{ The End Is Near }

↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭↭

I looked at my back and I saw my wings

Protruding from it.

” I can explain ” I said with fear as the reality

dawn on me.

” you really have a lot to explain ” she replied

me looking at me with a terror filled eye ,

just then we heard a knock on the door.

My heart skipped a beat hearing the knock.

” please hide yourself inside the bathroom ”

I whispered pleading to Tabitha but she

stood where she was not moving.

” I promise to explain everything to you,

please just do me this single favour of

hiding yourself ” I whispered with rubbing

my two palms together.

” I’m not doing this for you ” she whispered

heading to the bathroom

” I’m coming ” I shouted as the person

knocked the door again.

I used more effort than I normally use to

shut the wings in before I opened the door

and met Mona Lisa standing in the entrance.

” oga talk say make I ask you if you help him

see small madam Tabitha ” she said staring

at me in a weird way which gat me to look

at my back, scared that my wings must have

being out again, I heaved a sigh of relief

when I saw that it wasn’t out.

” you said what ” I asked her as the fear that

flashed through my spine before kicked

what she said out of my memory but she

didn’t answer, but kept on staring at me.

I knew the reason she was staring, that was

not the first time such will be happening.

I tapped her to return bring her back to

world.

” oga talk say make I ask you if you help him

see small madam Tabitha ” she said again

stuttering in the process.

” no, I haven’t seen her ” I lied to her and

close the door and locked it from behind.

Tabitha came out of the bathroom at once

and sat on the bed.

I moved closer to her and knelt down.

” do you remember this ” I said bringing out

my wings and she opened her mouth wide

in awe.

” you, you ,you ” she stuttered without being

able to Make a sentence

” yes , I’m the one ” I interrupted her when

it seems she couldn’t make a complete

sentence.

I explained everything to her from the

genesis, how she managed to see me then,

how we always played before she was born,

how she even love me then not sparing any

detail out.

I told her how I lost my position when I save

Nina .

I couldn’t tell what was going through her

mind as I narrate everything to her because

her expression and mood didn’t change.

After I finished with my narration, she didn’t

utter any word, just sat where she was

looking at me with a look I couldn’t

decipher its content and this made me a

little bit scared.

” thanks for saving Nina and sorry for your

circumstances because you choose to save

my sister ” she finally utter making me feel a

bit at peace.

” tho I’m a little angry because I lost my

mom and lost 9 years of my life to oblivion

because of the incident that occurred then ”

she paused using her hand to clean the

tears that has already escaped from her eye

lid to her beautiful face.

” but it wasn’t your fault and from what you

said, you’ve done more for me and it will be

shameful of me to hold those two

misfortunes that occurred to me on you , I

still love you and believe me, your secret is

safe with me” she said bringing her face

closer to mine and kissed me deeply.

The kiss this time was short unlike the other

ones..

” I’ve to go, dad must have turned every

where upsidedown looking for ” she said

after disengaging the kiss.

And started heading to the door.

” promise me one thing ” she said stopping

abruptly when she was about to get to the

door.

” what’s that ” I asked her looking into her

beautiful eye.

” promise me that you will never leave alone

” she said startling me and I was lost of

words.

What she asked me to promise her was

impossible because I was just another pawn

on the game board of the supreme one and

he only knows his next move.

” I don’t know ” I answered her looking

perplexed.

” okay, we will talk later ” she said looking

disappointed and headed out.

I sat down on my bed thinking about what

she asked me to promise her, then suddenly

a dark smoke started emitting from the floor

of my room ,almost the same as the one that

appeared in Tabitha room .

I quickly grabbed my sword from where I

placed it and stretch it at the flame ready for

anything coming out of it.

I watched as the flame started transforming

and later moulded out a man , he was in

black and backing me, but I could easily tell

that it was the person that saved the leader

last time and looking at his back, I could tell

that I knew him from somewhere.

” brother Luci “! I exclaimed as the person

turned to face me.

” long time my boy ” he said smiling

devilishly.

” how could this happen, are you the ruler

that that evil man spoke of yesterday ” I

asked looking perplexed

” yes my boy ,I’m the ruler, the strongest, the

powerful and the greatest man on earth ”

he screamed in an awfully terrified voice

and lightning started striking unceasingly.

I wondered in my mind if people heard him.

Truth be told ,I’ve been looking forward to

the day I will meet brother Luci, rebellious or

no rebellious, I like him, he’s the one who

brought himself down to my level and

became my friend in heaven when other

angels refused to, thought me how to sing

and play all kind of musical instruments.

I liked him so much that some days after his

rebellion, I’d to fought the thought of

joining him on earth and here he is

standing right in front of me.

I felt like hugging him but restrained myself

against it.

” why are you here ” I asked with a stern

voice trying to hide what I really felt like

asking behind it.

He’s now the antagonist whom I have to

protect Tabitha from.

” just here to see my boy it’s been long since

I saw you, I missed you ” he said looking like

he meant it.

But what have learned in heaven and some

things I’ve came to know about brother Luci

is never to let your guard down when

you’re with him,because brother is very

manipulative ,cunning and very wise.

