days later, reaching the second and the first angel

"we're here."(Julie) said out loud, her gaze locked on the massive white marble castle.

at her words I emerged, my form consuming hers completely, finishing its process at virtually the same time the castles massive drawbridge lowered, the second angel on the other side.

"I will not resist, you may kill me, the first is inside, I have him trapped in my dungeon broken and battered, he should offer little or no resistance as well."(second angel) said, his arms slowly spreading wide as his head moved upwards, his body now entirely open and unguarded.

"thank you, I will make this quick, and I will make it painless."(Granularr) I said as I stepped towards him, gently placing my hands on his shoulders and slowly lowering him to his knees.

"any last requests?"(Granularr) I asked the winged being, a question that got me a smile from him.

"yes, when this is all over and the angels are reborn and pure, make sure you take care of your sister, let no one harm her, protect her, do that for me and I will be able to rest peacefully."(second angel) said with a growing smile, his eyes somehow both joyful and solemn at the same time.

"I will honor your request, I will also do one more thing for you, I will personally make sure that the angels never go down the same path once again."(Granularr) I offered, the words spoke, bringing him great relief.

"thank you."(second angel) said as his head separated from his body, his eyes peacefully closing as the smile remained, my hand flicking the blood from off the shadowy blade and onto the marble bridge underfoot.

as I sensed his life essence drain and flee I said a minor prayer atop his body as I knelt down and began collecting blood, storing it within me as I reached my hand deep into my own shadow.

with that now finished I slowly stood, my eyes never leaving the second angel for a second, my feet remaining planted as for minutes on end I stood there, watching, waiting.

"seems he betrayed me after all, I thought he wouldn't, he did follow the first steps of the plan perfectly."(first angel) spoke, disappointment ringing in his tone.

"I knew you being helpless in a cell sounded too good to be true."(Granularr) I responded as I raised my eyes to meet his, both of ours shifting from human to our respective inhuman.

"I admit, even I feel fear when facing a piece of existence such as yourself, the sheer amount of power you possess, but God may have failed to mention one thing."(first angel) said with a flick of his hand.

"I can remove powers from anyone I wish!"(first angel) roared heartily, laughing to himself loudly for almost an entire minute before slowly beginning to adorn a face of realization, a face that became quickly pale.

"I don't have your power, you still have it!"(first angel) yelped in confusion, this had most likely never happened to him before.

"you can't steal something you don't have access to."(Granularr) I clarified, assuming a fighter's position, my fists billowing in shadows.

the first angel cried out in fear and quickly turned, attempting to flee from me, ultimately failing as he immediately began tripping over his own feet.

I sneered as I watched the coward, waving my hands forwards then sideway in a semi-circle, a wall of black instantly rising upwards in a semi-circle, blocking the first from retreating back within the castle.

a wall that would perform its function perfectly, halting the sniveling angel dead in its tracks, eyes locked on a position behind me at the same time my senses screamed dodge, my body leaning to my left as a massive beam of energy rocketed pass, soaring straight into the chest of the first, blood pouring viciously onto the ground, forcing me to race over, my fist instantly shoving a glass vial into the body cavity, soon returning with a full container that I would store within my shadow as well.

"I was aiming for you."(woman) a voice called out from far behind me, entirely on the other side of the drawbridge, their feet still firmly planted on the grass of the cliff.

"don't care, I got what I came here for."(Granularr) I stated coldly, waving a portal of darkness into existence beside me, a portal that would be shattered by another beam of energy, making me lock my eyes onto the girl in the distance.

she was short but not tiny, her proportions extremely mature and rounded, her thin hourglass figure able to be discerned from miles away, same too with her blonde hair, hair that seemed to try and outshine the sun.

"the angels were nothing but a distraction, the new ones have already been born and have been making steady progress, their first order of business was hiring someone to kill you."(girl) said as she walked closer, becoming cleared in my vision.

she couldn't have been more than eighteen or nineteen, yet she plainly wore the body language of a seasoned warrior.

it was then where she began charging at me, covering the vast drawbridge almost as quickly as I did, reaching me in mere seconds, my eyes instantly noticing her features, her somewhat familiar features, most noticeably her ears, her pointed elf ears.

"you cursed my mother!"(elf girl) yelled as her fists coated themselves in a bright blue glow, gaining speed and heat as they passed my face.

yet they did not gain enough speed to catch me, her futile attacks always soared passed me harmlessly, never once able to even closely come into contact with me.

"stay still and let me kill you already!"(elf girl) shouted as she made another desperate attack, this one wild and uncontrolled, pathetic.

I caught this one effortlessly, using my hand to squeeze the fist of the girl, cracking and popping of the digits (fingers) on it forced her to her knees wincing, tears in her eyes.

"I don't even know who your mother is."(Granularr) I admitted as my continued grip kept the girl somewhat restrained.

"the first princess of the kasulatra!"(elf girl) roared, her eyes full of hate that was all directed at me.

that was when everything clicked, the odd name, the princess, the features.

she was the daughter of the reincarnated princess I gave power to!

"I didn't curse her, I gave her power, she was already an asshole before I met her."(Granularr) I tried to tell the girl, a lie really, her mother wasn't just an asshole, she was a monster.

"no! you cursed her to hate me! you made it to where she only gained power through being a victim! I was born as a result! you cursed her to hate her only child!"(elf girl) cried, spitting on my answer, her face of pain slightly altering as it seemed she now felt more than one source of agony.

"I.....wait!.....how old are you?!"(Granularr) I suddnely found myself asking, immediately throwing what I was going to say to the wind, I had given power to the princess like six months ago or less, how the hell did she already have a kid that looks to be eighteen years old?!

"none of your business!"(elf girl) shouted, wriggling even more now in my one-handed grip, trying to use her other hand to free herself, to no avail.

"she's eighteen."(man) suddenly and unexpectedly answered for the girl from behind me, forcing me to gaze once more at the castle, where I saw a man dressed in an almost modern suit came waltzing out.

"not now dad!"(elf girl) yelled at the man who had just appeared in this really strange encounter.

"she was born the second day her mother arrived here."(God) said as he stepped through a portal alongside time, the world graying and slowing to less than a mere crawl, everyone but time, God, and I now frozen in place, void of all color except gray and black.

"just what the hell is going on here?! I just came here to kill two angels and now I'm restraining someone trying to kill me and reminded of someone I gave power to not all that long ago!"(Granularr) I spoke in minor disbelief, still reeling at over how quickly the situation flipped onto its head, forcing me into whatever family drama bullshit this was.

"I need your help."(God) said all of a sudden, his face serious.
