The Archangel's Daughter

by Genesis Vakarian

Maria is a half breed between demons and humans. Who learns about healing herbs. I'm using the name differently. The idea belongs to SirenOmega. She knows that I'm making the story line different because this focuses on Mara Marie Azrael raised her. And she falls in love with Nathaniel. She has visions telling her what will happen, when it will happen but not the how of it. Meows.

10. Chapter 10

Mara knew where the ancient abomination vault was and arrived within a few days. Once she had dismounted, she felt Fury close by and she calmed the Horsemen without too many problems.

Mara moved forward until she was standing beside the eldest horseman, Death at the doors of the vault. She quietly sang the words to make the doors respond to her and her alone for she also controls the elementals as well, depending upon the season and what was needed.

As she entered the ruins she felt the presence of something far more ancient then the four Horsemen lurking about the place and Death followed, watching over his niece while she kept a small ball of light going as well.

While waiting for the creature to appear they waited in the center of the room until she was grasped by the oldest of the four Horsemen. Death shifted her until the creature asked. "Why would the daughter of a half bred human come to me? And with the oldest of the Four Horsemen as her pet? Hmm? Speak up now my dear girl."

She stammered saying. "Death is not my pet, but rather he and the others are family. As is Sameal." The creature hissed in laughter but realized she was telling the truth while Death spoke of the reason why they were there, to gain some help and some insight as well.

As the creature stopped moving, Mara Marie tilted her head till she heard her say. "My dear girl, you will be plagued by those who would want you dead because of what your visions may reveal in time of course. Be careful and if you ever have need of me, I shall be here."

There was evil laughter emitting throughout the vault as they left and rejoined the others outside, she felt Nathaniel gently place a hand on her shoulder and she placed one of her own over his. As a map was brought out and looked at, she left to get a chance to be on her own for a few moments before they had to go and get some more information about her visions.

Fury followed her and asked. "Why is it that you seem to be able to see the futures of others so well little one? My own mother had the self same ability, and well, I suppose it's a family trait to be passed on to others of our little family tree." And she agreed whole heartedly with the Horseman till it was time to set up camp for the night.
