The Fallen Angel by Nasedo
Page 1 of 3
"Many Angels have dreamed about slaying the Fallen Angel, for the reward was
of extreme value, you would become an Elder – Creator of worlds and Universe
but more importantly the Heavens itself. I too had my eyes on the Fallen Angel,
the only difference was, I did not think I could defeat him, I knew it.
However, I never thought to myself the reason no one had ever returned…"
Nasedo walked through the Forum where spirits were enjoying themselves
talking, playing games or watching people down on earth through orbs.
The usual bustle of the people buzzed through out the Library of Knowledge
as scholars believed here that talking was more relaxing then total silence.
Nasedo strolled down the columns of books until he reached the section he
was looking for.
He pulled out a huge book that looked like it had never been read, the shelf
lifted from relief of the weight taken.
He sat at a desk far away from the view of others so he would not be
seen.
He stared at the book in front of him wondering what was waiting for him
inside. "Fallen Angel, the true story," he whispered.
The book slowly opened coming to life displaying images and texts in front
of him about the Fallen Angel and how many had been sent forth to defeat him
and had never returned, how the power of the Fallen Angel would be purified and
would empower the one to destroy it making him or her an Elder. None of this
was new to him, another waste of time trying to find a way to defeat the Fallen
Angel.
"Ugh, if no one has ever survived an encounter with him how do they know
that you’ll become an Elder if you destroy him?" Nasedo asked himself in
disgust.
Nasedo left the library in a hurry; he was late to a meeting with one of the
Elders.
He passed columns embroidered with dialect carved in gold, all gibberish to
him for they were written in the ancient language of the Kaldeer, reaching a
varnished dark wooden door marking the entrance to the meeting room, he opened
the door and went through staring at the back of a hooded figure. "Ah
Nasedo," came a low raspy voice from the Elder who turned around to look at
him. "Found nothing of usefulness at the Library? Hmm?"
Nasedo stared at the wrinkly face masked with white beard and white eyebrows
thicker then the hair of most men, his grey eyes gleaming in amusement and a
smile covered by an equally white moustache. "How did you?" Nasedo asked in
shock.
"How did I know? Awww come now, the question should be "How could I not
know?" Nasedo thought about it and nodded, for he was an elder after all.
"I hear you are going after the Fallen Angel, not the best of news I have
heard today."
"Yes, I plan to seek him out and destroy him," Nasedo could not hide the
excitement from his voice.
"So eager to die… What a pity, you could have become something… Ah well the
path is yours to choose, you must make your own decisions, when do you
leave?"
"Tonight, I plan to use a Scroll of Teleportation to reach the Plains of
Despair and seek him out there."
"Well then, I bid you Good Bye and Good Luck, but before you leave I have
one piece of advise."
"Yes?"
"If you find yourself nearly beaten, you should use his hatred against
him."
"Okay…" Nasedo nodded as if he understood as not to look bad in front of an
Elder.
"Farewell young Nasedo."
Nasedo bowed respectfully as he left the room. Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Nasedo, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
