House Of Legions (The Angel Descendants book 1) novel Chapter 24

Caidrian breathed soundly, “Fine. Quick history lesson, about 3000 bc, there was a planet with life on it, famously known as Venusta, now it’s just a ball of rock, which deceptors call Venus.”

Clare interrupted, as she screeched, “So I’m an alien”

Chuckling at her expression, he shook his head, “Not quite, before humans, Adonai, created Venusians. They once lived on earth before the first reckoning, but only a few of them who were worthy got sent to another planet to continue their legacy.” When he saw her mouth open, he cut her off, “Na ah, just listen.’’

She half smiled and nodded, “Venusian people were superior to humans, they have perfected versions, masters of all arts, guardians of the realms, their technology and infrastructure was advanced. But they were the most god-fearing of all creation, so much so that an Angel became jealous at Adonai’s affection for them, and in a fit of rage, he opened a portal, allowing demons to enter. It wasn't long before Venus became riddled with demons, so the Venusians decided to seek shelter on another planet, but the demons saw through their plan and destroyed Venus by flooding it with water, killing all but 100 soldiers, who were locked underground. Most of whom survived were royalty.” He paused,

“Now you must understand that in Venus the strongest of soldiers were always women, they were the leaders, so with only enough metal and blue energy for one ship they sent 50 of the strongest woman to seek their ancestral planet called earth. When they landed on earth 3000 years before Christ, they found human beings, instead of killing them, they decided to try and teach the humans to be civilized so they may grow as a species. The Venusian women noticed the humans were very similar to them, so they taught them language, farming, and sewing, but after just a few years of peace, came the Tempters and their demons.

The Venusians knew they couldn’t defeat them without the help of the Angels, so they summoned two Angels, they begged the Angels for help but they refused and left. The Angels said the humans needed to be destroyed, they were the first to call them deceptors. The Angels said it was not their fight, but as time went the women fought the demons, dying by their cursed blades, dooming them for eternity.”

Caidrian stopped, but Clare was still trying to absorb what Caidrian had already told her, she looked at him with raised eyebrows, her expression that of shock,

“Well, are you going to tell me what happened?”
