Chapter 36.
The dark plasma pulsed its strange light between the huge columns, covering the exquisite carvings and hieroglyphs with a constant shower of magnificent blue light.
Am-heh paced his small plasma cage, snarling and growling with each step. Amaunet and the others ignored him and headed towards the staircase of forty two stairs.
Halting her friends abruptly, Amaunet could sense something was not quite right, feeling a mad fury raging beneath where she stood.
From out of nowhere an icy wind whipped down the great stairway and swirled around the dark room. Her pure heart froze, an immense power was coming towards them, it was filled with Divine evil, moving like an enraged wind, whipping in and out of the stone columns.
“GET BACK!.” Amaunet yelled to her friends. She saw Raijen from the corner of her eye grab Maia by the arm and throw her slight body to the stone at their feet.
The Goddess of Obscurity forced her tremendous wings to her sides, the sapphire in each irises darkened to eternal oceans of near blackness. Her Chaos raging inside her, the sleek rib under her breast scalded like ice under her pale flesh, splintering shards of light through her spirit, filling her with dark strength.
The invisible evil embodied the entire chamber before swarming back up the grand staircase and vanishing into the tunnels.
Amaunet looked back at her friends, they all lay flat on the floor, however they were all uninjured.
Without a word, Amaunet flew up the huge staircase and down the long tunnel, heading straight up the shaft, back out of the claustrophobia and into the sweet nights air.
Skidding onto the sand outside the trapdoor, scanning her surroundings, Amaunet searched for the evil that had just terrified her and her friends.
Forcing her wings down by her sides, the Chaos rippled through her magnificence and she shot like a bullet up into the cool air, not worrying for a second that it was forbidden to fly on any other planet but Azure-Alkun, she simply did not care.
Fear gripped her core, needing more than life itself to keep her friends from harm, needing to protect what was left of all the beautiful Otamian’s.
Hovering above the mighty pyramid, Amaunet could see the long Nile snaking from the delta, its enraged water glistened in the distance, slithering its way slowly into oblivion.
Catching the foul Gods evil scent, she shattered towards the great river, flying at break neck speed. Nearing the angry Nile, a swirl of thin water rose from its mighty stream, twisting and twirling its way up towards the oppressive grey clouds that curiously observed from above.
Now landing upon the red banks, Amaunet watched in horror as the spout grew rapidly, multiplying in size and swelling incredibly before her very eyes.
Fat drops of water flung out from the monstrous spout, slicing her pale flesh with ease. An ear shattering noise roared from the swirling madness, the malicious God was growing inside it, filling the water around him with revulsion and hate.
Amaunet now knew who this corrupt soul was, knowing exactly why Chaos had banished him many moons before, never to set foot inside the perpetual twilight of Azure-Alkun again. Arawn had been lucky, it had been the first time he’d sinned and Chaos showed him dark mercy, banishing him to the endless darkness on Azure-Alkun.
Stunned, Amaunet watched in quiet awe, Arawn became one with the water, spinning from the twisters huge core and smashed headlong into her flawless soul, pouring into her lungs and drowning her from within.
Her life shifted amid the repulsion, trying to move, desperate for Earths sweet air, nevertheless only water poured within her. She couldn’t cough, nor push the water from her lungs, Arawn was too strong, his power perplexing.
Dropping to her knees, water poured into the exquisite Goddess, feeding into her very essence from the the dark water of the Nile, Its fury consuming every inch of her essence as pale death swum amid her soul, knocking violently on Chaos’s door.

With neither a second to blink nor breathe, Mieli thrust her wings behind her and dissolved into the hot dark tunnels, making her way closer to the Earths surface.
It was like a maze under the tremendous pyramid, beginning to fear she had turned the wrong way, feeling her new human emotions absorbed amidst her essence, crushing her bones against her heart, squeezing the air from her lungs.
Terror loomed at every turn, the sense of foreboding tried to tip her over the edge, the Death Angel’s bones shivered under her heated flesh, dark fear rippling with vile revulsion throughout her. She was crushed with a sudden suffocating panic, she did not know which tunnel led to the surface
Arawn had to be stopped at all costs, Mieli did not fear death, yet she was terrified of suffocating under Mother Earth, panicking, she did not want to be crushed for all eternity by her immense core. Not understanding these strange sensations and emotions, they had flooded her since first landing on the unique blue world, frustrated and furious with the intensity of these new feelings, although in awe of the devastating beauty that had possessed her whole being.
