Malachi continued to fight. His struggles were showing. The Wraith's army was thinning, and even now some were turning and running away. This battle would not last much longer. Malachi 'drew' all his swords, wielding them with his naked faith and sending them out to destroy the enemies of his glorious Lord.

"The enemy is depleting... why not show our soldiers a little hope... 1/2 is too much... 1/4 is to low... 1/3... that sounds good." She muttered. She closed her eyes and gripped her sword. She started to sing a sweet ancient hymn. When she finished singing, she drew her sword. "Hark!" She yelled, then swung her sword and placed it back in her sheath. A shock wave from the sword knocked down and killed 1/3 of the army. She grabbed the hood of her cloak, then started to run off before being noticed.

Malachi noticed the enemies around him fall. He looked for the source and saw it, pulling a hood over her head as she ran. Using his light-walking talent he appeared in front of her. "WHY TO RUN FROM THE FRAY, SISTER CELESTIAL? YOUR SWORD WOULD BE WELCOME AMONG OUR RANKS, THOUGH YOUR FACE IS KNOWN TO ME AS THE ONE BY THE SIDE OF THE WRAITH-KING. STILL, YOU MAY REDEEM YOURSELF. SHOW YOUR TRUE FORM, MICHAEL. IT ILL BEFITS AN ARCHANGEL TO WALK IN DISGUISE, ESPECIALLY IN HER OWN LANDS." Malachi did not know why he had most of his powers. He simply had them. Disguises did not fool him, distance and time were no obstacles for him, and while he yet lived no being could open the Gates. It had never occurred to him to question why he had those powers. He simply did.

Laura was silent. "I can't reveal myself." She said simply. "I am no enemy of yours, but there are matters I must attend to. If my name is spoken, and it is known I am here, I'm sure you can guess what would happen. I'm too famous... There are matters I must attend to before I am known. Otherwise I will have neither peace nor privacy." She said clearly. "Do not mistake me. I will help, but I will keep my disguise. Address me by Laura. It is my other name." She said with a small sigh, walking towards the battle field. 'I was hoping to enjoy a little more peace. Looks like it's back to work...' She thought.

Malachi looked at the disguised Archangel. Giving what amounted to a shrug from a being that had no shoulders, he drew the two swords of his that were not already independently causing havoc among the Wraiths. His face contrived to seem stern without actually moving."TRULY I SEE A WARRIOR BEFORE ME. HOWEVER, AN ARCHANGEL MUST REVEAL ITS FORM AS BEFITS ONE OF THEIR STATURE. TO DO LESS SHOWS COWARDICE AND TREASON AGAINST THE LORD AND HIS ARMY. SURELY YOU DO NOT WISH TO FALL INTO DISFAVOR WITH OUR LORD, MICHAEL?"

((I have returned.))
"It was the Lord himself who asked it of me." Michael replied. "It is no cowardliness, rather for the benefit of heaven's situation. This place needs faith in the king and queen rather then faith in a reappearing hero to which they do not know. After all, I am here to defend, not rule. They must fight for themselves and what they believe in with faith. It's not about me. It's about the heart of the place. I have been gone far to long. No one knows me for who I am, but rather the legends I leave behind." Laura explained. She drew her sword again. She swung her sword, and the rest of the wraiths fell and died. "I was not made for glory, gold, and pleasure. Such things are worthless to me. As I said, do not mistake me." She said, looking at him with her bright blue eyes. Just the glance at them would make even the toughest enemies bones quiver. Laura sheathed her sword. "The fight is over. I'm sure you have seen action enough to be satisfied." Laura said, starting to walk off into the city. The streets were still empty with fear of the enemy.

Malachi watched her go. To himself he said, "YES, BUT IF I DO NOT SEEK BATTLE, THEN WHAT? MY ONLY THOUGHT IS THAT OF GUARDING THE GATES OF HEAVEN, AND I PERFORM THAT DUTY PERFECTLY, BUT WHY IS IT THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LONG, LONG EXISTENCE I FIND MYSELF WORRYING FOR ANOTHER? IS IT LOVE FOR WHICH I CARE FOR LADY MICHAEL? SURELY I COULD NOT HAVE SUCH AN EMOTION IN THIS GENDERLESS BODY, BUT IF I DO...?" Malachi shimmered and disappeared. His eternal vigil would continue, guarding the Gates of Heaven against invaders and those who would defy the will of God. Never had he thought of anything else, but now... His thoughts were clouded. He would meditate on this.

Laura walked along the streets in heaven. People were starting to walk out of their shops. She merged in with the background as the streets began to be peaceful and booming. Laura walked into a clothes shop to get some new clothes, rather then relying on her brown cloak.

((I'm waiting for Levi to post. Why on Earth do you keep bumping this thread? If no-one posts then you just wait until someone does. Inactivity happens. Repeated bumping gets annoying. I' irritated because I just found something out that p*sses me off, so I'll probably be sorry for this rant later.))
