Chapter 2
~~The Wings~~
``````````````````````````````````````````````````
Maron was frightened at first but somehow she felt warmth and calmness from the two angels. Suddenly, Carol and Fin burst into the room and Carol closed the door and locked it behind her. Maron looked confused.
"So, you arrived earlier than expected, Watery, Fiery," said Fin. Behind her, Carol was glowing bright red like fire and started to transform. Her short hair that was as long to her ears grew as long to her chest and wings appeared behind her back.
"Long time, no see, Windy, Watery," said the red angel, tossing some of her puffy hair to the back. She turned to Maron. "There's no need to fear my child. I am one of the protectors of your kind."
"So, Earthy, Fiery. You arrived just in time," said Windy.
"Is she's the one?" said Watery.
"Yes," said Fin.
"She is no ordinary child. She sees what other ordinary people can't see," said Firey.
"Ahh. I sense her power, but it's sleeping. Its not awake yet," said Watery.
"Umm, we better introduce ourselves to the child, otherwise we are wasting time." said Fin. The other angels looked at each other and then nodded their heads. "Maron, this is Watery, one of the important angels in heaven."
"Hello, my child," said Watery.
"And this is Windy, the messenger of heaven and also one of the important angel in heaven."
"Hello," said Windy.
"And this is Fiery, who is also one of the important angels in heaven."
"We meet before but not in my true form face to face," said Firey.
"Who's Earthy?" said Maron.
"I am. And this is Maron, the recantation of Jeanne d' Arc," said Fin. Maron looked confused.
"Who?" said Maron.
"I'll explain it to you later," said Fin.
"We must go. We are needed in heaven. We will see you tomorrow," said Watery and Windy. There were a gust of wind and they disappeared to the sky.
"I must go too. The patients are waiting for me too," said Firey. She had changed back to her human form.
"Alright I see you tomorrow too," said Fin. Carol left the room and closed the door behind her. "It's getting late. Maron, better get some rest." Maron nodded and got ready for bed. Later, Maron followed Fin to a room. There was only a bed there. "You get to decorate the room as soon we get all the stuff in, ok?" Maron nodded. Fin tucked Maron in and kissed her forehead.
"Fin?" said Maron
"Hmm"
"Can you tell me why didn't you change into your real form when Carol did? I mean to Earthy?" Fin was silent for a while.
"Ok but promise you will get some rests after this?" Maron nodded. "This started 5,000 years ago."
Flashback to 5,000 years agoMe as Earthy, Watery, Windy, and Fiery were best friends. We talked how we wanted to go down and visit the earth. "I can go. My element is earth, so it may be safe for me." I said. I had green eyes and hair down to my ankles. I had a dark green dress and a light green cloth around my waist. I also had a green jewel on my forehead.
"But it's dangerous. The King of Hell, Lucifer, had let loose the demons and beside, we need a way to seal the demons," said Watery. She was always a worrywart. She had blue hair down to her ankles and when you touched her hair, it felt like water. She had blue eyes and a blue dress with blue robe around her shoulders. She also had a blue jewel on her forehead.
"But I don't see anything wrong with Earthy visiting the earth. Beside she is safe because it's her element," said Fiery. She was described as a daredevil but she always thought of the consequences before doing the action. She had flaming red eyes and puffy hair down to the middle of her chest. Be careful. Her hair felts really hot with one touch. She also had a red dress down to her knees and a red jewel on her forehead.
"But think of the consequences. Even though God would forgive you, won't the demons attack you?" said Windy. She was always a thinker and she was very wise. She was also the fastest flyer in heaven, so it figures that she was a messenger. She had white hair down to her ankles and had pale blue eyes. She also had a white dress down to her ankles. If you touched her hair, all you felt was wind. She also had a white jewel on her forehead.
"I promise that I will make it back alive," I said.
"Ok but I'm going with you. I have a bad feeling about this," said Windy.
"Ok. I will be back. Don't worry, because Windy is going with me," I said.
"I hope so," said Firey
"Ok, be safe," said Watery. Watery gave her robe to me. "It's pretty cold down there also." I winked at Watery and flew down to earth with Windy. I shivered when we reached the sky of earth.
"Good thing Watery gave me her robe. It's pretty cold during winter," I said. Suddenly, I was pulled away from Windy's side.
