Prologue

Sidney, Australia

A figure was moving along the dark corridors of a hospital. Outside, the storm was punishing the city making kids in their beds have nightmares. However, the shadow didn't care. He didn't care about anything.... except his mission.

Finally, he arrived to his destination. Room number 236. But he could not enter. Two non magical presences were inside. A doctor and a nurse were covering a body with a white sheet.

"How sad" said the doctor "such a sweet and lovely lady".

The nurse agreed "She was so kind with the kids over here. It didn't mater that she was getting weaker every day, she never let a day pass without reading a story to them".

Both left the room without noticing that a figure stayed there.... watching and waiting.

Fuck, he was late.

Getting close enough, he took off the sheet revealing the face of a middle age woman with short brown hair. If his guessing were correct, and he was sure that they were, this woman was as pure of soul as the other victims.

Suddenly, his body tensed. He could feel an aura... a dark aura. A smirk appeared in his face. Maybe he was not too late.

A shadow emerged from the body of the dead woman with such a strong force that the man's back connected to the wall with amazing force.

"Hell no" he said when the shadow took off through the window. Without thinking, he followed, not caring that they were in the fifth floor. Landing on the ground like if it was nothing, both powerful presences started to fight. One was human, a mage with great power. The other one... it was hard to say what it was. It was neither a spirit or a monster. But it was strong, very, very strong.

He was using a mage staff against a silver black sword that the dark presence had, concentrating in the fight as to not lose any strike that were becoming quick and hard. However, he could not compete with the creature. He couldn't before and he couldn't now.

"For two years you have been bothering me" Said the dark presence throwing the man to the floor and pointing the sword to his chest. "Why? I'm just trying to accomplish my mission."

"By killing people!" The mage screamed with a voice full of fury.

"Because they are not the one that I'm looking for" answered "when I find her, everything will stop".

"I will not let you" said the other; the threat was obvious "You will pay".

The creature watched his eyes for a single second. Those blue crystals reflected nothing else than hate and determination. But ..., a smirk appeared in his face, now he remembered. He had seen this young man before. Of course, he was just a kid of fourteen years old who tried so pathetically to defend that woman's life five years ago "So,.." he started to say, not minding to suppress his laugh "It's all because of her? What was she to you? A sister, a friend..... a lover?"

He had never wanted to kill anything as much as he wanted to kill this evil thing. To end this misery by extracting the life of the one who took his happiness away. But his so sore body wouldn't comply.

"Well, it's a great pleasure to have a fight once in a while. But I'm afraid that you are obstructing my mission and that is only rewarded by death" Saying this, something that the mage recognized as black magic surrounded the sword that was pointing at him.

Pain was the beginning and cold was what followed. His scars started to bleed more and he couldn't move a muscle. Maybe he should die. Everything would stop, the coldness, the hate... and he would not be alone anymore.

He would be with her.

But, as every time, thinking of her strengthened his resolve to continue fighting.

No! He would not lose. He would not die before getting his revenge.

He would not!

And with that thought, he used all the energy that was left in his body to strike him with his magical staff throwing it in the way the sword and placing two of his fingers in the middle of the creature's eyes letting free a grand amount of his power destined to kill his enemy.

How great was his surprise when the mental attack let him see part of the memory of this evil. And not a simple part of his memories... faces... lots of faces. Women, young, olds, Blonds, brunets. But all of them with gentle eyes.

Angels... the creature's victims.

And among them was his beloved.

The mage let his fingers drop and the spell stop leaving the creature weak but alive, and very surprised.

Panting, the creature got close to the young man that was unconscious because of the large amount of energy that he lost. "So, you are not as insignificant as I though" He said. Fearing for the safety of his mission, the Evil picked up his sword to finish with the threat.

"Master!!"

"Master!!"

"Shit" curse the creature. Those two were getting closer and he was too weak to fight. With a movement of his wrist, a magical shadow surrounded his body taking him out of the scene leaving the mage alone in the storm.

Two figures arrived. A black panther and a young women with butterfly's wings. Both of them shook the body of the one who was their creator.

Eriol opened his eyes with a dazed expression. His two guardians were there- Did I kill him?- asked with such a weak voice.

The sadness and wariness that was reflected in their eyes was answer enough.

"Damn him!" He cursed with a broken sob. "So close." He murmured while he was losing conscious again. "I was so close..."

But before closing his eyes, a realization arrived to his mind. His beloved's face was not the only one that he had recognized in his enemy's mind. There was another. One of the victims that was linked with one of his friends.

And if the theory of the "Angels" was true, that person was in mortal danger.

"Sakura" was the last thing that Spinel-sun and Ruby-moon heard their master say before his eyes closed.
