Divinity

Lara led me and my men to pedestal with a sword inside.

"It is the Heavenly Sword." I said.

I moved to the pedestal and tried to pull out the sword. Unfortunately, it would not move.

"This cannot be." I said.

I fell to my knees in despair.

"Arthur was not a celestial after all." I thought.

"Without this sword, all hope is lost." I said.

Suddenly, an angelic man dropped off the sky. He was a beautiful man with white feathery wings.

"Do not despair." he said. "Although it is true that you are not of a divine bloodline, there is still a way you can wield the Heavenly Sword."

"How?" I asked.

"You must be part of a divine bloodline but there is a loophole women like you can use. If you had a Celestial inside you, its divine blood would allow you to wield the sword."

"Are you a celestial? If so I offered you the use of my body as your vessel to wield the-"

"I don't mean literally. I mean if your unborn fetus was a divine being. But you are right that I am a celestial. I could give you the vessel you need."

"You mean we should make love?"

"Your highness, I would advise against this action." said the leader. "It is forbidden for a mortal to breed with an celestial."

This was true. A human who made love to a demon was said to have been corrupted. But to make love with a celestial was even worse because it would be the human doing the corrupting. Not even a king or queen would be allowed do any such thing.

I would be risking my crown.
