The silver city was plunged into the deepest darkness, the walls that in the sun shone with a strong silver light, had lost their light, there was not a single star shining in the sky, or light coming out of the windows.
For Natsu, crossing the city was worse than the battle he had been, because while he was fighting, his legion was at his side, but now he was completely alone, his soldiers had done the smart thing and went straight home, even though he would never admit it, since he loved his little cabin in the forest with all his heart, he was regretting having chosen such a distant place to live.
The city streets, which were usually crowded to the point that it was almost impossible to move without bumping into someone, were completely deserted, all the doors and windows closed, as if all the angels who lived there had simply disappeared, the only noise you could hear, was the sound of the furious wind whistling through the houses.
His wings trembled every time he heard a burst of thunder, which illuminated the black clouds below his feet, marking them with lines of light that split into several different paths as if they were a huge spider web.
The fact that he was covered from head to toe with the black blood of the enemies that entered through the gaps in his armor leaving his clothes sticky, and glued his red feathers to each other, added to his concern, only worsened his mood, in all the millennia of his life, he only remembered one moment in history when Archangel Michael, the prince regent, had left Heaven in a similar situation, it was the day he had to send his brother, Lucifer, to the ends of hell.
"Natsu." He hated it when it happened, the beings who managed to reach his back without being noticed were so few that he could use his hands to count, but among them was the angel who called him, Miguel was a beautiful man, his blue eyes like sapphires , and the long golden hair, united with the fair skin and the ever present expression of acceptance, conveyed the image of purity, which served to hide the cruel warrior underneath, but the twelve golden wings that came out of his back, identified him as the most powerful of the archangels. " My friend, I need to talk to you, could you come with me? "
Natsu knew that the request was just a cordiality, for him, as well as for everyone who lived in paradise, every word that passed through the Archangel's lips was a absolute command, Natss accompanied him, as the archangel returned down the same street, in within a few minutes the two had passed through the immense pearl gates of the city, and moved farther and farther away.
After almost an hour walking, Miguel finally stopped, just below an immense cherry tree, but it was not an ordinary tree, each of its leaves shone with a different color, illuminating everything around it with a rainbow light.
The Archangel was silent, looking at the trunk of the tree, completely immobile, as if he had transformed himself into a statue, almost an hour later, when the silence was becoming unbearable, he turned.
Natsu wished Miguel would stay looking at that tree for all eternity,so he wouldn't have to see the expression on the Archangel's face, pain and sadness as he had never seen before shone in his eyes, even his immense wings had lost their golden glow, and were fallen , the feathers of the tips touching the ground.
"What's going on Miguel?" Natsu couldn't contain the panic in his voice, this was the first time he had seen the Archangel in that state. " Are you alright?"
"Natsu, how long have we known each other?"
"What?" The archangel was silent, waiting for his answer. "I can't say, millions, maybe billions of years."
"And all these years, you were by my side, you were my best friend, my greatest advisor, and my right hand." A single tear ran down the Archangel's face, and dripped onto the floor, where it touched, the brightest and loudest thunder of that day appeared. " In a way, you were closer to me than my brothers. "
"Miguel, you're making me worried."
The Archangel ignored him, as if Natsu hadn't said anything
"Among all the people I know, I never imagined that you would break our most sacred law."
"What do you mean? Which law do you think I broke? "
"My friend, don't make this situation any more difficult."
"Miguel, please explain to me what's going on!" The Archangel started to cry, and the ground at his feet became what seemed to be roots of light. "Miguel!"
"I never imagined that I would have to go through a situation like this again." The Archangel took a deep breath, straightened his stance, his wings left the ground and began to glow in gold, he had become a completely different person, his eyes still swollen from tears, were dry and empty.
This, more than anything that had happened, left Natsu worried, Miguel had suppressed his emotions, assumed the mask of indifference that was feared by all the Kingdoms, no longer the gentle angel who wept for his friend, now he was the implacable warrior, who had fought alongside the creator himself against the forces of darkness, and had survived.
"Natsu Dragneel, להבה הרסנית שמורידה את המציאות לאפר, Commander of the Fire Legion, you are accused of breaking the most sacred of laws left by the creator." Natsu couldn't speak, even breathing was difficult. " As Prince regent of Heaven, I sentence you to fall. "
"Why are you doing this to me, Miguel?" Terror as he had never felt in all his life, was dominating Natsu. "How dare you betray me?" Natsu fell to his knees, terrible pain taking his wings, as if someone were painting his feathers with a brush, they were slowly turning black like a starless night. "I BEG YOU, DON'T DO THIS WITH ME, MIGUEL !!!"
"I'm sorry, old friend." With a sad gesture from the Archangel's arm, the clouds below Natsu, became thin, until they disappeared completely, and Natsu plummeted. " Bye."
The first thing that Natsu realized was that his wings did not obey him, and the second was that his house was getting farther and farther away, the rain that fell from the black clouds wet his face and mixed with his tears.
Natsu closed his eyes, and for the first time in an eternity, even though he knew it would be useless, he prayed to his creator, asking with all his strength that the fall would kill him.
