Chapter 2: You ruined my plans
You ruined my plans
The couple that took the child earlier had long arrived at their home. Once they got home, they quickly gave her food to eat and this caused her unceasing cries to stop. Perhaps she was hungry.
They looked at her and saw how cute she was. "What a beautiful child. The gods have blessed me with a beautiful child" she said. "Don't rejoice too soon. Such children that are abandoned are harbingers of evil or why would a mother leave a child this young in the wilderness?" he asked. "Please! This cute girl is an herald of great fortune. She is our fortune" she said, refuting her husband's statement.
Her husband, William seem to not like this child very much. He believed such abandoned children were children seen by seers to bring great calamity. So they are dumped in wildernesses for beasts to feed on. He felt very bad with the baby in his presence, in their home. It was like disaster was staring right at him in the face.
I hope not!
"Well, if you say so Clara" he said. Then he stood up and left.
"What a cute girl you are. Look at your hairs, raven-black and long. See your intense hazel eyes, so charming. You are the happiness I have been searching for. Hmm... Although your mother may be missing. Perhaps something terrible happened to her which am so sorry for. But don't worry, I would be your mom and treat you like my blood daughter. I promise to take care of you and never leave you alone. So, what do I call you my sweet little daughter? Mmm..... Helena. Right" she said and smiled. She rubbed and pressed the girl's cheek affectionately.

"My Lord. The child was taken away, we don't know who did that and the treasure used to track her position has been taken too. The team we sent out were stopped by an incredibly powerful expert. I think this person that stopped them was the one who took the girl and the treasure. We would send out many of our men on the espionage program to many kingdoms to get information about people who just adopted children." someone kneeling with a leg and facing down spoke.
"Mmm... Who was the expert? Were you able to determine the gender of this expert?" A huge caped man sitting on a throne made purely of sapphire asked. "No my Lord" he replied.
"Alright. I think it can be no other than Eden. He is in this kingdom. He must be the one that stopped them. I thought I would give him more time to live before I come for his head but he just wished to die soonest" the massive man called with the title, Lord, said.
"Huh? The Banisher? He's still alive and he lives in this kingdom? Such boldness! There is no other person than him then. He is trying to ruin your plans, My Lord. He must be obliterated and the treasure retrieved from his corpse." the man said humbly. "Yes. That's what I must do myself or you all would be banished into the necropolis, even if you number in thousands. He is still the strongest from the Order of Greater Good when they were still in operation before they were destroyed by the alliance of brotherhoods. Send out your men to gather information about anyone in possession of a new female child. I would be back." the man's body turned blurry and vanished from his throne.

"Hey! Stop that. Why are you two fighting each other?" a young handsome man immediately stopped two girls who seemed six and seven fighting each other. "Father. I hate Lauren. She's always cheating me... ." before she could continue, the young man quickly interrupted and said in a strict tone. "Shut up! No matter what, never say you hate your sister. I don't want to hear that word hate in this house ever again"
A young woman came over with a smile and put a arm around the man's waist "Come on Eden. Your children are only playing." she said. "Selene, this children....." he trailed off here and looked up.
The atmosphere suddenly turned gloomy and a towering figure could be seen up there in the clouds. Eden's eyes widened.

He looked at his wife and told her to carry the children into the house and no under circumstances should she open the door.
"Lauren, Deborah. Come with me into the house. Rain's about to fall." Selene hurriedly said. "Okay. Mom." the two girls ran to her side and they went into the house.
The instant the door was banged shut. An abstruse symbol appeared on the door. Same with the ground. Large, indecipherable mystical symbols suddenly appeared on the earth surrounding the isolated house they lived in. Then a powerful force field appeared.
With a stomp, he launched himself into the air and flew to the clouds. "Lord Black Scorpion. How do you know I live here. You have been monitoring me?" he asked in anger. "No. you are only living in the kingdom my organization is based in. I left you and your family to enjoy the peace and calm for sometime before I came for your heads but you just wanted death so badly by provoking me into anger" Lord Black Scorpion said.
Eden's eyes widened in shock. So I have always lived around an enemy. "How exactly did I provoke you? I wouldn't meddle with anything that is from you. I have stopped being the heroic guy I was long time ago just to cater for my family. Now you are here blindly accusing me of what I didn't do. What did you say I did exactly?" Eden asked puzzledly. "You killed my men is what you did." Lord Black Scorpion said in a sinister tone. "And you took what belongs to me. No need to return it, I would retrieve it from your corpse". Eden became slightly fearful, fearful as he imagined the future of his children. "I don't know anything about this. I swear. I wasn't involved in anything that is an element for the success of your orchestration" Eden quickly said in a swear tone.
He didn't want to fight and hoped Lord Black Scorpion would spare him this time. It was a false hope he knew, but anything was possible.
"Hmm.... Okay, but since I have come here, I cannot go back empty handed. I will kill you instead and take your head back to my base as a trophy and then your children and wife would service my cock and my men's cock every hour. Haha!! What a pleasure that would be then" Lord Black Dragon said and laughed in an unbridled manner.
Eden's eyes shone with fury. "Let's get it on then." he said.
"The power in the Thaleendra cosmos, permeate me with your transformational power, cause my angel-form to appear. The Twelve-winged Dark-Warrior Angel form, manifest!" he uttered a transformation spell indigenous to only the tribe he came from; The Dark Seraphim tribe. Twelve wings was the highest level of power any of them from the tribe could obtain. Only he from the tribe was able to obtain it, making him exceptional.
The instant he mentioned that, his skin turned jet-black and he became many inches taller. Six pairs of massive pitch-black wings sprouted from his entire back. The edges of the wings were as sharp as blades and had dark purple electricity arcing around each of them.
The pupils in his eyes turned three while his eyes shone with intense indigo. Dark black, thick armor-scales that shone with metallic lustrousness appeared all over his ink-black skin.
Then he quickly uttered a tribe weapon-summon chant.
"Golden Sword of the Heaven Warring tribe, the Heaven-Ceasing sword. Surface!"
Eden was actually half-dark seraphim and half-heaven warring. The weapon he was trying to summon was a sentient weapon that resided in a realm only people from the heaven-warring tribe could get access to.
Then a large pool of light surfaced in front of him and when the light receded, a weapon could be seen.
It was a majestic sword that gave off a blinding golden glow and emanated a pressure that could seemingly crush the sky and the earth.
It was large in size; the blade was nine feet long and six feet wide. It seemed like the king of all swords as it produced an intense purple-black aura that caused the air around it and for many feet to violently roil. Then terrifying rampant peals of thunder could be heard as dark violet lightning ragingly struck about within the dual-colored aura that endlessly exuded from the sword.
