Chapter 11: The Mason
The Valiard. A being of immense power prophesied to bring down the Silver City. A warrior, a bloodlust filled beast forgotten by time itself. The old Gods, the beings who created the Universe. Asara, Eberos, Gaderial, and God, each of them had foreseen the terror of the Valiard. Each one seen the power that could be unleashed should it return. So the last act they did was made a solemn oath to never create beings more powerful then the archangels. Should they ever do so that could mean certain doom for them all. That much was certain, and 𝒘𝒆 all agreed.
Gabriel woke up in a hospital bed, his clothes thrown to the side and all the lights in the room dimmed. The low buzzing of the lights could be heard and he instantly felt the pain in his various cuts. As he moved his arms were caught against the restraints he was in and he grunted. Looking around for anyone to help him. "Hello? I need some help here!" He shouted out as a slither of fear warped across his mind. The fallen angel shivered as his breathing increased, small goosebumps falling across his body. A small gust of wind blew across the room from Gabriel's right, along with a sound of flapping wings. As Gabriel turned his head slowly, his jaw would clench.
A figure clad in a black suit and red shirt stood several feet away from him. The man would be leaning against an open window a cigarette in his scorched hand. The light in the room threw dark shadows along the man's face, or perhaps it was just the way he looked. "Gabriel." The man said in greeting his voice almost a hiss. As he turned his gaunt face, roughly shaved, was illuminated slightly. His eyes glowing a light tinge of red as they met Gabriel's. The fallen angel shivered as the voice slithered throughout the room, the power behind that single word would send most into insanity. He'd utter no word in response simply staring at the remnant of his long forgotten sibling. Disheveled by the years of living within the darkness.
"What are you doing here?" An barely audible question which escaped the fallen angels lips, as he lay completely still, not daring to move an inch. Not daring to let him feel the fear. It was all in vain however, as the figure smiled. A cold smile with no other features of happiness. He'd take a long drag of his cigarette before touching the end with his finger, putting it out completely. "Here? Where do you think you are brother dear. Safe within the hospice of the mortal realm. No. You are in my domain. Surprised you don't remember it." The gaunt man would say as he dropped his cigarette, walking over to Gabriel. It was only now that the fallen angel could truly see what had become of his brother.
The once handsome man, described as the light-bringer, was but a shallow imitation now. His dark features surveyed Gabriel, as he towered over him both in height and sheer power. The eyes of Tartarus itself peered into Gabriel's soul. "Pathetic really, that you'd end up here. Then again the old man never was one for the rebellious ones." He'd continue, clicking his fingers causing the restraints to pop off his brothers arms. Gabriel would remain silent slowly rising up, the damage dealt due to his fight with Azrael had taken much out of him, and clearly being here had not dampened that. "So he's finally decided to do it has he?" The gaunt man would ask the smile still on his face. "The great Fall he has so wanted ever since my betrayal." He'd finish his eyes fixated on Gabriel. The fallen angel would furrow his brow, "What is it? Tell me! I only have a week to stop it!" He'd say his voice rising to a shout as he with much effort slid into a sitting position.
The gaunt man would smile, "It's the end of the angels brother. A restart of massive proportions that I wish you had time to listen to, its a shame you're but a visitor here." As Gabriel opened his mouth to retort, to further question his brother, he blinked. But when his eyes opened he wasn't in the hospital bed. He was in a gurney, as he stared up he saw hospital lights zoom past. Several people in scrubs pushing him along a corridor. The far away voices of the doctors, the pleading of Dowling, and the Captain. He heard Jane, and he saw her too. Tears in her eyes as she ran behind the gurney he was on. He blinked again. It felt as if he dropped back into the hospital bed he was previously on then. He groaned as his arm went to grab the side of the bed for support. His brother would stand watching him curiously. "You're fading in and out little brother, you aren't fully dead yet up there," The gaunt man would say matter of factly, as he turned towards the window and walked over to it. "I know what you seek Gabriel. Should you return here, I will not be as kind." He'd say turning his head. His blood red wings erupting as he finished.
"Samael" Gabriel would say just as his brother was about to leave, causing the Lord of Hell to turn his head towards him. A look of pure disgust on his face. "I've missed you." The fallen angel would say truthfully.

