Seal of Light - Enlightened novel Chapter 28

For the past 2 days, Rain stayed inside a quiet room for hours meditating and focusing her training on maximizing the use of her healing techniques. She would do some quick breaks to see John and Summer and join them during meals. John was still convincing Rain not to go. He insisted that their family is the most important thing and the only priority they need to care about at the moment.

Rain's decision to join the war breaks her own heart, but she has sworn an oath to the alliance of Carriers of the Seal. She knew that she would be helping more aside from her own family.

The time has come for her to leave, she took a few while to sit beside Summer's bed. Rain kissed Summer's cheeks and gave her a big warm hug.

"Goodnight Mommy," Summer whispered.

"Goodnight my baby Summer," Rain replied.

A tear fell from Rain. Summer noticed it a touched her mother's face.

"Mommy, are you crying?"

Rain replied with a smile, but that moment is the hardest for her. This is what she would miss if you won't get back from the war. Summer has no idea that her mother is leaving that night. Rain kept on brushing Summer's hair with her own finger until her daughter fell asleep. Rain left the room with a broken heart.

Rain entered the master's bedroom where John was sitting on a chair next to their bed.

"Please Rain, if I could do anything to stop you...."

"Don't speak as if I'm not coming back John, I will get back to you and Summer."

Rain kissed John and then gave him a very tight hug.

"I will stay up for awhile, just in case you change your mind and come back immediately."

John watched Rain as she lies down to bed and prepare herself to sleep.

"This is not goodbye John, It's just 'see you later'. "

John sighed, he gave Rain a really weary look.

John watched and waited until Rain falls asleep.

Rain's last thought was the face of her husband John Eve and their daughter Summer Eve.

It slowly faded away, turning everything into white.

The next thing she knew, she was travelling, she was like flying in this void. She found herself covered with endless veins of living light. This light covered and supported her travel, giving her this weightless feeling.

The veins begin to disentangle itself from Rain.

Coming from above, Rain saw that she was heading to this island. This radiating light protected her skin from burning. At was a matter of seconds before she landed safely on the ground.

Rain stood as the radiation faded away. She was now wearing this ancient battle medic uniform, similar to an Asian ethnic wear for medics with protective chainmail and leather pads.

"Hello Rain, just in time for battle." Lily greeted.

Rain nodded in response while looking at her elder sister who was wearing the same battle uniform, only with a darker shade in color.

Rain wandered her sight with the congregation of Carriers surrounding her.

On the outer circle of their group, there were several human formed light floating around them. Rain looked closer and saw that they were angels, these angels were holding weapons made of pure light.

The sky opened a whirling portal, three more angels descended to join their party. They appeared much bigger than those who are already in the group. They are the archangels who will lead the army of angels and Carriers of the Seal to intercept the Rogue Outcast Demons.

"I thought there were four demonlords on the way, how come there were only three archangels sent." Asked by Sai, the youngest member of the group.

"One angel among these on the ground is as much level of an archangel, looks like someone's gonna get a promotion after the this war," Navi'Fang replied.

"One archangel will be assigned per Demonlord, the fourth one will be for the Carriers to take, and we will be assisted by the other angels." The head priestess Harunaya said.
