Ch#03 the Ancient War
Hearing Brian, the air around veronica turned solemn, the previous playfulness vanishing off her face, her black pupils shimmered as they peered at Gabriel asking for his opinion.
Nodding his head, he shouted pounding the spear causing a tear to form on the gray space.
“By the will of his majesty, poor soul you are required to fight”
“Fight?... Who?"
“Demons,” said veronica
“there are 7 heavens and 3 hells with their respective kings and gods,” continued Gabriel, “a few thousand years ago the king of the 3rd hell Ruler of Death Dracuza and the Gods of 4th and 5th heavenly layer rebelled which resulted in a colossal war causing a massive disturbance of elemental energy in the tri-dimension creating the space between them to tear”
Veronicas eyes shone dangerously she clenched her whip making it vibrate sending waves of spatial disturbance, “but unknown to us an alien race sneaked through those tears and are now leaching off earth”
She looked at Brian her pair of horns growing, pointing straight to the sky, her body radiating dark baleful tendrils of black smoke causing the space around her to morph and distort. Her abyss like eyes peered into Brian causing his soul to tremble under the extreme pressure, “we are not here to request so don’t get the wrong idea. Also I assume you wouldn’t be keen on living here for eternity do you Brian. Or am I wrong?”
Fighting through the overwhelming pressure he looked at veronica “although I am fine with what you want from me, but based on what abilities am I to fight something even Gods are struggling against”
A snort escaped from Gabriel making the surrounding space to shudder, he looked at Brian a magnificent, overbearing aura erupted from him, “ungrateful soul, how dare a pitiful being make little of my lord’s abilities” a ball of light started to manifest around Gabriel finger, the light started to grow and a spark of lightning emerged from within.
what in the world is that…Brian could feel that as long as the ball touched his soul he will cease on existing
“A blasphemous being like you is better off perished… be gone”
“ENOUGH” shouted veronica her eyes blazing with fury, she shook he hand causing the tip of her whip to collide with the golden ball making the light on the angel’s finger to vanish, “you might not have forgotten your orders do you? Gabriel”
Gabriel who seemed to have remembered something retracted his stretched hand, the colossal aura around him started to recede back leaving only the pure round halo of light. He looked at Brian his anger subsided.
“Magic” he said
“ma-agic?” Brian glanced at veronica, considering he might not be able to reason with the angel.
“When you die, based on your elemental affinity the soul can interact with the element to perform magic
“you however are able to perform both holy and dark magic”

Brian glanced at himself, a blurry gray body, someone who can’t walk or touch his own body a pitiful ghost is able to do magic, something only told in fantasies.
But considering the mutation of his soul, this unrealistic space, the glob of golden lightning and those chill inducing black tendrils of smoke coming off veronica. These bizarre phenomenon’s pointed at one thing, the most fundamental part of a fantasy. Magic. A lot of his questions seemed to be answered as he considered the ability of magic.
When coming in terms with this fantasy a thrilling sensation started to assault his senses. It felt similar to when he was able to make a breakthrough in one of his researches or the moment he found something worthwhile to look into
Aah yes this is it, this sense of thirst, how much I missed this feeling, although he didn’t have eyes his body started to squirm in agitation wanting to know more
“how am I to use magic” suppressing his agitating soul he asked
“That’s something you’ll have to figure out yourself”
“Huh” Brian seemed to have heard wrong ‘by myself’ “how ca-”
“It’s something we can’t explain, after all you are a mutation. One of a kind” veronica seemed pleased with Brian's suffering, her horns went back to normal and a seductive heart trembling smile appeared on her face, “he-he you don’t have to be so worried” purposefully stretching her words she continued, “once you return you’ll figure it out magic is like a sixth sense, also we have something that might give you some help”
Veronica stretched her hand manifesting a glob of black light, “This is a gift from the king of hell Lucifer,” she said, the glob of black light flew straight into Brian’s chest, he felt a cold chill spread throughout his soul. Seeing veronica, Gabriel’s also manifested a ball of golden light seeing Brian flinch he smiled
“Don’t worry this is a blessing from my sovereign, it will be a help for you in your journey poor soul” the glob of white light flew over and merged with Brian.
Brian studied his chest area after finding that nothing was different he looked back at Gabriel who had a pendant with a golden chain levitating on his hand
“Consider this a gift from me and veronica”
Gabriel pushed his hands causing the pendant to fly over to his side
Studying the item he saw a half black and half white gem embedded in it, the black part of the gem had an inscription of a red colored eye while a golden spear was inscribed on the white part
“through our investigations we have found that the demons require word essence to keep on living, and to do that they have built various labyrinth’s though out the earth for the past thousands of years to extract its essence and if we let them be than earth will surely be destroyed in the near future, what we want you is to locate and help our forces in destroying these labyrinth’s,”
“The rest of the information which we think is necessary for your survival is stored in this”
Brian wanted to grab the pendant, but it traveled through his arm and fixed itself around his neck. The gem shined one last time then it became lack luster. If a person didn’t pay attention it would seem to be an item bought from a pawn shop not a magical pendant given by an angel.
“Let’s not waste more time” Gabriel drew a circle with his spear, a golden light shone on its tip with each circle the space in front of him started to break apart.
"are you just going to keep watching”
Hearing Gabriel, Veronica's eyes shone with a blue hue. The whip in her hands slithered forward its tip falling in the middle of the golden circle causing a blue ripple of energy to spread from the tip filling the entire circle making it seem like a golden framed mirror filled with crystal blue water. The blue energy kept swirling forming a small vortex.
Retracting her whip she pointed at the blue vortex “that is a spatial portal”
Brian looked at the portal and sighed. He thought of himself dead only to be thrown into a world he found absurd. But the series of events that followed made him consider that nature is all changing. What made him doubt his ideals now fueled him to discover more about this mystical part of nature, with laws that allowed for magic his own home world now invaded by angels, devils and demons.
Veronica pointed at the portal, “that is the door which will lead you back to Earth. All you have to do is walk into it”
“I hope you will not disappoint my Lord” Gabriel looked at Brian with his prideful golden eyes. Brian was shocked to find a hint of expectation within them
“I think you should go now” veronica shook her hand telling him to hurry off.
Brian took a final glance at his surrounding then slowly made his way into the portal