She was a Death Angel, a cruel harbinger of Chaos. Mieli had never known love or fear, Chaos had created her for one purpose, that purpose was never meant for her to feel, nor love, but only to kill.
She did not fear death, yet now.... quickly Mieli brushed these foolish thoughts to one side. She was akin to a human assassin, doing any biddings that Chaos asked of her, never giving mercy to the evil that lay bleeding at her feet, never once feeling any regret or sorrow for the fetid souls she had stolen.
Mieli shook the unease from her core, forcing all the dread into the pure Divine part of her essence, smashing it out through the claustrophobia. She again started to move, her total focus now back on Arawn, not to her weak human feelings and desires.
Sweet air swelled in from above her, finally the Death Angel shattered into the sweetness, darting amid the soft darkness and gulping in the pure air, letting it seep into her Divine blood and pour amongst her rare soul.
Utter dread spilled straight through Earth’s atmosphere, pushing the dark storm clouds down low, spreading them over the outraged river to conceal the Chaos below.
Mieli heard an earth shattering roar, it came from the bottom of the dark Nile’s waters. Instantly she shot into the air, flying straight towards the horrific sound, keeping low under the clouds that constantly tried to smother her.
The sight that rose before the Death Angel was astonishing. An insane water spout wound its way high into the dark clouds, feeding the light gases an eternal flow of destruction.
Lighting smashed into the sands, it was so close to Mieli she heard the enormous thunder-crack it produced at the same instant it hit the ground, thrown backwards with the ferocity, smashing through the icy rain that now fell from the insanity above.
She saw her then, spying the enigmatic blue glow through the sheets of cold rain. The great Goddess still held breath, Mieli had not known until this moment if Amaunet was even still alive, but she could see her light, though it was fading fast.
Mieli was by her side in seconds, gasping out in sheer horror and pain for her Goddess.
Amaunet was drowning on the sands of Otamia. The giant twister was feeding the dark liquid of the Nile into her core, Arawn was forcing the great torrent into her entire being.
The wicked God held the Alzphaeta Diamond as he wielded the water around him, thrusting his foul body up between the waters depths.
Dark shadows swarmed around Mieli whilst the icy wind picked up tiny flecks of red sand at her feet.
Letting the rage in, allowing it to flow, she opened her darkness to death, letting him trespass all over her soul and blacken her heart with each step.
The dark Angel became pure death, bursting forward, spreading her magnificent wings to the heavens, the darkness dripping over her black feathers, shadowing their true wondrous shape.
Black eerie shadows ran down Mieli’s copper flesh, streaking her skin with deaths fury. The silver of her eyes became a hectic mess of vicious madness, tearing into the dark waters of the Nile.
Flying into the spinning madness, Mieli smashed her terror into Arawn’s hateful soul, filling him with her unwavering rage.
Sheer darkness moved within, turning to liquid, consuming the gigantic water spout, screaming and spinning wildly into the murky waters, instantly shattering its mighty form.
The enraged river crashed back down into her sandy bed, sendings waves of freezing cold water colliding on her shores.
Arawn was flung high above the furious Nile and smashed into her great depths, swallowing his rancid flesh, sucking him down, crushing his lungs, his mind and his soul.
Mieli spun in a whirlwind of black liquid, her anguish and hate had embodied her flesh. Slipping into the Niles murky waters, she flowed into the smooth undulating currents, following Arawn’s vile heart deep down to the jagged rocks below, desperate to snatch his soul, Arawn needed to go to hell, nothing else in this moment mattered, only Arawn’s cruel murder.
The darkness consumed Mieli, spinning further under the deep waters, Arawn beneath her, churning below the black waves, gagging on its icy depths.
Finally she reached ten foul God and ripped inside his foulness, slamming through his soul and gripped his charred heart in her small deadly hands, crushing the black tarry pool into nothingness. His rotten core desperately trying to latch onto all of Mieli as it drowned in the mighty rivers unyielding depths.
Arawn’s sinister evil seeped deep into her soul, allowing his vile feet to tread amid her dark purity, staining her spirit and her mind. The dark Angel of Death grabbed hold of his wicked soul and caged it within her own until she could reach Chaos and take his rotten spirit to hell.
The mighty Nile roared, churning into complete madness, not containing the pure evil that now merged with her murky depths, purging the darkness from her, spewing many tonnes of black water onto the red sands of Otamia.
The enraged water swelled around her and Arawn, lifting them into the air and slamming them deep back into the dark rivers harsh bed.
