A Bittersweet End

Michael's wings continued to glow, the fire in his eyes growing by the second."You are through with hurting the ones I love, Ashton. I will destroy you." His voice shook the ground, startling the black angel.Ashton gripped his sword and snarled, his eyes burning red. "Elasa  gemeganza  page!" He raged, swinging his blade towards Michael.The gash in Michael's shoulder was still bleeding and charring the skin around it. You could see the trouble he was having, but he held his ground.Ashton's sword slashed past Michael's face, giving Michael a chance to strike. He slammed his fire lit hands into Ashton's chest, sending him a few feet backwards.Ashton cackled into the eerie air and chanted something in Enochian. Suddenly, thunder boomed and the sky lit up with lightning."Fight me you coward!" Michael shouted, baring his teeth as the rain started to fall. Another sound came from the sky, but you couldn't figure out what it was. It was getting closer and causing a shiver to run up your spine.Ashton had summoned ravens and crows, the blackest of creatures alongside him.The birds surrounded Michael and tore at his skin with their bloodthirsty beaks. He cried out in pain and fought off as many as he could. "Michael duck!" Kyanna's arrows shot off one by one, taking down a bird with them. While Michael was distracted, Ashton moved closer and pulled out something silver in his pocket.You grabbed one of your sai daggers and aimed it at his heart. You took a deep breath and let it fly.The dagger was deflected and had made it's way towards Michael."Michael! No!" You screamed, running.Michael moved in time to see the dagger stab a raven through the eye. He breathed and fell to his knees, the birds tearing him apart.

Luna

That blue haired prick. I spat out blood onto the already dead grass. "If he wants to play that way, fine. We'll play dirty."

I made my way back to the front lines in time to see Michael being pecked to death by evil birds. "Luna where have you been!?" Ashton snapped, pulling me to him."Your little pet cannonballed me into a tree." I snarled, ripping my hand away from his. "Why isn't he dead yet?""He will be. Patience."

Y/N

Luna had found her way back to Ashton's side. Ashton wouldn't be defeated unless she was gone."Alessa. We need to get rid of Luna." You whispered and her eyes flashed yellow."Kyanna! Aim for Luna!" Alessa barked, getting out her claymore. Kyanna readied her bow and arrow and waited for her cue. You looked towards Michael and felt a sharp pain in your heart. He was bleeding and loosing strength. He wouldn't hold on much longer."Fire!" Alessa yelled, charging at Luna.Kyanna's arrow flung past your cheek and barreled towards Luna's chest.You were ready to get to Michael once Luna and Ashton were distracted. Suddenly, the arrow froze in midair and Alessa was thrown to the ground."You really think you'll get anything past me?" Ashton smirked, picking up Alessa by her throat.She gasped for air and fought, scratching at him. "Luna do you think I should crush her windpipe or rip her skull from her backbone?" He asked, his eyes searching Alessa's.Luna's breathy laugh was followed by her trailing her fingernails down Alessa's chest."I think it would be more painful if we tortured her a bit before you take extreme measures." She purred in Ashton's ear.Alessa struggled and kicked, losing her breath.A gasp erupted from Luna's lips and a bright red blade protruded from her chest.Calum twisted his sword and grunted."Fucking bitch. You need to shut up."

"No!" Ashton dropped Alessa and gripped Calum's shoulders, snapping them back. You heard a loud crack, followed by Calum's cry of pain. He crumpled to the ground and squeezed his eyes shut.Luna's body slumped and fell forward onto Calum's blade, sliding it further into her chest.

Michael

There wasn't any part of me that wasn't in pain. My vision was blurring and playing tricks on me. I just want to hold Y/N before I die. My sweet  aziazor.  I'm sorry I could not protect you.

Then the birds disappeared. Out of thin air.

"Michael  c'mon.  Get  up.  She's  fighting  for  you.  You  can  win  this.  Don't  give  up  esiasch." 

I opened my eyes to see a shimmering version of Luke standing in front of me. My breath hitched and I shook slightly."Luke. How are you with me?" I asked, reaching for him.

"De  Vaoan  isn't  ready  for  you  yet  esiasch.  Have  faith  in  yourself.  This   is  only  the  beginning  for  you.  Make  me  proud.  Don't  make  me  come  back  and  slap  you."  He smiled, breaking my heart. I miss you Luke. I won't let you die in vain.

"Fethe  Ar  Ezodi  Luke. I'll see you in  De  Vaoan."  I whispered, watching his silhouette fade away.

"Gen  ge  dalagare  alalare  esiasch."  His voice echoed.  Do  not  give  up  brother. I won't Luke.

Y/N

Ashton's angered gaze focused on me and his hands turned into fists."This is all your fault. You disgusting human! I should've killed you the second I saw you in the hallway!" He fumed. His wings spread out and he got ready to fly.

"No you don't." Michael latched onto Ashton's wing and pushed him to the grass. "You do not threaten my love and expect to get away with it."

"Michael!" You shouted, relieved. He winked at you and pressed his blade to Ashton's chest. "Any last words?"

Ashton laughed and glanced at Luna's corpse."This is not the end. I will never die. But I will be back, and when I am, you won't survive a second. What an uneventful ending isn't it  esiasch?"  He taunted."I am not your brother." Michael growled. "You killed my brother. You are going to die much more painfully."

Ashton continued to chuckle as he stared down Michael's blade."I'm sure your followers will be very upset that they don't get to see you kill me tonight." Michael furrowed his brows."What do you mean?"

"Luke told you it wasn't your time yet. Didn't he? Well it's not my time either. It seems that Doalim has need for both of us still." Ashton smirked, grabbing Michael's sword by the blade.Blood dripped down Ashton's arm.

"Noaln  a  dosig  pelapeli  ol  niiso  adagita  a  oresa  de  future.  Pelapeli  en  congamphlgh  adagita  a  uls  de  a  caosga."  He chanted, his body shimmering like water.

Michael lifted his sword and slammed it down with a loud slash. But Ashton had vanished. All that was left was his black blood.

Michael cursed in Enochian and dropped his blade.

"Michael?" You spoke, placing your hand softly on his back. His body was torn and bruised, broken and battered.

His hand found yours and he pulled you close."Are you hurt  aziazor?"  He mumbled, looking into your eyes with his green ones.You shook your head and tears fell down your cheeks.

"I'm hurt! Very much so!" Calum grunted, holding his shattered shoulder. Alessa was catching her breath as Kyanna helped her up. Luna's body was starting to burn away slowly and Freya kicked the remains."She was a bitch." Freya mumbled.

"Y/N I'm so sorry. I understand if you want to leave Doalim. It's not a place for humans." Michael said coldly.

You gently stroked his cheek, watching his expression change."Michael I'm not going anywhere. I want to see you kick Ashton's ass. I'm already involved. I love you."

He  grinned and used his  malpirg  power to hold your hips."C'mon  aziazor.  We have work to do. Doalim will be peaceful in our lifetime. When Ashton returns, we'll be ready. Will you stay by my side?"

"Motherfu- Kyanna! You are not qualified to fix broken shoulders!" Calum shouted.

You smiled and kissed Michael's lips."I'm not going anywhere  aziazor."

Fear  not  dear  ones.  This  is  nowhere  near  the  end  for  Doalim.  Prophecy  states  that  death  is  inevitable  and  will  continue.  You  think  you're  safe?   My  darling,  you  could  not  be  more  wrong.  Sleep  with  one  eye  open  and  keep  your  windows  closed.  Something  far  worse  is  about  to  pursue.
