The last scenes they saw before their visions darkened were the unknown female Angel running to the dead body of the golden haired man and kneeling before it. They had seen that she was crying, wailing and weeping, for the death of the golden haired man by his own brother.
Right from the starting of the fight between the two Angel brothers, they knew that the female Angel with purple wings,was present.
They knew that she was watching the fight, right from the darkest and deepest corners of the large room. She watched the fight, she witnessed what had led to the fight.
She witnessed the death of the golden haired man.
Whoever the female Angel with purple wings was, Drake and Lucian made sure to keep her in memory. They may not have been able to keep her face in memory, but they could recognize her purple wings anywhere they saw it.
Seeing the two stone tablets where the said Jaden had sealed the two glowing orbs into and the swirling red portal he had left behind,both Drake and Lucian were both confused on the plans of the golden haired man's brother.
Then adding to the last scenes they had witnessed, words had mysteriously started forming on the two stone tablets,which confused them even more.
The crying and weeping female Angel had seen the words forming on the two stone tablets.
She seemed to have hope on her tear streaked face as if she understood the words on the two stone tablets, which Drake and Lucian clearly did not understand.
Then, the two stone tablets,in which Jaden had sealed the two glowing orbs suddenly vanished into the red swirling portal, heightening their confusion.
But lastly before their visions darkened, both Drake and Lucian had heard the promise the crying and weeping female Angel had made.
"Because of this newly written prophecy, I'll bring you back. I'll do everything I can to bring my friend back and Jaden, will be punished for this evil he has committed".
Hearing the crying promise of the female Angel over the dead body of the golden haired man and his dead sword, their visions finally darkened.

Lucian Pov...
My eyes fluttered open with the familiar throbbing headache of my head.
My unique senses were able to discover that I was lying on something soft and quite high from the ground.
With the twitching of my ears, I was able to hear sounds, extremely loud ones but I couldn't recognize or pinpoint anything. Slowly and miraculously,my visions started to come to my seeings, shadows that seemed to be moving around me were the first things I saw, followed by the throbbing headache.
I groaned clearly annoyed at the throbbing headache that seemed to scatter and reform my brain.
"Edwin! Drake's waking up. How about Lucian?"
That was the first voice I was able to pinpoint. It was loud and childish and I was sure,it was Josh, Drake's supposed best friend.
"Lucian's waking up too. Thank goodness they are both okay".
That should have been Edwin, Drake's bodyguard.
"Edwin..... Where am I?"
I asked when my visions came to light and I could properly see Edwin's body looming over me. My voice was kinda rasp.
"Oh! Boy, Lucian you're okay. Both you and Drake got me really worried, but that's all good now. Besides, you're in a stretcher. We were about taking you to the hospital. The ambulance and the police are here".
@@@
It was already 4 pm. Both Drake and Lucian had finally regained conciousness after seemingly falling unconscious when they had finished healing Edwin's leg.
Both Drake and Lucian had also woken up on different stretchers that were about taking them into the ambulance and rushing them to the hospital.
If not for both their refusals of not wanting to be taken to the hospital and their insistence on being fine,by now,they would have been in the ambulance taking them to the hospital.
Currently, about four police cars were in the vicinity plus the hospital ambulance. The whole vicinity where the ambush had taken place were sealed with yellow tapes that clearly stated; Do not cross.
A small crowd of the locals had gathered around,plus different reporters who have wanted to catch a good side of the story.
The police as always, were investigating the dead bodies of the thugs and some dead bodies were already identified and being covered in white cloths.
Some NBI agents were present in the ambush vicinity. They were taking photos of the dead bodies of the thugs.
They whole area looked exactly like a crime scene in which the police would be relatively investigating the crime in the crime scene.
While the whole area was surrounded by people,both reporters and the locals, Drake and Lucian were behind the crowd of people. They both sat at the edge of the road close to the towering woods of Acrata, more like the woods being behind them.
While the police and the NBI were probably investigating and taking pictures of the whole ambush scene, both Drake and Lucian had excused themselves and were now sitting at the edge of the road.
"So, what now?"
Drake asked, sitting quite comfortably at the roadside.
