Promise in my perspective isn’t something all

human should make, because no one is sure

what tomorrow or days to come hold.

In heaven, the supreme one takes promise

very importance, when done to another party,

he expected it to be fulfilled or else it

becomes a debt on you which you carry

around till the day you fulfil it.

That’s why I’m against the idea of promising.

Only death can pay the debt of promise but if

ones die before fulfilling his or her promise but

already had the chance to fulfill the promise

but didn’t, then death wouldn’t have enough

dime to pay for that person’s promise.

But what would be my fate when I return to

heaven with a debt on me, a shame for

eternity.

I made promise to Ranking to protect Tabitha

but the promise was already drifting away

from my reach and I knew I’ve to fulfill it.

Happy ending, a great phrase that humans so

much believe in, tho many were compelled to

believe that the phrase will always be the end

of their life because of too much movie.

But the real fact is that out of 100% little

ones, only 40% always have that phrase while

others end in tragedy.

Before all people reading my story will fully

indulge themselves to know what finally ended

me, I can’t assure you that you might not be

disappointed.

As I’ve told you before, not everyone have the

opportunity to swim in the river of happy

ending.

Brother Luci accepted his request and gave

him the immortal sword .

” watch out to how I will destroy the earth

which your father value most ” he said

before he disappeared into the ground in

flame.

” this will be more than an ordinary sparring ”

brother Lucien said as he charged at me.

My time with humans especially Tabitha took

it toll on me.

I wasn’t very strong, brother Lucien took the

pleasure of beating me to pulp, he was much

stronger than I was, he dealt with me like a

kid, I tried my all to also fight him but I

couldn’t land a single punch .

The sword in his hand was burning through my

flesh as it touches me because I didn’t have

my armour on me.

He was inflicting pain on me, I knew it was to

make me the feel the pain he felt when I

defeated and hurt his pride in the magnificent

hall.

I knew that the more time I spend with brother

Lucien, the closer Tabitha get to death.

I knew that brother Luci would have to take

her to the middle of the earth, the water of

creation inside Tabitha can’t survive more

than a minute on earth before it lose it

potency, so brother Luci would have to take

her their before he drains her of her blood and

miss it with the hakintolite water.

I screamed in pain as the immortal sword cut

through my left rib. The cut accompanied by

burning pain sank deep into my body and I fell

on my knee with no power or strength left

inside me.

” where’s that strength you displayed in the

magnificent hall when you fought me then ”

he said with an angry voice,

” you disgraced me, embarrassed me and

made me felt useless and worse of all, you

made me lose my pride ” he barked in an

angry tone.

” help me, I’m going to die, please save me,

my love ” I heard this tunes which were

portrayed in Tabitha’s voice coming to me in a

tone that portrayed fear and helplessness.

” I’ve been looking forward to this day ever

since the day I came to earth and now you’ve

to pay for treating me that way ” he added but

I wasn’t listening as the image of Tabitha

suddenly appeared in front of me, tears was

streaming down her beautiful face, and she

looked helpless and pitiful.

” I know you’ll save me my love ” she said in

a melancholy tone and was stretching her

hand towards me, I tried to grab it but it

disappeared when my hand was about to

touch her.

I screamed loudly in anger and lightening

started striking in a fearsome manner.

Brother Lucien raised his sword to strike me

at once but my armor as if being attracted by

a magnetic force, flew to where we were and

wore itself on me at once shielding brother

Lucien attack.

I stood up at once with a new adrenaline of

energy circulating inside me.

He tried to attack again but I swiftly rolled on

the ground to dodge his attack and picked my

sword which was laying on the floor.

I turned and strike him from behind with all

my strength, he lost balance and felt down but

quickly stood up.

My sword unlike the immortal sword isn’t

capable of killing an Angel but is capable of

inflicting pain on an Angel when they’re struck

with it.

He groaned in pain as he stretched the

immortal sword at me but wasn’t balanced

well on the ground as he kept staggering little

by little, I knew he was trying to steady

himself, I made motion to attacked him again

and he quickly raised his sword up to also

attack me but I aimed at his hand, as he

waved his sword at me, I swerved to my left

and quickly struck his hand with my sword and

he was disarmed by that move as his sword

fell down from his hand.

He quickly wanted to pick it back but I

channelled all my strength into my right hand

and gave him an uppercut, the force of the

punch made him fly a bit before he landed on

his back.

I weaved my hand a bit in order to get rid of

the pain I felt inside it.

The uppercut had so much force that I heard

some funny sound inside my wrist , i felt like it

was broken.

I picked the immortal sword and moved closer

to him.

Before he could say jack, the sword was

already embedded in his chest.

I watched as his body caught fire and bit by

bit, it turned into ashes and the wind escorted

it into the atmosphere.

I tried to connect with Tabitha but all I could

get was a faint connection, I knew it was

because she was being travelled underground.

I knew their destination and I knew I had a

chance of getting there in time to save

Tabitha.

They were going to Kaba in Mecca, that’s

where the middle of the earth is located.

