I held my hand out and Angel flew down to it. She started to wrap herself around my hand and then my wrist. She grew longer and longer as she went up my shoulder and around my neck. When she was wrapped around my chest, I knew that she was done growing for the time being. Though, I had a feeling that she could get a lot bigger if we tried hard enough.
Angel had become a part of me. I could feel her soul inside of my body, and she was boosting my power to be even stronger than I had ever felt it before. She was thrumming inside of me as I called the magic toward me. Magic that I had only ever heard about but never tried before.
Mom and Dad both had weapons, so I thought that I should have one too. I could see it too. It was purple, like the color of my wolf. Dark purple for the most part, but shining with the light of the pale shades. It was a blade, but not a sword. Instead, this blade was curved and attached to a long handle that I recognized as being an English Violet. It was the darkest shade of purple that there was. I had looked them up after I shifted to see what colors I had been.
“Purple is quickly becoming my favorite color.” I grinned as I looked at the blade. “Now, it’s time to fight.”
“Talia looks cool.” Angel said as she spoke inside of my head. “Kill monsters now.”
“Yes Angel, we’re going to kill them now.” I nodded and leapt through the air toward the closest monster. I sliced at it with the blade that I had summoned and saw that the arm was cut off perfectly at the shoulder.
“SCREEEEE!” The monster literally let out a loud screeching yowl that hurt my ears. I didn’t cover them though. I was too busy for that. I continued to hack away at the thing.
As I made slice after slice, I saw that something was happening. The soul that was inside of the creature was being removed piece by piece. And it was being absorbed into my blade. I was literally collecting its soul. That was completely unexpected.
I continued to kill that monster and then the next one that came running toward me. I had already swiped at it when I heard a voice call out to me.
“TALIA!” It was Lex, he had noticed that I was fighting with him and the others. “GET OUT OF THERE!”
“I am helping.” I called back to him as I started to collect another soul into my weapon. “Keep fighting.”
It was then that I heard the sound of my father screaming. He had been attacked. And my mother’s voice came right after that.
“AHHH!”
“JOAQUIN!” I looked up in time to see that a monster had sunk its talons into my dad’s back and sides and was flying away with him.
“DAD!” I yelled, abandoning the battle that was in front of me. And I didn’t see the fact that there was another monster looming up toward me. And this was the one that I didn’t want to see. This was the leader that my mom had talked to, the one that was so very ugly.
I hadn’t noticed him though as I started to run toward my parents. The monster that I was collecting the soul of was still alive, just barely, and the leader was looming behind me. I was going to be attacked and I didn’t even know it.
“TALIA!” Lex called for me again as he leapt in front of the two monsters that were about to attack me. The injured one pierced him in the stomach, only reaching that high in its injured state. The leader though, he was standing there with a smirk on his face when I spun around. He had a massively clawed hand that was aimed at Lex’s chest.
“LEX!” I screamed his name as the claws buried themselves inside of the guard that I had known for my entire life. “LEX!” I screamed his name again. “LEX!” I felt as if something inside of me broke. I didn’t know what to do. I was broken, that was the only explanation for it. I had just watched my dad and Lex get hurt. And I didn’t know if either of them were going to live.

“NOOO!” I was echoing the same scream that my mom had just recently let out. She had watched my dad get taken away, but I just watched my guard get stabbed, and possibly killed. Two men in my life that were important to me were either missing or hurt. And I didn’t know what to do. “LEX!” I screamed for him again. He was right in front of me and therefore easiest for me to try to save. “YOU BASTARD!” I screamed at the man that still had his hand inside of him.
“I am no bastard.” He grinned at me, blood dripping from his elbow as Lex bled profusely onto him. “I am Olorud, King of the True Demons and the father of all evil. I am the one that will see you and all of your people destroyed.”
“NO!” I screamed at him. “YOU WILL DIE FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!” I was still screaming at him. And at the same time, I felt a searing pain that was coursing through me. I wasn’t the only one that felt it either.
Angel, still in her elongated form, flew out of my body and shrieked in pain.
…..
“YEOW! Talia too hot. Talia too much magic.” She was large and purple as she looked at me. Large enough that I could use her as something to fly on if I wanted to. And at the moment, that was exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to straddle her back and have her fly toward that evil man and kill him.
“Talia?” I heard a voice that I knew calling out toward me, but I ignored it. “Talia!” Hades called me again, but I was too focused on the man that was in front of me.
“You will die, Olorud. You will pay for hurting my family.” I was including Lex in that family. He had been with me for eleven years, more than two thirds of my life, he was family by now.
“You cannot kill me, mongrel child. I am too powerful.” And it was then that the voices, still calling me, got the attention of Olorud.
“TALLY!”
“TALIA!”
“LISTEN TO US!”
“WAIT, TALIA!”
Startled, Olorud looked down at the owners of the voices. He knew who they were just the same as I did.
“WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?” His angered and startled voice screeched in protest when he saw them.
All of the Gods that had shown up to help us were making their way toward me and Olorud, but I ignored them. I was filled with too much rage, and way too much power. I needed to end this. I needed to end him. This had to happen.
“Angel!” I called to her. “Let’s fly!” She understood what I meant. We had had a mental connection since I was a child, and she knew that I needed to ride on her. She grew a little more as she flew in front of me and I jumped onto her back. I had my blade in my hand still, but I didn’t think that I would use it to kill this man. I didn’t want to make this too quick for him. I wanted him to feel the level of my power. He was telling me that he was too powerful for me, but he didn’t know how strong my mother and I really were. And Rika as well, but she just didn’t know how much power she held inside of her.
