Look! I have the sequel right here! :3

Though some of you are probably still mad at me, that's fine. I'll win you over. ;) As Barney Stinson would say, "CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"

Discliamer, I own nothing!

Atem's Starlit Seraph

Prologue

Anzu remembered an explosion and then something piercing her chest. It wasn't painful, just . . . numbing. She then started to drift downward, like something was sucking her down to the ground. Was she leaving her body? Atem had made her immortal, so why had she been killed?

Poison.

That's right! Atem had mentioned that the only thing that could kill angels and immortals was a poison.

Suddenly, just as quickly as she was in darkness, she was surrounded in light. She could see it through her eyelids. Her eyes flickered open. It was blinding at first, but after a few rapid blinks she could see what was around her.

She was in a room of gold, marble, and diamonds. The breathtaking chandelier was made of gold and diamonds, the light bouncing off the gems was lighting up the room even more, and they were all real!

How?

With each diamond she looked into, it distorted the image of the marble wall or the gold inlay. The room looked fit for gods to sleep in. Four marble and gold columns in each of the four corners of the room for decoration. Every little detail was perfect, but what really caught Anzu's attention was the starry sky on her ceiling.

Anzu blinked and looked around the room before her gaze snapped back to a mirror. Anzu wasn't Anzu. The woman sitting on the bed had long black hair and eyes that was a mixture of silver and gold. They twinkled and glowed like the stars did. But what caught her eye was not the new image, but the six wings on her back . . . and she was naked.

One pair of wings covered her breasts and another pair covered her lower half thankfully. The biggest wings stole her breath. They were black, all six of her wings, but the biggest two, the ones she obviously flew with, seemed to mirror the starry sky like her ceiling. Galaxies, stars, stars dieing, and being born, all in those wings.

Anzu got up and walked toward the mirror with a smooth grace that scared her. Reaching out, she touched the glass. "So . . . I am Anzu, but at the same time, I am not?" she spoke softly.

There was a knock at the door, making her jump. "Yes?"

"It is me," an unfamiliar voice called out. "Open up, Estelle!" Anzu froze at the name. She knew that name. Since she had no idea who 'me' was, she decided to tease.

"Enlighten me, who is it?" she called through the door. There was an annoyed snort from the other side before the unknown female answered.

"It is I, Celina." Seraph of the Moon. Her future, far future, mother. Anzu opened the door to see a very pale seraph that was just as naked as she was. Celina's wings were black, like Anzu's, but her wings were not decorated with glittering points of light. On each wing was a round disk that mirrored the moon's color and texture. Her eyes were pale silver like her hair. She pouted. "T'was that really necessary?"

Anzu winked. "I was just teasing you, Celina."

The seraph pouted a while longer before a huge grin broke over her face. "He finally asked!"

"Who?"

Celina huffed. "Sol did! He asked if I would be his other wing!" Anzu blinked as the seraph practically jumped up and down. She had a feeling that 'being his other wing' was the same thing as saying marriage.

Anzu smiled and gave the Seraph a hug. "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you."

Celina looked ready to burst. "Thank you. Goodness, I was so afraid he would ask you." She sighed. "But the sun and the moon should always be there for each other. Besides," she paused and gave Anzu a teasing smile. "You might as well be his mother since the sun is practically a star."

Anzu blanched. "Yeah . . ."

Celina laughed. "I am teasing, teasing." She assured. "Come, our Lord will do the ceremony today. I want you to be a witness to it all." Celina grabbed Anzu's hand and pulled, but when she refused to move at first, the Moon Seraph looked back. "I should also mention that Aalok will be there as well."

Anzu shuffled her feet and looked away. She didn't know who this Aalok was but she sure as hell wasn't going to have any feelings toward him. Not after she promised Atem she was his. Celina stopped and finally understood. "You do not like him anymore?"

"I . . ." Anzu didn't know what to say, literally.

"What has changed, my friend?"

"I . . . I had a dream."

"Another one?" Celina blinked.

So, dreams were normal for Estelle. "I finally met him, Celina. I found my other wing."

The seraph's jaw dropped. "Tell me, tell me, tell me!" she whispered.

"He made me happy . . ." Anzu blushed. "And I made him happy." Celina looked ready to pop.

"So . . . which one of the seraphs?"

Anzu blushed and glared. "It's private!"

Celina laughed, understanding what probably went down in the dream. "I bet he made you happy, oh, but you also say that you too, made him happy. My oh my, I cannot wait until you reveal him to use all. Everyone wants to know who will entrap the Star Seraph."

Anzu went with Celina this time. Yes, everyone wants to know who would entrap her, the real question was, who wanted to?

This is just the beginning. This will go into detail about Anzu's past life but we will be hopping between Anzu and Atem. Maybe in this story I won't leave you off like I once did. *evil grin*

Have a nice day or night!
