Angelfire

She was a vision of beauty. Plates of silver and gold encased her body, a skirt of creamy cloth belted at her hips. Beneath her gilded helm, piercing blue eyes regarded him from behind golden bangs, her face smooth and fair. White-feathered wings flapped once behind her, then folded at her back. In a single sinuous movement, and without breaking eye-contact, she wiped blood from the bladed edge of her pearled sword and sheathed it. His blood. "You and your people have sinned against Saint Tyr." She said, her voice clear as a bell, sharp as a knife, and cold as winter. "This is your punishment." Two similar creatures stood behind her, weapons still drawn; others were around the village, some hovering or circling in the smoke filled skies. The groans of the dying, the crackle of the burning huts, and the whisper of feathered wings were the only sounds. She spat at him then, turned on a silver-booted heel, and took to the air. The two behind her followed then, as did all the others left in the village, until the entire flock was soaring out to the west away from the mountain village which lay in ruins, still burning.
