Arashi was about to give up on finding a suitable soul to snatch from the mortal realm. He had gained so much in the mountain village that he figure maybe there was nothing new to find. There was however, a dessert village in his fathers memory that had a soul worth taking. A village of a mortal mage with amazing ability. Arashi laughed as he fell to the earth in the middle of a populated area. These people had believed his father a demon when he'd arrived here with black wings and red eyes in the time of the great purging. He was chased away by the village leader and a Cherub, and nearly killed. The memory was clear that Toll had been damaged more by the village leader then the angel.
Arashi also understood that the people dropped to their knees at the sight of the angel that came for his father. Arashi found this information interesting as he did comical. His pansy of a father ran from Heaven's attack and was followed and nearly killed by a mortal. Only to have this information aid his dejected son's growth. The village was silent and Arashi saw the people stare at him in shock of his sudden appearance. The village leader broke the silence with a question.
"Stranger, you are in the Village of the Returning Soul. I am Alpha Omega. State your purpose."
Arashi recognized this greeting. His father been received in this exact way so many years ago. By a man of the same name. Except, this man was much younger.
"Last I came here as to slay a demon. This time to grant your wishes. Yet, you greet me so informally."
Arashi poke, claiming to be the Cherub that came to kill his father. The man looked at him with disbelief and doubt. Arashi was surrounded by the hazed cloud of his wings and nothing like a cherub. Alpha looked quite sure that this was a lie.
"I saw that our Lord many lives ago Sir. I may not know his face, but his body was nothing as dark as yours. You lie..."
Arashi spread his wings, they changed from the base out into the white wings of his upright race.
"I do not."
Arashi understood what he meant as reincarnation. Many villages such as this had a leader whose soul was reincarnated repeatedly. These places were studied by Toll so that one day he could harvest the souls. He had taken many of them out, but he feared this one.
"I will grant you five wishes Alpha Omega. In exchange for your current life."
The man nodded easily and agreed, as one who'd live yet another life he did not fear death. And he was prepared to aid his village. He wished first that the rain come down to water the crops, and it was granted. He wished second that the cattle get fat, so Arashi inflated their stomachs. He wished third that they would have gold enough to fill a house, it was granted. He wished forth that the children would know peace, so Arashi made them all die silent deaths and told him they would awaken in a world without war. He wished last that the ground be fertile and Arashi nodded, making it so that all the men had ruptured vessels in the brain(dead bodies fertilize the ground after all). Arashi then made a ball of pure chaos in his hand the size of pencil tip and forced into a perfect circle. He stepped back swiftly with the aid of a single flap of his wings and took with him the mans soul. The man vanished in the implosion of chaos and Arashi transported away. His wish count now at six.