But what I wasn’t sure is if I could make it

that far in my human, I wouldn’t have been

worried if I was still an angel.

I brought out my wing as I head out of the

house.

The weather has already change to qualify the

impending danger, I can best describe how

the weather looked to lunar eclipse.

When I got out I flew up at once, and started

flying to Mecca.

All little ones are all stiff, everywhere was

silent as cars ,lorry humans all were glued to

the position they were before brother Luci did

whatever he did that made them stiff.

With all the speed I could muster, I flew to

Mecca, it got to a point, I felt myself blacking

out on flight, I knew it was because I overdid

it, I was not suppose to be flying such long

distance in my human form, but the thought

that I have to save the little ones and Tabitha

kept me going.

It got to a point ,my feathers started coming

off, I was still a little bit far from kaba when

this started happening.

And I knew if I didn’t make it to Kaba before

all come off, then I will crash midway.

With my sore hands and tired self, I increased

my pace again and kept on flying.

I was getting weaker and I felt myself dying

internally and my feathers won’t stop tripping

off.

I was very thirsty and felt my oesophagus

shutting down, I passed many rivers, sea,

ocean and many water source but couldn’t

have a drop of water because I felt like a

second wasted will lead to the eradication of

the earth.

My wings were almost like that of a de-

feathered chicken, when I saw the symbol in

Kaba, tho I was still a little bit far from it.

All the feathers were almost gone, my once

glorious feather turned to something of the

past.

My eye sight was getting blurrier, and I

wondered where I was going to get the

strength to fight bro Luci and his agents even

if I made it.

And it happened that when I was about to get

to Kaba, my wings stopped functioning and I

crashed on the floor with a loud thud.

I fainted at once, tho I tried hard not to but I

couldn’t control it.

I didn’t not know how long I was gone but

when I woke up, I was hearing a loud

murmuring from afar, it was like incantation.

I knew it was coming from Kaba and by

brother Luci and his agents,

That means I got to Mecca before them.

I stood up feeling alright, I was surprised to

see my wings on my back again in it full glory.

I flew at once and headed to Kaba.

My sword at my back and the immortal sword

sheathed beside my leg.

I saw a great view when I got to Kaba, the

agents of brother Luci all having a dark

glasses worn on their face formed a big circle

chanting, while brother Luci was inside the

circle with Tabitha who was tied up like a

sacrificial lamb, she looked like she’s

sustained many bruises on her body.

Brother Luci had a small black knife in his

hand and a calabash that looked sacred which

I presumed contains the hakintolite water.

Brother Luci suddenly looked up and saw me

hovering over them.

He gave me a wicked grin which I didn’t know

what it was but not for long.

” plan b ” he suddenly shouted and all his

agents suddenly brought out an object which I

didn’t know what it was, they all hit it on the

floor at once and a great blinding smoke filled

everywhere, that was when I knew what the

work of the sunshade the agents of brother

Luci had on .

I was blinded temporarily by the smoke and

couldn’t see anything, when the smoke weared

off ,I saw all brother Luci’s agents with bow

and arrows in their hand aiming at me. I was

sure the arrow will also have the melted part

of the immortal sword in it.

Before I could escape, they all shot at me at a

go, I quickly brought out my sword, I was able

to use it to shield many arrows but many still

find their way into my body and I fell down.

I was directly falling into the circle but I didn’t

know the force that pushed me away when I

was about to land inside it and I fell outside of

the circle groaning in a severe pain as the

arrows were visibly on my head and my leg,

only my chest was left out because of the

armor I was having on.

I la!d on the ground in pain as I saw brother

Luci dipped the knife into Tabitha’s rib.

Just then a lightening struck and scattered all

the agents of brother Luci.

Then I saw as the heaven opened and the

greater one with brother Michael by his side

on flying horses and armies of angels from the

warriors department at their back also with

sword in their hands.

Brother Luci on seeing this shivered in fear

and tried to quickly finish what he started,

seeing the backup coming to help me gave me

a lot of strength, I stood up and I forced all

the arrows playing chess in my body out at

once, I ran with speed and with a flying kick ,I

sent brother Luci away from Tabitha who was

bleeding profusely from where she was

stabbed.

I held her in my hand and started weeping as

she looked at me weakly.

Her breathing was weak, she looked at me and

smile and tear drop released from her eye.

She weakly raised her hand up and placed it

on my cheek which was already wet with

tears.

Brother Michael and the greater one were

already down and captured brother Luci.

” Benmanna ” the greater one called my name

as he placed his hand on my shoulder.

” please save her, she isn’t dead yet, it’s an

easy task for you to save her ,please save her

” I cried to the greater one as I wept

profusely.

” she’s going to live but you have to back out

of this mission and agree that you’re going to

allow another guardian angel take over ” the

greater one said looking at me with pity

” I agree , please just save her ” I cried

agreeing to his condition at once.

He placed his hand on the injured part of

Tabitha and she became healed at once and

all her bruises disappeared.

She hugged me at once and thanked the

greater one for saving her.

