Michael held the golden sword before him. He wasn’t scared anymore. He wasn’t angry anymore. He was sad and alone and so, so tired of Metatron’s lies.
“What do you want?” He asked coolly.
“The same thing I have always wanted.” Metatron held up his hands. “For you to sleep.”
His hands were still raised when Michael swung his word down. Metatron swept away, just like he knew he would. Michael lashed out at the air that had been there and peered out into the darkness. Metatron had disappeared, but that didn’t matter to Michael. Instantly, his palm gripped the pommel. He squeezed, hard enough to draw blood on a sheathed sword.
He felt no pain. An angel's life was the absence of feeling, or so it might have been. They were were ultra-sentient cogs in the clockwork of the universe. Everything started to glow a pulsating white. Michael’s body was consumed by it, the white light that savagely ate away at the darkness.
Metatron's presence felt like a... threatening Michael's perfect order.
“You sinner,” Michael said. His voice was unearthly, a hiss of sands blowing through time, the final dying gasp of a star. “I should have let you die as a mortal.”
“Yes, Michael,” Metatron said. “You should have. But you didn’t.”
Metatron reached suddenly into his coat and threw something. The daggers flew towards Michael’s body. They landed at his feet, or where his feet should have been. In the shining reflections there was only a blur of light
“That power is my own,” he said. “I cannot be harmed by it. Or you.”
Michael lunged at him again. This time his sword connected hard at Metatron’s wing. He heard the shuddering groan as he sliced through bone and flesh and feather. Blood dashed itself upon the walls of the cave.
Metatron wrenched himself away and held his bleeding wing. It sagged, hanging by skin alone.
Michael was all things, the power of light and anger, the unbridled rage of God’s impartial judgement. “Soon you will join the legion of fallen angels, Metatron.” He pointed the sword at him. “I’ll let you burn for all eternity, along with my dear brother.”
He charged at Metatron again. This time, he turned and ran behind a pillar for cover. Michael was not deterred. He sliced through the pillar with ease until all that was left were shards of crystal. Metatron limped away.
“You can’t hide from me!”
He smashed another pillar in pursuit.
“No, I can’t hide from you.” Metatron flew up with his broken wing. “And I can’t harm you either.”
The chamber began to shake. Michael flung around. He’d only destroyed two pillars, but the roof was already collapsing. The crystals broke apart and rained around them, reflecting Michael's light.
There was silence, a heated silence which played against Michael's body. If only he hadn't been so trusting. He wanted to wipe everything out, start over, so that Heaven and Hell and the world wouldn't have to be so lonely and dark. It was agony being alone, standing there all by yourself.
Take it, he almost said to Metatron, take what I have. You won't want it in the end.
But words failed him now.
He swung his sword up again only to draw away as a piece of the cavern collapsed between them.
In the dust, he could see Metatron frowning.
I'll end this soon, he thought. And then, suddenly, the world went black.
