Lady Jane, the Archangel

By: Robert Smith

Her radiant beauty and aura shine brightly around her as she flies to do battle with all the forces of darkness. Her blue-green eyes shine, as her lavishing brown hair flows gently over her shoulders. There is a set of beautiful crystalline armor on her body and a long thin sword in her right hand. In her left hand she holds a crucifix, that symbolizes her great devotion. The long thin sword glows brightly and pulses slowly as it emits light from the blade. Her large wings of pure white feathers shine gently into the darkness. Her halo, the largest one out of all the Angels and Archangels, shows the power of her love. She is the great Archangel, Lady Jane.
She clashes with the forces of darkness, Angels with black torn up wings under the power and influence of Satan. She spins and slashes with a zealous fury, slicing down Angel after Angel. Her aura glowing brightly as she fights to get through the wall that they seem to form. Finally, after she gets through the mass of Fallen Angels, she sees her objective. It is a small boy tied to a cross. Nails have punctured his hands and feet, but are no longer there. His face is beaten and blood is dripping from his nose and mouth, but his hope has made him strong enough to survive the torture. He is has become the Stigmata, and her son, Sir Robert. She can feel his pain and suffering, but can also feel some hope inside, as she approaches him.
As she continues towards him, she feels something on her leg. It tightens, and she feels it pull back, as she is stopped in mid-air. She turns her head to look down at her foot, her hair swirling around as she does. She looks to see what stopped her. It is a tentacle of pure necromantic energy wrapped around her ankle. She raises her sword and slices down at it, the glow of her sword easily penetrating the darkness and severing the tentacle.
She quickly flies of towards the boy, beating her wings as hard as she can. She knows that the ultimate evil, Satan, is right behind her. She can feel the death and despair flowing from his mouth trying to persuade her over to the darkness. She puts his words out of her mind, immediately, and continues to fly on. When she reaches the boy she quickly takes out her sword and with one motion severs the ropes that bind him. As he starts to fall she picks him up putting one arm under his neck and another under his kneecaps. She then flies up towards the light that is within the darkness.
As she flies towards the light she can feel the creature of pure evil behind her. She finally is within a few feet of it when she feels something grapple her leg once more, but this time pulling with more strength and evil. She flaps her wings as hard as she can, to try and escape its grasp, but finds her strength dwindling. As she weakens being powered by nothing except for hope, she cries out her final words, "Meo Filio!" With that she thrusts the boy's body up into the air and watches as it enters the light. Then, as she now knows her son is safe she lets the tentacles drag her into the darkness, extinguishing her light and soul forever. The darkness may have beaten her soul and body, but her hope lives on in another. For this other has heard her last and final words. And somewhere this young man, that heard the words, has now grown as her successor and will soon face the darkness himself. And when he does, he will always remember his mother's last words, "Meo Filio!"
