Father Asher still remembers what Sister Oriana told him,
"Ever since I met you. It all started ever since I met you!!!" She yelled at him with tears streaming down her cheeks, "Why did you come into my life? Hic- The stalker! The kidnapping! The first day here and now this!!? Hic-"
The memory stabs him and the expression she had back then was heart breaking.
he as well didn't know something like that would happen, after all, he's a human and has no idea about the future, he simply lives and how things go, they shall go.
Currently they're practicing how to control their halo as it's a form of warmth to the people who walk around them and for the church they're residing in. The purpose of this practice is to see how bright the halo is because the brighter it is the purer the soul is.
After Hun mentioned the evil energy in one of the purest places on Earth, they rushed to this stage as to exclude those who don't have the potential to become Wings.
"I thought this practice is for upper trainers" a student whispered.
"I know right? But I'm not complaining as it's a better chance for us to be selected!" Another one said excitedly.
"Shhh! Don't lose focus you two!" A girl warned the two, glancing at Archangel Gabriel's First Wing hoping she wouldn't notice them, but the moment she turned to look at them, they trembled, and their minds went hazy causing their halos to shatter. The sound of the shatter made everyone gasp before the silence was filled with footsteps going toward the three students, "I apologies, but Archangel Gabriel's Wings should have strong hearts and clear minds and you three miss those two important elements. Please return to your churches and practice more" Archangel Gabriel's First Wing said calmly throwing glances at the three of them while keeping her strong fists behind her.
The three students nodded their heads and walked out of the great hall sobbing for failing. Saintess Jane watched as the huge doors shut slowly before she brought back her attention to the other students, she smiled and opened her arms wide, "please proceed with your practice" as if nothing happened, everyone focused again on their halos.
"Poor them, they didn't know they survived something way crueler than what they just went through" Sister Oriana said, her eyes still directed at the shut door, yet her halo is still clear. Father Asher glanced at the maiden beside him then shut his eyes to kick out all thoughts in his head and focus on his halo instead.
He opened his mouth to reply to her, but he shut it immediately recalling what happened a few days ago again. His heart felt weak, and his breath hitched over and over again catching the attention of the Saintess who stood from her seat and rose her hand. She glanced at the four First Wings who nodded and went to tell the failed students to take their leave and practice harder. As for Sister Oriana and Father Asher, Saintess Jane signaled for them to follow her. They glanced at each other before going after her.
"You two have to talk" the Saintess folded her arms and leaned her head to the right a bit.
"I apologies but I don't think I catch up to what the problem is Saintess" Sister Oriana said slowly with her hands in front of her, as for Father Asher, he trembled when the Saintess said what she said.
He glanced at Saintess Jane finding her watching him carefully, he gulped and scratched the back of his neck with sweat forming on his forehead.
She sighed and shook her head, "Hun?" she turned her attention to Sister Oriana, "I'm sorry Sister Oriana but I want to talk to the succubus, Hun" Sister Oriana blinked a few times before chuckling, black smoke blown before the wanted person stood in front of them. Father Asher gulped unable to take his eyes away, he studied the body in front of him slowly, from head to toe, he gazed at the cut off wings and at the wiggling tall and thin tail, at the clean skin revealed and at the body parts squeezed by the little fabric.
Saintess Jane looked at Asher in horror unable to tell what state he has reached, the young man is currently showing stages far from hope, uncontrollable, if she may say.
"What did you want to talk to us about?" Hun asked.
"Can you use teleportation, Hun?" the devil shook his head, "too bad" the Saintess said disappointed before she snapped her fingers sending the two of them somewhere else.
"Ah!" Hun fell on his butt making him hiss in pain.
Father Asher gasped and lent him a hand to stand up, "are you ok?" Hun nodded and rubbed his harmed back, "where are we?"
"Somewhere no one is allowed to access" Father Asher gulped. If Saintess Jane brought them here, then it's fine. They could tell whoever comes that the Saintess allowed them to be here.
"But why are we here?" Father Asher took a seat on a sofa by the window, when he looked outside, he found a beautiful green field filled with all types of flowers and trees. Hun approached him slowly and glanced outside wondering what had the young man this absent-minded, he saw rivers and waterfalls alongside the green fields, "whoa" he managed to say breathlessly.
