Chereads / Angel Has Fallen Down (Haru) / Chapter 4 - 4. Black Butterfly

Chapter 4 - 4. Black Butterfly

Heavania, Heaven

The sound of giant golden bells echoed, the sound could be heard around Heavania, Angels and Gods gathered in one place as the bell continued to ring, wondering what was happening.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and suddenly the wings of a giant black butterfly could be seen above the still ringing giant bell.

The Angels and Gods were surprised when they saw it, a woman with black hair and butterfly wings stood on the still ringing sacred bell.

The woman had a strange appearance, she wore a black dress that was not normal here because the people of heaven had to wear white clothes, she did not wear shoes, she even had giant black butterfly wings on her back, straight black hair, and blood-red eyes.

Suddenly the woman flew through the wind as she flew to the sacred house of God.

As the woman with butterfly wings descended to the ground, Mary looked at her with a grin on her face, "we meet again, don't we? Taurinz."

The woman called Taurinz glanced at Mary, "nice to meet you again," she said as she walked past Mary.

Mary grinned again, "it seems something big is going to happen," she said as she followed her.

The woman stood in front of the sacred door, suddenly the door opened slowly and she could see a woman sitting on the throne.

After the door opened fully, with bare feet she walked in through the corridor, she smiled at God when she arrived in front of him, "nice to see you, God Georgia," she said casually while smiling without bowing her head to God.

The Gods fell silent when they saw her, "Taurinz, the black butterfly, Shie Erteliasna, will you tell me why you are setting foot in this world again?" God asked.

"My Lord, I want to tell you about the doomsday that will take place 500 years from now," Shie - the woman said to God.

God's facial expression changed when he heard that, "explain," his expression now looked serious.

"I saw a great disaster, when a holy angel and a demon king meet, they will cause a great disaster in this world," Shie explained when she saw God's expression change.

"What kind of disaster?" God asked.

"a disaster where the Leuks galaxy will explode and disappear from the universe, I saw twin children, one with black energy surrounding them and one with holy power, the twins will go back to the past where this Galaxy was created and they will stop Luchia Mariene from creating the world, they will change history" Shie explained, the crystal ball she held glowing in front of her, she could see the future shadows.

Mary stepped into the corridor, she bowed to God and glanced at Shie, "What do you mean by Luchia Mariene? Isn't she just a legend?" she asked directly.

"No one said that the existence of Luchia Mariene never existed, Luchia Mariene is the one who created this world and galaxy, the universe that was originally one split into two, she is the true God of this world" Shie explained with a smile, her red eyes gleaming as she looked at the crystal ball in front of her.

God sighed when he heard it, "can you explain who the twins are?" God asked.

"I cannot say their names, it is not right to say something about the future, but the twins have the same power as the holy angel and the demon king, I am worried it is not the right choice to send the holy angel to kill the demon king" Shie replied crossing her arms.

God frowned when he heard Shie's answer, "what do you mean?" God asked again.

Shie grinned when she heard God's question, "isn't it inappropriate to create Holy Angels? I have been worried from the beginning, the most holy person cannot work alone, are you really a God?"

"How dare you speak like that to our God!" Mary shouted when she heard Shie's way of speaking.

"Rabbit" one word from Shie with a grin made God shudder, "the rabbit that starts it," she said smiling at God.

God sighed when he heard it, "Mary" he called.

Mary bowed, "Yes, my Lord."

"call back Alice, tell her that her mission is canceled," God ordered with a sigh.

"Yes, my lord! Your command is my honor!" Mary replied, she smiled and bowed her head to God.

As she saw that, Shie grinned, "can you stop her?" she whispered softly.

Koorselian, World of Humans

Alice and Lucas were now on the balcony of their respective rooms, they sat staring at the sky.

"By the way, can you sing?" suddenly Lucas asked.

Alice turned her face to Lucas "sing? Ahh... it's not my job as an angel," Alice replied.

