Chapter Twelve
"No!" Toshiko said, a weird purple colour shining in her eyes.
"Silence her," the main angel said.
But those holding her let go and the others backed away.
She walked towards the altar, her stride was definite and authoritative. "Leave her alone."
"Why is she still talking?" the main angel said looking up.
"She has the star of kyehed," one of the other angels said noticing the glowing stone that hung around her neck.
"It is of no consequence."
"But we must follow the wishes of the holder of the star of kyehed."
"You know they speak the truth," Toshiko said with a voice that wasn't quite her own.
"Kyehed is no ruler of me," he said raising the knife again.
Toshiko raised her hand and the knife left his hands and landed in hers.
"You will let the humans go or you will feel your own blade."
"You wouldn't do it."
"Would I not?" Toshiko lifted up into the air and landed next to the altar. She waved a hand over Gwyneth, who came to. Toshiko helped her up and Gwyneth ran to the corner of the church.
"What right have you to be here and use these people like this?" the voice using Toshiko said.
The other two angels looked worried.
"Do not worry my brothers. I know you were just following orders. The time had come now to choose your side."
Without a moments hesitation they flew to her side.
"And what of you?" she asked the main angel "Do you repent?"
"Never, this world is mine for the taking."
"Then you leave me no choice." She said letting go of the knife which flew by itself through the air and embedded itself into the angel's chest.
He screamed and disappeared. The spell was broken, everyone in the church came to and was wondering what had happened.
The other two angels disappeared. The force left Toshiko and she fell to the floor.
