Focalor sat in the ghost gravesite of those who died but haven't awakened yet. Not too long ago he lost a new friend he made a month ago to a tragic accident. They were crushed by holders being thrown around from giant children. Suddenly, a small burst of light appeared on an empty slot and the body that showed up shocked the animal.

It was the boy he met a while back, Cyrus.

But how did this one die?

Folcalor waddled over and pressed on the gray icon that holds info on the person and how they died. When he read it, he was in shock. It seems like Meliodas's son was involved in this somehow.

Man, what a tragedy it is.

The courtroom was packed with many of the high officials, special workers and civilians alike. The ball of light was residing in a high chair that looked a lot like it would be fit for a judge. There in front of it was Eden, handcuffed.

"The jurors were quick to find you guilty of attempted murder and violating the rules of your role as a mentor. Now, you have two punishments to choose from. The first one is you will become one with your garden body on earth. With no one to visit and talk to you from time to time except for me sometimes your daughter and the guardian angels assigned there. Two, you will be in the Purgatory prison for one thousand years. Since both charges you were found guilty from is worth five hundred each. Choose now, Eden." The ball of light said.

Eden replied, "I will become a garden again and be one with my body on earth. But may I ask my Lord, what about those two boys who actually committed murder and one of them almost murdering me?" The ball of light listened and easily replied with this.

"They've already been punished."

Eden's eyes widened a bit as his eyebrows scrunched together in confusion.

The ball of light chuckled, "Let me explain. Tristian has been punished with seeing the person he cared about die in his arms. Plus, he will always have some doubt if he will ever achieve true peace or that if he even deserves it. Cyrus is that loved one, though it may or may not change, right now he is dead. He perished peacefully." He did die peacefully.

In Tristian's own arms.

Eden didn't say anything else as the ball of light read his sentence which followed with guards dragging him away to do the body ritual. When Gabriel and the ball of light were alone, the light turned towards the angel.

"Be prepared, another death is coming."
