111 Soul's Pain

Clarence

I caress her naked back and smell her beautiful hair. I can't believe it all right now. We have been together very long time ago, back in Aboveworld. I was her guardian back there and I followed her down the Earth to serve her and protect her. All of my memories was erased for a reason and part of her was erased as well.

"When are we going back to Insideworld?" I ask her.

"I don't know." She mutter and her warm kisses was on my chest. "Do you like your wings?"

"I love it. It just remind me of you."

"When did you get bulkier?" she ask and straddle on me caressing my silver feathers.

"Your brother ask the same."

"Which one?"

"Death." I caress her hair that covers her naked chest. I just love seeing her naked. She giggles and kisses my lips. Davin wouldn't bug us since he slept on Gibson's room. While Gibson was with Rosy on her room and probably bugging Anya. "Lancelot is in love, yet something was wrong with Althea."

"Nothing's wrong with Althea." I am sure that she's telling the truth. "She just couldn't move on and forget what happened. Something like that, they should find it out theirselves." I kisses the middle of her chest. Her skin so soft like a silk. "I think we need a bigger bed, my Guardian."

"You can sleep on my wings, my Goddess."

"It's nice to sleep there. But, you need your wings not for me to sleep."

"Can we make love again?" she giggles and lay down beside me.

"Alright my love. But tomorrow, we should find out where the lost souls are. We are going to leave the academy. But you have to hide your wings."

"Of course." I get on between her legs and caress her hair.

"Let's spend my card. We need a bigger and wider car for you, my warrior."

"I could buy—"

"My card, my warrior." She insisted. I sigh and kisses her mouth as we started making love again.

I don't even know how to sleep. Everything are very sensitive, my ears, my feelings and everyone's energy around me. I could feel it all. Was it a sin if we make love? I think it wasn't. She's on a form of a mortal, but her soul was a Goddess and I was her guardian in a half form of a mortal and immortal as well.

"I love you." I murmur on her ear.

"I love you, my love, my Guardian." We are probably noisy but this is love. I bounded my life and my soul to her. We are meant for each other and my love was eternity.

We are heading back to her room when we witness the dramatic thing between Lancelot and his mate Althea. I started taking a video of them just to record that memory. She's walking downstairs fast and he has to jump off from the upstairs down stairs to catch her up. She even pointed an arrow to him. That very romantic words of Lancelot catches me most. Althea left and Lancelot only followed her.

"I never thought that Lancelot would be that romantic."

"I know, right? He's desperate." Guinevere smile.

"Good morning," the new appointed acting head of the Academy stepped in. "We need to have a moment with you."

We only speak on the council on what happened. James Johnson, Linda Dodorah, Deborah Mendez, Elson Warren and Paulo Marquez. The whole Academy was secured and Davin told them that we need everyone to practice for the upcoming battle. He had a great speech of telling that everyone that all of us wasn't scientifically experimented or was hit by any shooting star that give us powers.

"It was from the Gods and Goddesses the sons and daughters of the Almighty God who is known in many names. We had given that special power for us to protect the earth. To protect people who are in need and to show light to those had lost their way. We aren't building an army for a war to win it for our own motives. We are collecting a group of gifted people that has been chosen by the Gods and Goddesses to protect the earth and every one of us without a payment.

"We need to train everyone, for the upcoming of Abyss's army of death. My visions are not giving false visions. Everything that I dreamed happened and are happing and going to happen. Patrick appointed me to find out who is taking the students to Abyss. We had encounter few of them on our way. They are totally blank and soulless."

"The first Head Mistress, she's been doing this." One of our old staff said.

"I saw it in Adhiti's dream and on how Adhiti almost die." Davin told. "It is clear to us. We are going to hunt down those Head Mistresses and I hope that every one of you here are with us. If this was spoiled, started thinking that it will be the end of the world."

"So, Catastrophe was really Adhiti?" Linda one of the council in the academy.

"Yes. She has to disguise herself. However Catastrophe was become part of her. She was another personality." He answer.

"How does all of those happened?" James ask the youngest professor that turn over to Patrick's class. He's Patrick's friend and I guess he's trustworthy.

"It's complicated and we can't tell every detail. You will all fight here in Outsideworld and they are going to handle back there in Insideworld. Let's stick to the plan here, few of my friends will help around." They all look at me and my wings. I cleared my throat.

"And what are you?" Paulo asked the oldest among of them.

"I'm Guinevere's Guardian." Clarence said.

"If I am not mistaken, Guardians are from Aboveworld protecting their Goddess or God." Elson Warren the one from Insideworld who come here to teach for the students stated. I nod my head.

"That's what I am, Sir."

