Chaotic - Fallen Angel (best classic literature TXT) 📗

tried not to. She went in a deep sleep fit for sleeping beauty…
Meanwhile, Eucomis is talking to a phone in a dark passage way underneath Iris’s bunk. “She is safe and well tended to… yes she is very skilled…she is kind and made a blood deal for the other prisoners… medical supplies… she is at the lair where they train assassins…no.”
Now, if Eucomis would press his ear to the ceiling he would hear the very quiet whimpering of Iris as she saw the dream from last night. She was watching as the two people fought one another, but suddenly she went back to the garden and saw that all of the flowers had died. It looked like a graveyard and the flowers no longer sang with the wind, but now they look like fallen angels.
Something urged her on and made her stop at a particular gravestone. It was blank, but it looked like someone sanded it down to look blank. “Do you wander whose name was on that stone my child” said the voice of the woman. Iris nodded in reply. “Look at what you are wearing and listen the words” Iris looked down and saw that she was wearing a beautiful gown, but all she knew was that it was beautiful. She didn’t know if it flowed like silk, what color it was, or if she fit it well. Words were whispered through the air as if it were the last words a person would speak. “Defeat the wicked and greedy. If you fail you tumble into darkness and lose cause the suffering of many. Make a Larkspur mad and you will succeed all the faster…” Iris now knew that the flowers were the ones saying the advice. Then all the flowers turned to dust and floated farther and farther away with the wind.
Iris woke up early so she could cook for everyone. She made nutritious things to boost their strength and stamina. Most people wouldn’t eat the ingredients but she disguised it by putting it in the coffee, milk, waffles, eggs, bacon, and even the syrup. When the noise that woke people up sounded everyone filed into the room. The first thing they registered was the smell then the food and their eyes turned as round as the plates containing the breakfast. Iris thought how she should serve the food and thought better then letting them spoon their own food on plates. The results would be everyone stampeding to get to the food or there would be a humongous mess that she would have to clean up. “Sit down and eat so your food doesn’t get cold” said Iris gently. The people seemed to see that they could eat and rushed to their seats and gratefully stuffed their faces.
At practice for the next few days everyone did very well and Iris trained them. Soon everyone liked her and they started becoming a team. They excelled in everything that was out against them. One day after they finished their obstacle Ms. Hyena came in and seemed to suck all the air out of the room. Iris didn’t know what they were waiting for until Ms. Hyena boomed, “Congratulations everyone, you are now eligible to attend missions. Your first mission will begin tomorrow. You are to be in the palace with the queen and her soldiers. You must be bathed and some people will come in so you can pick what you want to wear. Have a good rest tonight and I’ll see you in the evening.” This shocked everyone so much that they filed out quietly without a word.
That night everyone dreamed of the palace. Some smiled in their sleep others frowned. Iris couldn’t seem to sleep at all. She kept thinking what the queen looked like and would she like her. She had bottled up her feelings so that she could focus on training. As she rose to go to the kitchen for water a hand caught hers. When she turned around she saw that it was the blond hair boy from the first day. “Hello my name’s Caladium. You can’t sleep too?” he babbled at her. Iris gave him reassuring smile and whispered, “Yeah. I guess I’m a little nervous.” She showed a little bit was by spreading her arms out. This caused Caladium to laugh and for Iris to blush just a bit. “You look cute when you blush…” he said. Then he looked like he regretted it
the next minute. “Can I call you Cal?” I said to reassure him. “Sure” he said with the widest grin. The next day everything was a rush. The only big surprise was that they didn’t wear flowing dresses or symmetrical suits. They wore battle equipment and weapons strapped on their waists and backs. On their ride to the palace they saw lands that were twisted and wrinkled, pretty and lit, and just odd. When they stopped they were pushed out forcefully into a battlefield. Iris saw where they were and saw immediately that they were placed in the middle of the two opposing forces in the war. Everyone seemed to want to laugh from the two sides. She got her bearings and saw that there were long steel shields. She lifted her fist to signal them to stop and watch which they did immediately. She signaled the shields and everyone went to take one and immediately formed a semi-sphere. “They tricked us, they wanted us to be tossed into the war and by some time for the queen’s side…”yelled Iris. Her words seemed to spread out so everyone could hear. The two sides did not want to hear this. They could only hear this powerful voice that captivated them. “What we will do is defend ourselves and prove that we can withstand any force” she shouted in reassurance and that earned her shouts that could have scared the thunder.
