I see things episode 15 still continues....... Mr. A***, oblivious to what was happening behind him, still maintained a death grip on my throat, I started seeing little dots of bright lights as my brain struggled for oxygen. Nina spread her wings and I was amazed at how Mr A*** didn’t notice the dazzling brightness that shone through the dusty and gloomy parlour that had been serving as our spiritual battleground. Her wings beat once, twice, and I felt Chuks the stronger within me feeding off the light with a joyous laughter. My head no longer hurt, my eyes became clear, but I was still in Mr. A***’s grip. And then Nina suddenly opened her eyes. They were a dazzling blue, and so bright I couldn’t see her eyeballs. She took in what was happening and then her face contorted with rage. I raised my hand and pointed feebly behind Mr A****. He looked at my finger and laughed. “Really? You want me to look back kwa? At what? Are you seeing your demise?” I continued to point, slightly alarmed at the apparition I was seeing although deep within me I knew I had nothing to fear. Mr. A**** was still laughing and maintaining his grip when I guess he saw the reflection of Nina in my eyes because suddenly his countenance changed. Surprise and fright mixed together to form a pot-pourri of emotion on his face. He let go of me and quickly turned around. His mouth hung open as he saw what I had been pointing at. “What is this?” He looked back at me in surprise, “What did you do?!” I raised both hands in bewilderment, and Mr. A*** turned back to face the angel. “Whatever you are, you cannot be stronger than me!” he shouted at her. “I operate in various cults and have stolen powers beyond your imagination! Bow your knees little girl, and yield to my powers!” Okay. Honestly I wouldn’t have done that. I wouldn’t have talked to an angel like that. It’s true that they are messengers but they can be pretty no- nonsense -like when they want to be. Nina stood there, blue light coming out of her eyes, her hair alight in blue flame, and a sword I hadn’t seen earlier materializing in her left hand, and this man was trying to shout her down. I slowly took a few steps away from his vicinity. I had seen Pachios angry on one or two occasions and the events that followed hadn’t been pretty. Mr. A*** decided that shouting wasn’t foolhardy enough and went on to launch an attack. With a mighty yell he pointed his winged talon at Nina and her waist constricted as something invisible gripped it. Mr A**** shouted triumphantly and – Nina grabbed whatever was around her waist and pulled and before I knew what was happening a dismembered leather wing was flapping uselessly on the floor. It had happened so quicky I don’t think Mr A*** felt any pain. We both watched the taloned leathery wing flap about a bit more and then it turned to ashes and disappeared. Nina stretched out her hand, as if summoning the second wing, and it wrenched itself off of Mr A**** and came to her hands where she stabbed it to the floor with her sword. It too turned to ash and disappeared. That was when Mr A**** started screaming. He conjured up another gold chain and flung it at her and she caught it deftly. It wrapped itself round her wrist but even as it did so it began to sizzle and melt and soon it fell off by itself, burning to a liquid substance and vanishing as well. Nina pointed her sword at him and all his spiritual regalia caught fire and he screamed even louder as he burned along with it. He struggled and squirmed and tried to run out of the room but couldn’t find the door in his pain and confusion. He kept on screaming “Fire! Fire!!!” and for the first time I thought somebody would hear us outside. Finally he crumpled down on the floor and remained there trembling; a shivering mess, left in nothing but his French suit and even that was physically shredded. I watched all of this in awe and silence. Nina walked over to him and when he saw her coming he lay flat and prostrate on the floor. To be continued..........