"Earthy!" screamed Windy. She flew as fast as she could, but the invisible force was faster. She extended her arm. I tried to reach her hand but slipped. "Earthy!"
Back to the storyFin quiet for a while. "Windy flew as fast as she could but it was not use. She quickly flew back to heaven to get the Watery and Firey to help me but it was too late. The demon already did it."
"Did what?" said Maron.
"You see, the demons were told to kidnap Watery so Lucifer could brainwash her into his servant and use her to destroy the earth by floods. He planned to use her because she was the strongest of us four in power. But since I was wearing her robe, they thought I was Watery."
"Did the demons do something bad?" asked Maron.
Continue of flashback to 5,000 years agoThey took me down to Hell and poured some kind of liquid on my wings. It burned my wings and I thought I would never move my wings again. When I could finally move my wings, they had changed from green to a silvery blue color. Then Lucifer arrived. One look at me and he started screaming and kicking one of the demons near him. "This is not Watery! This is Earthy! You stupid demons, can't you tell the difference?" He kept screaming and kicking the demons. He suddenly stopped. The demons were relived and backed away from him. He leaned close to me and he smiled. "Well, this is good anyway because you can't protect the earth and it's easier for me to take over the earth. Then I will finally get to win over your God,"' he said. He laughed and the other demons joined him. Suddenly, a bright, holy light appeared and the demons roared with pain. I was lifted and was taken to heaven. There, my friends were waiting for me.
"Earthy!" they cried out. I saw Fiery and Watery but not Windy. I looked at my rescuer and it was Windy. Except that she was glowing more fiery than usually. I was led to God's throne immediately. I was too ashamed to looked up. I bowed before God.
"Earthy." His voice was not scolding me but it was filled with disappointment. I bowed even lower. "I'm sorry my lord. I accept any punishment for my foolish action."
"My child, I have a mission for you. You are to go to earth and protect the humans. You are to find a person who is devoted to me and that person will be the one who can seal the demons that Lucifer had set lose to the earth. That is your punishment until you can get rid of the Wings of Rain." I was puzzle.
"My Lord, what are the Wings of Rain?" I asked.
"What you are wearing are not the Wings of Earth but the cursed Wings of Rain. Whenever those wings appear, all the wings bring is cursed rain. This decreases the barrier around the humans and demons could easily hurt them. However, since you are an angel, the wings increase the barrier, but you will feel drained like you are tired. Your mission is to protect the humans also. You must break the curse before you go back to heaven. I cannot help you undo the curse for this is also part of your punishment," he replied
"I am the Lord' servant." I said. I left the room and my friends were waiting outside. We were silent. They want to help me but I refused. I told them that they could help me by help me protecting the humans.
Back to the story"Fin?" asked Maron.
"Hmm?" said Fin.
"Why are you my guidance then? There are other people out there."
"You see, ordinary people can't see angels. Your mother could see me when she was young. We were like childhood friends. I became her guidance. It was then when she married a man she thought she loved, disasters began to happen. Your father wasn't a kind man at all and beat your mother while you were still in her womb. He gambled all the money away and finally, your mother couldn't take it any more and ran away from him. I protected your mother. Then blessings flowed in and your mother got back to her feet. Then a few days ago, your mother was driving you to school when a drunk driver hit her car. I manage to save you but not your mother." Fin lowered her eyes. "Her last words was 'Fin… please take care of my child.' You were in a coma for four days when you lost your memories. Then Windy send me a message from God that you were the recantation of Jeanne d' Arc. My new mission was to protect you."
"Who is Jeanne d' Arc?" asked Maron.
"Jeanne d' Arc was the only person who was devoted to God. God fell in love with her and gave some of his power to her to protect her. You see, God and Lucifer had been fighting for centuries. Lucifer got an idea and said, "If we can't weaken God outside, let's weaken his inside. It will be nice to see God go insane to see his lover die in front of his eyes.' He sent demons to possess the British army and kill Jeanne d' Arc. But because of God's barrier, the demons couldn't get near her. Lucifer then possessed the people around her. It worked and she was burned at the stake as a witch."
"But why God didn't save her?" asked Maron.
"I don't know what was going on when she was dying. She went to heaven of course. But God wanted her to born again to help the earth since the demons were set loosed again. She was born into a young girl, which is you, Maron." Maron was quiet for a moment.