Lucifer would smile slightly, but it disappeared quickly. "It was good to see you, but my threat stands. Call me that again or come here without permission, and I will destroy you." With that he'd wrap his wings around him before jumping out the window and disappearing. Then Gabriel blinked. The blaring sound of machines monitoring his vitals entered his ears, his vision was blurry as he tried to focus on a single aspect of what was in front of him. Yet he couldn't. The distant voices would cut off. The colours in front of him being hidden by a bright light. The machines never stopping in the background. He tried to remember how he got here. His mind frantic. His body in pain. He closed his eyes. Blocked out his senses. He remembered.
He was in the back of the ambulance, right after his fight with Azrael. Right after Myer's did what he did. "Don't worry..." Dowling would say, as Gabriel watched him close the doors. As he turned Gabriel noticed a slight smile on the side of his face, "We have plenty to talk about...starting with," Dowling would say sitting opposite him. Their eyes meeting for the moment. "What the hell you are Myers." The fallen angel would raise an eyebrow. "What am I?" He'd say, trying to see just how much he knew. Dowling scoffed. "Don't play dumb with me. I know when someone is just too good for their own good and I sure as hell know you aren't human Myers. What are you? Shapeshifter? A lone Nachzehrer?" Dowling would reaffirm as he watched Gabriel. The fallen angel would once again raise an eyebrow. Shapeshifter he could let pass but the mention of a Nachzehrer was surprising. They were hellspawn known to feast on human blood, and hunt in packs. Most would call them vampires and Gabriel had assumed the name had died out. Yet Dowling seemed to have an intimate knowledge of things he shouldn't.
"A Nachzehrer? I haven't heard someone use that name in a long time. How do you know it Stuart?" Gabriel would say, answering the question with a question. The detective would chuckle bringing out a small knife, clearly steel. A metal which was lethal to many of Hellspawn, Nachzehrer included. "Okay okay! I'm no Nachzehrer, cut my arm if you don't believe me." Gabriel would say offering his arm to the detective who hesitantly took it and sliced across it causing blood to seep out. Gabriel would groan in pain slightly. "Happy? Now how do you know about Hellspawn?" The fallen angel would say grabbing the cut and holding it. Stuart Dowling, who'd aimed the knife ready to throw as soon as he cut Gabriel, lowered the blade slowly. He'd then put it away, slowly rolling up his sleeve to reveal a tattoo on his upper arm. It displayed a square and compass overlapping slightly. "You're a freemason." Gabriel would say upon seeing it. "I've come across you lot before, Master Mason Revere was a good friend." He'd continue, which would result in a scoff from Dowling.
"As in Master Mason 𝘗𝘢𝘶𝘭 Revere? The one that died in the eighteen hundreds? What the hell are you? Not many things can live a few centuries." The detective would say, rolling down his sleeve and watching Gabriel who would sigh. Being a mason meant Dowling was one of the few people who would have known about angels on Earth. "I'm an angel...or used to be. Not anymore." He would say truthfully, causing Stuart's eyes to widen. "An angel? As in the one the prophets spoke about? This explains a lot about you Myer's. Including how you're not dead...and if you're fallen then that cut I just gave you won't heal. Here." Dowling would reach into his pouch and bring out a small red plant. "It's a Zamonia flower, minor healing properties. Rub it along the cut it should seal before this lot find it." Gabriel would nod, rubbing the plant against the cut on his arm and to his surprise he watched it slowly begin to close up. Stuart would smile, "You mentioned the prophets, you knew about them?" Gabriel would say and the detective would nod. "I was surprised when Jane wanted them investigated...hey does she know...you know?"
"Yeah, I told her a few years ago." Gabriel would respond, "So what was the mason's connection to the prophets?" Clearly probing to find out if Stuart knew something he didn't, and the detective seemed more then happy to help. "They fed us some of their visions, so we could warn our charters and we kept them aware of any monsters we came across" He'd say matter of factly. "After they proclaimed their final prophesy to you, the masons came in and cleaned up. Which remind me. We have something you might want to see. It's some pages from a very old book but the language is beyond us." Stuart would say. "Maybe you could come by when we are done here-" and that's as much as the fallen angel could remember, next thing he knew he woke up in some hellish hospital bed with Lucifer by his side. He couldn't remember what happened on that ambulance whatsoever, it was as if some sort of barrier was blocking his mind. Not letting him uncover the truth.
Unbeknownst to him, outside forces had begun meddling with his affairs. All the planets and all life had a innate feeling of impending doom. The universe was falling into place for the birth of a being that could mean the destruction of all life as you know it. The Valiard was coming.
