《Soul Of The Fallen》


 Chapter 1 - Prologue 1

    "So the time of my death has come at last"


    On top of a small mountain top, four figures stood around one lone figure in the middle as he kneeled down they circled around him slowly as they eyed him with anger and hate, in their hands where bloody weapons that have surely took many lives as they were bloody.


    "Why Uriel, why have you betrayed us your brothers your gods and joined the devils and their foul spawns of darkness?" one of the figures stood out from the rest as he had four beautifulgolden wings on his back.


    "Ah, Nephiryou were always the gods favorite, always their little lapdog running at every command they give you, well I simply didn''twant to be one of their lapdogs see it''s simply reallyhahaha" Uriel eyed Nephir with disgust in his eyes.


    "Uriel you mean to tell me you did all this, all this destruction and death just because you did not want to follow the god''s orders you one of the Celestial generals!" Nephir''syell shook the air around him as he trembled with rage.


    "Well yes, that sumsit up quite nicely" Uriel showed a mocking smile to Nephir.


    "Archangel please let us end this traitor right now!" one of Nephir''sguards yelled out as he drew closer to Uriel''s head with his spear.


    "No, death would be mercy to him, we shall take him to the gods they will know what to do with him as his crimes are many" Nephirspoke as he turned around and glanced at Uriel one last time his eyes were filled with sorrow.


    Uriel was Nephir''sfriend he knew him ever since the gods created them, they were like brothers Nephirknew that Uriel was different from him and other angels that served the gods as their guardians and warriors but he could never imagine that he would side with the devils and demons.


    "Commonstand up you traitor!" the three guards pointed their spears at Uriel who slowly stood up, just as he did what they asked of him he grabbed one of the spears and pulled the guard holding it with swift movementshe knocked out the guard and took his spear.This story has been unlawfully obtained without the author''s consent.

    "Kill him!" one of the remaining guards yelled as he charged at Uriel, but Uriel just evaded the guard''s attack and grabbedhim by his throat "So weak" Uriel spoke slowly into the guard''s ear as a popping sound was heard he broke his neck with ease.


    Uriel turned towards the last guard "what''s wrong the traitor''s right here come take me to the gods you love so much"


    "N..no stay away from me you monster!" the last guard threw his spear on the ground and started fleeing for his life.


    "Oh don''tbe like that here take your spear with you!" Uriel had an evil smile all acrosshis face as he threw the spear and pierced the angel through his chest.


    "That felt good" Uriel looked around and finally spotted the one he was looking for it was Nephir that was watching the whole thing up from the sky.


    "Nephir let''s end this!" two red wings grew from Uriel''s back he flew towards Nephir with a spear in his hands.


    Nephir just stood there and with a sad look he shook his head he closed his eyes and pointed his hand towards Uriel, blinding light erupted from his hand.


    "May the gods forgive you, my friend!" Uriel yelled as the light slowly made its way towards Uriel and crashed into him, white and red lights struggled against each other but the red light was slowly lossing.


    "Well....Nephir strong as always I see hehe" Uriel''s body was slowly being eaten away by the white light.


    "Goodbye old friend" Nephir whispered as he watched Uriel disappear.


    "Not....Yet" suddenly a dark and cold voice spoke, a dark hole opened behind Uriel and sucked whatever was left of him inside.


    "What was that!?" Nephir looked around, he was nervous he has never felt such a dark and cold presence as he did right now.


    "I need to report this" he turned around and flew with all haste.


    Uriel slowly opened his eyes and looked around but everywhere he could see there was only darkness nothing else, he looked at his body that was missing half his body.


    "Where am I?" he spoke weakly but he did not get the answer to his question for a long time, he just drifted there unable to sleep or do anything just watch the endless darkness around him.


    "It is time to begin your new life, my child, go gather strength and return to your old world more powerful than ever and free me" the cold voice returned again and spoke, but before Uriel could say anything white light enveloped him.


    When he opened his eyes he saw two giants both were women''s, one was old and had a short white hair and the other was beautiful with fiery red hair, Uriel thought he was back in Celestial realm when he saw the young woman''s beauty.


    But he threw that idea away when the two women started talking.


    "She is such a beautiful girl my lady what shall you name her?" the older one asked.


    The younger woman caressed Uriel''s face as she smiled "Her name will be Riel".


    "Riel, baby? Don''t tell me....I was sent to mortal''s world".


    An: Short Prologue hope you enjoy.

 Chapter 2 - Prologue 2

    I looked at the young woman that caressed my face, or should I rather say the face of this vessel I am currently possessing, I can''t believe that entity threw my very soul into a different world and what was all that about saving it or something, the damned thing didn''t tell me anything just a bunch of nonsense that I don''t understand, but I am gratefulif not for that thing Nephir''s power would have erased me completely.


