Night time .
Angel Base .
Most of the people have already gone to bed .
In Joseph's room , Joseph was discussing something very serious with Brad .
" Brad , how is your investigation going about the Dark Souls ? "
" I've been investigating about them nonstop . But I'm very ashamed to say that I haven't found anything new about them yet . "
" Things won't work in this way . We don't have any solid information about them . And on the other hand Lucas must've given our every information to them . We need to find out a way to take them down . "
" You are forgetting something , it won't be , easy , in any way , to face them let alone take them down . "
" That's why I want to solve their chapter as soon as possible . I don't want to risk the common people's lives for his stupid revenge ... I need to talk to him any how . He needs to understand that in order to sabotage our job he is destroying others who have nothing to do with anything . I didn't expect him to become this much ruthless ! "
" I'm really surprised to see that you still have high hopes about him . I always used to tell you that he was not suitable for the job . He had always been cruel , he never cared even if people were suffering because of his actions ....you know better than anyone else ...you suffered the most ....you haven't forgotten anything , have you ? " , Brad asked in a serious voice .
" I haven't forgotten anything . And I'm not saying that I'm forgiving him ..... I can't either . But I have to convey the message to him that if he wants revenge he can come after me but he has to stop involving other people in his personal game . "
" I don't think he'll agree to your proposal . He won't even consider . " , Brad said shrugging his shoulder .
" Still I have to try . I'll send him a letter . "
Brad was going to say something but Joseph stopped him by saying , " Please don't start the same topic again . I don't want to think anything about it as long as things are going well . "
Brad said , " As you say but my suspicions never go away when it's him . I'll leave now . " Joseph nodded . Brad approached the door .
He stopped near the door and said without turning back , " I hope I'm not the only one to notice this . His stare ..... always reminds me of Abaddon . " , with that Brad left .

The next day .
Selina and Riley were going towards the forest near S street . The angels have repeatedly heard that somewhere in the forest there is a colony , but noone has ever tried to find out about the colony . The forest was not safe at all , many angels including Enilese saw the harmful creatures roaming in the forest , Enilese was even attacked by one of those creatures . In other words the forest was becoming dangerous day by day , and that could affect the colony people . The angels , therefore , needed to see if the colony really existed or not , and if it existed they needed to ensure that the colony people were safe .
As the angels didn't know where the colony was Riley and Selina would have to search the entire forest to find the colony .
Their journey was quiet . It was meant to be quiet as neither Selina nor Riley was very fond of talking . Selina , though very less , still talks to others but Riley was ever silent , he doesn't communicate with anyone and the members of the base also don't try to communicate with him because of his excessive quietness . He speaks only when he needs to report something about his work or he is asked something about his job . So in other words Riley and Selina were perfect companion for each other .
Despite the unnatural personality Riley was very important for the Angel base , not only because he was skilled in both spirit power and mind powers but also he was the one who was in charge of passing the letters between their base and the Dark Soul Base . Nobody knows where he gets those letters from but it's always proved that the letters are really from the Dark Soul Base . Some members are sceptical about him but they can't do anything about it as Riley is not a slightest bit interested in other people's judgements about him . When he delivered Joseph a letter from the Dark Soul Base for the first time some members doubted that he was fabricating the letter to prove himself better than others but Joseph confirmed that the letter was real . When asked where he got the letter from he replied that a black hooded masked guy gave him the letter and told him to deliver it to Joseph . That was just the beginning , since then he has been passing the letters between the two bases . It's still unknown why for all these years the Dark Souls never approached any other member except Riley . It's definitely suspicious but noone has ever managed to spot any single flaw in his work . So their suspicion never met a solid base .
Selina and Riley entered the forest . The forest was completely serene . They began to invade the forest looking for signs , related to human inhabitants . But even after searching for half an hour they didn't find anything significant rather they realised that the forest was getting denser and because of that the sunlight was getting blocked by the trees . At that point the forest was looking dark , shadowy , dampish , partly misty and ..... most importantly .....sinister .
They stopped for some moments . The damp atmosphere was enough to assume that the area was not suitable for human habitation . But the narrow path along which they were walking was still distinct . Upto that point anyone would've concluded that the colony is nothing but a piece of imagination , it has no real existence . But Selina suggested that they should go upto the very end of the road . Of course , if there is a road it definitely leads to somewhere . Riley also didn't object .
They started walking again . Almost twenty minutes later , Riley spoke for the first time , " See , some kind of light is coming from that side . " , he pointed towards their left side . Selina looked at that direction . Indeed , in comparison to the shadowy atmosphere of the forest the left side was looking remarkably bright , as if something fresh was there behind the dense curtain of the bushes , waiting to be discovered .
" Can be the colony . Let's go . " , Selina said .
Riley nodded . And they started walking to that direction . When they finally managed to pass through the bushes and saw the sight in front of them their eyes got widened in surprise .
