Reake's heart just about stopped when he saw the condition Michael was in. He was strung up, bleeding from so many wounds. Whip marks, cuts, bruises, you name it. The only thing they couldn't do was burn him. His skin was blue and they looked to have been in the process of cutting off his wings. It was a gruesome state to find his love in.<br/><br/>The moment Kane pinned the General, the man made his last ditch effort. "Kill him!" He demanded to the others in the room. 2 torture experts, 3 lieutenants, and a bevy of guards. The turned and rushed toward Michael, hurrying to complete the job as they hand been ordered. Ome of the lieutenants raised his blade to decapitate the angel, but he never got that far.<br/><br/>Kane could practically feel the power explode behind him as Reake summoned his staff and slammed it into the ground. Everything stopped though Kane would be able to still process things at a normal rate due to his strength. It would feel like time itself was on hold. Reake walked forward, charged with divine power, his hair floating about him amd eyes glowing pure gold white light. As he walked past with his staff he touched each demon, they glowed and crumbled into dust, smited by the sheer power of the sun.<br/><br/>One by one they each fell, unable to move or even process what happened. The chains holding Michael crumbled to nothing as Reake cupped his face amd pressed their foreheads together. The blue skin, open wounds and bruises vanished. The staff disappeared, and the energy in the room fell, though it was not nearly the same as before. Divinity had touched this plane and it was a space filled with light now, grass and flowers had sprouted in Reake's wake.<br/><br/>Michael opened his eyes and stood. "Reake, I new you would come." He says hoarsely.<br/><br/>"Michael..." Reake says, but that was all he got out before he collapsed in his loves arms. Stopping time like that, smiting the demons, and healing Michael had fully drained him. The only one left is in Kane's grip, the General.
