The Knights of God

Chapter 1 The Explanation

"Tristan when are you going to explain to us what is going on. You have been avoiding answering the question for the past week, just tell us already." Miles said.

"Don't worry about it, it's nothing that concerns you guys," said Tristan.

"It does concern us though we all nearly died, you were flying around with wings and fighting some demon looking dude, were your closest friends and you won't even explain this to us." asked Lucy?

"Alright fine I'll explain it but only once so listen to everything I tell you carefully. I haven't been like this forever I just got these powers about about a month ago. You remember the car crash I got in and I had nearly lost my life. I didn't almost die, I did die," said Tristan.

(Phone Rings) Hello? Oh hey mum. Um yeah I just got done with practice and will leave shortly. Yeah I'll be home in time for dinner in time, I'll be home in 20 min about, alright bye. (Hangs up phone). Tristan grabbed all his school work, car keys, and left school to make the fifteen minute drive home.

He got into his car and started to drive home. The roads he took back to his house were all back roads to avoid traffic and so he wouldn't have to deal with other people's lack of driving ability.

(Phone Rings) Hey mum, what do you need? Yeah I know I said 20 min originally but it
took me a little longer to take a shower and get changed and get my stuff together after practice. Yeah alright i'll be  home soon. Alright bye. It also snowed the night before and the roads had some ice on it along with some snow. The ice wasn't that bad unless a car suddenly turned on it or tried to make an abrupt stop. A tight left turn was coming  up and had to reduce speed down 30 mph. Then as he put his phone down a deer ran anto the road. He easily avoided the deer but now he had already made it to the turn and he couldn't slow down or get traction because of the ice. The car went straight off the road and into a tree. The tree somehow didn't hit the front of the car at all. The car went into the ditch at an angle and the tree took off all of the driver's door some of the left rear door. The tree took most of Tristan's left side of his body along with crushing his arm part of his torso and some of his head. Tristan had died as soon as his head had impacted the tree.

Tristans soul never made it to either heaven or hell he was stopped halfway on the path
by an angel. He was stopped by Michael the archangel, but what would the archangel want with him. Michael approached him he was flying he had a set of wings that were well over twenty feet long each wing.  He carried one sword in his hand and had another on his back. The sword in his hand was an average sized sword about 3-4 feet long.The sword on his back was large more like a claymore. (Claymore was a larger version of a broadsword with double sided blade and could be somewhere between 5 and 8 feet long.) Michael's claymore looked to almost be 7 feet long. Michael didn't seem to be amazingly strong he was slender but also had a strong build. He was rather tall about 8 feet, there were no other features that were noticeable because he wore a long hood and robe.

"Hello Tristan I am sure you are wondering why I have stopped you on your path to Heaven, I will explain everything but first grab your sword," Michael said.

As soon as tristan grabbed the sword it started to glow it also got warmer, it was a near blinding glow. When it finally died down Tristan blinked all the spots out of his eyes. The sword had become heavier but barely noticeable but now the weight was also better distributed through the sword making it easier to swing. He gave it a few practice swings and then he refocused his attention on the Angel that was standing in front of him.

"So Tristan what do you think of your sword? It has become the perfect weapon for you. It is a sword that was made just to fit you and your style or what your fighting style will be. Hmm and your wings for just becoming a night they are also quite large. It is actually really quite amazing.

Wings what was he talking about Tristan didn't have wings how could he have wings? He then noticed that he was also seemingly heavier almost like he just gained a lot of weight after eating a Thanksgiving dinner. He looked behind himself and he saw two enormous white angelic wings sprouting out of his back.

"H- How do I have wings and what is this sword for I don't understand any of this at all." Tristan said.

"As I said everything will be explained to you. First of all you have been chosen, chosen to be one of God's royal Knights-

"Wait a second God has knight's, what even are the Knights of God?" Tristan asked.

"Be patient I am getting there, you will receive all the answers that you are looking for if you quiet down and listen. Now as I was saying you are one of God's Royal Knights. Now the Knights are a completely different than the angels. The Knights do tasks on earth that we angels can not like fighting against other humans who have aligned themselves with of course the Devil and many other jobs that the Knights carry out. You will learn more about all of that latter though. Now you must return back to Earth, your mum and your dinner is waiting for you.

"Wait a second what about my sword and wings my mum and everyone else are gonna go crazy if I all of a sudden have wings and carry around a sword?" Tristan asked.

"Put the sword on your back it will become invisible and dissipate, along with your wings. It will be like they aren't even there. Also remember you can't show your friends or family or anyone else that you are a Knight and that you have seen me or anything that has happened."

"Wait, what am I..."  Tristan said.

Tristan's soul returned to his body and he was completely healed but how was that possible, but then again how was any of this possible?
