Wudang: Legends Of Qi Earth 196 Vatican City IV : An Angel And The Eye Of Horus

He wore it well? Alex turned to his eyes to the left where his gaze met a cluster of shattered glass on the ground. What was staring back at him weren't the normal sky blue he had gotten used to after his previous advancement, instead what stared back at him were two pupil superimposing over each other. The normal blue as the base, and gold so deep Alex felt as if his very eyes had been inlaid with gold.

It was certainly off putting if he had to be honest, his eyes were burning and his head also felt heavy. But he was able to focus himself as they walked towards the church. In the process of trying to focus however, his vision suddenly changed and sharpened.

He could see clearly, so clear that he could seen the pores on his own skin, see the waves of energy and the flow of the wind. He could see kinetic energy being formed as they moved, he can hold see heat, light, color, he could see Qi, he could see Mana, he could see spirit energy, he could see stars, and cracks and the world's beyond those cracks.

It was all so overwhelming and painful that Alex couldn't help falling to his knees and crying out in pain, his body shook with a severe intensity as blood began to bless out of his eyes, and reddish black veins spread from his eyeballs, to his face.

It was such a shocking and terrifying change that it caught everyone else off guard with fear, none of them knew what was happening, and from the looks of things, the veins on his face were spreading rapidly and seemed like they would kill him soon if they didn't do anything.

By this point they had already gotten to the front of the church, and it was in that moment the church seemed to explore with light as the windows blew out, and a desiccated burnt out corpse was blasted outside from Within the church itself. Alex was shocked, but even in his pained state, his instincts as a spirit king was still extremely strong. But calling it instinct would be a little far fetched as the best way to describe it would be an intrinsic universal knowledge. He turned to Louis and Cross and screamed at them.

"Both of you close your eyes! No matter what you hear, or feel, do not open it! Or you're both going to die! Do it now!" they didn't ask any questions into after they had already closed their eyes, which went to show just how much faith they had in Alex's judgement.

"What's wrong! Why do we have to close our eyes?" Cross asked as she already had her tower shield in hand and was about to jump in front of Alex and the others as their defense.

"There's nothing wrong, it's just that the Angel is coming out, and mere mortals can't look upon a holy being, his glory would burn you from inside out." Just as soon as he finished speaking he heard footsteps and the sound of a door falling to the ground and a further here feet showed up in his vision.

But dirty or not, the Halo of golden light on that feet was extremely blinding and Alex's hurting eyes were burning even more. The angel looked like a man in his kid twenties, his hair was pure white, the same shade as Alex with streaks of gold and eyes so blue it gave Alex paused. What drew his attention next were the wings behind him, four sets of wings, for a total of right individual wings, but they were all trailing on the ground, all of their bones completely broken and just as dirty as the body of the angel.

His hair was matter and stuck to his hair in uneven clumps, they were basically dirty dreads hanging from his hair, but even then Alex could still see the purity in them. The angel walked towards him, his legs dragging on the ground beneath him as weakness was etched all over his face.

The angel walked until he was standing in front of Alex, his face looked divine, even in distress Alex knew there was none on this Earth or in all of creation that could compare to a face like this, not even the second price who was known as the most handsome of all men could compare to the eloquence and beauty held in the guise of this angel.

The Angel raised his hands and placed them in Alex's face, Devonte and Khan wanted to act, but they knew that even weakened, they were not a match for this angel. Which begs the question of how it was possible that he had been kept captive all these years and in such dire conditions, never the less they were smart enough to know that a single move from them would mean instant disintegration so they kept put. Besides it didn't look as if the Nagel had any such of I'll will to Alex, so they just watched as the hands of the Angel glowed brightly, and the eyes of Alex that had grown garish and terrible veins were healed and returned to normal.

Well they weren't normal per say, regardless of what many would say, he still has the eyes of a god stuck in his own, it would no longer seek to poison him to death anymore as that was what had been happening. A poison so powerful that not even with how changed his body had become could he have survived it.

Because for all of his strength, Alex was still a mortal, and he didn't know it, but it was this same poison that had fell the god Horus. And it was so potent that it remained on his eyes even after hundreds of thousands if not millions of years have passed. The history of the gods were extremely obscure, but their stories were still good long after they were gone.

" you have been given the eyes of a god, it is not the father's eyes, but it is one worthy of divinity. It is now your eyes and it is in your blood and it would remain that was for all of your life, and so and so forth it would become a part of your bloodline until even your children and their children after them would inherit this eyes of divinity and godhood. Take it as thanks for saving me, but beyond that it does not belong in the hands of the Invaders who seek the father's sacred garden and have befouled his people with energies not of this world.

I grow weary of this foul air Alex son of Ben, I have been sapped of my glory and my heart holds great rage and thoughts of evil within it. How could it not, my time on this world that should have been home has left me stained with sin, so much so that the pearly gates of heaven are now locked to me and I can't go back. I can not become like my brother Lucifer before me and take sin back to heaven. But I can atone and regain my glory, please where's is it?"

Alex knew exactly what this angel was Asking for and he didn't hesitate to act as a blank mask appeared in his hands. The hands of the angel shook a bit as his fingers traced over the mask, there was listless smile on his face as he looked up at Alex.

"I remember when the mantle was first created, struck with the wrath of the father after he discovered the disobedience of the Man Adam. But it was also a gift to his creation, for he knew Eden would not be are if man didn't go out into the world and grow, to build so much until the valley of creation, that blessed garden has been fully covered and protected from the eyes of the cosmos. It is there all gods were born, and it is there new gods can be made. This is why the earth had fallen, it is what these Invaders came here to find and in the process spoiled the natural order of things.

Be careful Alexander Son Of Benjamin, only you can find it, only you can find Eden. But it is not meant to be found, never! You job is to protect and stand guard, do not let them get their hands on it. As long as Eden remains strong, as long as it remains untouched, then the revelations will not come to pass and apocalypse will not call on the people of earth.

But it has already been foretold, the antic-Christ will come, so too will the beast, so too will the daughter of Babylon, and so too will the four riders of the apocalypse. You have best be prepared and gather your army around you for the war that's to come.

And I will be there with you, as is my place, as it was fore told, leading the host of heavens to show the Divine might of God's judgement. For it is my duty as Arch-angel of the hosts of heavens, a general, as Michael!"
