Lightning Crusader

Chapter 16

"I see you have questions, that you can't figure out correct" Shortorus said. "Whoa, don't scare me like that" Arcadian startled. "Sorry, but I've noticed that your puzzled so I came to ask" Shortorus said. "Well the council summoned me, they talked to me, then right when they were about to leave they said 'we will call you again when it's time'. What does that mean exactly" Arcadian asked. "Something is coming, and it's going to be the hardest encounter you ever been through" He answered. "What is it then" Arcadian said. "You will eventually have to be more powerful than ever, by controlling your brother, your father, your grandfather, and your great grandfather" Shortorus said before vanishing away. "What the hell does that mean" Arcadian asked. Cecil came before Arcadian and answered "When it's time you will know". "When it happens you must not let anything stand in your way. It's going to the hardest battle ever believe me. Whatever happens in the end you must stay strong".

Soon after Arcadian left Aurora, and headed home; to find Aria in the living doing homework. When Aria seen Arcadian walks in, she ran towards him; and gave him a hug. "Daddy I got a question" Aria asked. "What is it" Arcadian said. "Jericho wants me to go to the Hall of Angel Ball tonight, and I was wondering if I can go" Aria explained. The Hall of Angel Ball is a dance that Guardian Angels can bring their person that they meant to protect. Which Jericho is Aria's (he likes her lot, and she likes him a lot). It's also where the Angels that die or retire, even are still alive will be inducted into the Hall of Angels, Michael is one of them too. Even though he's still young he has done so much for the Realm. He got inducted at the age of 16. He took on two jobs, by protecting two people. No angel has ever done that. Also every column has plaque in it. It shows:

1. Name

2. Weapon he/she used

3. Magic

4. Favorite quote

5. What did they do

6. When he/she was inducted

"I'll think about it" Arcadian said. Right when he walked by he said "Hmm, I guess you can. But bring that knife with you just in case, and it's the only way to get in anyway" Arcadian said. Aria ran over and gave him a hug so tightly, that he might have a couple ribs broken. Arcadian starts laughing, then said "Go get ready, and make sure that Jericho is ready too, I want him to come before you guys leave. So your mom can take pictures" Arcadian persisted. "Okay and thank you Daddy. And I will make sure" Aria said.

After Aria got done being ready she came down, and said "Jericho wants you and mom to come too. Michael already has you on the list" Michael said. Arcadian smiled, right when Michaela came in he said "Guess where we're going tonight" Arcadian said. "Where are we going" Michaela asked. "All three of us are going to the Hall of Angels Ball tonight. Aria is going with Jericho, and Michael already got us on the list. Jericho invited us too" Arcadian answered. Michaela dropped her bags and raced upstairs, then she came down with Aria; she was wearing a Navy blue dress that came down to her feet, with her $250 boots, and her $500 hat. Aria wore her new $140 dark red dress that came down to her feet, her $300 hat, and her $250 boots. Arcadian came down, and Aria was in shock, and Michaela jaw dropped almost to the ground. Arcadian was wearing his $250 black suit with his red, his hair was in a ponytail, he wore his $375 hat that had chopper sign on it, and his $300 boots. "What do you think" Arcadian asked. "Mmmm yummy" Michaela said. Arcadian laughed, and Aria said "Dad you look amazing, it's probably been awhile since I've seen you in an outfit like that". "Thank you and you look like your mom" Arcadian said. Michaela gave Arcadian a smirk. Arcadian said "Everyone ready". Michaela and Aria responded "Yeah".

Arcadian, Michaela, and Aria went to Aurora, and they entered the arena. "Hold on to me" Arcadian said. Aria and Michaela grasp a hold of his shoulders, Arcadian closed his eyes and started focusing. The whole room starts to shine a bright light, as bright as the sun. "Close your eyes" Arcadian said to Aria and Michaela. They both close their eyes, then a lightning bolt came down, and Arcadian said "Open". They both opened their eyes. Jericho was standing at the door way. Both Aria and Michaela looked down. They were standing on a cloud, then a path way started to show, all three of them started walking and soon they were on land. In front of them was 10 story building with angels holding a sword looking at each other, the swords formed an X.
