Sorry bout the lateness of this chapter it is a result of a lot of
school work, no feeling well, and lack of C&C to keep me enthusiastic
about writing this story.

Chapter 18: Forces Gathering.
I was in my room, looking at the weapons Lilith had but there some
time before. She had put them there for my defense, and I would need
them in the battle to come.
I examined the two weapons that were on the floor, a sword and a
revolver. The revolver was fully loaded with bullets, and there were
about thirty extra bullets in a small leather bad.
The sword was very strange indeed. It wasn't made of metal, but of
wood. It was painted all white and shaped like a large cross. It was a
one handed sword, and was perfectly balanced. Whatever could I do with a
cross though? I needed a real weapon, not a blunt piece of wood.
Taking these weapons, I decided to go downstairs..........
"They are in war."
"Who?"
"The A.C.M and the Demons."
I know. It's strange."
"It's a stroke of good luck."
"I don't believe in luck. Someone is behind it."
"God?"
"Alice. You're job is to go and find out who's manipulating us and
why."
"Yes sir. And what if I don't find anything?"
"You will."
"Yes sir."............
I walked outside of the house and looked around. The Angel hadn't
reached here, but his terror had spread far. People were hiding in their
houses, hoping this will somehow protect them from the Angel. But
nothing could stop them, except me. And this Talisman that everyone
talked about. But that was long lost, at least that's what Maeyli said.
Maeyli was standing next to the door, leaning against the brown
brick wall. "I still don't like this idea. You shouldn't pull yourself
into the affairs of others. Best to stay out of the way."
"Stuff it."
I turned around to see Lilith on the to the left of me. She was
leaning against the walls as well, with an unreadable expression on her
face.
I was surprised that Lilith said that. She was usually calm when
dealing with people, unless they pissed her off. I wouldn't have been
surprised if Lilith knew Maeyli. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to help you. If you're going to fight the Seven Angels,
you're going to need help. Your powers aren't fully developed yet, and
the Seven Angels are terribly strong."
Maeyli spat on the ground and glared at Lilith. "We don't need any
help. We can do fine by ourselves."
Why these two argued, was no concern of mine. But if they were going
to waste time, then I would have to stop them. "Shut up will you? This
is no time to argue! Lilith, you can come along. Now we need a way to
get to Bane, a very quick way. I'm sure you two can teleport us there?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
"Good."
"Room for one more."
Now my eye focused to someone now to the right of me. It was another
woman, Sarah to be exact. "What are you doing here?"
She fingered a sword she had buckled to a black belt she wore around
her waist. Unlike usual, she was wearing something decent. A loose black
t-shirt and dark blue jeans. "I'm here to lend a hand. I heard you're
going off to fight the Seven Angels, and I want to give you a hand."
"No way!" Complained Maeyli.
And Maeyli's voice was soon followed by Lilith's. "You're not
coming! We don't need a Demon spy with us."
"Now, now Lilith, I'm no spy. I've retired from the ranks of the
army, due to this damned treaty with God and the even more idiotic war
with the A.C.M. Someone's manipulating all of us, and I want to find out
who."
I nodded and decided to ignore Lilith and Maeyli's complaints. "You
can come along as well. I need all the help I can get from what I hear.
So, can we leave now?"
Everyone agreed and we all teleported away............
A tall, light skinned man was walking through an icy blizzard. This
man had short brown hair and dark green eyes. He was of a very low
build, and appeared very weak. A pair of wide brimmed glasses was on his
face, giving him almost a stereotypical nerd look.
He wore a dark black jacket and special pants to protect against the
bitting cold. It was so cold that he had to wear almost half a dozen
layers of clothes just to stop from freezing, as did his aid, who was
walking behind him, struggling just as hard to make it through all of
this.
Finally, after hours of walking, the man with the glasses fell to
his knees and looked down at the ice. It was very thick, and hard, and
quite slippery. But about a meter beneath the ice an object could be
made out. A small rectangular shaped object, but he couldn't make out
the details because the ice was so thick.
Throwing the large travel bag he had on his back, he put his right
hand on the ice, right above where the box was. He then exerted his
whole willpower onto the ice, and it started to melt. Quickly, all the
ice around the box faded away, leaving a small pink box floating in a
small pool of water.
The man picked it up, and his aid watched from behind, examining the
object throughly.
The box was small, about the size of a fist. It was rectangular in
shape, and a light pink in colour. On the top of it was a large blue
seal, which showed a picture of a angel blowing a bugle. The seal looked
like it was made of wax, but couldn't have been because it would have
been washed away after all of this time.
"The magic seal on this is extremely strong. We'll have to take it
back to base and see if we can break it."
"Yes sir."
As the man got up off the ice, with the small box in his right hand,
he spun around. As he spun around, he used the back of his left hand, to
slap his aid in the face with it.
When the hand came in contact with the face, there was a horrible
cracking and snapping sound as the man's head turned 270 degree from
it's original position, giving it a terribly disturbing look. The mans
next had been snapped, cor shattered to be more specific.
The man shook his hand a little as the body of the other man fell to
the ice. "I can't trust anyone with this, no one at all. Pandora's box
is mine!"
