“Of course, you may all take a look,” Christik replied warmly, obviously understanding our curiosity and eagerness for knowledge.
We all walked over to the nearest angels and peered down into the deep pits.
“Wow,” I whispered under my breath as my eyes looked over the golden angel beneath me. The angel was a male with broad muscular shoulders showing within his shimmering wings. His golden hair ran down the length of his back and down to the backs of his knees.
Right at the bottom of the pit was a large gold disc which the angel was hovering over. I wondered if the gold disc was there already, hidden from us humans all this time. Had it been buried underneath all the earth the angel had moved or had he created it as he created the hole? With our curiosity now sated, we walked back to Christik and the others. Just as we approached them, Christik spoke again.
“Begin!” she ordered again.
Instantly, we turned back to the golden angels to see what they were going to do next. I don’t think any of us wanted to miss anything as it all seemed so magical and surreal. None of us spoke at all as we continued to watch in awe as they all opened their hands, leaving their thumbs connected while spreading out their fingers.
The sunset seemed to be at its peak of brightness as the angels’ hands started to glow a blend of gold, orange and red. Again, the earth beneath our feet trembled. Only this time it was stronger as if a large earthquake was about to strike. The angels’ power abruptly pulsed forwards towards the center, where the stones stood or laid.
“Look,” Harrison and Abigail shouted above the noise.
Both of them were pointing to the Sarsen and blue stones. We watched stunned as all the stones immediately commenced moving around. The smaller stone rose high into the air and began to circle while the biggest stones slid into place.
As the whole stones moved and continued the part circle that had survived through the centuries, the lost and destroyed stones were beginning to form before us. Not only was the outer circle forming but five pairs of stones were forming in the center, creating a horseshoe shape.
I was so engrossed in the scene before me that I couldn’t tell how long it took before all the larger stones were all whole and in place. Just as swiftly and effortlessly, some of the smaller stones started to gently land on top of the outer ring stones and the horseshoe stones. While the smallest blue stones created another circle around the center stones and lined the inside of the larger horseshoe.
When all the stones were in place, the angels reined in their power and immediately rose from the holes. Once they were out, their wings began to unfurl, spreading outwards and upwards.
In one swift movement, their wings came back down, lifting the angels high into the air over the stones, and as they started to descend, they landed on top of all the smaller blue-colored stones, all with their wings poised in midair. They were all magnificent.
“Woah,” Holly uttered.
It was as if she had read all our minds because we were all just as enthralled.
“Please follow me,” Christik said as she glided forward towards the central stones.
We all followed her with Harrick, Zanika and Hulaz taking up the rear. I noticed that Nalik was again holding Holly’s hand, and Christine was holding Anthony’s, making me smile. James gave mine a little squeeze as we walked, grabbing my attention.
“Are you okay, baby?” he asked, seemingly worried. “You look really flushed.”
“I’m good James. To be honest, I feel better than good. It’s as if I’m being recharged,” I told him genuinely.
The responding smile he gave me made my heart swell in my chest. ‘Bloody hell, I love this man,’ I thought to myself.
Christik led us through the stone monuments and angels until we reached the absolute center of Stonehenge. It was so surreal being in the middle of such an amazing sight.
As I scanned the scene, I noticed not only an unoccupied blue stone in the middle of the horseshoe but also a large flat stone which looked like an altar. Christik came to a halt and turned to Nalik and Holly.
“Nalik, I would like you to take the remaining power stone. You are in love which has increased your power greatly,” she told him. “Everyone else please follow me while Zanika, Hulas and Harrick take their places.”
While Nalik followed the golden angels’ actions taking off and landing gracefully on top of the remaining blue power stone, the rest of us followed Christik.
She led us to the furthest power stones, so we were all facing the large five stone arched structures. Our angel friends glided around behind us linking their hands together.
The sight before us was breathtaking. When I imagined seeing Stonehenge for the first time, I had no idea it would be like that, renewed with all the stones in the right places.
Who would have believed that the ancient site was meant for what we were all witnessing? It was blowing my mind to see all the golden angels and Nalik surrounding us on top of the power stones in all their splendor. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next.
None of us spoke, but we all kept looking at each other in stunned disbelief, our wide eyes of amazement saying it all for us. James held my hand tightly, and I didn’t know if it was due to worry or excitement. I hoped it was excitement because I was truly buzzing with the magic of it all.
Christik glided towards the altar stone, coming to a full stop about ten feet away. We all stood mesmerized as she lifted her arms out to her sides, suddenly releasing her power to the two golden angels at the ends of the power stones’ horseshoe.
The moment her power reached the two angels, it seemed to start a magical chain reaction. The angels began to spin in the air just above the stones which were now glowing a true-blue color. As they spun, their power travelled outwards to the angels next to them, and so it continued.
One by one, the angels began spinning, powering up the blue power stones until every one of them was glowing brightly. Their gold wings reflected the light from their shared power, sending flashes of colors in all directions. It was nothing like I’d ever seen before.
