Chapter 2: The divine being in the coffin..

Federal Calendar, Year ****

The two aliens, members of a distant planet's most elite military unit, carried a white ancient coffin towards the Major General's private museum. It was a task they had been assigned to, and they took it very seriously - with a few minor exceptions.

“Look at this thing,” the first alien soldier said. He gestured to the coffin with one of his slimy tentacles. “It must be really important if the General wants it in his museum.”

The second alien snorted. “That’s what you think. I bet it’s just some ancient human relic that he found on eBay.”

The first alien scoffed. “Maybe, but we have a job to do, so let’s get moving.”

The two aliens hefted the coffin and began to move forward, cautiously navigating the General’s museum. They soon came to a large, gleaming door that opened to reveal a massive collection of ancient artifacts and rare objects.

The first alien stopped and whistled. “Wow. I didn’t know the General had such taste.”

The second alien grimaced. “Yeah, it looks like he’s been collecting junk from across the galaxy.”

The first alien shook his head. “No, this stuff’s worth a fortune. I bet even the General doesn’t know how valuable it is.”

“Exactly,” the second alien replied. “And that’s why we’re here.”

The two aliens carefully placed the white ancient coffin in its new home and stepped back, admiring their handiwork.

“That should do it,” the first alien said.

The second alien nodded. “Yeah, I think we did good. Now let’s get out of here before the General realizes what a bargain he got.”

And with that, the two aliens hurried back to their duties, leaving the white ancient coffin safe and sound in the General’s private museum.

Completely oblivious of what they just left might be something that could bring great chaos in the future.

The 3rd Major General of the Earth Federation, Cayno Caesar was an awe aspiring fighter that fought for the Federation and was declared as one of the Guardians together with the other 2 Generals that fought with him side by side, tooth and nail.

But, In private General Cayno was known to be a....

Crazy Collector, and an appraisal master.

and now...

Major General Cayno, a renowned private museum curator, was appraising the newly arrived white ancient coffin with great anticipation. He took out his tools and got ready to begin his appraisal. Suddenly, his Deputy's voice interrupted his concentration.

"Sir! Please come here. I have detected a gradually awakening life source inside the ancient coffin!"

Cayno was surprised. He quickly dropped his tools and went to the Deputy. He examined the coffin with amazement and carefully brought his ear close to it. Sure enough, there seemed to be some kind of faint life source emanating from the coffin.

Cayno was perplexed. He had never seen such a thing before. He carefully opened the coffin and was even more surprised to find a beautiful sleeping man inside. He was wearing an ancient-looking dress and seemed to be in a deep sleep.

The Deputy beside him went in a trance, subconsciously dropping the Life signal detector in his hands as he stared blankly at the sleeping divine being in the coffin.

“ This... General.. ” the Deputy stuttered and whipped his head to look at Major General Cayno, who was also in a trance as well.

Skin as white as the ancient pearls, Thin lips that seemed to exude irresistible allure, pointed nose, thick long eyelashes that put most women in shame and...

Cayno inhaled a breathe of air in surprise.“ Is it what i think it is? ” Cayno inspected again.

Raven black wings obediently folded at the back of such divine looking being and everytime Cayno swept his gaze towards every feather adorning it, it seems to shine in metallic sheen.

“ My...my god! General! this is really the legendary Fallen Angel in the History books! ” The Deputy stuttered and an obvious red cloud was plastered on his face as he exclaimed in excitement.

Cayno hastily nodded. “ And this one is alive and breathing..”

“ Quick get the medics and immediately immobilize all the information regarding this! We have to report to the His Majesty! ”

Cayno immediately sent for medical help and the Deputy also left hastily, almost stumbling in his haste while dialing a number on his terminal.

Cayno turned back to the peacefully sleeping figure and a vague rising up and down of the said creature's chest could be seen, a complete evidence that it is alive.

Cayno's breathing turned softer, almost afraid of disturbing the sleeping divine being, carefully walking towards the coffin, he turned his head to one of his collections and reached his hand out to pick up an intricate looking fan and slowly fanned it out towards the coffin's direction.

If his Deputy were here he would surely scream in disbelief. ‘ General! isn't that your beloved Ice storm Fan that you fought for 3 days and 3 nights for?!! ’

In his mesmerized state, Cayno gazed at the Divine being in the coffin. “ So unreal..” he thought for a moment, “ Am i really awake? ”

Cayno was 126 years old, and in a normal human age he would be 26 years old, still very young and energetic, compared to the older guardians of the Federation, Cayno's age could be said to be the lowest by a large margin.

He was very tall, 189 cm with deep features and a noticeable horn in between his forehead. Very obviously that he is of Alien decent.

Still continuing the fanning towards the coffin, the being inside seemed to be much more comfortable with the breeze directing towards him and issued a pleased humming sound that made Cayno stiff for a second, but continued to fan robotically afterwards.

A series of footsteps was heard not long after they became soft as if afraid they would wake the sleeping figure up.

They found Cayno robotically fanning the sleeping figure..but their eyes dotted towards the coffin.

The Deputy slowly leaned towards Cayno and whispered: “ General i have contacted his majesty and he is on his way here..”

After the deputy said that he also signalled the entranced medical personnel, the medical personnel hastily took out their devices and carefully transported the coffin.

And the being inside the coffin, was blissfully unaware that he became a national treasure..
