The Pure One -✔- Book Two of the Phoenix Trilogy

Chapter 37 🔥 The Angelicum

"Please Pearl. Can't you think of something to help them?" Venus pleaded for the nth time while wailing like a banshee.

Agnus and Rufus were both trying to get as close as they could to the two women who were wriggling in pain on the sand while Aldrik was keeping a close eye on Venus to prevent her from doing anything crazy and stupid.

"Venuscha, shut up. I can't come up with something as long as you keep on nagging at me." Pearl was annoyed yet a look of despair and concern could be seen in her eyes.

"Amelia, Princess!" The shout that came from Rufus halted all their conversation. They watched in horror when the two women started convulsing violently. The light of the Amulet in their clasps started to fluctuate in rapid intervals.

"I can't take this any longer." Vee announced, rushing hastily towards her two friends. Aldrik was caught off-guard that he wasn't able to grab and stop Venus.

The action was so abrupt that none of her companions were able to act to stop her on time. All they were able to do was to gape at her in trepidation as she dived and wrapped her hands around the hands of Amelia and Daphne that were clutching the Amulet. The deed itself took their breaths away for a moment. As soon as the contact was made, the light glowed very brightly. So blindingly bright that they all had to cover their eyes for protection including Pearl. It lasted for about five minutes then it dulled into a fluorescent-like light.

By the time that they slowly opened their eyes to adjust their vision from the black spots it created, they heard someone hollered, "Venuscha!"

"H-hadraniel? What are you doing here?" Pearl was stuttering like a preschooler while looking directly at the newcomer.

"Whoa! H-he's an Angelicum." Agnus gushed. His eyes were shining in adoration towards the larger than life being who was standing a few feet away from them.

Hadraniel was clothed like an ordinary human, very casual actually, wearing a stripped blue and white polo shirt, faded jeans with a plain white sneakers. However, despite the simple appearance, his presence conveyed too much aura and he imposed such authority that everyone felt like bowing to their knees and pay their respects.

"So it seems that the Pure Ones have been revealed," Hadraniel spoke in a soft velvety and alluring voice. His striking lavender eyes were looking straight towards the three women who were floating mid-high with their hands entwined, eyes closed.

"What's happening, Haddy? Pure Ones?" Pearl asked, confusion clearly shows in her eyes while the other three lads were stupified and tongue-tied watching in awe between the their friends and their new visitor.

"Ah, the prophecy," Hadraniel smiled at her showing his pearly whites. "In order for it to be fulfilled. The book of life chose predestined beings and entertwined them with Venuscha as the center being the balancer of the power. Her decision will be crucial in revealing the perfect vessel." He explained in a voice that sounded like a lullaby, it washed away any sensible thoughts within an ordinary being, once again Pearl was not an exception. She may be once an Angelicum herself but she was stripped out from most of her powers rendering her as a lower being to Hadraniel at the moment.

"Hmnn," Pearl answered in a daze, being the one at the receiving end of most of the aura. Aldrik, Agnus and Rufus on the other hand are gawking like idiots with their mouths hanging open.

Hadraniel finally noticed this. He wasn't aware that he would affect these beings this way. Now, he knows why they were forbidden to come out of their realm with all their Angelic aura. The effects would be catastrophic.

"I apologise, it's my first time to do this." He suppressed his aura to let them adjust to his presence. A collective sighs were heard when they felt that something was withdrawn from them in an instant. Something warm, comforting and addictive.
