Part 1
(Third Person's POV)
An Elite Scarlet Knight walks along the Rose Garden situated behind the Dark Castle of King Nightmare. He is wearing a dark red dragon scale armor and straped on his waist is a Sword forged from the hottest of flames, its blades sharper than a diamond
His name is Murder, one of the strongest being in the Empire. He rarely ever talks nor smile, his eyes are a bright red but his right eye has a purple dot in the middle of it, his hair a faded violet. He usually has a hood covering his head much less hiding his face
As he walks along the path to the Central Garden, a few knights saluted to him when he passed by. He likes the respect he is given, yes. But it can be annoying sometimes. He crossed an arch of roses, a bridge and pass the big Willow Tree, he arrived at the Central Garden and there waiting for him are his colleagues, Horror, Cross, Scoundrel, and Homicide, all were wearing the same type of armor and same sword
They all headed to the Throne Room where the King is waiting for them. As the heavy and grand double doors opened up, there sat proud and mighty is King Nightmare himself, Ruler of the Moon Empire
They knelt before their King showing him respect "Horror, Cross, I am sending you both to the ****** Kingdom to discuss some matters with them. Tell them I don't have time for any engagement or any shit right now"
Horror and Cross stood up and bowed to the King and left
"Homicide, Scoundrel, I want you two to head North and investigate what's happening there. One of our troops reported of capturing a creature and requested assistance in transporting it back to the Kingdom afterwards"
Both of them nodded and bowed down "Those imbeciles can't even do a simple task" they heard the King say afterwards and they soon left
"Murder..." there was only silence that was heard, and Murder knew he was in trouble. Or so he thought, he heard the King sigh
"Murder, as the Head Knight, I want you to increase guard patrol over and around the Kingdom. I can't deal with thieves and other shit right now" Murder felt relived but nodded either way. He bowed down and soon left
~~~~Timeskip to 2 weeks later~~~~
Horror and Cross arrived back a week later with news that the ****** Kingdom had suddenly declared the Moon Empire an enemy. The King and Queen were furious about King Nightmare's response and blamed him for breaking their daughter's heart
And King Nightmare didn't give a single shit, he already have a lot of enemy, if anything it just made him laugh
And after that, Homicide and Scoundrel came back after a week and reported back to the King. What they found was something the King should know about, Murder was informed to meet at the Throne Room to discuss Homicide and Scoundrel's mission
When he arrives there, everyone started to discuss the findings
Scoundrel started first
"King Nightmare, we would like to report to you unbelievable findings from the mission" his voice laced excitement and his eyes were sparkling
"Go on"
~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~
As Scoundrel and Homicide arrived at their destination, they were quickly met with a few knights informing them of the event
A few knights had been scouting the area and they came across a lake not far from camp, not thinking much about it, they added it to the map they were carrying and set up a few tents there
In about a few weeks, 3 weeks, strange happening had been reported to the Head Scout. Thinking it was an enemy, they started to increase patrol over night time, but the strange activity never left
In a few more days, some feathers have been spotted near the small waterfall. The feathers were pure white, some say it's white as snow. Some even reporter seeing a figure or a silhouette of a female walking along the edge of the lake, with big 'wings' trailing behind her
A few also reported hearing heavy flapping as a shadow flew pass them, like a creature with big wings flying above them
These reports gave Scoundrel and Homicide chills running up their spine. Homicide suggested creating a few traps to where the being is mostly spotted
But those traps were proven useless as they just caught either birds or rabbits, but just a few days, Homicide and Scoundrel were able to experience those said activities. They saw a silhouette of a female walking along the edge of the lake, big wings trailing behind her as she graceful walk
They gathered a few knights and tried to approach the being. They quietly crept near her until they were close enough for them to be able to talk to the being
But upon first sight of the approaching knights, the female spread its wings and with a swift push, she flew into the air and disappeared. The wind she caused was so strong that some knights were pushed and fell into the lake
After the first week, they tried to approach the female again and again but to no avail. That is until they discovered that the female is quite attracted to animals, specifically, doves
And with the great information, they quickly built a simple trap, but with the resources they have, the trap was very well crafted
They waited until nightfall to set the trap, luckily, there were no flaws. They waited for the being to appear and for their plan to work. And at the struck of midnight, a sound alerted the knights and they rushed to see where the noise came from
They heard desperate screeches and scratches on the ground, excitement and anxiety filled them as they approach the trapped creature
When the creature took notice of them, it quickly struggled more to get out of the trap. A few knights quickly held the creature but it only struggled more, it let out a loud screech and squirmed in their grip
One knight held down its wings but the creature retaliate and threw him. They quickly tied the creature and covered them in a blanket as the creature struggle more
Once the creature calmed down, they put it in a cage sealing it shut so it won't escape
~~~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~~~~~
"From there, we didn't take off the blanket for we want you to see it first your majesty" Scoundrel said looking at the King
"So where is this creature now?" the King stood up from his Throne and followed Homicide and Scoundrel along with his other Elite Knights
"We apologize your highness but we couldn't find anywhere suitable to place the cage so we set it in the Rose Garden" Homicide apologized but King Nightmare seems unfazed
As they walk along the Garden, a few knight were guarding the place making sure that no intruder comes in. They bow seeing the King approach them
When they got there, a cage was placed in the dome shaped greenhouse of the Rose Garden. The cage was sealed shut just like what they told the King, and inside is the creature still covered in the blanket
"Get the blanket off" Nightmare commanded, Homicide went behind the creature quickly snatched the blanket and taking it off
What they all saw was something unbearable. Murder on the other hand, felt like butterflies invaded his stomach
There in the cage, curled up and confused, Long Blue Hair, Ocean Blue Eyes, Pure Snow-Like Feathered Wings, and dressed in a Beautiful White Dress, is a Female Angel. Once the angel took notice of their presence, she quickly scrambled back only to hit the metal bars behind her
She started to tremble and tears ran down her face. They didn't know what to do, they tried to reach out to her but she just shakes more
They had no other choice but to leave the Angel alone. Nightmare was kind enough to let the Angel free from the small cage and is still trapped in the dome shaped greenhouse, at least there's room to fly
As they all left, Murder stayed behind to observe the Angel a bit more. He just couldn't take his eyes off of her, she looks so beautiful. The Angel quickly flew away and out of sight from him
Murder stared at where she disappeared wondering how such beauty even exist. With a sigh, he left the Garden
Swap peeked from her hiding spot and watched as the knight left. She curled in a ball and started cry, she needed to head back home, but now she is trapped in a cage. It may be big and had lots of room to fly, but it felt like it wasn't freedom
She wondered how she is still able to fly even, despite injuring her wing. Her muffled sobs turned down and she rest, she close her eyes and drifted off to sleep
The next few days of living in captivity, Swap noticed the amount of guards patrolling the Garden, even at night. She tried to escape countless of times now but they all failed
She was also given food which is very generous for them, but she refuse to eat meat. It might take a while for her wing to properly heal since she had been flying constantly
She also wonders what her friends are doing back home, surely they are looking for her, right?