"We go out seperate ways".
Lucian said flatly, gazing at the little crowd of people that were viewing the ambush scene and clearly making comments among themselves.
Actually, apart from his mother, he hasn't really seen such plenty humans before.
Drake, quite not getting the meaning of Lucian's straight answer, looked directly at Lucian's face. "What about seeing each other again?... I would like us to meet quite often and become friends".
Lucian turned his gaze to look directly at Drake. Amusement, clearly settling in his blue eyes. Drake noticed the amusement but only hardened his features with hope glowing in his red eyes. Lucian sighed heavily.
"I'm sorry Drake. We come from different worlds entirely.... and we had only met under the circumstance of you and your friend getting ambushed. Meeting again and becoming friends is out of the picture,cause, I don't know when next my mother would allow me out of the house".
Drake, hearing Lucian's words was a lot saddened by the inevitable truth. They had both met only by luck and fate and Drake doesn't want to leave Lucian's side, especially the fact that he feels really drawn to Lucian.
"But...but, I want us to be friends since we've both awakened spirituality and heavenly conciousness".
Drake pressed on, his eyes pleading with Lucian for them to meet again after their whole earlier ordeal. He looked undeniably cute, his pink lips pulsed and his red hair,no longer tyed in a ponytail but loosened, were softly fluttering around by the breeze.
"We shouldn't really be disturbing ourselves about meeting again, Drake. What we should be worried about,is the vision,we both saw".
Drake, knowing that Lucian was right, could only sigh. His gaze moving downward, to the road and his mind going distant. He sighed,a lot more of a frustrated sigh.
For once the two didn't look like kids, but like adults.
"If you say so. But even though, what if we actually meet in the future?"
"That depends on fate itself".
Lucian said, looking upward to the sun that was almost setting.
"But speaking of the vision, what are we gonna do about it?"
Drake asked, taking his gaze to Lucian's face, clearly searching for answers on Lucian's face.
"We have to find out what it means and we can only do that by investigating the facts".
"Could it actually be our destiny that had resulted us in seeing that vision? Plus, how are we going to find out what the visions mean if we are not going to be seeing each other?"
Lucian turned his gaze from the sky and settled it on Drake. One of his beautiful eyebrows moving up slightly.
"I don't think our destinies are tied to the reasons of us seeing that vision. My guess is, it's fate's doing. Also, I recommend that we both do our separate findings in order to carve out the meaning of the vision and.....if perhaps.....we meet again in the future, we'll both relate our findings to each other"
Drake placed his finger on his chin,a habit he had suddenly started getting used to, especially when he is contemplating on something serious.
"I agree with your decision. Finding out the meaning of that vision is what's important, even though, I really want to see you again".
Drake said, clearly saddened. Lucian,then placed a hand of encouragement on Drake's back, giving Drake an eeriely strange warmth.
"Don't worry Drake. I'm sure fate would surely have it's way and we will meet again!"
Lucian encouraged, making Drake to turn to him with hopeful red eyes that spoke of something deeper... something deeper than just friendship.
"You're sure?"
Drake asked, waiting for a reassurance. Lucian nodded.
"I'm deadly sure . Well meet again, Drake. Just have hope".
Lucian said, his voice soft as ever and Drake didn't even know when he burst into tears.
The two, for some unknown reason, immediately hugged each other, drowning in the strange bond and connection,they both felt.
Josh was standing not far from them. He saw the emotional scene between the two children and he didn't know when he smiled. He noticed the closeness between the two, quite long ago. To him, Drake had finally made a friend apart from him. He therefore turned around as he was being interviewed by some crew of reporters, waiting to get information about the ambush, to pass to the public.
Both Drake and Lucian disengaged from their, quite strange emotional hug. They stared at each other, a new resolution glowing in their eyes.
"Anyways. What fact are you going to be investigating?"
Drake asked as he clearly caught Lucian off guard by the question.
Lucian contemplated seriously for a bit before answering.
"About the vision entirely, I'll try to find out more about the Angels especially the golden haired Angel. I guess that the golden haired Angel could actually be the Angel of War".