They then heard the two sides advancing. Something suddenly tugged on Iris and made her look up. It was Eucomis and he said in the calmest voice a person would ever hear, “Come with me…now.” Everyone looked at her to see her reaction. “No” she said simply. Something must have been happening because everyone nodded and the next thing she knew she was flung in front of Eucomis on the horse and was running away. Iris knew she was defeated so she just closed her eyes, leaned on the horse’s neck, rubbed the scared beast, and listened to her comrades fight without her.
The king and queen watched as the girl was forced on the horse and when she sagged in defeat. They could tell that she was the one who encouraged that group to fight back. No matter how much force was applied on the large dome it would not budge. They seemed to know that their leader was not there but they fought all the harder. As the king and queen saw the girl reach the edge of the forest the king realized that they boy was his spy he sent to investigate the Larkspur. What they didn’t know was that Ms. Hyena saw Iris leave also and was on hot pursuit. As the girl and boy were out of sight the queen and king made a sharp breath and in that breath combined with their shocked faces whispered, “Daughter…”
When the horse stopped and Iris opened her tear stung eyes she saw that they were at a quiet pond. She got off the horse taking Eucomis with her. As Eucomis fell with a thud and groan Iris went to the pond followed by the horse. The horse drank water as Iris smoothed his hair. “I’m sorry back there I had…” attempted Eucomis. “What’s his name?” “Thunderbolt.”
“Did someone say thunderbolt?” A sorcerer came out of the forest to the clearing holding a small box in one hand. The Eucomis made a defense pose in front of her. Iris felt herself forgive the red haired boy just a little bit for what he did. “What do you want” growled Eucomis. “I admire your bravery out there in the field Iris and I have come here to give you a gift. It is magical and will do whatever you want it to if you ask. Now please except it.”, said the sorcerer ignoring Eucomis. Iris came up and accepted the box. She opened it immediately to reveal a beautiful blue stone necklace that made her feel calm. “Ah, the stones affects is already helping you. It seems to like you quite a bit.” said the sorcerer with an approving smile. “Can you help me wear it” said Iris as she gave it to the sorcerer and turned around. Iris felt soft gentle hands put the necklace on her and when she turned around he disappeared.
Suddenly the ground shook and they were tossed in the air and when they opened their eyes they were back in the center of the two sides. Iris saw that she was stared down by Ms. Hyena and all of her comrades tied to metal stands to get whipped. She closed her eyes and thought about what to do…
“Don’t touch her Hyena” snarled Queen Acacia. “You know that she is my daughter” said Acacia desperately. That was accepted with a shocked gasp from everyone. “If you dare lay a finger on my daughter I will tear you to shreds Hyena” threatened King Snapdragon. This received even more gasps. “Ms. Hyena, I want to make a blood deal” Iris said calmly standing to face her. “What are your terms” she asked with venom. “If I win you have to let them free.” “Okay, I except your terms. If I win I will be the future ruler of the fairies and humans”, replied Ms. Hyena with a smug look on her face. “I accept you terms and conditions”
They then each chose their weapons. Ms. Hyena chose a wicked piece of metal that barely resembled a sword. When Iris chose her necklace Ms. Hyena laughed. Iris brought the necklace to her lips and whispered “help me.” She was instantly was equipped with a sword and armor. What the audience noticed that the princess looked even more beautiful in her white armor. Iris held her sword with it facing inward so when she held it standing up it pointed upward instead of downward. Ms. Hyena laughed at her posture and said, “The sword is supposed to be held in a fist with your thumb on the side of the blade not the other way around.”
Iris just waited for Ms. Hyena to advance, but she didn’t have to wait long since she Ms. Hyena was already charging. Iris jumped at the last second and flipped to Ms. Hyena’s back. When Ms. Hyena turned to face her opponent and opened her mouth and shut it again. She looked down and saw the blood oozing from the gash in her left leg. Her face turned red with rage and charged once more. “What would you do with all that power?” said Iris as she dodged her battlers swing and sliced her again. The woman howled in pain, but continued charging. “Please stop, we don’t have to do this” offered Iris. Every move Ms. Hyena made Iris dodged and made another gash. “Let’s do it the easy way not the hard one, okay.” suggested Iris. “I want the hard way” shouted Ms. Hyena in determination. “I stole you so this day would come where I would rule. I knew your pathetic parents would cause a war for your sake. They are so predictable and so are you”, she hollered as she brought the blade down.
Iris caught it with the palm of her left hand. The blade seemed to be terrified of Iris’s skin. The audience watched as Iris’s suit slowly curled with red swirls. She seemed to change also. She became a
