Together the team and I gathered our choice of weapon before visiting the Oracle. We had no choice in the matter considering we were the last of the most gifted angels. Raphael and Gabriel always live by the sword as their choice of weapon. Hector uses his strength and chooses the heavy weapons. Cassidy always chooses her bow that was a gift from Artemis. I choose knives. Specifically the ones dipped in chimera blood. Creepy for any other Angel.
Hector was the one to lead the way to Delphi. He has always been fascinated by her kind. I do my best to steer clear of them. The guard stationed outside her room stopped us.
"Delphi has requested that each of you enter separately. You all do not shared the same fate this time." he stated as he let Hector through.
Each of us looked at one another.
"I guess I will look for a pad for us to crash at. Someone look for transportation. We have to blend in with the humans after what happened last time. Cas find out the local hot spots. Gabriel, will you find out what alliances our target has made in the past 24 hours?" I say as the door to Delphi shuts with a bang.
I pulled out the newly equipped smartphone that was given to me in my supplies. I searched for apartments and lofts in the area that could accommodate five angels.
"Look for a mansion dear. All of you have to look the part as a band of siblings who are running away from your past life." He whispered in my ear.
"Yes master." I whispered as Raph declared that we all would need separate vehicles when we got there.
"We can pick our own cars Raph. We just need a car to get there first." Cas stated.
Hector opened the door with a look of doom on his face. All of us felt uneasy after his visit with her. None of us told each other what our destiny wrote about our individual adventures unless it was behind closed doors and under a sound-proof bubble.
The men finished going to see her and to be told their fate. Each came out with a troubled look on their face. When Cas came out, she had a look of sorrow. I wanted to ask her what was wrong, but I knew right now was not the time nor place for such a discussion. I gotta up from the bench and walked towards the door were Delphi waited on the other side. I took a deep breath before opening the door.
Inside the room was different from every other room in His home. This one was not bright with light. Instead it was dark and mysterious. There were curtains that hid the light from the room. The only light in the room was a candle that Delphi lit as I entered.
"Lovely Celestial." Delphi looked up in the shadows.
"Hello Oracle." I say seating myself as Delphi sat herself.
"Let's get down to business. Shall we?" she held out her hands and I hovered my palms above hers.
Delphi sighed and watched the events of my future. My leg started cramping and she jerked away from me.
"You will face many dangers alone.
As a leader you will grow,
As a hero you will fall.
Love will guide your decision
beyond the Valley of Death.
Good shall come from the fountain,
Evil will Reign within the Beast
Love will Conquer and Rule the Worlds."
Delphi breathed a breath and stopped with the riddles.
"Good day Celestia." Delphi said disappearing in smoke.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
The club was packed full. Full of every species imaginable. The wisps teased the drunken and the sirens begged the sober. Every werewolf was on the dance floor pounding to the music of Death's Palace.
In the VIP room, gypsies pleased the members while a meeting was held in the office. From the office, you could see the floor and the entrance door. Behind the desk sat the man of power. Izac Dunski has been in the business for centuries. He doesn't talk to anyone except the members of his league.
Today, he was talking about Father Night's return. Around the meeting table sat a leader of every species. The leader of the local vampires requested the meeting after recent attacks.
"I suggest we protect the city with the help of the local witches and fairies. Maybe we could contour up a bubble around the city and protect our kind." Lith said as he began the meeting.
"Afraid are we?" whispered the Hunter.
"Afraid indeed." replied Lith. "Remember what happened last time he was loose? Imagine when he finds out Mother Night is dead and free because the -."
Izac put up his hand.
"We will not talk of the angels now. They are deceased. Dead. What person in our city has been saved? None because angels no longer exist. Only the Fallen remain." Izac said quietly as the table began to get restless at the thought of angels existing. "The Good One has no power to create new ones because he is weak. He stole all of our Seers, even the Oracle Delphi, so that he can see what his world has become of."
"You speak as if you have your own spy nestled in the clouds." a woman of the Sirens smiled from the back.
Izac smiled. No one ever makes him smile.
"Delilah, there are some things that even the Dark One doesn't know. Like how you tricked his only son into drowning in a pool of his kind's blood." Izac said.
"He did it willingly. He was weak." Delilah sneered.
"Farah," Izac turned to the witch, "will you ever so kindly mark the barrier so that no one of the Supernatural can enter or leave without you or I knowing?"
"I will." stated the witch as she got up and left.
"All of you are dismissed." commanded Izac as he sat behind his desk and peered out into the club.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
"Are we almost there?" Cassidy cried as we stopped at another gas station to fill up.
"Yes. In about another five miles, the GPS says we will make it to the city border." Raphael said getting out of the car to get gas.
It feels so weird to keep our wings tucked in. We are so use to being comfortable. They are who defines us. Every feather is different.
"So Celestia, what house did you get us?" Cassidy said with excitement.
