Angelic Destiny
Ten
"So, Eriol, what do you plan to do when I tell you that the two of you will have to be together to save Heaven?" God asked, his eyes twinkling.
"Well, I personally do not know. What I do know is that I will try my best, and so will Tomoyo." He answered truthfully.
"Good, because if you don't, you will watch out."
Eriol had not wanted to wake his beloved up, but under circumstances, he had to do that, for He was going to tell them about the prophecy and if Tomoyo had missed that, she would probably five him, Eriol, a lecture on why she was not waken by him when He was talking about the prophecy, which was so important to her and Heaven's future, since she was part of the country now.
He walked towards the chair where he had placed Tomoyo there when he arrived. Gently, Tomoyo was awaken by his gentle shaking and calls. Tomoyo looked around, rubbing her eyes at the same time. She was still tired after all, and she was not used to sleeping during the day, when she had so many activities on.
"So, I guess we are here now." Tomoyo murmured as she stood up and curtsied to Him. "Good afternoon, Sir."
"Dispense with formalities. Have a seat." He said, as He waved His hand around. Two chairs appeared in front of the couple immediately and the two of them tentatively sat down, feeling nervous.
"Don't worry. It is nothing. I do not wish to see the two of you standing for a long time. The whole matter about this is really going to take quite a while for me to finish, and I do not wish to see you all tired out when you have to battle another angel influenced under that person's powers."
"Thank you, Sir."
With that, He started by showing them a film of some sorts. It was about someone, one whose rank was purple, like Tomoyo, fighting a gigantic creature that was so hideous that Tomoyo shuddered. The creature was cunning and after some time, it was finally over in a flash of brilliant white light. However, though the creature disappeared from view, the angel died of the injuries inflicted by the monster.
"This is the angel Nadeshiko, Sakura's mother, whose rank is the same as yours, Sakura. Nadeshiko was an angel who was born in Heaven, but she married a human, Sakura's father. As it was difficult times then, Nadeshiko left Sakura and her brother, Touya, in her husband's care while she went off to fight the battle against the creatures. She was not home all the time and when she died in the end, Fujitaka, Sakura's father, told a lie that Nadeshiko died out an illness, when in reality, she died when she defeated the monster. That was four hundred years ago, and I guess that the same creature will be here again, as it is the last time, to try to take over Heaven by its own way, stealthily."
"Sir, what has it got to do with me? I mean, I do know that this rank was not filled for four hundred years until I came to Heaven, but why is there such a rank when I have read that there will only be one angel who would be in this rank when the time comes?" Tomoyo asked.
"I do not know why, but you will have to ask my ancestor, who, alas, had passed away. He started this rank, perhaps to show that this angel is the only one who will help save Heaven." God sighed. "It is perhaps, after such a long time that all angels have forgotten why this rank is here. I myself had thought that that fellow would be hidden in the dark for about one thousand years before coming out to try to take over Heaven, but why now? It was always shown that the creature would stay hidden for at least a thousand years before resurfacing again. Unless..."
"Unless there is one angel here who supports that creature of darkness." Eriol finished the sentence.
"If that is the case, then the angel must be someone of great power, for already, many angels are infected with the evilness and it will not be long before even angels like us would also get it."
"Yes." Tomoyo nodded her head. "However, how do we destroy the creature? I know that it will be a long time later before it appears again but I would like to try to destroy it, if possible, so that the sanity of Heaven could remain, safe for some time, at least."
"Well...even I do not know, so I do not know how to answer your question. It is possible to find out the thing used to destroy it, or at least imprison it." He paused. "So in the meantime, take things in your stride and save angels whenever possible and we will know what to do eventually!"
"I get what you mean," Eriol said dryly. "I understand that this is a unique situation which You have no idea of what to do. Well, actually, all of us do not know."
"Well, any more questions?" He asked. The two angels shook their heads as they stood up and bowed or curtsied and took their leave, for they had assumed that He was tired already.
"I guess we have a lot of things to think about now that we know more about the evil creature." Eriol mused as the two of them walked silently down the corridor towards the door.
"Yes, I agree. However, don't you think that it is a bit funny that we do not have a name for that creature? I mean, do we just call the evil creature either 'the creature' or simply 'it'?"
"Now that you think about it, I guess that you are right. How about just call the creature 'it'? Besides, we cannot use the word 'it' in Heaven, it is a taboo for it insults all the angels and creatures living here."
"All right then. 'It' it is."
The two of them continued talking while walking elsewhere, preferably somewhere nearby quiet and private, for they were, after all, talking about important things that could affect the whole of Heaven. Little did they know that someone was tailing them, an evil smile playing on that angel's lips...

Finally, I have gotten this chapter done! Took me a long time, for this one. Well, I am very sorry about it for I still have some holiday homework that took my attention away from this...I'll try to update as soon as possible! However, please do not think that I am going to give up on this fanfiction just because I did not update for a long time- it is because exams are coming soon. However, I will update as much as I can the moment exams are over, all right?