Within minutes, the power was flowing freely between all the angels in the outer circle, as if the energy was passing through them all, and the same thing was happening to the angels in the horseshoe. I felt James gently squeeze my hand again getting my attention.
“Look at the large stone arches, baby,” he said, as he pointed in their direction.
When I looked over to them, it appeared that a blue ball of light was forming in the middle of the arches, growing steadily larger with each second. Before long, the blue light filled the voids completely, and as we stared, the light turned into a fluid, rippling softly before turning to a solid mass. It was as if they were blue shimmering mirrors reflecting the scene before them.
“Elders, I respectfully request your presence,” Christik said loudly and with confidence.
We waited with bated breath to see what would happen next. I was acutely aware of the excitement in the air from James and the kids; it was so strong. Glancing at my family quickly before I missed anything, I could see Anthony and Christine still holding hands with amazement on both of their young faces. Harrison was holding Abigail’s hand, and Holly was staring directly at Nalik’s spinning form with her mouth agape in awe. When I turned back to the arches, I had a huge smile on my face and love in my heart.
We all heard the elders before we could see them, their voices loud and clear above the humming energy.
“You have never summoned us before, Christik, why do you summon us now, my own?” one of the elders replied.
My eyes strained to see the images forming in the glistening blue mirrors, the images becoming clearer with every second. Moments later, the elders were clearly visible within the arches, and they were just as beautiful as the angels. We could see the elders so clearly, it was as if they were stood there, and they were very much like the angels who were with us.
The elders had the same long, shimmering hair,
which was bright silver and appeared to be held at the napes of their necks but then splayed out around their broad shoulders. Their larger wings sat higher above their shoulders and seemed wider than our friends’ wings. They were a lot more muscular overall, giving us the impression that they were more warriors than healers of worlds or peacekeepers.
“I will be brief, Lindaz, my own,” Christik told the elder, who I assumed was her mother. “The Marilians are on their way to Earth to conquer it and take the humans as their own. I respectfully request your assistance in defending this planet and the human race,” she added with conviction.
The elder Lindaz appeared thoughtful for a moment, and I could feel my anxiety building as we waited for her to speak again. ‘Please don’t say no,’ I thought to myself over and over like a mantra.
“Never before have you asked us for assistance Christik. We do not take the threat you feel lightly,” the elder said with compassion. “We know of the Marilian race. If they are on their way to Earth, you will indeed need our help.”
“We will arrive through the Star Passage, the day after tomorrow Christik, my own,” a male elder added.
Again, I had to assume that the male elder was her father.
“Do my elders concur with this decision?” he asked.
The other elders all voiced their agreements, and I sighed with relief. The elders came across so powerful; I was sure they would give us a big advantage in our upcoming battle.
“We will take our leave now, my own,” Lindaz said more warmly. “I will hold you soon enough,” she added, giving her daughter a loving smile, then dipping her head in respect.
The other elders followed suit, all dipping their heads to Christik who returned the gesture. Moments later, the elders began to disappear as the shimmering mirrors again turned to liquid, then back to the bright lights. I could feel the energy around us begin to lessen as the ball of light shrank to nothingness.
The spinning golden angels and Nalik began to slow above the blue power stones which were also starting to darken as the power ebbed and dimmed. Christik slowly lowered her arms as the angels came to a full stop. Each of them opened their wings and lowered themselves to the soft earth.
“Thank you, my angels,” Christik told them warmly, “it is done. Our elders are coming; please return to our craft and rest.”
All the angels apart from Nalik dipped their heads at Christik and then disappeared one by one. Nalik immediately started to glide toward Holly, dipping his head to Christik on his way.
When he reached my daughter, she reached for him, wrapping her arms around his waist and holding him tightly. Nalik responded just as affectionately, holding her tightly as his body began to glow.
“You were amazing,” I heard her say to him sweetly.
His resounding smile and his body glow showed just how much Holly’s words meant to him. I think we could all feel the love and respect between them.
Chapter 22
Holly, Nalik, Christine and Anthony were still holding hands as we walked back into our rooms. We were all still so stunned by what we’d all witnessed that the journey home had been one of silence. I did notice Christik smiling knowingly at each of us in turn; obviously, she knew that none of us had ever seen anything like that before.
That evening, as we all sat together around the coffee table chatting and enjoying some well-deserved family time, it was all we could talk about. What we’d all seen, how we felt and how impressive Nalik was.
Nalik was steadily blushing. He was a very modest angel; they all were. None of the angels seemed to have negative traits that we humans had such as ego, greed, and a need for power or material things. Hell, they didn’t even feel like they needed clothes.
It suddenly dawned on me that if humans were able to change the size of their genitalia like the angels, without the need to wear clothes, that there would be humans all over the place with massive cocks and huge boobs, flaunting them for all to see. Although probably not as many people now as before. I didn’t think any of us were feeling vain about our looks anymore. We were all just grateful to be alive.
“Mom, Nalik and I are going to watch the sunset down by the Cruiser,” Holly said, breaking me from my humorous thoughts. “Anthony would you and Christine like to join us?” she asked her big brother.