Lucas stared back at Alice, "so you can't?" Lucas asked again.

Alice looked puzzled, but suddenly she remembered something, "there's one that I remember!" she replied, "a beautiful girl that I met in Heaven taught me this when I was young."

"Really? What song is it?" Lucas asked curiously.

Alice tried to think, "actually, I don't really remember, but... let me try to sing it" she said hesitantly.

She started to hum, "for what was this place stretched, stretched to the unknown kingdom, thru between a wave and sea, there's small boat with you behind it, from this unknown place I could see your smile in it ...." she started to sing, Lucas closed his eyes enjoying the beautiful voice that came from Alice.

"Your voice is beautiful," said Lucas with a smile.

Alice felt surprised, all her life she had never sung because she was a war angel who protected heaven, but apparently when God created her, God also gave her the ability to sing.

"I'm curious, are you happy being an angel?" Lucas asked.

Alice sighed, "I can't really say if I'm happy."

"Why?" Lucas asked again, furrowing his brow.

"I am a holy angel, my task is different from other angels, I was created to kill the demon king, until now I don't even understand why I have to kill him" Alice sighed as she answered.

"so you don't really hate him?" Lucas asked somewhat happily.

Alice tried to think, "actually no, not really, but since the day I fought him, I hated him because he humiliated me!" she said with hatred, "being born as an angel is not as fun as people say, being born as an angel is not fun, the higher your status the more tasks you have, but if I succeed in killing the demon king, God will grant my wish" she said determinedly.

Lucas sighed as he smiled at her, "... can I know what your wish is?"

Alice looked up at the sky, "I want to be free from heaven, I want to live as an ordinary person, live in the World of Humans without the burden on my shoulders," she said with sparkling eyes while looking at the sky above.

Lucas glanced at Alice, "the higher the status, the more burdens you have, the more you are respected the more people will hate you but without power you are nothing, so being a holy angel is a big burden"

Alice sighed, "at least you understand."

"Well, anyway, I'm

 an experienced man," Lucas grinned as he answered.

"Really?" Alice smiled hearing that.

Lucas widened his eyes, "you can smile?!" his voice raised in surprise, his eyes widened in disbelief.

Alice furrowed her brow, "of course I can."

"From the first time I met you, you never smiled! you just grinned and your grin is very creepy!" Lucas said with enthusiasm, "come on, try to smile again!" he requested enthusiastically

Alice felt puzzled, "what's so special about my smile?"

Lucas looked calmer now, "you look more beautiful when you smile" he said

Alice's cheeks flushed hearing that, she curled up, hiding her blushing face, "thank you..." she said softly

Night had fallen, as humans fell asleep, Alice suddenly woke up, she rose from her bed and opened her bedroom window, the wind slowly blew towards her, as she looked up at the sky she could see a figure of an angel

"It seems the holy angel is enjoying her sleepover" Mary stared at Alice with sharp eyes

Alice just looked flatly as she saw Mary, "what are you doing here?" she asked

"God ordered you to return to heaven," Mary said crossing her arms, she then floated towards Alice's bedroom window, "may I come in?" she asked, Alice stepped aside from the window and let Mary in

Alice frowned when she heard God's command, "but my task is not finished," she replied confused

"This is God's command, besides Taurinz is here, she has set foot in this world" Mary explained

"Taurinz? has she come already?" said Alice

"Yes, she has set foot in heaven, that means, something big is coming if you stay here there will be a great disaster" Mary said looking around Alice's neatly arranged room

Alice frowned again, "what's her business? is that great disaster related to my mission?"

Mary's eyes stared at Alice, she sighed, "your task is done, God ordered me to tell you that, don't ask too much! I told you not to accept but you still didn't listen!"

Alice looked pensive, "no, I won't go back," she decided

Mary's eyes widened, she was surprised to hear that, she looked at Alice with a sharp gaze, "why?"

