Poem for the chapter—written by author
'Wings spread
sword arise high
heed the calling of a battle maiden
sent to you by the gods
victory shalt not be thy enemy
but ours, as we shall prevail'

Note: this is going to be a difficult chapter, let alone a difficult fiction to create readers, so I kindly request if you could try to be patient with me as I am trying to do the best I am able to give you, a decent storyline. Anyways, on with the following chapter. I do sincerely hope you will, enjoy and review. Laters, and lets begin...

Chapter four

~In the skies, unknown Athenian angel location~

Another battle was brewing, but not among the gods of Asgard; but the angels of the Athena. A young light green-haired maiden known as Tesya no Andromeda, was given the task of protecting the jewel of her father, Shik`ra. While her brother, Rico. Forever plotted to make her leave another Athenian cosmos warrior, Hyoma no shigma. Rico was obsessed that Hyoma was evil and only sought power but it truly was Rico. As he had been working aside with the evil cosmos Athenian warlord known as Hades. He was banished despised order for his execution but was given leniency in return for his life not to be taken and never return to the realm of Athena. "I am not finished with you, Hyoma. I will return and all shall be mine." Rico stated, predicting his victory. Hyoma rose his hand and pointed the way, forcing him out from the realm. Hyoma's captain felt that he was too kind, and could be unaware that there were a traitor within the mist of the ranks. Tesya felt a sudden presence from her father and heard his voice as he pleaded them to escape before it was too late. As a conspiracy was plotted in the shadows. Without hesitation, tesya pleaded her husband to flee in to protect her and the remaining survivors.

~meanwhile, in a secret location~

Enjoying the light of the warm sun, softly shined through the canapy of the trees, tesya wondered how different it would be, if she were captured during the war between her brother and the Athenian traitor. Hades sought to reclaim new life and it was to, have been taken through the jewel which Tesya swore to protect. Luckily she had escaped while under the protection of her father's spirit within the pendant that sat around her neck.

Along her journey with her husband, hyoma which would at times, leave for off and on periods of times. To train with his master in the arctic region, to become stronger Athenian cosmos angel. Unaware that hyoma, had left his newlywed bride behind as she was carrying a precious gift within her. Gently caressed her abdomen, softly smiled and quietly thought about her absent husband. 'Return soon, dear husband. We are to be parents, soon as you return.'

~meanwhile, back in Anathemia~

Engelica, panted as she trained hard with her weapons master and co-students. As they all, took in turns of the one on one combat task. Tightening her grasp upon the swords lintel, before attacking once more while Ishtara grunted, holding her side as she was defeated and dropped her mankiri.

Browley, looked up whilst watching Engelica. Stubbornly stood and prepared to continue the fight as he cheered her on. "Take him down, sister. Make the family proud!" he cheerily shouted.

Inhaled with calming ease, as she quickly studied her opponent (which was also her teacher); before she lunged forward and attacked, not wary of that he was prepared and will instantly defeat her with one single blow that he would normally, disintegrate his enemy on the battlefield but she was his student and will only do what he must to only stun her.

Just as she approached, shouting loudly with her battle cry and tightly grasped the handle of her sword slightly away from her side, ready to be plunged through the opponent. Before she was able to swing it, had recieved a hard punch into her mid-section of her abdomen; winding her.

Grunted, as she dropped to her knees whilst holding her abdomen followed by the knee in her face that slightly stunned her; making her fall backwards to the pavement, grunted then groaned as she fell on-consciousness from the stunning blow. Her fingers loosened and released the sword from her grasp, the blade softly clanged to the cement.

Her brother, exhaled with disappointing sigh and walked over to help; carrying her to the recovery facility as the lesson was now completed for the day.

~Few hours later; the infirmary~

Eir, the goddess of healing and birth, walked in the room and sat beside engelica but she told her name was abby. Gently caressed her cheek as she slept and sighed. Just as when she reached for the cloth, engelica awoke. Grunted alittle, as she sat up. "Ugh, what hit me?"

"Ah, I see you are awaken engelica." abby stated, smiling assuring. "My ribs hurt, eir." Engelica complained and winced. "You will be alright, engelica. You have a warrior's heart. You are destined for great things." Eir replied, encouraged. Engelica nodded and answered. "I do hope so, abby."

Abby smiled, gently ordered. "Get some rest. Another big day of training tomorrow." Engelica sighed and nodded, defeated. "Fine. Ill rest but I want some beer when I win against Thor at the games." She smirked. Abby laughed. "That'll be the day, you win against the god of thunder. And my money is on you." abby smiled, encouraging. "Thor will admit defeat even it is only a game match." Engelica smiled, confidently. abby nodded, smiling and walked out.

Engelica rolled over and drifted to sleep.

~A hour later~

Engelica fell in deep slumber and begun to dream. The clouds rumbled, with thunder and were dark. No stars shown in the sky, there were bodies everywhere. Her ears filled by the battle cries of both, whom were fighting and those dying in agony. Blocking the sword that was swung over top of her head, gritted her teeth as she fought back. Kicked her enemies midsection, making him stumble slightly then drove her sword through his neck.

Within seconds she was kicked down then held, a jaggered edge of sword pointed towards her head. Glared at the enemy, standing over her then he stumbled; holding his shoulder. "Get up." The stranger told her. She looked back and couldn't see the face of her rescuer. Doing as she was ordered and retrieved her sword once more then resumed in the battle. Followed by the cloaked figure. Engelica had noticed that he did not possessed a sword but a weapon that was not asgardian technology.

Her heart raced differently also, could she know who this stranger is? Engelica tries her best to reach this stranger to reveal whom he is to her, running towards him through a endless black void.

Then suddenly she awoke, placing a hand upon her forehead. "Who're you?"
