Moonlight Tears & Broken Wings
Chapter 6: A Divine Weapon & A mystery to solve
-Last Time-
She could sense another like her nearby and he wasn't there to help her. She gained all the height she could and flew like a bat outta hell. :Give me the woman Halfbreed.: The voice was in her head and she knew that he would do something horrible to the knight, so she flew on. She had the better lead and the time to continue on he wouldn't be able to see her in the denseness of the storm she was flying into.
-At the mall-
The men finally emerged blood-lust sated for the moment from the great entrance doors Walter was waiting with the car. "Sir's we should hurry if we wish to catch Miss Mirzam." They hurriedly got into the car while Alucard shape-shifted into a cloud of mist and followed.
-Now-
Mirzam flapped her mighty wings as she followed her markers back to the estate. The rain rolled down her back between her and the shivering people she was carrying. "Hold on just a little while longer, we are almost there." She dove out of the storm clouds and saw the estate in the distance and changed her trajectory and leveled out into the softly pouring rain. Now she had spotted the search lights that someone had turned on the lights for the long driveway leading up to the house.
-With Alucard-
Alucard, Alexander and Walter rode through the night headed for the manor with all the speed the Rolls Royce possessed. They arrived to find she hadn't arrived yet and started preparing by turning on the lights down the drive and alerting the medical staff to the possibility of their mistress or comrades being injured. After about twenty minutes one of the soldiers came darting in saying that Seras had arrived on the back of a motorcycle. Seras came running up to Alucard. "Master, have they arrived yet?" Alucard shook his head and a second solder yelled that something was approaching the estate by air. "Its on wings like that of a black eagle." Walter gave the command to let the winged being through and they turned to see Mirzam drop into sight as she began to break her forward speed. She dropped her legs and started to run as she came into contact with the ground the massive wings still giving her enough lift to make long jumps. As she went through the front door she skidded to a stop just before them folding her wings against her back. "She's cold but alive, she hasn't woken up the entire flight out here so I fear she might have a small head injury. She kept her head turned and spoke lowly not even meeting Seras' eyes. "What are you?" Walter asked after they had taken Integra away. "I need towels and a warm bath for my pup." Alexander took Caspian from the coil of tail that held him out, and retreated up stairs to warm up the small bundle in his arms. "I am not human, I will admit that."
She said as she walked back outside and looked into the steadily worsening storm. "What are you?" Walter asked again and Mirzam sighed shaking her wings off and cracking her neck. "I am a fallen angel...A divine weapon on earth." Walter gasped, he had only heard legends of the creatures that the devil and god had put on this earth to keep the balance of souls stable. "A true one?" She looked at him, her eyes softly glowing and grinned. "Thirteen angels are on earth at all times six arch-angels and six hell-angels, and of course my self a fallen caught between both worlds neither one or the other. Part angel part devil." And with that she lost herself into the storm above. "Your a divine weapon." She smiled her eyes still on the storm but he noticed the mercury colored Wolf ears on her head were pointed behind her. "Yes."
The mercury furred tail flicked behind her with trepidation. "I don't want to lose what I have gained..."And with that she walked into the house heading up stairs and towards her room. As she shut the door to her room and placed her barrier, she finished the transformation and prowled around the room. Her body tense when she heard a knock at the door she transformed back into her hybrid state and opened it to see two people standing there. "Alexander...Caspian...Come in." The little boy now dress in one of the paladin's shirts walked towards the woman he saw as his new mother. She turned her head in shame as he caught her eyes. "What are you Mother?" Her tail twitched and she met his eyes, cobalt to glowing silver ringed emeralds. "I am a divine weapon my son, the wrath of god on earth." As she explained her families story to Alexander, the boy walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her leg. "Its OK mother your not a monster, your not bad. God put you here to help Father send the monsters to the devil."
She smiled and wrapped her tail around his waist and picked him up into a warm embrace, her wings unfurling slightly. "A divine beast in my presence, your kind are a rarity." She snorted and stepped into his open arms, a sign of trust the was even rarer then she herself was. "We have your back, Mirzam." Caspian nodded to confirm the priests statement as Mirzam wrapped her wings around them sheltering from the moonlight. "Come with me Caspian. Let me show you my world." The little boy nodded and held his arms out to be scooped up. She scooped him into her arms and darted out to the balcony and jumped off spreading her wings wide to catch the night breeze. She darted up and into the open sky. She howled and caused several soldiers to jump as she flew by. As she climbed above the clouds the full moon shown with a brilliance humans never see. She barrel rolled this way and that using her dexterous spine to do amassing acrobatic figures in the sky. When she landed some hour and a half later Caspian was asleep. "I think I tuckered him out" She said to Alexander as they laid him in his bed and the two moved to the common room they shared to talk. "So you are the divine weapon for your generation. How many are left?" Mirzam smiled at his knowledge divine weapons could be killed by one another and some died just because they got sick of living. "There are currently four angels and five demons left on this plane. Both counts exclude me." they talked for hours and found they had quite a bit in common. In such manners on raising children,weaponry and the battle between men and the devil only then did they differ but that was normal.
