Satan sighed "puny half-breeds always trying to change what has been the same since the begining of time. why do they think they can overule a god, one unlike themselves? its something i can not understand but would love to see again. its almost as if they were humans trying to get rid of me. now my wife," he looked at Ereshkigal "tell the half-breed that he is to meet with you in the hall with I and nowhere else"
The cold subsided by morning, and he stood, exiting the dank cave and heading for the summit. He knew if he could make it there, perhaps there would be a way to survive. Would his mentor be waiting? If he could make the climb, would it be all over, or would he be told to start over. Slowly, he made the climb. As he neared the top, he heard someone crying. 'This isn't right. There was no one crying on that mountain. There wasn't anyone there... I was alone the whole time...'
Shadow awoke suddenly, a gasp of air flowing into his lungs as the cold air struck at him, hitting harder than it had al those years ago. He took a quick look around, trying to figure out what had happened. Kaiisura was nearby, her back to him. "You saved me, then?"
Arriving near the battlefield, he could see that the fighting was not over. And then something caught his attention; despair. It came from the forest near him.
He entered not knowing exactly what he'd find. There were 2 people, one next to a tree, and they other one sucking what appeared to be his finger.
'' Excuse me, what has transpired here?'' Ezekiel asked.
Kaiisura turned to Shadow with tear stained eyes and only nodded, she looked at the new comer, "It's fine now..." she said softly. Her angelic glow was dimmed for she was weak from sucking the poison of of the demon. She felt she had done a noble thing for once in her life time and she sat there queitly.

Shadow shook his head, still weak. His vision remained blurred, and his headache would not subside, but he felt better, slightly.
"I don't remember much, honestly. Just that I was poisoned in a fight and headed for the mountain's peak... Which, by the way, I never made it to. Next thing I know, I'm waking up to this one crying."
He pointed at Kaiisura.
"Enough about that, though. I suppose there's no need for battle right now. Who might you be?" As he posed the question, he looked to Kaiisura, directing it more or less toward her.
Kaiisura looked at him, she started to stand up but almost fell. She tried to keep from falling and reached into a pouch on her side, she walked over to Shadow and gave him a vile, "This will help you with that nasty poison you have, I'm Kaiisura." she said as she dropped down next to him and sat there, "And you?" she asked.
As golden glow started shining arround Ezekiel, he could feel Metatron completely dissapearing in him. There was no more of him. Only standed Ezekiel, greater than he had ever been before.
''I am you, and her, and your comrads. I am what has been, what could be, what should be.''
Sitting next to the two of them, he added.
''Call me Ezekiel. And do not worry, I mean you no harm. But what are your names?''
As he said this, he touched each one with his fingers. Closing his eyes he consentrated. He could see their blood. He could see the poion flowing in them both. And he started to filter what he had come to see. Within a minute, no more poison remained in either of them, and with a shock from his fingers, regenerated their energy. It was not alot, Ezekiel just giving them the necessary to stand up and fly.

<<back, all.>>
He looked over at her as she handed him the vial, sitting next to him. "Shadow. Former commander of Hell's armies. I guess I'm discharged for saving you a while back."
He looked up at the other. "Ezekiel, then, is it? What brings you here, of all places?"
''You will learn in time. I trust you, or so I sense trust in you, and I shall explain you everything. But the time is wrong.''
Getting up, after curing the poison.
''Though you may not remember me, Sahdow, I remember you. You were beside Satan when I fought for Gean in the pit. It is allright, I have changed greatly since. You did not need to remember me. But there is one thing I must tell you, friends. You will not listen to me now, but maybe in time; do not walk into another battle.''
And so, Ezekiel turned and started walking in the oppositre direction.
Kaiisura hugged her knees to her chest, she listened to Shadow and Ezekiel. she had alot on her mind, the one person she never thought would betray her had betrayed her beyond repair. She felt like a worthless angel, betrayed by all. She wanted to get away from both angels and demons, she wanted to get away from this war.The more Kaiisura thought about it the more she felt that one of the angels must've killed Iofiel and not shagrath...
Shadow watched silently. He dared not say it, but he was weaker now than he had been before, and this Ezekiel had confused him a bit with that last speech. He tried piecing it together a bit, but then shook his head, figuring that if something important was to come of it, he would gather it in a moment. For now, he was interested in what else there was to be heard. His vision finally clearing, he turned his head a bit, trying to gather just how far he'd been before he'd passed out. Shamefully, it was no more than a few yards uphill...
With a smile, Ezekiel came back on its footsteps. Bending forwards, he placed his hands on her arm, and left a golden sphere where the hand touched.
'' There are no demons nor angels. There are us. There is one. Would you fight your mortal ennemy? Would you fight your loving father? What would happen if they were the same person? Which of these two states would prevail? Would you consider him to be your father, or your enemy strongest? Think of those as equal to that person. A perfect balance. And you would see that he wouldn't hurt you. Angels and demons would see they wouldn't hurt eachother anymore. When you have understood that meaning, tap on your circle and I shall be there.''
Ezekiel looked into Kaiisura's deep eyes and with a smile, etherelized himself in the ground.
He was now moving to the dark forest of Sicilia, where a very important meeting was about to take place.
Shadow watched as Ezekiel handed her something, unsure what he was saying, for it was in a tongue he had no knowledge of. As the man left and kaiisura apologized, he felt a certain emptiness he'd never acknowledged before. Was all the fighting worth it? What had come of it? His headache had subsided, but now another threatened to take its place.
"No. I don't think I will. Everyone... Should live their lives to the fullest. And you can't if someone kills you."
He stopped, wondering where the Hell this was coming from. Was it normal for a demon to be so empathic?
"Besides, I've grown rather accustomed to you."
Kaiisura listened to Shadow's words, the recently spoken words that came from Ezekiel repeated in her head. All she could hear now was the steady beating of her heart. 'Why do I still feel this way?' she wondered. She looked over at Shadow with wonder in her eyes. How could someone who had been her enemy make such a impact on her life? How could this demon have spared her and still be so kind to her? Shadow had spared her and been kind to her from the begining and she had never noticed until now. Without thinking Kaiisura pecked Shadow on the cheeck and jerked herself back. She brought her knees to her chest, 'what in the heaven just got to me?' she wondered. "Sorry..." she mumbled.
Shadow was unsure how to react. He smirked a bit, shaking his head. "No reason to be." Silence swept over him for a few minutes before he turned and returned her kiss. His mind racing, he was unsure what provoked him so; all he knew was that it was against everything he'd ever known, and he didn't care.