    "It''s strange that little Riel is not crying like all the newborns but look my ladyshe is smiling so happilywhen you caressher face like that!" I was snapped back to realityby the old woman.


    "She is a bright child, she is after all my little girl" the red haired woman who I presume is the mother of the vessel smiled, I got a better look at her after she raised me closer to her face, her eyes were just as red as her fiery red hair, her face looked exhaustedand pale but that didn''tdamage her beauty in the least I can''t really determine her height because she is sitting on the bed but I would assume she would be around 170cm or so.


    "Renna! Where are you, Renna!" I heard loud footsteps and yelling behind the closed wooden door, they flung open with great force and a big man around 190cm tall walked in, he wore rather nice clothes for a human his face was covered in beard but it was well kept, black hair and a deep scar over his left eye.


    "Renna!" he rushed over to the bed where Renna the mother of this vessel was.


    "Oh shut up you big oaf you will disturblittle Riel!" she snapped back at him.


    "Is...that''smy little girl" the so-calledbig oaf looked at me with wide open eyes, he smiled like an idiot and tried to take me into his arms, I didn''t really want to be carried around too much as I am new to this so I used the greatest weapon I had right now, I started crying.


    "Wh....whats wrong! Don''tbe scared! It''s papa" he started to panic, hmph serves you right.


    "Sigurd! Step away you are scaring her with your rough looking face!" the mother of the vessel yelled at what I presume is the father so-called Sigurd, he stepped back with a sad look on his face and no I am not afraid of his face.Stolen novel; please report.


    "Hush, hush little Riel mommyis here don''t be afraid anymore" she cradled me in her arms, ugh this is a little too much, but somehow this makes me feel strange I don''t know how to describe it but its been a long time since I felt like this.


    I turned around and saw the older woman talking to somebody near the door, she smiled at someone and urged that person to come in with her hands, finally after some convincing two little children walked in a boy and a girl they both looked like they were around 6 or 7 years old.


    "Freya, Adaltecome and greet your little sister Riel" the boy Adaltehad black hair just like Sigurd and he looked like his younger version minus the beard, Freya had fiery red hair just like her mother Renna but she also resembledher father she looked rather rough for a 6 or 7-year-old.


    They both came closer to the bed and looked timidly at me that was being cradled in Renna''s arms.


    "Go on touch her she won''t bite you" Renna smiled at the two nervous kids, they slowly extended their arms as I was some fragile expensive looking thing, they finally touched my little hand, I grabbed the Freya''s finger with one of my hands and Adalte''s finger with the other hand.


    They were both surprised but soon they were all full of smiles and laughter, I don''t understand mortals I just wanted them to stop touching me, if I had my powers I wouldn''t be in this mess.


    "sigh" I should be lucky I get a second chance even.


    "Did she just sigh?" Sigurd looked at me with confused eyes, damn did I just give myself up?


    "Don''t be silly you oaf, she is just scared of you, remember Adalte he cried for three days when you came to see him!"


    "M....mother stop its embarrassing!" Adalte blushed and screamed at Renna.


    "The next head of the clan cried when he saw his own papa, sigh we are doomed" Freya shook her head and teased Adalte.


    "Freya!" Adalte yelled at her and started chasing her outside the room.


    "Be careful you two!" Renna yelled at the kids that went running outside the room with full speed, I can see how troublesome children must be.


    "Okay Renna I will leave you two to rest I have to get back, those damned elders will kill each other if I''m not around to stop the fools" Sigurd bent down towards Renna and me, he kissed Renna and then my forehead yuck.


    "Okay honey be careful" she smiled at him sweetly, after the doors got closed came something that scared me for the rest of my mortal life.


    "Okay then are you hungry?" huh? Why is she taking her clothes off? Wait don''t! No! Don''t you dare you mortal woman! Nooooo!

 Chapter 3 - Life So Far

    "Riel put some strengthinto your swings!" Freya yelled at me from a safe distance if she were closer this wooden sword would have been thrown right into her face, I mean why do I have to do something this tiresome I was one of the ten celestial generals I had my own legion that followed my every word, though it was destroyed by the other legions, but still it''s not fair that I have to swing this stupid wooden sword in deep snow I''m freezing over here!


    "Sigh" "yes-yes" I sighed and respondedto Freya that had a smug look on her face, damn her she enjoys toying with me she is a sadist for sure no doubt about it.


    "Riel you thought something bad about me didn''tyou!" she yelled as her smug face disappeared and what replaced it was a creepy smile that moved towards me with an amazing speed.


    "Crap!" I threw my wooden sword at her with some faint hope that it would distract her, but alas like every other day my attempt of running away from this sadist of a sister ends in a failure.