"Then why did my mom have to die? Did the demons get her?"
"Yes. Lucifer knew that Jeanne d' Arc was going to be born again and decided to kill her as soon as possible. But when the demon that was sent to do this, it saw your mother and you. It was confused who was the recantation of Jeanne d' Arc but decided to kill both of you. I'm sorry but I was too late when I learned of this." Fin looked down for a moment. Fin quickly got up.
"Get some rest. It's getting late. Good night Maron."
"Good night, Fin." Fin closed the door behind her. Maron looked up to the ceiling. I wonder how Fin will break the curse? Also, I wish that my mom were here. I bet she will tell me what is really going on. Filled with questions and wishes, Maron tried to go to sleep. After some tossing and turning, she finally went to sleep and dreamed an angel. She looked familiar, but Maron couldn't recognize her.
***********************
"Good Morning, Fin," said Maron. Fin looked at the clock.
"You mean 'Good Afternoon', Maron," said Fin, sipping her juice while reading the newspaper.
"Why are you drinking juice instead of coffee?" asked Maron.
"Angels don't drink coffee," answered Fin. "Anyway, you are late."
"Hey! You didn't wake me up," said Maron, pouring herself a bowl of cereal.
"Did I tell you that you are a late bird all the time?" said Fin.
"No."
"Well, it's so funny when your mother tried to wake you up all the time, especially when she pulled off the covers and sat on you and started singing on top of her voice." Fin giggled. "You ended up getting up but if you are too tired, you slept on." Maron thought about it and laughed at the idea of it.
"I didn't know that. Will you do that to me?" said Maron.
"Maybe if I have to," said Fin. "Now, let's decorate your room." Fin and Maron decorated Maron's room for the rest of the afternoon. Then at 6:00 pm, a knock on the door was heard. "Coming," said Maron. She opened the door and there was Carol and other two women that she recognized. "Hey! Aren't you Watery and Windy?" The two women smiled.
"You got that right. Except that we are in our human form," said the blue hair woman. Her hair was up to her waist. "I prefer my hair go down to my ankle but in my human form, this is how long I can go," complained Watery.
"Quit complaining. We are not here for letting Maron hearing us complain," said Kaze. Her white hair was also down to her waist. "At least your eyes aren't changing color every time you change."
"Like who?" said Watery.
"Don't know. The word just came out of now where," said Windy, quickly.
"Now, now. You guys," said Fin. "You guys came here to help, not having a chit-chat." The three angels nodded as they understood and changed into their real forms. Fin extended her wings and outside began raining. Then Watery, Firey, Windy, and Fin form a circle around Maron. "Now Maron, stand still and close your eyes. Don't let your mind wander and think of fire, water, wind, and rain."
"Why rain? Can't it be earth?" asked Maron.
"Well, I don't have the Wings of Earth but my Wings of Rain can help you," said Fin. Maron understood and nodded her head. She closed her eyes and thought of fire, water, wind, and rain surrounding her. The angels closed their eyes and the jewels on their foreheads began to glow. It shot to Maron who absorbed the power. Suddenly, Maron began to see strange visions. A woman who was fighting against soldiers, the woman was praying as the light from heaven shine on her, and many visions passed by her. Then finally, a woman holding a cross that was made out of wood on the stake as the fire consumed her. Suddenly, Maron heard the four angels reciting some kind of poem
Wings of thy fireListen to my desire
Give thy child thy power
At this hour
Wings of thy water
Listen to your daughter
Give thy child thy power
At this hour
Wings of thy wind
Listen to my mind
Give thy child thy power
At this hour
Wings of thy rain
Listen to my pain
Give thy child thy power
At this hour
Suddenly, the colorful light that Maron was absorbing became brighter so that some of the lights escaped out of the apartment and shoot toward the sky. It was like a firecracker and the night was decorated with beautiful colors. The color soon died out. Maron was still glowing. Maron slowly opened her eyes and then collapsed. "Maron!" The four angels rushed to help her up. They didn't see a small black angel with a blue haired guy that had a handkerchief covering his mouth, watching the whole thing. He smiled.
"So, this is the place." Unknown to the black angel and the blue haired boy, another person was watching at a distance. That person chuckled.
"You spy, I spy. What a coincidence," he said. "Well, let the fun begin."
