Reizo opened his eyes sharply. He was lying on his side in a bed in a dark room with his daggers lying next to him. There was another bed next to him, but he didnt pay much attention to it. The windows in the room were wide open and the curtains pulled back so that sunlight was streaming in. He tried to remember what happened but all he could remember was this bright flash, then pain...and then he was here. He sat up slowly then screamed in pain and fell back down. On his wings, which were burnt and already in a lot of pain. He winced and rolled back on his side. Suddenly three people came running in. He couldn't really see because he had one of his eyes closed. One of them came up beside the bed, poked him, and said "Reizo you alright?" He recognized the voice as Kitty's and said irritatedly "Do I look okay? I feel like someone threw me in an oven! Not to mention I've got a headache." Someone he didnt know walked up and said "These girls said you were shot by a flame from a demon. Anyone care to explain what REALLY happened? and also why you three all have wings?" Reizo rolled over and opened his other eye "Wha? I'm the only freak here with-" Then he noticed that Kitty had two large angels wings coming out of her back and he sat up quickly in surprise. Then he suddenly fell back down again "AAAHHHHH" The woman leaned over the bed and said "You've suffered great burns....especially on your uhh...wings. Your clothes were burned so we had to change them of course." Reizo's face now looked somewhat like this: O_O and he said "my clothes?" She nodded and said "Yes, your clothes." It was at THIS point Reizo realised he was wearing completely different clothes. He turned red and said "Err....thanks...how did I get here?" Serene stepped forward from where she'd been standing before. Reizo noted dully that she had two black wings coming out of her back. The woman gestured to Serene and said "She carried you here. It was very far if Im correct. You should thank her. She has a strong will and a strong heart. I belie-" Reizo ruined this whole speech by yawning and saying "I want food. Ya got any?" Everyone did that....anime...falling down thing....(we really need a name for that XD) Then the woman got up and said "Yes...lots of food, in fact. By the way, my name is Aria..." Then she put something to Reizo's lips and said "Drink...it'll dull the pain" Reizo drank some then cringed "Why must everything thats good for you taste so bad?" Then he finished it and suddenly Serene said "So...tired...." Then she spun a little before falling forward. Kitty ran forward and caught her before she hit the ground. Reizo got off the bed and moved back while Kitty put her on the bed. Kitty looked at her and said "Wow....I guess carryin' YOU really tired her out....especially up that big hill...then up the mountain to this cottage..." Reizo stared at Serene and said "She carried me up a
mountain?" Then Aria laughed and said "How else do you think you got here?" Serene rolled over and mumbled "I'll be right up....." Then started snoring. Reizo looked at her then back at Aria and Aria said "Oh dont worry, she'll be fine. Now how about breakfast?" Reizo grinned and said "Yay!"
*****************************************************************
"So we ALL have wings?" Reizo asked. It had been about an hour and Serene, Reizo, Kitty, and Aria were all sitting in the kitchen and had just finished breakfast. Everyone's wings were also out of their usual hiding places. Aria laughed and said "Well it seems everyone but me." Serene laughed and said "Well I guess now we know why they call us Angels" (Just for a recap, Serene has black bat wings, Kitty has white angels wings, and Reizo has one of each.) Reizo sighed and said "So what do we do now?" Everyone looked up at him "What do you mean?", Aria said. Then he continued "Well...I mean...where do we go? We're supposed to stop Seth I guess...but where do we go?" Serene and Kitty both sighed loudly. Aria looked up suddenly "Wait...you dont mean....HIM, do you?" Reizo looked at the terror-stricken look on her face and decided that they were talking about the same person "Um....yeah...I think so...why is everyone so afraid to call him by his name?" Aria looked down "So....I take it you met him.....that would explain the burns...but I wonder why he let you live....huh?" She had been talking to herself and had just noticed Reizo's question. "Why...well,....it's just a superstition, but it is said that if you say his name, he'll come for you....I'm not very superstitious, but I dont want to take any chances." Reizo stretched his arms up and opened his wings as wide as they could go...which was the whole length of the kitchen, then said "Wow...its been so long since I could stretch my wings..." Then he looked at Aria and said "Aren't you slightly disturbed to see three teenagers with wings?" She laughed and said "No, no I'm not. If these three teenagers with wings met HIM and lived, then they're welcome on MY doorstep anytime." Serene grinned and said "Well for a dark tyrant, he really wasn't all that tough. Kitty nailed him with an arrow and he ran away." Aria looked at Kitty "
You wounded HIM? Wow...what kind of kids are you?...did he bleed?" Reizo nodded and laughed "Yeah he did! He bled...just like a perfectly normal human being...We fought him...he only beat us because I didn't know he could use fire..." Aria looked grave "HE can use all elements...though his favorite is light..." Reizo yawned and said "Well...I guess we'll be on our way...bye!" Everyone but Aria got up from the table and she said "Wait...theres one thing I think you should know...I heard that HE has a castle in the north. If you want to find him, you should go there...and take this." Then she tossed a glass ball to Reizo and smiled "You can use that to contact me, should you ever need my...assistance" Kitty looked at it for a moment "Wait, isnt that a witch's-" Then they were all abruptly pushed out the door by Aria (XD) and she said "Remeber! call me if you ever need my help!" Reizo looked at the crystal ball and handed it to Kitty "You carry it." She looked at it and said "Okay...HEY WHY ME??" Serene laughed and said "Because...umm...you're the bearer of the ball now...hehe" Kitty looked at the ball and said "Wow...coooool...." (Wow...They're manipulating that poor girl XD) Reizo nodded solemnly and said "Yes, and a serious burden. We hope you will carry it well." Then he and Serene walked forward and tried their best not to snicker and Kitty reverently placed it in her pocket. Kitty ran up to the other side of Reizo "So where do we go now?" Reizo rubbed his eyes and said "Well...I guess we head north until nightfall..." Then Kitty yawned "Well at least you two had some sleep...I feel like I haven't slept in ages..." Cmon we better hurry up... (SCENERY: Aria's house is in a clearing on a mountain. So right now they're at the edge of the huge clearing.) Reizo walked ahead of everyone and said "Wow...its so late in the da-..." At that moment he saw a figure in a red cloak step out of the trees. He stopped, his mouth wide open, then Serene and Kitty walked up and stopped on either side of him Kitty stared at his open mouth and said "Umm...Reizo? whats wrong?" Reizo closed his mouth and slowly said "Ledah...." Then the figure walked forward, opened his black feathered wings, and said "Reizo..."