” thanks, but if you’ll please excuse me I

have someone to protect ” I said pretending

as if I was going out.

I knew staying with him for a long time can

be very harmful, he can easily get into my

head if that is his mission.

” is this how you’re going to treat me, after

many millenniums of years that we’ve seen

ourselves ” he said looking pitiful

” I’m sorry , but you know am here on an

assignment and I can’t anchor a get

together party right now ” I said trying to

hide all what I was really feeling like saying.

” do you think the supreme is going to let

you off or have mercy on you after all you’ve

done on earth, even if you jump in a lava

just to show that you’re still doing what he

sent you to, you’re merely wasting your

time” he said moving closer to me as the

reality of what he said dawn on me.

I stood transfixed at the spot I was and I felt

all my morale racing out of my body.

” I’ve missed you Benmanna and I would

love to have you with me, no matter what

you do, join my course and you’ll be free to

do anything you wish, love anyone you wish

to love without being scared of anyone ” he

said placing his hand on my shoulder.

It was an enticing offer but he has to do

more than that if he want to tempt me.

” would I be able to live and love Tabitha

happily ” I asked him removing his hand

from my shoulder, I was fully aware that

Tabitha had to be sacrificed in order for his

course to fully kick start and I was sure that

brother wouldn’t come here to ask me to

sacrifice her in order to join his course.

There must surely be an hidden agenda

behind his visit,.

Brother Luci is wiser than that,

I thought within myself.

” no, no ” I suddenly scream

” what have you done ” I screamed loudly in

a thunder like voice and quickly grabbed my

sword.

” you’ve really grown, not that kid I always

hangout with because of pity ” he said

laughing wildly and brought out the

immortal sword, it was not longer like it was

before again, that was when I was able to

solve another puzzle about the attack of the

other day.

Some part of the sword was melted into the

sword the evil armies used that day, that

was why it was able to make me bleed but

lack potency as the real sword.

” yes, I’m here to distract you while your

precious perfect one is being kidnapped ”

he said pacing around the room slowly in a

proud manner.

” no ,that can’t be possible,it’s daytime and it

should be easy for me to sense any evil

being around” I said looking worried.

” hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha, yes you

should just that I had help from someone

who isn’t evil in look but evil in thought” he

said confusing me.

I ran outside and everywhere was silent. I

ran downstairs and I saw Mona Lisa, but

she’s stiff, she wasn’t breathing and not

moving, she looked like she was glued to

the spot she was, I ransacked the whole

house and it was the same for everybody,

only that Tabitha was not among the

everybody.

I quickly connected to her and was

successful with the connection, I brought

out my wing and was about to fly when I

saw a dagger flying towards me, I quickly

dodged it.

” going somewhere ” brother luci said

laughing wildly, attacked me at once with

the immortal sword.

It was a brutal fight between the two of us,

we were of the same strength, if I was still

an angel, I would have defeated him easily

and the sword in his hand was giving him

an upper hand over me.

I was doing a great job blocking the sword

from getting into my body.

It got to a point that he finally knocked me

down

As he wanted to stab me I screamed out.

” killing me and killing Tabitha is only a

waste, even if you extract the water of life

from Tabitha’s body, you won’t be able to

lay your hand on the hakintolite water ,you

know it only spring in the chamber of the

supreme one and you can get there ” I

shouted at him.

” not if I have help from someone closer to

the chamber ” he said laughing wildly again.

” help ” I muttered surprise

” yes, I gat help, all these should have ended

long time ago if not that of you who

interrupted the plan ” he said looking at me

with disgust.

” brother Lucien ” I muttered slowly and

lowly.

” you’ve really gotten wiser, I accolade you

for that, but it’s too late for you now ” he

said proudly.

” but brother Lucien can’t do that, no he

won’t do that ” I muttered weakly.

” yes he can and will do that because he’s

been with me from the beginning of time,

he was my lifeline, that was why I left him in

heaven during my rebellion in case things

went south, we didn’t do anything the last

time he came as a guardian angelbecauae I

want him to earn the trust of the supreme

one and earning it means that he will be

sent down again when we will kick start our

plan at once because he has already gotten

the hakintolite water but you intercepted

him and came in his stead, but now, he’s

breached the heaven’s portal ,remember

when a disruption occured in heaven, now

he’s here with the hakintolite water” he said

proudly looking at me with the eye of the

victorious one.

Suddenly, someone with wing flew over to

where we were standing, I wasn’t a little bit

bittered to confirmed all what brother Luci

said when I saw the person to be brother

Lucien.

” long time Ben ” he smirked at me and I

stared at him with a bitter eye.

” go Lucifer, the girl is already in the coven ,

leave Ben to me, we both have an

unfinished business to attend to ” he said

with a wicked grin on his face.

Brother Luci accepted his request and gave

him the immortal sword .

” watch out to how I will destroy the earth

which your father value most ” he said

before he disappeared into the ground in

flame.

” this will be more than an ordinary sparring

” brother Lucien said as he charged at me.
