Ch. 1 The Vision

"Dove!" a voice shouted. "Hurry up!" Dove had just gotten up and dressed when her best friend, Fey, yelled at her. "I'm coming, I'm coming." she muttered. This is not what she needed in the morning (I don't blame her). Fey was waiting for her outside of her room. She is so impatient, Dove thought. "About time," Fey said. "Sorry I couldn't sleep last night," Dove yawned. "Well, there's nothing I can do about it and thanks to you we're late to class." Fey said. They ran to the Temple of Paletuna as fast as they could. When they got there, class had already started and their teacher paused when she saw the two girls rush in and took their seats. "Why are you late?" she asked. "I got up late," Dove said, looking down. This was fourth time she was late to class. "Next time, try to be on time." her teacher said. Class resumed and the topic was about the war between Paletuna and Medusa and how Paletuna won, cursing Medusa before sending her to the Underworld. Since then, she was plotting to take over the Skyworld and capturing Paletuna. The mortals built and named the temple after her. Then the topic was about the Goddess of Light and her servants- the angels. This was Dove's favorite subject. The teacher then wrote a question on her huge tablet and asked a student to come up and write the answer. Dove raised her hand first and was called on. She began walking up and suddenly felt light headed and her vision began to blur and spin. She swayed a little and heard a bunch of people asking if she was alright. Then her buckled, causing her to collapse. Dove could barely hear the other students as darkness over came her.

Dove found herself standing on a cloud. "Where am I?" she wondered out loud. She looked around and saw what looked like dark figures, demons. Dove had a bad feeling about this. Then she took off running when the demons got closer and closer. As she was running, Dove noticed statues were everywhere. To her horror, the statues were angels. Then she heard someone calling for help. She followed the voice that led her to an injured angel. "Are you okay?" she asked it. The angel slowly turned its head. Dove's eyes widened when she saw that the angel looked like Fey, who said," Medusa has returned."

Meanwhile in the Skyworld, the angels were doing their every day things. Some running errands, some training for combat, and others were hanging out. There was one angel who was training extra hard. He was the captain of Paletuna's guard. His name was Pit and he was famous for flying too close to the sun, which was forbidden. Pit was smaller than most angels, but it didn't bother him. To him, he was like everyone else. He gets up early every morning and starts his training and doesn't stop unless someone makes him. Today, however, something was off. "Hey, ash feathers!" another angel called. "Are ya about done?" "Will you stop calling me that?" Pit asked, irritated. "And yes I'm done, Ban." The light blond, gray-eyed angel called Ban came over to him. "Of course not, besides its not like you were forced to fly that close to the sun." Pit glared at him. If he says that one more time… "Oh, before I forget, Paletuna wants to see you." Ban said. This was a surprise. "What for?" Pit asked. Ban shrugged. "I don't know. She didn't say." I wonder if it has something to do with Medusa, Pit thought as he and Ban headed to the palace. They climbed up the stairs to find the goddess waiting for them. The two angels bowed to her. "I've been waiting for you," the goddess said. "Sorry to have kept you waiting," Ban said. "It took a while to find your captain here." He motioned to Pit, who was glaring at him. "You knew where I was at." he grumbled. Paletuna looked at them with her gentle green eyes. "Pit, would you come inside with me please?" she asked. He followed her inside the beautiful palace. It had tall columns of gold and white. Paletuna led her favorite angel to her throne, which was in the middle of the main room. She sat down and sighed. Pit could tell something had bothered her for a while. "Medusa is plotting her revenge from our last battle," the goddess said. "I fear she'll be here very soon."
