Nohtay by Anton Hall (e book free reading TXT) 📕

a demon when we fuse our souls to human bodies. So fighting us would be difficult for them. When I threw away my duties as an angel, I fell to your world. I was being pursued the entire time. I fought against so many angels. Some of them I knew and others I didn’t. I began to wonder how many would be sent after me before I died. The stream of angels was endless. Thes tronger I got the stronger the angels were that pursued me. I teamed up with the demons that fell before me and the demons that fell after me. War between the angels and demons grew larger than it had ever been. I fought against the same angels that I’ve been through wars with against the demons! I was enjoying the battles again, even though I was on a different side. I was enjoying the battles so much I didn’t pay attention to my allies falling in battle. The firea ngels destroyed most of the earth demons; the earth angels destroyed most of the wind demons, our water demons couldn’t beat the wind angels, and our fire demons were completely suppressed by the water angels. They overwhelmed us after a while. Even the humans joined our feud. Half the humans chose to worship the angels and the other half worshipped us. The angels had almost eradicated every demon in existence. So I fled as fast as I could. I met demons all across the world. Some were not angels before they fell. They had talents that had nothing to do with war. I met a demon named Gestalsia that showed me aw ay to hide from the Angels. She created two small blades called intercissions. The blades are used to cut into the souls of the demon and the human and bond them. I went through human after human trying to escape hoping the angels would leave me be, but humans only live so many years before they pass. Unless I wanted to pass with them I had to leave their bodies and find another. So I had to find a new solution, but something I didn’t understand was how the intercission had such a serious side effect. It started to take away my solid form. So, I tried to flee as fast as I could, but before I was caught I saw you, a child playing out in your yard.” Nohtay explained.

 

“Then you hid yourself within me, so you could stay alive? So why haven’t you left me alone yet!?” I asked impatiently.

“I need the intercission.” Nohtay said.

“Well where is it?” I asked.

“Your father has it now or your mother, your father’s probably using it to create more crystals.” Nohtay responded. His answer frustrated me.

“So before I could even speak you dragged me into your problems!?” I asked angrily.

“What was so precious and perfect about your life anyway!? I’ve seen your memories Raikoe; all that you’ve ever done is serve under your mother!! Blind to what is really happening in your own world, you’re angry about someone opening your eyes to the truth!?” Nohtay yelled back.

“That’s not for you to decide!! I want to decide how I spend my life. What if I don’t want to fight against angels!!? What if I don’t want to use your power to fight in a war that your demons caused in the first place!!” I loudly shouted to Nohtay as I stood up from the chair.

“Demons caused no such thing! The Midnight wars are of human creation. Hiemachy saw an opportunity to take over half the world using the crystals he created from the intercission that his demon Waachter stole from me. The Midnight wars are only the minor issue you face Raikoe!” Nohtay said as he sat back down across from me.

“What about friends?” I asked.

“You’ve never had any!” he responded.

“Family?” I asked.

“They’re all in the same boat as you!” he responded.

“Love?” I hesitantly asked.

“That’s the funniest thing you’ve ever said Raikoe!” he said containing his laughter.

“Are you just incapable of taking responsibility for disrupting my peace!?” I asked.

“Your peace was flawed and boring!!” Nohtay responded.

“Again, it’s not your place to decide that!” I shouted back.

“Well that’s why you’re here isn’t it, to find a way to get rid of demons!? Nohtay asked.

“Maybe, and if not all of them then just you!” I responded.

“Well here we sit Raikoe. Without me and my power you’ll never see your mother again!” Nohtay stated.

“And without me and my body you can’t fight!” I stated back.

“So what’s it going to be? The angel’s won’t wait forever you know?” Nohtay asked.

“Where are they? I thought I asked already?” I inquired back.

“You did yes; they’re all bonding their souls to the other humans.” Nohtay responded.

“You mean across the oceans!?” I asked.

“Yes they’re all waiting for Hiemachy to implode and leave this side of this world in disarray. The wars may end but no one will take Hiemachy’s place. When that time surely comes, all demons and remnants of demons will be cleansed and erased.” Nohtay predicted.

“Everything will be back to normal then!? No demons no Angels?” I asked happily. Nohtay paused and looked into my ignorant eyes and saw that I was really serious about my question.

“Raikoe all humans who’ve ever interacted with demons, demon remnants, even the little crystals, will be destroyed without mercy!! I’m trying to get you to understand that there is no back to normal anymore! It’s just fight or die Raikoe! Make your choice!” He demanded of me but I was never in this when it started.

“Make my choice!? I’m not going to die because of you Nohtay! I’ll do what I have to do but it won’t be for you! So stop trying to be cryptic and just tell how to end this!” I demanded back.

