but you who was so foolish to stay on in Divinia."
"Lucifer will destroy you!"
"You are not to say his name!"

Melissa opened the book of darkness and said another spell. Dark clouds formed above Divinia and black lightning streaked through the skies. Multiple forks of lightning striked against the shield of Divinia, attempting to break through it. A voice appeared in Melissa's head, the voice of Lucifer.

"What are you doing? I only told you to lose the book, not destroy Divinia."
"But my lord..."
"You're going to lose the book as I told you."
"Yes...my lord..."

The dark clouds vanished and Michael took this opportunity to stab Melissa. She did not block his sword as it pierced through her. The book of darkness fell to the floor together with Melissa. She took one last look at Michael before disappearing into the ground. The whole of Divinia cheered as Michael took the book with him and went back into Divinia. He passed the book to Christy, but she dropped it. The book fell with its pages open and an angel bent over to pick it up.

"No don't!" shouted Christy.

It was too late, that angel got sucked into the book and the book closed up by itself after glowing eerily for awhile. There was silence everywhere as Christy picked it up now.

"Why didn't you get sucked in like him?"
"No pure hands must touch the book of darkness when it's open, just like no unclean hands must touch the book of light when it's open."
"What will happen to that angel?"
"He's been turned into just another source of energy for the book of darkness."
"Could this be their plan? Losing the book of darkness on purpose."
"It seems that way, but we don't know what their plan is."
"What should we do now?"
"I'll seal the book of darkness and put it in the sacred chamber, beside the book of light."
"You'll see to the preparations then."
"Yes you should go take a rest now."

Christy walked to the deepest part of the castle and stood in front of a wall. She touched the wall and a flight of stairs leading down appeared. She walked down the long flight of stairs and came to a room. She opened the door and there in center of the room stood a transparent glass cylinder, inside it was the book of light, floating in mid air. The book shone brightly as Christy walked in.

"I'll need another cylinder, what was that spell again? Oh right..."

She summoned her harp and started playing a tune, she started to sing and a cylinder formed from the air.

"There we go...that looks good enough."

She opened up the cylinder and put the book of darkness inside. After putting it in, both of the books started to shake violently. Christy didn't look worried at all and sat down again, playing her harp and singing. The book of darkness started glowing and shook even more. After some time, both books were now standing at their positions silently. Christy gave a sigh of relief and walked out of the room.

A loud thud echoed through the pits of hell as Lucifer slapped Melissa across the face as Krysta looked from the corner.
"My lord, have mercy..."
"You almost foiled my plan with your foolishness!"
"Father, don't beat mother anymore, she managed to carry out your plan in the end."
"On account of Krysta I won't kill you today."

He sat back on is throne and drank blood from his cup, with Melissa in front of him trying to get up. Krysta helped her get up and walked to her room as Lucifer was lost in his own thoughts.

"Very soon my plan will be carried out and I'll spread darkness everywhere! Wahahahaha"
