...I have returned...

Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

as the flaming haired woman went to throw her punch time seemed to slow and the air became cold, enough that one could clearly see their one breath, out from below the middle of the two a dark figure phased into being as fog emanated from the bottom on his cloak, he looked to the flame haired woman and caught her fist in his armored hands, the flames were hot, but his armor protected him from the heat

"...so easily upset... you must control your anger..."

the dark figure said in a beep foreboding voice to the girl as he let her fist go before he slowly looked to the one who provoked her to strike

"...you must control your hate towards her... it would be a shame to take you before your time..."

the dark figure said to him as he stood between the two his hands to his sides

as the orb flew towards Rachel, the sound of a blade cutting through water could be heard for a split second, then the slash of water hitting the ground, there standing in front of Rachel stood the dark being from before, with both his sickles drawn, he had come from the ground in front of Rachel when he came to her aid, he then looked to her

"...I'll get you to safety..."

he said simply as he quickly grabbed Rachel's arm and put if over his shoulder before he took flight at headed towards the front entrance of the castle

...Death never sleeps...

the dark figure slowly stopped as he turned his head to look at Rachel, her suggestion was a good one, it made the being think

"...like a moth to the flame..."

the being said to himself, it was a good plan, all he would have to do was wait, and the angel would eventually show himself, and he'd get the soul he came for, he turned to face the two

"...I will stay, if only to reap the soul of the angel who attacked you... as for your "problem"... I have yet to decide if it is of any concern to me..."

he said to them as he turned to leave the room, but instead of using the door, he simply phased through the wall and disappeared, when he left the electric lights came back on to light the dark room, and small flames burned from the torches until they returned to full burn, further lighting the room as the fog dispersed

the hooded being slowly came to a stop about two meters from Rachel, when she asked her inquiry's the being remained silent for a few seconds before answering

"...yes..."

the being responded in a dark and intimidating voice

"...I was present during the time you were attacked... and I am nether friend... nor foe.. I was their for I was seeking the soul of the one who lead those angels... he has cheated me in the past... and I was simply there, to reclaim his soul for it is long overdue..."

The being said as he slowly looked over to Spartan before looking back to Rachel

"...because of my inability to reap the angel leaders soul... you have been cursed by his magic... therefore i am responsible for your pain..."

the being said to Rachel as it turned away from her

"...I've only come to tell you that i am sorry, there is nothing else I can do to help, but if it eases your pain, I will hunt down and kill the leader of those angels, ..."

it said as it slightly looked back to Rachel

"...best of luck with your mission..."

it said as he began to make its way to the door

Operation Hell's Fury (War of the Scales saga #4)

from around the corner of the door, slowly emerged a tall, dark hooded being, it had what looked like wings made of faintly glowing gray smoke and under it's hood, nothing could be seen but darness, the being then slowly and eerily looked to Rachel, when it seen her it ever so slightly tilted it's head to the right, it then turned toward her and slowly gliding over the floor towards her, fog trailing from beneath him

the air inside the library gradually cooled down, to the point one could clearly see the fog from their breath, a thin layer of fog that clung to the floor slowly flowed into the library from the door as the sound of what could only be described as steel claws scrapping against stone walls could be heard as it got closer,louder with each passing second the burning candles that kept the hallway to the library lit slowly began getting blown out, own by one, the small electric lights that lit up the areas torches and candles couldn't be placed began to faintly flicker as something got closer, as it did the electric lights dimmed until they shut off, one electric lamp was right beside the door to the library, and it slowly began to flicker as the candles lighting the rest of the library were blown out