🗡️Murder's POV🗡️
His Majesty entrusted the care of the Angel in my hands and I'm all down for that. It gives me a chance to get to know her
I entered the Rose Garden and headed to the Greenhouse, I entered and all I can hear are the animals that live here, no sight of the Angel
Walking further in, I look around just in case I may see her, I heard rustling of tree leaves and I caught a glimpse of something white
I sat down and lean against a tree closing my eyes, I can hear more rustling of tree leaves and I felt wind went pass me. I ignored it and decided to stay there for a while. If my theory is correct, she is trying to make me leave. But that ain't happening
I smile to myself and just relax while listening to the Angel more around, eventually she stopped probably tired. I heard a 'thud' and I took a small peek, I see the Angel staring at me getting closer
I stay still not wanting to scare her off, eventually she was beside me and she tilted her head. She must've thought I was asleep, I feel her hand cup my face, what is he doing?
'tweet! tweet!'
I open my eyes a little and see the Angel talking to a bird, the bird stand on her pointy finger" אה-הא, כן? וואו, זה כל כך מתוק!" I hear the Angel say and just by her voice, she already sound beautiful. She was kneeled down with her wings tucked behind her, her hair adorned with flowers. Her back is facing me so I wasn't able to see her face, she keep 'talking' to the bird like it was a person
(That's supposed to be "Uh-huh, yeah? Aww, that's so sweet!" I used Google Translate T^T)
The bird 'talked' back to her and it turned into a whole conversation, I just sat there observing her. Okay fine, I'm admiring her. She looks so beautiful, so pure. I accidentally moved my armor which made a noise, she swiftly turn to me and quickly flew away
Damn it!
☁️Swap's POV☁️
I flew away as soon as I see the knight awake, I landed on one of the tall trees and watch him. He stood up and look around before walking around
Why won't he leave? Did the male with a crown ordered him to stay here? What do they want from me?
For the rest of the day I stayed hidden still trying to make him leave, after many attempts he still wont leave! Stubborn mortal... he is cute though
As midday arrive, he actually left! Finally, peace and quiet. I sat against a branch feeling relaxed as ever, though I felt hungry for some reason. Usually we angels don't get hungry as often, we just eat some holy bread when we feel starved and that's about it. It is unusual how I feel hungry all of a sudden, didn't I just ate a holy bread a month ago? Strange...
I glided down from the tree and look for some fruits suitable to sustain my sudden hunger. Hmm let's see, Apples, Pears, Oranges, Avocados, Peaches, Grapes, Strawberries. Wow, there's a lot, hopefully it is enough to satisfy my hunger. I grab what I can get and look for a suitable place to eat, I fly to the top of the dome to look for a nice tall tree, luckily there's one!
I glided and landed on one of the tree's branches, it's like a little nest! I set down the fruits that I got and strated eat. I have to say, the fruits were delicious but I'm still kinda hungry. I lean against a trunk looking over the dome, I heard the gate open and I peek down
What is he doing back here?!?!
He kept walking along the path probably looking for me
(Third Person's POV)
Swap watch the knight wander around the Dome Garden before stopping and looking up at her, this surprised Swap as she hid away
Murder only chuckled seeing the Angel hide from him, he thinks its quite cute. He sat at the base of the tree and took a 'nap'
Swap took this as a chance to glide down and hide in another tree, she peek from her hiding spot and watch as the knight sleep. She doesn't know what it is but something is drawing her close to him, she ignored the feeling and flew away
'I really need to stop flying, my wing is starting to hurt..' Swap landed on the ground near a pond and lay there for a bit. She stare at the ceiling of the dome wondering when will she get back home, eventually her eyelids got heavier and heavier as sleep took over her
Murder wondered where did the Angel go and started to look for her. When he got to the pond, he saw her laying there fast asleep
Some strand of her hair covering a part of her face, her wings tucked behind her as the soft sun rays shine on her. Murder can't help but feel at ease as he sat beside her, still far away though
He stare at her appearance as she sleeps peacefully, he smiled to himself as he lays on the grassy ground and eventually falling asleep
As the days gone by, Swap had developed quite a relationship with the knight, he would often visit her and tries to find her as well. Murder only fell in love for the Angel even more, the times he spends his time with her seems like pure serenity
Alright let's stop here, I think this is a good end for now
Next Part will be where Murder tries to get closer to Swap day by day
So stay tuned!
And also...
There might be another ship on the way, I'll give you guys a hint

He is someone Powerful