Christine looked delighted, and when Anthony looked at her to ask if she’d like to go, he instantly took her big smile as a ‘Yes’ and closed his mouth again.
“I think I can safely say yes, sis,” he answered smiling widely.
James stood from his seat with a serious fatherly look in his face.
“Please stay near where the angel guards are. If there are any corrupted people in the Cruiser, I want you to be able to get away instantly, and Nalik can only flit you one at a time, okay!” He told them all.
They could all tell how serious James was, and I was glad he’d told them, so they’d be more aware of their surroundings.
“Do not worry James; I will flit them to and from the Cruiser, next to where the guards are,” Nalik told my husband.
James nodded his head in respect to Nalik, showing his appreciation. James worshipped our kids and had always been very protective. He was even more protective now and who wouldn’t be after everything that had happened?
We watched the four of them leave together; the two couples holding hands and sharing smiles. My heart felt full, seeing them so happy. When I looked at Abigail and Harrison, they were rolling their eyes at each other, and then Harrison started to pretend to make himself sick. James and I started to laugh at their funny faces and reactions.
“You wait until you meet someone you like, you two!” I told them as I ruffled Harrison’s hair. “You’ll be just as smitten as your siblings, and then it will be your dad and I rolling our eyes,” I told them, laughing even harder.
Just then I felt a flutter in my stomach. It was the baby. I could actually feel the tiny movement of our baby daughter. I instantly stopped talking and placed my hand on my small baby bump. James looked worried for a moment, his eyes scanning my face and bump.
“Are you okay, baby?” he asked, worry showing in his handsome face.
I gave him a reassuring smile as I got up and walked over to him.
“I’m good, baby,” I answered as I wrapped my arms around his waist. “I just felt the baby flutter.”
I looked up to his face just in time to see his eyes widened and a huge grin appear.
“You felt the baby move?” he asked.
I nodded, smiling at the happiness on his face.
“What did it feel like, Mom?” Abigail asked curiously.
“Like little bubbles,” I told her with a smile.
It made my heart happy to see our kids interested in the new baby. They seemed just as excited about our new family member as James and me. We spend the rest of the evening playing eye spy with them, and Abigail entertaining us with the amazing dance move she’d learnt.
We were all getting ready for bed when Holly and Anthony came back. Both looked like cats who’d both got the cream. Anthony had a blissful smug look on his face, and Hollie literally looked like she was dreamily floating on air. ‘Well, that mini sunset date obviously went well,’ I thought to myself, smiling at their very happy expressions.
“I gather you had fun, you two?” James said, beating me to the punch.
Anthony instantly started to blush, his cheeks turning a deep red.
“Yeah, we did, it’s beautiful down by the water, and we saw a stunning sunset. The colors were amazing,” he told us. “Now I know what you mean, Dad, about having a real romance.”
“It was very romantic,” Hollie gushed breathlessly, her cheeks turning pink also.
Both of our kids went to bed very happy. Abigail and Harrison were already asleep by then, not being able to keep their eyes open any longer. When the barrier closed between our rooms, James and I followed suit and climbed into our own welcoming bed too.
Within se
conds, James pulled me into his arms and rolled me, so I was laying on top of his muscular body. I lifted myself up, straddling his hips with my legs, looking down on his sexy ass form beneath me.
As I looked down at my husband, the love of my life, I thought again how lucky I was that he was mine. He looked back at me with a look of awe. My love for him was so strong, and my need for him was even stronger.
I could feel his desire stirring beneath me, pulsing between my legs. His hands moved to my thighs, and as he softly moved them up my body, he lifted himself up, bringing his lips to meet mine. His kiss was deep and full of passion, my lips plumping with his passionate onslaught.
I could feel his chest hair graze against my hard nipples, making them even more sensitive as he lifted my body to lower onto his arousal. As I felt him enter me slowly, he started to kiss my neck and ear.
“I love it when you’re pregnant; you are always so ready,” he whispered.
He used his teeth on my earlobe, his breath hot on the side of my neck. I lifted myself and arched my back, inviting him to pay attention to my tingling nipples. As soon as his mouth took one, I slowly lowered myself down again. He moaned loudly as I took him all, clenching my muscles around his arousal.
I began to raise and lower myself, enjoying the feel of his fullness inside me. The friction against my hyper-sensitive nipples added to my quickly building climax. James lowered his mouth to them again, grazing them with his teeth in turn, making me lose control. His hands gripped my thighs as he released with me, his head buried in my neck and long, blonde hair, his moans adding to my pleasure.
As our climaxes ebbed away, leaving us both content and relaxed, James lowered himself back to the bed taking me with him. While laid on top of him with my ear resting against his broad chest, I listened to the rhythmic beat of his heart. Soon, I could feel him stirring again.
We took it slow and really made love, pleasuring each other until the early hours. As I laid in James’s arms, content and relaxed, my mind wandered as I listened to him breathing deeply.