"Then—" they all looked at Guinevere who is only silent.

Once that we are done on the new things to do to help them and we started the training right away. I use my learnings when I was Aboveworld and when I was in Insideworld. I teach them all archer wishing that Althea was here to teach them. But what a coincidence, Althea and Lancelot came with Katherine, Adhiti's cat.

"What a very great couple you'll make." Gibson said as he put his arms on both of them.

"Please don't intervene, God of Death." Althea push Gibson's arms and go on with the boys that are holding archer. They seemed mesmerized on her. Of course, Althea was one of a hellish beauty.

"Tell me, Althea who's the most handsome me or Sky?" a thick thing drip on Gibson from the sky making him frown and scowl at his brother. I started laughing with Lancelot.

"I guess, that's the answer then, Death." Althea told it with a hint of coldness but as I can see at Lancelot, it turns him on.

"Lord Lancelot, could you please help the girls on swinging the swords?" I ask him. He nodded and walk towards the girls with wooden swords.

I unfurl my wings and jump up until I reach the upper part. I started roaming around the acres of Mystical Academy. It look so big and so beautiful from up here. I wish that my Guinevere would see this. The barrier that Lancelot and I make was strong. It takes almost a lot of shadows to make it explode.

Althea was doing great down there, Lancelot as well using his learning as a great Lord Warrior of their clan. I roam around just to see that there are five way to get in in the inside world. To the Psyche, Pyr, Era, Aer and Hydōr.

"Clarence are everything clear?" Davin asked from down. Though I was really up high, I still could hear him. Since I have an advance hearing I heard him clearly. I flew down and landed in front of Davin.

"Yup. Wanna see everything up there?" Davin get pale. Oh, I forgot, he's afraid of heights.

"I want to see what's up there!" Rosy said. I glanced at Gibson who crease her brows. Gibson grabbed him away. "Gibby!" she complains. "Baby, I wanted to see what's up there." I smiled on how adorable they are. I felt that my Goddess needs me so I run fast to her like a wind and found here still sleeping.

"Guinevere?" I walk to her bed and took her into my arms and wrapped my wings around her. I closed my eyes and feel asleep just to be with her.

I found myself in the middle of winter. My Goddess was sitting on the bed ground full of snow. I run to her and scoop her face. Her eyes are closed and I called her name. She slowly open her eyes to me.

"Goddess," I murmur.

"I found where they are." I heard voices and I saw Patrick on with Marcus, a man and a boy. They went on different pathway. I look at where she is looking. On the cave and she broke into tears.

"Oh, love." I wipe her tears and cover my wings to her. "We will get them. I promise you."

"I can feel their mourn inside me." She hold her chest. I can feel my Goddess's pain but her pain is more than on what I am feeling. "I can feel on how they are tortured. I can feel the Dragon feel's pain, her pain for centuries." I wipe her tears. Seeing her clenches my heart, my stomach as well was tied into knots. I can't bare seeing her like this. But I have to for both of us.

"I'll lessen that pain, my Goddess. I promise you." I never see her cry. This is the first time that I see her cry in agony over the souls that has been stolen. She gave them life because she's the Goddess of Soul, and she feel every pain that they felt.

I took her into my arms and flew towards Patrick's direction. They found a dry place to stay for a night. I saw lots of shadows roaming around them. It seemed that they are into the boy that has no lower limb.

"Save that boy." She murmur. I kisses her forehead and put her down. I clasped my hand and form a ball of light shining it to the shadows that has been pained for that I did and they all go back to the cave. "The last camp that they went to take, has been taken by Abyss." She told. I hold her.

"What do you want me to do, Goddess?"

"I want you to protect those kids in the Academy until they could fight on their own. We are not going to let them take by one of Abyss's summon, they are the Gods and Goddesses children."

"I'll do everything you commanded me, my Goddess." She scoop my face.

"My sister, Adhiti needs more protection than I need."

"I'll protect her as well. You, Death, Adhiti and other Gods and Goddesses that are down here to keep the balance of the all worlds."

"I know. I trust you."

Soul? Clarence? We both look at Patrick who is looking at our direction though he can't see us.

"Patrick," I call him.

Where are you?

"We are here close to you. I am with my Goddess, protect that boy for now."

"Go back to Sixth Kingdom and tell them to leave back to the main Kingdoms." She told him. "You are all in danger. Leave immediately away from this place and tell Luther about this cave."

He put his fist on his chest where his heart is located and bow.

I will do everything, Goddess.

"Thank you, my apprentice."

We both go back to our shell and I kisses her forehead. She wrapped her arms around me as she cry all of her pain. I just held her like that until she's contented.
