Archangel looked blankly at the ravings of the demon and simply blinked when his form changed.<br/><br/>The demon was indeed ancient and they did know each other, neither underestimated the others powers, but that didn't mean<br/>they knew each others tactics which had developed since doing so.<br/><br/>Arachangel looked sideways at the marking - tattoo on hillary's ankle and shook his head.<br/><br/>"Her soul is not tained by what you have done, her body is something which .... " the archangel then whirlled into action<br/>and strangely sliced off hillaries leg just above the spirital-tattoo mark the foul creature created.<br/><br/>He then pointed a finger at the remains of disembodied foot and it burned in white flame leaving no ashes nor smoke in its place.<br/>then he enveloped her in his wings. and in a flash was gone from the demons sight.<br/><br/>... only to appear in another part of the maze, hillaries eyes closed in some coma the angel produced.<br/><br/>With haste the angel waved a hand over Hillaries leg and within moments it had re-grown, the moment that occured the Angel spoke<br/><br/>"Hillary, some of what the demon speaks is true, what I have done is the limit of what I can do for the moment while in this place, while your focus is as strong as it is. If you had more faith, things may be different, but your loss of it has me waning... Your leg is healled, the foul creature sort to bond you to this location, you are still in the maze, but unmarked, I will disappear within moments, Angels may still heed your call but I will be needed elsewhere, you have to call others"<br/><br/>He then looked about the room.<br/><br/>"I have made your body immune to such markings, but this doesnt free you. Your armour I have blessed, so too your sword and hand that uses it. But now I must go, within hours that creature may find you again. What extra strength I have to give you I have already ... goodbye Hillary, keep faithful no matter what ..."<br/><br/>then the angel started to disappear<br/><br/>"Wait ! ... "<br/><br/>"Keep strong, stay faithful..." and then the angel had disappeared.<br/><br/>Hillary stood and tried her leg, The armor seemed weightless, so too the sword and its motion much more familiar. Blessed ? Maybe, she hoped so.... but she would have preferred the angel back, who wouldnt ?<br/><br/>"Remember Hillay, Angels can come to your aid against those of demonic ilk, beasts however is not our realm of fight, its yours, be strong... " .. then even his voice drifted.<br/><br/>Hillary sat against the wall and cried. She could more easily visualise Archangel Micheal than the others, it was easier to have faith in him, as she was less familiar with the others. She started thinking .. what other archangels were there ? How powerful are the normal angels ? What about trouble that wasnt demonic ? What then ?<br/><br/>
