"Are you sure this is enough?" Aleksei told his dark and filled with sadness story, Emily never spoke a word she just listened to all the things that happened to Aleksei while he was still living in the world he was forcefully thrown into he didn't even finish it but Emily didn't have the stomach to hear the full version only the tip of it.
"Umm...excuse me I need to go and give my report" Emily forced her smile but it was not sweet and gentle anymore just forced, she exited the room and went down the hallway but in her mind the things Aleksei said still remained in her mind.
Aleksei started his story from the begining, he was just a 15-year-old boy like any other he woke up that faithful day like always he got dressed, eaten his breakfast with his parents and went to his school like always.He lived in a small town called Neviksa in Russia his parents owned a small flower shop, money was sometimes a problem for them but they still lived happily every day.
While Aleksei spoke of his parents and life before the world transfer the look in his eyes softened but the lifeless look returned as soon as he continued his story.
He took the usual shortcut through the back alleys like always, but this time something was different he could feel it with his body strange wind blew out of nowhere some nearby light started flickering, it scared him at first but the strange phenomenon stopped after a couple of seconds.
Aleksei felt relieved and shrugged his shoulders, he looked at his little wrist watch "Crap I'm gonna be late!" when he saw that he was gonna be late for his classes he started running.
While he ran strange red hole opened up in front of him he didn't have any time to stop or to move to the side to avoid the strange red hole that appeared out of nowhere.
"What the hell?!" Aleksei was swallowed by the red hole, the light was so bright that he had to cover his eyes with his hands.
"Is this the one we are supposed to train? He looks rather weak doesn't he?" a deep voice entered Aleksei's ears, he slowly moved his hands and opened his eyes.
He was shocked and scared he didn't know what the beings before him were, they were gigantic they wore strange golden armors and their faces were hidden behind white faceless masks that only showed strange yellow light in them.
Aleksei gasped at these majestic beings, it wasn't long before he spotted big white feathery wings on their backs that were folded, only one word came to his mind.
"Angels..."
As soon as he spoke one of the angels flew closer to him, the angel slowly moved his gigantic hands towards him, Aleksei was panicked because of the giant hand approaching him but he was frozen his legs refused to move because of fear, he closed his eyes awaiting death but that never happened.
He opened his eyes and looked at the hand that picked him up?
Aleksei was surprised he accepted pain and death but instead, the angel gently picked him up, it flew towards the rest of them and placed on something that looked like a round stone table.
He was surrounded by 10 angels that were identical. It wasn't long before one of them spoke to him with a gentle female voice "Welcome chosen one we shall be your guides and masters while you inhabit this world, fear not you are not in danger here"
Aleksei listened to the gentle voice that calmed him down greatly, he asked them how he ended up in this place and why the angels explained to him that he was one of the chosen that was going to defend his world from the forces they could not defeat with their own strength.
Stolen from its rightful author, this tale is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
Aleksei was told that by being summoned to this world he immediately gained a unique power that only he had and no one else in this world or any other.
He was excited at first he always dreamed of being a hero that protects the weak and is an ally of justice but his dreams were crushed by what came next.
One of the angels waved his hand and a human man in strange looking clothes appeared, he wore tattered clothes that had many holes in them and the stench that came from him made Aleksei almost puke.
The man looked even more scared than when Aleksei first saw the angels, but this man actually pissed himself as a puddle appeared beneath him he screamed some words in a language Aleksei didn't understand he looked like a madman yelling like that.
"Aleksei your task now is to.....kill this man with your power" Aleksei froze up after hearing the voice of the angels that commanded him to kill this man?
"But....no I mean...why do I have to kill him? And besides, I don't know how to use my power! And even if I did I wouldn't do something that awful!" Aleksei was scared at first but he yelled back at the angel's unreasonable request that demanded him to kill some innocent man that did nothing to him.
The gentle voice from before was instantly turned into a cold one "refusing to follow orders is unacceptable punishment" the angel that stood in the center of the others raised his hand and white fire appeared on the tip of his finger.
The angel pointed his finger at Aleksei and the white fire moved at amazing speed towards Aleksei "know pain lowly creature" as soon as the angel spoke "Arghahrgfara!!?!?" Aleksei started screaming as the white flame engulfed his body.
He felt so much pain that he could not even describe it felt like millions of needles pierced his body over and over, it felt like the eternity passed before Aleksei dropped on his knees and the fire stopped.
His face was horribly burned his clothes and his body as well, the skin was hanging from his body he looked more like a skeleton than human.
"Do not worry you shall not die, but you can not be healed nor restored to the way you looked, and you will always feel the pain of the holy fire on your body as a reminder of what happens when you defy a divine being, now rise and do what you were told" the angel spoke in a cold voice.
Aleksei slowly stood up his body felt like a living hell with every step he took towards the trembling man he spoke "I'm...sorry" "I'm sorry" tears formed in his eyes as he spoke.
He raised his hand towards the trembling, the man seeing that in his desperate last attempt to save his life stood up and rushed towards Aleksei while screaming, but Aleksei didn't move at all and spoke one last time "I'm sorry" red light flashed in Aleksei's hand.
The man stopped moving and fell down on his knees, he didn't understand what was happening to him he couldn't control his body at all, soon blood started flowing down his nose, his mouth, he cried blood tears, his ears started bleeding from every hole in his body blood started flowing out.
Soon the man collapsed down into a puddle of his own blood with a shocked look in his dead eyes.
"Ho..blood magic how rare...bring the next one" the angels spoke and soon a new human appeared but this time it was a woman, Aleksei apologized again when he killed her the same way as he did the man.
The next one was a small child a girl no more than 4 years old, but Aleksei could do nothing other than apologize and try to end their lives as painlessly as possible.
The angels repeated this so called training over and over and over with different races and ages soon Aleksei didn't even care anymore he would kill whatever the angels summoned this was their twisted way of training.
Emily couldn't take it anymore and excused herself by saying she needed to give her report, Aleksei just stared at her she left his room.
Emily stopped in front of the door that was guarded by two soldiers carrying guns in their arms, they were dressed standardly in green uniforms with helmets and black face masks.
Emily took out her identification card and showed it to the guards, they saluted her and opened the door for her, she said her thanks to them and entered the room.
"So commander how was the new chosen, I heard he regained his consciousness" Emily stood near the door, straightened her back and saluted towards the elderly man that was sitting down in his leather chair.
"Yes, general Blythe he has regained his consciousness...as to how he was well...to be honest, I have never seen such a broken human my whole life" Emily spoke with a grim look on her face.
"Hmm..tell me in details" Blythe spoke.
"Yes, sir!" Emily yelled and saluted once again before she gave her full report on the chosen Aleksei, but she decided not to speak of the strange divine beings that Aleksei called angels that looked a lot like the ancient ones that delivered their warning to earth, she decided that more investigating was needed before giving her report on them.