 

“The end will come when Hiemachy is off the throne and the angels are defeated and sent back to where they came from. First you defeat the people Hiemachy put in charge. Next you end the war by defeating Hiemachy. Then you put down the angels, and lastly you will have to face the archangels. Do you understand?” Nohtay explained but not in much detail. I felt that if I wanted answers I would have to wait. Nohtay wasn’t telling me everything I needed to know.

“Yeah I got it! Sounds easier than it really is of course.” I said hoping to force more details out of him.

“Good because there will be no retries or room to make mistakes. When the fires rain down from the sun you have to make sure that you’re the reason the fires fall!” Nohtay reminded me.

“Yeah I understand. Now for your power, I’ll need it.” I asked calmly.

“Of course Raikoe, learn as much as you can.” Nohtay responded.

“Show me the way, I’m ready.” I stated. Nohtay gathered the fires surrounding us both and shot them at me. I awoke in front of Priscilla. At first I didn’t feel any different, but a wave power came over me all at once. I looked at my arms and legs as they changed into demonic limbs. Nohtay began to speak to me.

“This is my power, and this is my sight. Use them to destroy our enemies Raikoe.” He shouted. I started to feel pain in my eyes and back. My eyes turned full red. My back shot out boned wings that caught fire just like my memories. Only this time I could actually feel the power. I was fully transformed and in control. The power I felt was like nothing I could dream up. Priscilla was in complete awe.

“How in the world is this possible!? No one should be able to do that!” Priscilla stated.

“I feel amazing! Why don’t people just stay this way, it’s a whole lot better!” I shouted astonished.

“Well shall we test it? “ Priscilla asked.

“Yeah, but how?” I responded.

“Have you ever even been in a fight before?” she asked.

“Whoa lady I don’t want to hurt you only my enemies!” I responded.

“Relax its just to see how powerful you are kid!” she said with an emphasis on the kid.

“Okay fine.” I responded. Priscilla flew after me. I tried to block but she still sent me flying into a tree. My flaming wings lifted me. I flew back at her. All of my punches, kicks, and a head butt were all evaded by her. She then landed a kick on my back. I fell into the ground annoyed that I couldn’t hit her back.

“You have to be faster than that kid!” she said almost taunting me. I remembered the memory Nohtay showed me. I had dematerialized and reappeared behind Elguntier.

“Can I still do that Nohtay?” I asked him in my head.

“Well of course Raikoe; just think of where you are and where you want to be.” He responded. I thought about punching her in the back and I dematerialized.

“Whoa, what was that!?” Priscilla asked amazed. The fires materialized me behind her. I landed a punch directly on her back. She flew through a few trees before one finally stopped her. I thought of doing it again and again but she wasn’t really who I wanted to fight.

“Your little punches wouldn’t even touch me in your human form but you seem to have immense strength now.” She said.

“I guess so.” I said with a demonic smile. We both laughed.

“What about your weapon?” she asked.

“What weapon?” I asked back.

“Well everyone I assumed got a weapon to use.” She responded.

“Well Nohtay, how about it?” I asked him. I could hear Nohtay’s demonic laughter in my head.

“Sure, a bit further wouldn’t hurt.” Nohtay said. A long flame extended from my arm. The blade showed itself as the flames subsided to the hilt. It was a very large blade wrapped in extremely hot metal chains. When I tried to swing it the chains seemed to set the air on fire. A fiery red trail followed the blade as I swung it around. For someone so angry at the demons I seemed to enjoy every bit of their powers.

 

“You mean this right!?” I asked rhetorically.

“Yeah that’s it Raikoe.” Priscilla responded with a proud look upon her face. Then she crossed her arms over her chest and grew blades wrapped in tree branches from her palms. She dual wields two green swords. I just stood silent. She giggled and came after me. I swung my blade and missed. She was above me. I jumped after her and she spun downwards with her swords like a drill. I blocked it but the force was too much. I fell back down but landed safely. She flew down and began to fly around me in circles. I was confused but tried to focus. My sight turned red and her speed seemed to slow down. I saw her preparing an attack. I braced myself. She attacked from the right. I draped my sword over my right arm and blocked it. Punching the sword with my left arm pushed her back. I took my sword in both hands and flew after her. I swung my sword in every direction I could think of. Priscilla blocked and dodged my attacks. As I continued to attack my arms caught on fire.I landed and readied my sword. Priscilla smiled and scraped her swords together. Sparks from her sword fell to the ground and made a wall of trees.They grew taller and taller. I heard Nohtay’s laughter.

“Send the fires after her!” he yelled loudly in my head. Without responding I slashed my sword downwards through the wind and sent a wave of fire at the wall of trees. When the fires reached the wall it covered it and made it explode. Malory and her brother Kane showed up.

“What is this!!?” They both yelled.

“We were just testing Raikoe’s strength!” Priscilla yelled back.

“Well now you see what we can do together Raikoe. Any time you need me just feel for the fires inside and let them out.” Nohtay said to me. When he said it my demon