"Right?" Both of them turned to look at each other smiling before looking outside the window again.
"Do you think we'll be given permission to go there one day?" Hun said excitedly, Father Asher turned to look at him with a grin on his face, "I hope. It's too beautiful to be missed" Hun chuckled and sat beside Asher.
"What did the Saintess mean by talking?" Hun finally asked, he looked at the young man with a serious expression, Father Asher gulped and squeezed his fists.
"Hun... talk to me" he whispered. Hun rose an eyebrow waiting for him to repeat what he just said but Father Asher was too shy to do that, so he hid his face between his hands and mumbled, "talk to me, Hun" Hun flinched and his tensed muscles calmed down a bit, "talk to you? About what?"
"Anything"
"Name something Father Asher or I won't know what exactly you want to hear" Hun put his hands on his small hips killing with that the last awake braincell in Asher's head.
"I don't know if you still remember, but when you yelled at me and told me that I was the reason to ruin you. What did you mean by that?" Hun pondered trying to remember when that was and why would he say such thing to Asher until it struck him. He gasped and looked at Father Asher in horror. "I-"
"I don't want to force you" he pursed his lips and held Hun's hands, "I just... I don't know why, but ever since that day, I have been having this sense of regret? Or that desire to make it up for you? To take responsibility for what I did" Hun shook his head and his eyes started to get wet.
"I'm sorry to tell you that" he sobbed making Father Asher's heart squeeze. He opened his arms to welcome the crying devil. Hun didn't hold back and jumped to his embrace and cried, "I'm sorry. So sorry Asher."
"Don't cry please" he held Hun's head between his big hands, he wiped the tears with a hand while rubbing the cheek with the other, "I hate seeing you like this, Hun" he approached him slowly putting Hun in his lap and his lips grazed his warm cheeks, before he realized it, he started to kiss his wet and warm cheeks up to his closed eyes.
He feared to suddenly stop and all of this ends, so he moved carefully. An arm squeezed him closer while the other rubbed his neck sending continuous shivers with his breathing breaking every now and then.
Father Asher started to sense his body reacting, so he wanted to escape but Hun's arms went to his neck and held him tightly, "I have never been an evil devil" he started before rubbing his crouch on the growing tension between Asher's legs.
He hissed at the sudden graze holding into Hun tightly, "there are good devils too, as there are good and bad people out there" he kept humping slowly with his sudden gasps in Asher's ears and shivers reaching the young man's skin.
"The reason why I got mad... I was scared. I was terrified I'll return to hell if my devilish energy broke free again" Father Asher gasped pulling Hun away to look him in the eye. He found himself face to face with flushed cheeks, berry lips, and lustful teary eyes. He gulped before he moved his face away before his feelings push him to kiss the succubus in his lap. It sure was a bad idea to do all that but the sight of him crying wasn't one he would allow.
"Sniff. Heheheh" Father Asher chuckled at Huns giggle, "why did you giggle?"
"I didn't expect you to jump to THAT stage before we get the chance to know more about each other" Father Asher's face flushed so he tried to hide it from Hun, but the little demon wasn't going to let that happen. He pushed he hand away and pulled Father Asher's face closer. He kissed his flushed cheeks and nose.
"Cute~" Hun said teasingly. When Father Asher got what was going on, he pushed Hun down and started tickling him, "who you calling cute?"
"bwhahahahahahahaha!!!" Hun tried to escape but the big body above him pinned him down not allowing any opening, it felt... safe...
"How is she?" Archangel Michael asked Archangel Raphael who was still trying to break the seal on Archangel Uriel's heart.
"Huff" Archangel Raphael leaned on his chair trying to catch his breath, "nothing is working, the scripts you brought me didn't help much and the tips you gave me were fruitless too"
"I see" Archangel Michael's aura sent shivers down everyone's spine, they all turned to look at him in horror, "that leaves me with the last solution" he walked out of her chambers and rushed to the great gates of Heaven "I'm sorry Uriel, I won't keep my promise anymore."