    She tackles me and we roll down in the snow, I try to separatefrom her so I could run for my life but she envelops me with her arms and holds me with all of her strength,I tried to get out of her grip but seriouslypeople in this world have far too much strength,what are you demons!?


    "Hahaha, Riel you can''t escape from your big sis you know!" ah to think that little child from ten years ago would become such a brute and toy around with her little sister like this, sigh, humans I just don''tget them.


    "Yes-yes you win now let me go" I relax my body in defeat there is no point in fighting her when she is bigger and strongerthat this damned body of mine, I did grow in these ten years but so did she, Freya''s red hair was still short it reached just to her shoulders, but her body was becoming that of an adult her figure changed she was becoming more femininebut still due to the nature of this place I was reborn or should I say this body was born even women had to know how to fight.


    In these ten years that I have been possessingthis body I learned many things about this world where that damned entity hadthrown me, don''tget me wrong I am grateful for saving my nearly destroyed soul but he threw me here without explaining anything.


    This world is called Aldirar, I don''tremember where this world is located, but hey who can manage to remember all the worlds that are under the gaze of the gods, well maybe the gods themselves but who cares anyway.


    I learned that this world is massive very massive, I learned from the books that Renna read me that Aldirar is divided into many kingdoms and empires and let''s not forget variousraces that inhabit Aldirar.


    "No if I let you go you will just run away from your big sis, I don''t want that!" Freya held onto me even tighter, she had a smug look on her face.


    Damn it why do even women have to be stronger than me, I wish I had my old strengthto incinerate all that stood against me, well I don''tthink I would harm the humans that live here, so far they have been acceptable they are rather nice for mortals.


    "Hey Freya enough of fooling around father is back!" someone yelled at Freya and she immediately loosened her grip on me, I looked at the person that was slowly approaching towards us it was Freya''s and this bodies brother Adalte.


    He wore a half iron half leather armour, he grew up to be similar to Sigurd his face was really masculine, even some beard has started to grow on his face, he is covered in that armour right now but I had a chance to see him without it and I can say he has become a fine warrior for a mortal that is.


    "Damn, now I have to let Riel go damn it can''t you guys wait!" she was pissed for having to let go of me, heh serves you right you demon.


    "Now Freya and you Riel come as well father wants us all to participate he has called a meeting of the clans!" Freya immediately let me go and her playful face turned all serious.


    "Let go Riel" she extended her hand to me so I could get up, well lets have a little payback I just ignored her and stood up without her help, she gasped at me like a ghost, heh serves you right, I know how much she loves me-this vessel so sometimes I just get her back in my own way.


    The three of us walked towards the biggest building in this little city of ours, I looked around the city and it never seizes to amaze me the city is covered by mountains on all sides, there was only one entrance and exit in the city the main gate that lead outside this natural fortress, though I am saddened that the walls that surround the city are made out of wood and not stone or some other sturdier material, back in Celestial kingdom the walls on the cities where made out of god stone, now that''s something sturdy I can tell you that when I joined up with the devils and the gang I had a hell of a time breaking those, ah the good old times.


    While I was daydreaming about the old days whe arrived at the clan head''s house meaning my fathers, the big wooden door that had two black bears carved in it facing each other were opened for us by two guards that were armed with spears and wooden shields with the same two black bears on them, that was the sigil of our clan "Clan Darlum".


    We entered the hall of the great building, there was a great commotion inside many voices yelled and cursed at each other, "sigh" it''s always like this when all the clan heads gather together they can''t get anything done sometimes they are really close to killing each other on the spot.This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon.


    "SILENCE!" a loud bang silenced the stupid bickering old idiots, and the one who silenced them was none other than mine this bodies father Sigurd, he was sitting down on a wooden throne that had many animals carved into it, besides him was Renna on a smaller throne but none less important, Sigurd and her didn''t change that much in these past ten years they got a little older and Sigurd has a few gray hair here and there but nothing much changed with their appearances.


    "Lord Sigurd we have to ride out and meet those imperial bastards on the field, we have the advantage on our land let our warriors buthcer those bastards!" one of the clan heads stood up and yelled, he was an old bald man, the armour he was wearing had a two headed eagle on it, he was the head of clan Gelim.


    "That''s right Thorvud is right to let us fight, we are bound to you by our oath Sigurd but we can''t let those invaders wreak havoc across our land, even as we speak they march forwards nad pillage and destroy all in their way we have to fight!" another one of the clan heads stood up and supported Thorvud head of Gelim.


    The middle-aged head that supported Thorvud was Regin, his sigil was a strange snake, many more heads stood up and supported Thorvud and Gelim that wanted to meet the invaders that trespassed into their lands.


    "Sigh" Sigurd held his forehead he must be having a massive headache right now, I learned that this land where I was born to doesnt have a king that rules over all others but various clans that have split the land amongst themselves.


