Angelic Destiny

Seven


She flew backwards, feeling horrified that someone had tried to harm her. Tomoyo spotted something glinting in that someone's hand and saw that it was a sword! That someone tried to attack her again, by attempting to cut her wings. Tomoyo cried out as the sword injured her on the arm.

"You are just a weakling who does not know how to fight! How amusing..." That creature smiled maliciously as he shouted from far away when Tomoyo avoided his attack yet again.

"So you are an angel who loves to harm angels, am I right? One who is so evil that one day he will ruin himself! Do you know that when you harm angels, you are the one who is going to suffer, for when you injure one of us, you are actually slowly killing yourself?" Tomoyo shouted back.

The other looked up from where they were sitting. Immediately, they flew up to meet Tomoyo and help her, defending her from the attacker's attacks.

"Hey you? Are you so angry with me that I am not your betrothed that you are out to harm my charge?" Sakura had recognized that angel, the one in green robes who had disturbed her and Tomoyo that fateful day.

"So what if I do? And so what if I don't?" he asked as he attempted to attack Tomoyo again. "Your charge is to be killed, she will murder those that are faithful to Him and leave those who are not!"

"No...you are wrong." Tomoyo flew ahead to meet him, without the protection of the others. The others obviously protested, but Tomoyo put a hand out, while the other was still on her amethyst necklace. "No, I can deal with it."

"So...you think you can defeat me? Hmph! Let me see what you can do!" the man frowned.

"I will not let you get away with it!" Tomoyo seemed not to be herself now. It was as if her soul had gone somewhere else, leaving an empty shell that the glowing thing from the amethyst had gone into Tomoyo, for the jewel was not glowing anymore.

It started chanting something in another tongue, and a bow appeared in her hands. However, what gave the most attention was an arrow made purely out of light. It glowed so brightly that even the bow could not been seen clearly.

"This is to cleanse your soul from the evil you have come across, before you have spread it to other angels, disrupting the peace of Heaven..." the angel said, before releasing the arrow. It went right through the evil being and instead of dropping down dead, the arrow glowed for a moment before disappearing into the body. A bright light shone and an agonizing cry was heard but moments, the evil angel became a changed being. He flew to Tomoyo and cried and cried...

"Tomoyo, this is how things are to be done. I can only help you learn this way but in the future, if I were to do that, I cannot use my full powers to help you..." the glowing creature whispered in Tomoyo's head before it went back into the jewel again. Tomoyo blinked and realized that the others were looking at her.

"What have I done? It was just something that the creature taught me. She taught me many things, by the way." Tomoyo said.

"Who do you mean by that 'she'?" Sakura asked. "Where have you been seeing her?"

"Well, I meet her in dreams and she has taught me many things, including the reason I was here. Actually, I am here because of my destiny..."

"What destiny?" Eriol asked. "Whatever are you talking about?"

"I guess God will tell more about it. However, I do know that you are involved, Eriol."

"Fine! Now, let's bring this angel with us to see Him! He has some explaining to do."

"Right!" The others nodded their heads. The still crying angel followed them God's residence. Everybody was quiet, thinking about what had happened before. They had arrived eventually and everyone by then, had questions about what happened before. Everyone wanted some explanation and God was to give them some.

"Father, could you please tell me about what happened just now? Is it about Tomoyo's destiny? I guess we have to know eventually as I believe more problems like this would surface eventually." Syaoran asked after all of the people curtsied or bowed.

"Seems like I have a lot of explaining to do, am I right?" God asked.

"Yes, father."

"But first, let me deal with this angel who had tried to injure angels." God looked at the frightened angel, who was kneeling on the floor after he had bowed to Him. He was looking at the floor and dared not look up to God. Tears were now falling silently down his cheeks and dropped to the floor. "Now, what caused you to behave this way? Tell me your story. If you are honest, I will not punish you, except drop your rank...which I think is better than allowing you to do what you want."

"Yes, Sir." The angel whispered, still not daring to look at God. "I will tell you my story, but I believe that there are more angels who are like that, except that it is difficult to find them. It is only the angel Tomoyo who can find them. You see, Sir, Tomoyo has a jewel that arouses our dormant evil side and it also kills the evil aura too."

"Me? I am the one who would do all these?" Tomoyo murmured.

"Yes," The angel looked up and into Tomoyo's eyes. "I believe you are chosen because you are the purest angel of all of us."

"Me?"

"Continue your story." God said and the kneeling angel looked down again as he continued.

"My story is pretty simple. Too simple actually. One would think that it would take a long time to finish but it is not. A few years before Tomoyo came to Heaven, something was already starting to lay its powers on some angels. It was usually those dressed in robes of yellow and brown, Sir. I only joined those in green robes this year, Sir and that is why I believe that someone wanted to do. Anyway, at that time, I did not know what I was fighting against but I knew that something had wanted to fight me, make me part of its army. I do not know who Sir. It was only until today that I realized that the feeling that had engulfed me was something evil, and I was not powerful to fight it. I think that the person in charge of all these is to make the angels who are going to higher ranks to get used to the evil power and thus stop fighting against it."

"So, what happened when you saw Tomoyo with that necklace?" God inquired.

"Sir, I simply do not know. I only know that I want to injure that angel with that necklace at that point in time. I now know that it is the evil power prompting me to attack Tomoyo."

"All right, you are dismissed. Thank you for telling us the truth. You have given us valuable information. From now on, your rank would be yellow, but if you behave well and work hard, you will go back to where you used to be now."

"Thank you, Sir."

Tomoyo, who had been listening to the conversation the whole time, walked to the front and asked God, "Sir, can I place something on the angel before he goes back? It seems that I have forgotten to do something that I was instructed to do before he was brought here."

"Yes, you may." Tomoyo nodded her head and turned towards the kneeling angel.

"This will not hurt. In fact, this will protect you from the evil presence until it is gone from Heaven, for good." Tomoyo clutched the amethyst again while placing her hand on the angel's head. She closed her eyes and sang a heavenly song that was part of the spell. After that, she opened her eyes and said, "You may go now." She smiled gently.

"Why are you doing that? Why sing that song?" Eriol queried.

"Oh my gosh! Look at the time!" Chiharu suddenly exclaimed. "Sir, I guess Naoko and Rika and I have to go and do our duties, Sir, so could we be dismissed?" God nodded his head and the trio went out of the doors frantically. The quiet angel followed them slowly, but a gentle smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

When she saw that they had left, Tomoyo answered Eriol's question. "This song is a very old song. Angels have been singing it for a long time but it seemed that all angels in the choir have forgotten about it. This song actually protects all of Heaven and it is a very good protection. It used to be sun everyday. Perhaps all of the singers had forgotten about it, that is why I believe the evil presence had realized this and started invading Heaven in its quiet way."

"Now, what of the prophecy?" Sakura asked her godfather.

"I was coming to that..." God was interrupted when a loud war cry was heard...
