The Nephalym (Hades #1)
Arielle Alia
Failing to choose would result to his immediate death.
But before his birthday arrives, he accidentally destroyed the sarcophagus of the Nephalym.
Hades suddenly finds his life intertwined with the Nephalym and himself as the savior of the Niesmires, a dying race.
But will he save the Niesmires as an angel or as a demon?
EXCERPT
There was a crack on the sarcophagus!
"Fucking shit!" Hades swore.
Cracks began to increase covering the whole sarcophagus. The sarcophagus shook violently and began to break apart.
Soon the sarcophagus was totally destroyed, and the true form of the Nephalym was revealed to Hades's eyes.
It was a large egg! A six-foot, green egg that was now giving a much brighter glow than the sarcophagus!
But a crack had also begun to form on the bottom of the egg! Like its sarcophagus, it was also breaking apart! The crack grew wider and began spreading.
"Shit!" Hades again swore.
The egg cracked open!
A bright, green light burst out from the egg. Hades was momentarily blinded by the light. When his eyes finally adjusted to the light, he saw something inside the green light. He blinked several times. The light slowly faded. What was left in the middle of the cracked egg was...
A naked, green woman?!
All Hades could do was stare. Hades felt the Nephalym's jade-colored eyes studying him. He could almost feel her looking into his mind.
Would the Nephalym punish him for destroying her sarcophagus? Would she listen to his explanation or would she simply proceed to punish him?
The Nephalym's translucent wings fluttered, and she gracefully flew. She landed in front of Hades. Her eyes stared hard at Hades.
Hades cleared his throat.
"I can explain," he began, "I am not an enemy. And what I did was-"
The Nephalym held up her right hand. Before Hades could move, her hand touched his left cheek.
He felt the warmth of her touch. It began as a comforting warmth before it started getting hot. So hot, it began burning through his flesh!
Hades screamed in pain before his mind blacked-out!
