The King of Spades: Dream Or Reality
Part 2: Revelation
"I" The man threw his coat to the ground, revealing great arches of wings; a
characteristic of angels from the Devic Kingdom.
"Am Aryel… The Lion of God."
Later
She unlocked her apartment door and stepped into her place. "Welcome to my
humble abode, lord." Krome - As Aryel calls himself in his earthly guise - looked at
her puzzled. Nur: "Just joking. You guys should develop your sense of humor, it's
been how long? A dozen millennia since humans developed theirs?" She stared at
him, then rolled her eyes. "Never mind."
"You act as if you were never one of us, Tetra." Krome said, expressing neither
concern nor sadness. It was as if this man didn't know what emotions were.
"Nur. DOCTOR, if you please. As long as you're on Earth, call me by my earthen
name." "How appropriate. Arabic for ‘light’. Pretty common with fallen angels, eh?"
Krome said. Nur gave him a piercing look, as if trying to figure out what the hell he
meant, then just brushed the thought away.
"So to what do I owe this social visit? Last time I saw one of you guys was when my
twin brother and I were kicked out of the Devic Kingdom for teaching humans about
magic." She said.
"You were told that humans weren't responsible enough..." Krome explained, as if
she didn't know. Nur: "So I've learned the hard way... Magic was supposed to be a
divine gift for Mankind to appreciate. Instead, they worshipped it. They couldn't
grasp the concept that God's Will powered Magic." Nur said angrily.
"So you were punished." Krome finished Nur's sentence.
She looked outside the window and watched an old woman walk by with a cane. "A
punishment like no other. To live amongst humans. God's creatures whom my
brother and I once loved so much that we risked God's anger for. Now I loathe them
so." As she looked at the old woman trying to cross the street, a tear formed in her
eye. The old woman looked both ways fearfully and hesitated to cross. A little boy
came along, took hold of her hand and helped her to the other side. "...Just as much
as I still love them." She concluded. Krome smiled, for the first time in a very long
time. "But I miss home." Tetra continued... "Every time I turn off the lights when I
go to bed, I try to remember how... Perfect, it felt when I got close to His Light, and
cuddled in the emanating warmth." Krome sighed: "I wish I could've been the one to
give you the glad tidings that you were coming home. But that's not what I came
for."
Nur wiped her tears.
"So... How's your research? You've found something new, have you not?" Krome
asked. "You're talking about the final fall of Babylon , aren't you." Tetra said as she
walked away from the window. "None other." Krome said.