"my task is to kill the demon king, after that God will grant my wish to be free from heaven and live as a human," said Alice proudly

Mary fell silent when she heard it, "you must go back, that's God's command!" she said with a high tone

"no, I won't" Alice replied, she had set her goal, she wouldn't back down

"If you meet the demon king, there will be a great disaster waiting for us, go back to heaven!" Mary's tone became higher as she tried to control her anger, she looked at Alice with an unbelieving gaze, "why do you refuse God's command?"

Alice sighed, suddenly her wings grew on her back, "I want to be free," she said determinedly

Mary sighed when she heard it, "God will not accept your wish, once you become an angel you cannot free yourself from God's love, forever until your soul is destroyed and disappears you will always be one of God's beloved, that is the fate of angels, even the laws of the world cannot deny it" Mary looked at Alice, Mary could see a determined look in her eyes

"I won't go back, it's up to God's choice to free me or not!" Alice looked at Mary coldly as her wings flapped

Mary smiled bitterly as she saw Alice's cold eyes, "you know, I'm annoyed with you because you never listen to anything I say to you,"

Alice fell silent, "I never asked you to stop anything for me" suddenly a sword appeared in her hand, she pointed her sword towards Mary as if she set her target.

Mary gasped when she saw Alice's sword, "what? Do you want to fight me?" her eyes full of anger as she looked at Alice

Alice sighed when she heard Mary, "no, but subjugation, you must know your place"

"as always! your dignity and principles will make you die in the human world!" Mary looked coldly when she heard it, if it's like this, there's no other choice but to fight.

Suddenly the sound of an opening door could be heard, both Alice and Mary looked at the door and found Lucas standing at the door

Mary looked at Lucas with shock, "human?"

Lucas looked at Mary flatly, "angel?" he said

"back off, Lucas!" Alice shouted when she saw him

Mary fell silent, "a relationship with humans? Are you crazy?" Mary's eyes looked unbelieving, her proud friend, how could she have a relationship with humans? it's nonsense!

Alice looked coldly at Mary, "he's none of your business, don't involve him"

Suddenly the sound of ringing bells could be heard, a beam of light surrounded Alice and Mary suddenly, both looked towards where the light was coming from and they found Shie standing at the window smiling at both of them, "yes, it's better not to involve the demon king in angelic conflicts," she said placing her hand on her knee and smiling

"Demon king? What are you talking about?" Alice looked at Shie strangely

Shie placed her chin on her hand, she smiled as she looked at Lucas, "demon king" she said slowly but audible to them

Lucas sighed when he saw it, it felt like Shie was pointing at him even though she wasn't, "what is the holy Taurinz doing here?" he asked with a smile

Alice looked at Lucas, "Lucas? Why are you..." before she could finish what she wanted to say suddenly black energy surrounded them

Black robes appeared on Lucas's back, Lucas even wore a cravat around his neck, suddenly many demons gathered around him, "I've been found out," he said with a grin.

"Really a disaster," said Shie smiling, "this way, disaster cannot be stopped"

"Yes, disaster" replied Lucas, he glanced at Alice who looked surprised when she saw him, "let me introduce myself, Holy Angel, my real name is Luke Fier'diese, I am Lucifer's brother and the current Demon King you must kill," he grinned when he saw how surprised Alice was

Shie smiled, "nice to meet you demon king, but we must go now," she said standing up and flying into the sky, "prevoz"

When she heard the teleportation mantra, Alice turned around and looked at Shie, "wait..." before she could finish her words, she disappeared along with Mary and Shie.

Luke sighed when he saw them disappear in front of his eyes and left feathers behind, one of the feathers flew past him, with his hands covered by gloves he caught one of the feathers, he looked at the feather and smiled, "my Alice, wait for me to pick you up in heaven soon, my angel," Lucas grinned he kissed the fading feather and immediately after that the feather disappeared and turned into light and went away.
