Chapter 3 - Fight

This is the third chapter of the book.

For the next week, Kenan spent it training under Kafziel. Everything looked up to Kenan as he completed every challenge Kafziel gave him. Time itself became not only Kenan’s shield but his sword as well. At the end of the week, Kafziel had one final chat with Kenan. “Kenan. I can honestly say you have done a fantastic job. I have no more challenges for you.” said Kafziel. “Why, thank you Kafziel.” said Kenan. “Anything to say before you go off into battle?” said Kafziel. “Yes. I got to ask. What was that drink you gave me last week? I know it was not wine.” said Kenan. “So, you figured it out. How did you know?” said Kafziel. “My parents are long time collectors of wine. My brother and I used to sneak nips in our early teens. So can you tell me what it was?” said Kenan. “It was my blood completely watered down.” said Kafziel. “Your blood? Why did you have me drink your blood? That is kind of sick.” said Kenan. “I am sorry Kenan. For you to do the magic you needed the blood of an angel. Because your human blood has mixed in with the angel blood you are now a Nephilim.” said Kafziel. “What is a Nephilim?” said Kenan. “A being who bears the blood of both a human and an angel.” said Kafziel. “Okay if I need this in order to fight demons then I accept this.” said Kenan. “Great to hear. You are going to need more than a time-travelling watch if you are going to be fighting my children. They are more powerful than you think.” said Kafziel. “I understand Kafz. I do hope I will be able to take them on alone.” said Kenan. “You won’t have to worry about that.” said an unfamiliar voice. “Who said that?” said Kenan as he looked around. At an instant, Kafziel’s limo driver appeared. “Gordon. What are you doing over here?” said Kafziel. Kenan turned his focus onto Gordon who was a Caucasian man wearing a black business suit. Gordon had an ivy league hairstyle, wore glasses and was thin as a straight tree trunk. “So, your name is Gordon. The man that drove us here last time.” said Kenan. “Yes. It is Gordon Stone.” said Gordon. “Great to formally meet you. So, what do you mean when you say I do not need to worry.” said Kenan. Before Gordon spoke a woman appeared right next to him. “We are going with you.” said Gordon. Kenan now looked at the woman and noticed her skin color was the same as Gordon’s. She had long red hair, dark red eyes, a slim body type and was wearing a black leather jacket with matching pants. “Now who are you?” said Kenan. “My name is Asmodeus. I am a succubus cast out from hell. I am going with you to stop Astaroth.” said Asmodeus. “Okay. If that is what you wish.” said Kenan. “Great. So how about we get going?” said Gordon. “Yes, but how are we going to enter the heavens?” said Kenan. “Here Kenan please take these.” said Kafziel as she handed Kenan a golden key and a dagger. “Thank you Kafz. What do I do with these?” said Kenan. “Climb to the highest peak you can find, extend the key out in front of you, turn it clockwise and jump into the portal that will appear. The knife I gave you is what you might need to save yourself from peril.” said Kafziel. “Okay. I got it. I know just the place.” said Kenan as he placed the key and dagger into his pocket. “Where is that?” said Kafziel. “The Prudential Tower.” said Kenan. “We must not delay. We must go now.” said Asmodeus. “Kenan. Go with them. I do not care if a demon is helping you. If she is willing to protect this planet then she is my friend and ally.” said Kafziel. “Thank you Kafziel.” said Asmodeus. “I promise I’ll come back Kafz.” said Kenan as he and Kafziel embraced tightly. “You better. Now go, my time mage.” said Kafziel. And with that, Kenan and his newfound allies Gordon and Asmodeus left in a car prepared to fight. As Kafziel watched the others leave she gave a big smile and laughed.
