My Angel system

346 A Revealing Conversation

Luis was surprised and at the same time frightened to open the door and find Nova standing there.

He thought she was finally there to do what she came to earth to do.

The only thing that had calmed him down a little at that moment was the green aura trails in front of him which signified that his Demi-Angels were safe.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm not here to do what you're thinking," Nova said.

"Then why are you here?" Luis asked.

"I've told you, I just want to talk," Nova said.

"Talk about what exactly?" Luis asked, giving her a peering look.

"Ummm….you know what, why don't we just go for a little stroll and I'll tell you on our way?" Nova said forcing a little smile on her face.

"A stroll to where exactly?" Luis asked.

"Nowhere exactly, just around the academy, and before you ask, yes we are going to stay in areas with students," Nova said.

"I wasn't going to ask because I know you will still be able to do what you want to do even if there are students in the area," Luis said.

"I've told you Luis if I want to capture you, I don't need to trick you, I will just come looking for you and grab you the second I find you," Nova said with a deep menacing voice that seemed to have creeped the hell out of Luis.

"Well, at least it's clear you still have the desire to do it." He said drawing back from her a little.

"I just want to talk about something that could help both of us in good ways," Nova said.

"Why can't we just talk about it here?" Luis asked.

"Your roommates will be back anytime soon and it would be weird seeing the both of us standing here and I can't come into your room so the best thing for us to do is just walk around while we talk about it," Nova said. "I know you're finding it very difficult to trust and I understand why, all I'm asking for is to be your friend for just a few minutes."

"My friend?"

"Yeah, I promise I won't do anything or try to take you by surprise, I don't do those kinds of things," Nova said.

'She sounds desperate.' Lena said.

'Yeah.' Luis replied with a surprised tone in his subconscious voice.

The young Angel didn't reply immediately as he dipped his hand into his pocket to make sure that his teleporter was there.

That was his way of being cautious, in case anything went wrong, the teleporter was going to be his only hope.

"Okay, I'll come with you," Luis said as a smile quickly made its way to Nova's face.

"Good, let's go then." She said.

The two walked towards the stadium as the sun was beginning to slowly get low and for a few minutes into their walk, nobody said anything to the other.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Luis asked finally breaking the silence.

"Your father," Nova said.

"I thought I already told you, my parents are dead and I don't think my father is an Angel because I didn't get my abilities from me," Luis said.

"Yeah, it wouldn't make sense if you did," Nova said.

"Huh?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.

"You know a long time ago, I knew an Angel, a guardian Angel just like me, his name was Miles," Nova said, turning her gaze to him.

"Miles?"

"Yeah," Nova said. "I know this isn't important but we were actually lovers, he was from the tenth faction and I was from the first faction.

"We were bound to become mates and everything was going well until he suddenly went missing," Nova said.

"Missing?"

"Yeah, how long have you been in this part of the world?" She asked.

"About five months now," Luis said.

"Good, then you must have heard about Zillah," Nicole said.

"Yeah, Zillah, the powerful Angel that helped humans fight off the demons," Luis said.

"Zillah was the Angel Supreme," Nova said.

"What's an Angel Supreme?" Luis asked.

"It's a position taken by the strongest Angel in heaven, the Angel Supreme acts as sovereign over the Angels," Nova said.

"Oh, ok but what does he have to do with what you're saying?" Luis asked.

"Well Zillah was Miles' father and the day he Zillah came to earth to fight the demons was the same day Miles went missing.

"We heard from Zillah after a while but we never heard from or saw Miles again."

"What do you mean you heard from Zillah, isn't he in heaven?" Luis asked.

"No, Zillah has not returned since the day he left," Nova said.

"Huh?" Luis said with a confused expression on his face.

Now a lot of things that he had heard were beginning to not make sense.

"He hasn't returned," Nova said, shaking her head. "But let's not deviate from what we were saying."

"You still haven't made any point," Luis said.

"I am about to," Nova said as she took a turn into the park beside the stadium. "During the time Zillah went missing, there were no other Angels who were missing so the only ones absent from heaven were just him and Zillah.

"I thought something bad had happened to him since he never sent a message to us or returned until I met you."

"So now, you think I'm his son," Luis said.

"I know you're his son because you got a few of his facial features but something is telling me otherwise." Nova said.

"Huh?"

"There were no female Angels on earth at the time he went missing which means that your mother is definitely a human but that doesn't even make sense because you're an Angel," Nova said, stopping in the middle of the park.

"What are you trying to say?" Luis asked.

"A human and an Angel cannot give birth to an Angel," Nova said.

"I wasn't an Angel from birth," Luis said, shaking his head.

"Huh?" Nova said with a confused expression on her face.

"I was a complete human while I was at Asaka, I only started turning into an Angel after I fell into that portal with a strange book," Luis said.

"Strange book?"

"Yeah, a brown book that kept telling me to do things," Luis said.

"Are you still with the book?" Nova asked.

"No, it somehow went missing after I arrived here," Luis said.

"Okay, what was the book talking about?" Nova asked.

"It kept telling me that there was a war coming soon and that I should be prepared, then I thought it was crazy because the phrases kept changing each time and sometimes the book opened on its own," Luis explained.

"Apart from that what else?" Nova asked.

"Well….. the book was definitely from my father because it had something written on the first page," Luis said.

"What?" Nova asked.

"From Greg Miles to Luis Miles," Luis said.

"Oh, ok, anything else?" Nova asked.

"Like what?" Luis asked.

"Did the book have a title?" Nova asked.

"Yeah," Luis said.

"What?"

"Ancient Mystics," Luis said.

"Ancient Mystics," Nova said with a gasp.

"What?" Luis asked.
