Chapter 2: The Crimson Cascade

 

Flying for only the past two months had never grown boring for Renesis, on the other hand Mathias had been flying for six months so it was a little less exciting for him. They had just passed the half way mark and dusk would be coming soon, as they flew with the sun at there backs the light illuminating them as the flew passing over farms and small villages, some owned by humans and others by fellow Seraphs.

 

“Hey Mathias,” Renesis said

 

“Yea,” Mathias said cocking his head to look at Renesis.

 

“Do you ever have doubts about why we are fighting? I mean I have no problem killing soldiers, in fact fighting gives me a rush, and I like it. My problem is just in having to kill civilians. I hate killing defenseless people.” Renesis said not wanting to look at his friends face

 

“Listen Renesis, you have to think of it as simply following orders, besides they are the banished you should not care so much about them,” Mathias said a little concerned at the way his friend was talking

 

“It's just they have Black wings and are seen as a lesser breed of seraph, most of our people have some form of white wings, but I have red wings…. where does that leave me?” Renesis said fearing Mathias reaction

 

“Your Grandfather was a decorated soldier in the previous wars, and you are his grandson, simply put you may be different, but lineage shows you are on of us.” Mathias said trying to act a little sympathetic

 

“I guess, but back to my main question do you ever have doubts when killing civilians?” Renesis said looking at his palms remembering the past slaughter.

 

“Renesis just stop ok, you know this is a job and a dangerous one at that. I may not agree with the Sergeant on a lot of things, but he is right! There can be no sympathy on the battlefield. So please stop talking like this, my God you are a Seraph Warrior not some child anymore,” Mathias said his voice strained as he tried to stay calm at his friends doubtful attitude.

 

“Sorry Mathis I shouldn't have mentioned it?” Renesis said, a little disappointed at Mathias reaction

 

“Once we hit the three quarter point in a few hours we will rest for an hour, then get back to flying so we can make it by midnight to Tanis.” Mathias said wanting to change the conversation

 

The Mathias I know never acted this way, I wonder what's up with him, Renesis thought to himself

 

The next hours were spent flying in silence neither wanting to be the one who breaks the tension, the night had already cast them into darkness and Mathias had barely seem the break point, they landed silently and quickly found some old logs sitting around to sit on. As they sat neither spoke just let the silence envelope them and calm their nerves.

 

“Mathias” Renesis said realizing something was not right .

 

“I know, stay quiet we are surrounded” Mathias said trying to count the number of threats now encircled around them

 

“What should we do?” Renesis said his hand grasping the hilt of his sword

 

“Get ready.” Mathias said grasping the hilt of his own weapon “Who are you?” Mathias shouted into the woods

 

“We are 7th Squad, who are you?” A well-muscled man said stepping out into the small clearing

 

“Seventh Squad, 7th Squad of who” Mathias said unsure what 7th squad this was.

 

“Castle Ineous, and you two look to be Eden Soldiers,” The man said as fully emerged from the shadows his long black wings saying everything Mathias and Renesis had suspected

 

“Renesis get ready” Mathias said drawing his sword

 

It was fast as expected eight black wings erupted all around the two, their swords and spears glinting in the moonlight. Renesis and Mathias stood together ready for the fight. The first soldier a muscled man carrying a sharp spear thrust it towards Renesis's chest, Renesis countered and quickly sidestepped before thrusting his sword deep into the mans stomach. Mathias desperately battled against two opponents as the rest of the Ineous group waited for an opening too attack. As quickly as Renesis had disemboweled the one soldier another came to replace him, from his side he did not have time to dodge as the opponents sword slam into his shoulder, Renesis's armor prevented the loss of his arm, but the pain was immense he fell to his knees gripping his bleeding shoulder. As the man lifted his sword to finish Renesis off, a sword suddenly emerged from the mans chest. The man fell forward showing Mathias, is sword covered in Renesis's attackers blood return to parry the blade of yet another enemy. Renesis stood quickly using an upward slash to cut apart an advancing enemy. Another man quickly rushed in to replace his mutilated comrade, a precise block by Renesis met this, the man kicked out connecting with Renesis's chest knocking him back into a tree. Dazed Renesis picked himself off the ground his shoulder and back badly aching from the damage they had received. Renesis's eyes glowed red an animalistic grin spread across his lips, suddenly a sound like thunder echoed shaking the tree's the man approaching Renesis suddenly fell apart his blood literally exploding out from the many cuts. The remaining assailants and Mathias turned to look as a red-eyed Renesis took out another enemy without the man even having time to lift his sword to attempt a block. Like the previous this man erupted in a cascade of blood. Mathias disemboweled his opponent finishing him off then turned to the leader of Squad 7. It was fast even with Mathias looking at the Leader he barely caught a glimpse as Renesis rushed the man, the man held his sword defensively not having a chance to see where the attack would come from. Renesis struck head-on, the man's sword being cut through by the shear force of Renesis's swing. As the man was cut in half Renesis caught a glimpse of the man's mind through their swords, this man was looking for his princess. And then the blood erupted out the leaders back following the exit of Renesis's sword.

 

“Renesis what was that?” Mathias asked shocked at his friend's technique and strength.

 

“I tapped into myself, my Grandfather had helped me unlock it before I got my wings and became a soldier, but since I got my wings I could not use it till today. I do not know why,” Renesis said cleaning the blood off his sword and rubbing his lightly bleeding shoulder.

 

“We should go they may not have been alone, we left a lot of blood in the open if they smell it we may get into a fight we cannot win.” Mathias said looking at the carnage of the battle especially the mutilated corpses of Renesis's opponents. What had his friend become?

 

“Lets go, by the way Mathias please keep this to yourself, but this man was searching for something. No not something someone his Princess. I felt it when I broke his sword,” Renesis said shaking the blood off his wings.

 

Mathias worried about this news, but kept quiet as they took off quickly putting the scene of the fight behind them. Soon they would reach Tanis and be safe. They flew again in uneasy silence, going over the battle in their heads.

 

“O God no please stop! STOP IT leave her alone,” Renesis began screaming as his wings crumpled and he fell thru the treetops.

 

“RENESIS!” Mathias screamed diving into the trees after his friend.

 

Renesis had landed in a pile of dirt and as Mathias reached him he could see multiple cuts and scratches bleeding lightly as his friend lay there unmoving.

 

“Renesis come on get up, RENESIS get up!” Mathis called shaking the red haired angel

 

Mathias turned around quickly seeing a cloaked figure step out from behind a tree. Mathias pulled out his sword ready to protect Renesis from this threat.

 

“Shit if only we were a little farther,” Mathias said knowing they were but a half hour of flying from Tanis.

 

 

 

Cliff Hanger LOL. Who is this cloaked stranger is it friend or foe? Why did Renesis suddenly collapse? And will Renesis get back up? Next chapter reveals these and more hope you find this chapter good. I tried to write the battle scene as best I could if you have any tips send them cause there will be more battle scenes in the future thanks as always and hope you liked it.