    But they do have something like a king and that''s Sigurd, but the time he gets to act like a king is when a great danger approaches and it threatens all the clans within the land.


    When this happens the so called king calls all the clans together to join, they have to set aside their personal differences and fight like one in order to prevent getting wiped off a map, the clans have sworn an oath to answer when they are called to unite those who do not answer will be branded as traitors and enemies of all the other clans.


    Thorvud mentioned the empire bastards? The only close empire that is to us is Worlum empire, but I don''t understand why they would have and interest in this god''s forsaken frozen wasteland, and yes I used the G word.


    "Sigh" "we are outnumbered from what the scouts report the force that has invaded our lands is 20.000 strong, we only have little more than half that much but as you all think we should ride out and face them so shall it be, all the clan heads are to return to their domain and gather their warriors we set out to meet the imperial bastards in 6 days!" Sigurd yelled as he gave his orders to the clan heads.


    "Ouhhh!!!" the bunch of people raised their voices as they stormed out of the hall, very soon the only people that were left in the hall were me, Freya, Adalte, Renna, Sigurd and some servants that ran here and there.


    "Father" Adalte walked closer to Sigurd that was still sitting on his wooden throne, he was massaging his temples, anyone could see he was against facing the empire head on, but he didn''t have a choice the clan heads are hotheaded bunch that loved to fight and where is better to fight than in a big battle.


    "Adalte, Freya you will remain here in Tul, something about this doesn''t feel right I will leave 1 garrison at your disposal" Sigurd''s gaze turned serious as he stood up and walked towards the three of us.


    "Yes father!" both Adalte and Freya said in unison, Sigurd just nodded to them he came closer to me his gaze fell down on me and with swift movements, he picked me up in his arms.


    Damn it I was careless, I hate when he does that, seriously what the hell is wrong with these mortals!


    "Hehe finally got you little rascal, you always run away whenever I try to hold you but it seems today you are a little rusty hehe" Sigurd had a stupid smile on his face, I wanted to punch him, but I guess it''s ok only for today ill hold it in even if the rest of the idiots are laughing their heads off.


    I turned my head around and looked at one of the mirrors in the hall and looked at my reflection, the frail looking thin arms and legs of mine, straight long fiery red hair down to my waist, the muscle on my body have started to develop from all those training exercises Freya and the others make me do but still have might have I fallen.


    The evening came fast, Sigurd said his goodbyes to us all he kissed Renna and the others when he tried to do the same to me I ran away like hell, I don''t get it are these mortals trying to kill me I can still remember the torture from 10 years ago, when Renna was choking me with that....thing for a whole year, still gives me the shivers.


    I laid down on my bed and slowly closed my eyes, this is so annoying this sleep the mortals need, I complained in my head but my mind was slowly drifting away into the dream world.


    "Finally...your body...has matured" I opened my eyes in shock only to find myself back into the darkness that consumed me before, did I die again? Such questions popped into my head over and over.


    "Dead you are not" the cold voice spoke to me from the darkness, I searched for the source of the voice but no matter how hard I searched the owner could not be found.


    "Who are you?" I asked the voice and I think it''s about damned time I got some answers.


    "Doesn''t matter, you will learn soon enough, for now, I have a gift for you oh angel that fell and rebelled against the fake gods!" the cold voice kept on talking and talking without answering my question so annoying these entities but could he be a god?


    "Well, time to wake up little fallen one" the voice started to fade.


    "Wait! Wait damn you answer my question!" I yelled angerly but the voice just faded without telling me anything.


    "Auhh!" I woke up to an unbelievable amount of pain, my body was burning from the inside like a thousand swords were slicing my body from the inside, my left eye started to bleed slightly, I opened my mouth to scream but no voice came out I could feel something taking over part of my body something I never felt before it was dark and could like the voice of that entity.


    "huff" "huff" after some time of unbelievable pain that was on a pair to Nephir''s finally attack that slowly burned by soul away, I stood up from by bed I looked outside and it was already morning, seems I have been at it the whole night, damn that entity.


    With shaky steps I walked towards the mirror in the room I gasped at the sight it showed me.


    "What the hell did it do to me?" I looked at the 11year old body of mine that had some changes overnight, for starters my left eye that still had a thick trail of blood down my cheek was completely black nothing but complete darkness and yet I could see, next was the left side of my hair that similarly changed color into black.


    "Again what the hell did it do to me!?" I have never seen this before not even back when I served those fools of a gods, I noticed something strange in my arm, when I looked closer it looked like a tail, I removed my clothes and looked at my left arm the whole arm had a black dragon tattoo on it, the dragon had strange red eyes and I could swear it was looking at me.


    "Just what the hell is that thing!?" this is the first time something confused me this much in all of my existence.