The greater one had to free brother Luci

because killing him will foil the prophecy of

the battle of Armageddon.

After everything has been settled, I left

Tabitha to discuss with the greater one.

” you made me proud boy, tho I believed in

you but after seeing how everything took a

sour turn, I didn’t know that you could still be

devoted to your mission ” he said to me

smiling at me and I felt a tingling of pride rose

within me.

” does the supreme one feel that way too ” I

asked the greater one with a countenance

that showed that I was a little bit sad.

” because of all your sins right?” He asked

and I shook my head shamefully

” I don’t know what the supreme one is

thinking because he didn’t share it with me,

but it’s either you’re been punished or

rewarded but the percentage that you’ll be

punished is high ” he replied me and I became

scared, I felt like not returning to heaven

again.

” okay, but who’s taking over from me ” I

asked feeling sad.

” Michael ” the greater one answered shocking

me ,fact is that brother Michael has never

serve as a guardian Angel before because he’s

greater than that, he is the fierce warrior of

heaven and him taking the position of a

guardian Angel is a little off.

” did the supreme one force him to do it ” I

asked looking surprised

” no, he nominated himself ” the greater one

replied stunning me with more shock.

Brother Michael being a guardian Angel isn’t

bad, but I feel for all the evil doers that might

try to harm Tabitha especially Yemi.

Brother Michael is ruthless unlike me that am

still a bit merciful.

I haven’t seen him smile once ever since have

known him and I knew that any wrong move

from Yemi towards Tabitha, she’s already

gone.

” okay, it’s good but what will happen to

Tabitha, will she be given the honour to live

with the memory of seeing you and the angels

” I asked not going into full details of the

question.

” the divinity has been exposed too much and

we will have to eradicate all the memories

from her head and your memories from this

earth making all those who have your

memories to forget about you ”

” including Tabitha too “? I asked interrupting

the greater one.

” yes ” he replied me making me more sad.

” okay, but can I ask for a favour ” I asked the

greater one with a pitiful eye.

” you’re free to ” he replied

” please, let me return Tabitha home so that I

can have the chance of bidding her farewell

before she forget everything about me.

The greater one contemplated it for some

seconds before agreeing to it.

” but you’ve to make it snappy because in the

next one hour, you’ll regain your angelship

back and all memories of you will be wiped

away from this earth.” He warned me before

he placed his hand on my wing and it became

very big and stronger.

I thanked him before I moved to where

Tabitha was ,took her in my hand and started

flying.

The journey wasn’t stressful this time and

fast.

I knew it was the doing of the greater one.

We spent only fifty minute before we got

home where everyone were still glued to their

spot.

I took her to her room, she looked at me

smiling and Happy but I was sad because it

wasn’t going to last.

” do you remember the promise you asked me

to make you this morning ” I asked glaring

into her eye

” yes ” she replied.

” here is my reply ” I said and she changed

her sitting posture glaring into my eye like if I

speak the wrong word, she’s going to eat me

raw.

” I can’t be with you forever, I’m going back to

heaven soon and another angel will take

charge of in guarding you ” I added using all

my power to stop the tears lurking behind my

pupil.

” no, I don’t want anyone except you, please

don’t leave, I’m ready to follow back to

heaven if need be, if you leave me alone, I

won’t be able to forget you” she said with

tears on her eye, I couldn’t hold my tears

again as I also started weeping profusely.

” you will, you will be able to forget me ” I

said amidst tears.

” no, no, no ” she started screaming loudly .

” you’ve to forget about me, you have to

continue living your life happily, get married

to a good man, have cute kids and have a

pleasant career ” I said wiping the tears on

her face off.

” will I be able to see you again ” she asked

calming down a little.

” I’m not sure ” I answered her.

” then I think I have to do this for the last

time ” she said as she brought her head

closer to mine and kissed me passionately.

We were still kissing when I felt myself

flickering, I knew my time was up. I quickly

disengaged the kiss.

” good bye Tabitha ” I said as I finally became

invisible and I attained my normal height and

stature back.

” good bye Ben ” she said surprising me.

” did she not lose the memory if me ” I asked

myself rhetorically as I flew out of her room.

I wanted that to be a form of mystery to me

which I will be deliberating on when I get to

heaven, whether if she still remember me or

not.

I was already on my way to heaven when I felt

the urge that my story shouldn’t just be in

dark like that, after all I went through, I feel

like it’s some kind of compensation to me if

people know my story.

I flew to one the highest rock I saw around,

sculpt out a part with my sword, and wrote my

story on it, I threw it down to earth hoping it

get into the hand of a story writer who will

help portray the story of my life on earth to

the people.

I looked down to the earth again and started

weeping as I knew I was going to miss it.

I continued my journey back to heaven with

my heart in my mouth because I know not

what await me by the supreme one, but I

thought he should still reward me because I

was returning the immortal sword to him, that

was when I remembered that it has been long

since I felt the immortal sword on my leg, I

touched the place I put it and that was when I

knew that I’ve lost the sword.

What now await

me, reward or punishment.

THE END
