Chapter 1: When This Began

Your P.O.V

My name is (f/n) (l/n), but you can call me Light. I know what your thinking, 'an arc angel who's nickname is light, how typical.' But I didn't just get it for being your average angel. I'm going to lead the second generation of arc angels! My friends and I have been training for this day since we were born. My father, Gabriel, as well as some of my friends' parents have come to escort us to our final trial which takes place on Earth.

"Light! WE'RE LATE"

I rolled over on my soft cream colored satin sheets and mumbled something along the lines of. "Shut it, I'm still sleepy…"

The sheets were roughly snatched off of me and I gasped rolling out of the bed and landing on my butt. I glared up at my chuckling childhood friend Genesis.

"Is that anyway to treat your soon to be leader?" I reprimanded playfully.

"Leader? Oh yeah, I forgot you were the leader considering your at the bottom of your class." He smirked. "Come on, if we don't hurry teacher's going to lecture us again."

I stood up and stretched a little. "What day is it?"

Genesis deadpanned. "Don't tell me you forgot."

I became serious. "What?"

"You turned sixteen yesterday so…" Genesis trailed off expecting me to fill in the blank.

I blinked but said nothing.

He slapped his hand against his forehead. "Oh for the love of- It's the day we get our wings! The day we've been training for all our lives cause we get our wings!"

"Oh…OH MY GOSH!"

"And we're late!" We both said at the same time.

We scrambled around to get dressed. Genesis had lived with me since I was five. His parents as well as seventy five percent of heaven were fighting demons and they died in battle. At first we didn't get along, but when my mother died, we got closer and now he was like an older brother to me.

We both dashed out of the house.

"I hate running!" I whined.

Genesis ran ahead of me a few steps. "Yeah well, we'll be able to fly pretty soon."

I frowned. "Remind me why I couldn't be born with wings again?"

"You really didn't pay attention to last week's class." Genesis rolled his eyes. "After Lucifer went against God and took one third of heaven's population, curses were put on every angel that went with him. One of the most well known curse took away their natural light as well as the wings of any fallen Arc Angels that later became demons. Now the only way for an ark angel to get his wings is to unlock his light. The light-"

"Is really the loyalty and strength that can only be unlocked by one's dying will to protect something.' Yeah, yeah, that part I remember." I laughed as I sprinted passed him down the street.

Heaven wasn't all bright white lights and pearly gates, it was more natural. It was the most beautiful and serene place ever, but it looked a lot like Earth. We had forests, streams, and all that stuff. But there weren't a lot of adult angels walking around nowadays. Most of them are fighting to guard the North Gate. The North Gate has two openings, one connects the human world to the demon world and the other connects the human world to heaven. Both of the doors are chained together so that should one be opened, the other will be opened to keep things somewhat balanced. The chain that holds them can only be unlocked by a special device that was broken into shards of pure light and given to specific angel families to ensure their safety.

Finally we made it to where we were suppose to meet the other angels at the river we hung out by, that doubled as our usual training area.

My other friends and fellow arc angels in training were waiting with the impatient adults. I recognized all the faces. Undine was with her mom, Ariel; Aria and her dad Nakir, my Dad and of course my teacher were there to. You don't need to be the child of an arc angel to be the next in line of arc angels.

"I know you make a habit out of being late, but this is really bad even for you." Undine teased. Her mother, Ariel, was standing behind her. I was sometimes jealous of how smart and pretty Undine was; she had dark brown hair with some blue streaks in it that complimented her sea foam colored eyes and was the genius of us all.

Genesis was always the most stubborn, brave and hotheaded of all of us. His short brown bangs always fell into amber eyes. He felt that because he was the only male in this generation, he should be the strongest so he could "protect us."

Aria ran up to hug me. "Don't listen to her, she was here three hours early pacing like a madwoman. It's good to know you're still laid back and calm even though we're about to go fight a bunch of demons." Aria was always hyper and funny. She had fiery red hair and hazel eyes that were always full of curiosity. She was very smart but also very naïve.

And me? Well I was the leader. Everyone counted on me to make the final decision. And I felt that it was up to me to keep everyone together.

"Shush you! Your answer to dealing with your worry was bouncing around and doing random ridiculous things. What we should be doing is looking back on everything teacher has taught us for this very day." Undine said.

