Chapter 46: THE WHISPER OF DEATH

Thunder cracked wherever Lucifer went,

But he doesn't give the slightest of care,

To finish more angels he's very hell-bent,

Although Lluming was plotting,

To end him-for all thing's fair.

He flew to the sky and chanted some words,

"Please let me in, for I am one with the Lord,"

A few seconds after the sky turned dark and roared,

A portal opened, and to it Lluming soared.

The place looked like wasteland,

With wilted trees that still surprisingly stand,

Lluming felt emptiness as he continued to scan,

The world seemingly nothing, with only wind and a bit of sand.

He saw from afar a mountain made of stone,

A gust of strong wind, to his face had been blown,

He flapped his wings further and slowly reached the place,

But the moment he entered her fortress, the hair in his neck began to raise.

The negative feeling, was slowly sucking his life force,

But with revenge in his heart, does he have any choice?

Alone, he knows, Lucifer would surely win,

So he walked deeper to the cave,

Oh dear Death, where could you have been?

A sweet sad voice called out for him,

"Lluming, dear friend, is it what it seem?

Is there hate in your heart, that won't dare to leave?

Is there something in mind, that wanted to escape?

Tell me quick and clearly, before it's too late,"

Lluming crumpled his fists and tears fell down quickly,

The world was trembling, and he lost his friend he loves so dearly,

"Lucifer has gone too far, we lost so many,

Surely you are aware of that, and this pain in my chest, I no longer can carry,"

He continued to cry, his wings beginning to disappear,

His hair turned to black, as Death came near,

She smiles at him softly and wipes his tear away,

"You poor thing should know, not everything will stay,"

"But we lived till the beginning,

It felt alien that he'd be leaving,

If only I can kill Lucifer right away,

I would do that, without no more to say,"

Death held him with her hands,

As Lluming fell from where he used to stand,

The angel cried and softly mourned,

And with a whisper he asked,

"Oh why was evil even born?"

Lluming felt distant, and his words were bitter,

So she leaned to his ear and gave him a whisper,

"The presence of evil is the absence of good,

Someday it will end, like a plate licked out of food,"

"Evil lets the good, reveal themselves more,

It's the reason why heroes and angels continued to soar,

So do not worry much, for all things are for the better,

God knows what He's doing,

The pain will be released, like a chain of fetters."

Death hugged the angel, trying to comfort him,

Although she understand, he still wanted help from her,

But for now she must ease, the pain he still feels,

For it's better to create judgement,

With a clear mind, and a heart even partially healed.