"Don't worry you guys. If anything goes wrong I'll end up saving us all as usual." Genesis said dramatically as he struck a pose.

I smiled innocently. "In other words we're doomed."

"Children- my apologies, I mean future arc angels, it's time to go." Ariel said warmly as she approached us. My father teleported next to her and gave me a disapproving look.

"Light, Genesis, how can you be late on such an important day? You're not children anymore; you must take full responsibility now and always be ready!"

I looked down guilty. "He was only late cause he couldn't wake me up."

"Well in any case. Let's get going, shall we? I believe enough time has been wasted, are you all ready?" My teacher, none other than Michael himself said in a warm but also strict tone.

We nodded.

Ariel stepped forward. "Everyone please join hands so I can be sure no one is left behind."

We joined hands and I got anxious. Only arc angels had wings, all the other angels could move really fast and teleport. After a few moments I felt weightless and faint. It was an odd feeling, but comfortable in it's own way. I closed my eyes and tilted my head back.

"We're here." Ariel said softly.

We looked around. We were in a clearing in a forest. The air here wasn't as fresh and unpolluted as heaven.

"Now listen, there will only be a few lower leveled demons here. Your job is to stay together and defeat all of them, there are sixteen in total; three for each of you. If you find more than sixteen or there are any higher leveled demons. You are to return here where Ariel will be waiting. I have faith that you will be successful, good bye my students." Michael said sounding proud at his last statement.

"Yes sir." We said in unison.

The adults once again joined hands and vanished completely. Ariel pulled a bag I hadn't noticed before off of her back. "Take these." She handed each of us a sword. Mine was the prettiest in my opinion. It had a gold handle with a red gem in the middle of the blade. All the other swords looked alike. They had silver handles with different colored gems in the center.

I looked at Genesis smirking, he mirrored my expression. "The hunt is on!"

We walked into the forest and sure enough there were a number of lower leveled demons. At first I was scared but after the first six it didn't seem so bad. We were going further into the forest and everything went silent.

"Is that it? Did we get 'em all?" Aria asked looking around curiously.

"No…" Undine said slowly. "I only counted nine."

"What have we here? You're young angels by the looks of it? What are you four doing all the way out here unprotected and alone, hmm?" A voice asked.

WE couldn't pin point where it was coming from, all we knew was whoever was speaking was over us in one of the trees.

"Unprotected? We're the next generation of arc angels! Show your self!" Genesis dared.

"Real smart, let's all go around yelling things like that to who knows what!" Undine whispered sarcastically. I silently agreed. We had no clue who we were up against.

A loud chuckle came from behind us. I spun around but saw nothing.

"Arc angels? You?" The voice mocked. It came from the left this time.

"Who are you?" Aria spoke up.

Five lower leveled demons jumped out from different directions. One of them swung at me but I ducked and rammed my sword through its chest and it turned to ash. Another one snuck up behind Undine while she was fighting. It swung its blade and cut the back of her leg.

"Undine!" I ran forward and brought my blade down on the demons head.

"I'm fine it's just a scratch." She said holding her leg.

"My, you must be new at this. Four angels together would be untouchable by a mere five lower demon. Not that it matters to me. If you truly are the second generation of arc angels, that makes my job a lot easier."

I stayed silent.

"I only need to keep one of you alive." A boy around my age stepped out from behind a tree. He was the one who had been speaking earlier. He looked normal except for his unnaturally pale skin. His eyes were locked on me as he walked towards us smiling. "And I choose…"

Genesis stepped forward holding out his sword. "Keep your distance demon."

The boy stopped. "Hm, I can see you're a problem. You're going to die first."

He pulled out a long slender black sword. "Give me your best."

Genesis ran forward and went to slice the boy in half. The boy blocked without hesitation, and went to strike Genesis. Genesis blocked and dodged but he was more on the offensive. I dashed to help him and tried to attack the boy from behind.

"How dishonorable." The boy mused. He waited for me to get right behind him and turned to deliver a swift kick to my stomach. I went flying back and hit a tree.

"Light!" Genesis was caught off guard for just a moment and the demon stabbed him in the heart.

"GENESIS!" Undine and Aria yelled. They ran to help him but the demon boy stepped in the way and smirked.

"Don't bother, he's dead. What you should be concerned with is your own lives."

"You monster!" Aria yelled as she charged to fight the demon. His smirk widened but Undine ran forward and yanked Aria back.

"No! He wants you to fight him. He a higher leveled demon, we can't just fight him like the others. Think!" Undine said glaring at the boy whose smirk faltered.

"Well at least one of you is smart. You might make things interesting, perhaps you'll be the one I'll leave alive?"

"I'd sooner die than go along with anything you say." Undine spat. I stood and picked my sword up off the ground.

"You're going to pay for what you did to Genesis!" I growled. I never been so filled with rage and hatred. The emotions were foreign to me.

He looked at me again. Unlike the amused, cocky, and malicious looks he gave the others he looked at me with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "I see. So that boy meant a great deal to you? Well then why don't you stop talking and take his revenge? Or are you to weak and cowardice?"

He may have meant to say it in a mocking tone but it came out different. It was as if he was really interested and wanted to see if I could get Genesis's revenge.

Silence. He ran at me and I didn't back down, my fury blinded me and the next thing I knew I was running at him as well. Our swords clashed in a fierce battle. Aria and Undine tried to help. He faked an attack to the head and when Undine went to block he cut her in half. I was shocked, enraged, but over all I was scared. He kicked Aria in the chest and went to impale her but I stepped in the way and cut across his chest. He jumped back shocked I got a hit off.

I was panting for breath. Aria stood up. "We can't fight him, he's to strong! We need to go back to Ariel!" I nodded and grabbed her hand making a break in the direction we had come. I heard his laughter behind us and the chase was on. We were almost to the clearing!

Just a little further and… "We made it!" I yelled overjoyed this feeling lasted a total of five seconds. Ariel's body was laying in the center of the clearing.

"Oh my gosh!" Aria ran and took her pulse. She brought her hand up to her mouth and tears began streaming down her face. She didn't need to say it out loud for me to know Ariel was dead.

"Aria come on, we have to go!" I said looking around frantically. Did the boy in the forest do this, or someone else?

Aria shook her head and stayed put. I pulled to her feet. "We have to go NOW!"

"What's the rush?" A silky voice said. The boy came out of the woods and slowly walked in our direction.

I grabbed Aria's hand and took off in the opposite direction but demons walked out blocking my path. I turned and made a beeline to my right but more demons came and blocked our exit. I knew it was futile by then But I ran the only other way I could. Finally our only exit was sealed and we were surrounded by demons. This was much more than sixteen, twenty, heck I was willing to bet there were at least fifty!

Aria sobbed. "We're going to die!" She whispered.

"No! I'm going to get us out of here!" I said. I knew I couldn't convince her, I couldn't even convince myself.

The boy walked until he was in front of us.

"If you had your wings, you might stand a chance. When you get your wings you also get an additional boost of strength and speed not to mention your wings are like armor. But you don't have wings do you?" His black hair blew in the wind and his silver eyes were dead serious. He was looking only at me as if Aria no longer existed.

"What do you want?" I whispered barely audible.

"I choose you." He said simply. His eyes trailed to Aria. "I'm sorry, but you're going to die."

His hand went for his sword and something inside me snapped. Shoved Aria behind me causing her to fall in the process and tackled the demon. "I won't let you touch her!"

I felt a surge of power begin to flow through me. It felt like all around my shoulder blades was on fire! My eyes glowed and my senses reached new heights. I pulled back my hand and delivered a hard punch to his face. I pulled back for another one and was sent flying into the air. I hit the ground and rolled clutching my side. He sat up and spat out blood. He looked pissed. He stood up and took two steps toward me but stopped.

"You're just now trying to access your wings? It's a little late for that." Aria tried to sit up but he put his foot on her chest and pushed her back to the floor. All while keeping his gaze locked on my now rising form. "You have an undying will to protect her now that she is the last of your friends. But you need something stronger. You can't just be willing to kill for something. You must be willing to die for something to unlock your true potential! Your weak and foolish, that's the reason she's going to die!"

He stabbed his sword into her chest and I felt my body shut down as her scream echoed all around me. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. Dead. All of them, dead. He knelt in front of me keeping his eyes leveled with mine.

"I choose you." He repeated in a lower, calm voice.

That was the day I truly died.
