Banished angel Raziel hasn't been to earth for thousands of years and in fact dislikes the very humans who inhabit it, but with no money or food, he has little choice but to rely on a human boy for help. While on earth, he finds himself becoming a g...
This chapter was previously titled "BONUS Chapter - Welcome to Heaven" but it now fits into the plot at Chapter 48. None of the details have changed from when it was the bonus chapter, so you don't need to reread it.
I had so much fun writing this chapter, so I hope you'll enjoy!
Kai's POV
Gabriel lands on the crystal clear water below us. I expect to feel the splash of water as I land in it, however, I feel nothing but a soft, almost squishy texture, under my shoes. My gaze drifts downwards and I gasp, seeing a school of sky blue coloured kittens swimming underneath the water.
One of them diverges from the group. It swims towards me and stops in front of me. Big, sparkling, gold eyes look up at me from the water and I bend down and tentatively scoop up a kitten. It licks my face and purrs, causing me to giggle. The warm ball of fluff curls up in my arms after a few seconds and closes its eyes.
Upon further examination, I notice the small gills on the sides of the kitten's neck. It's skin feels soft and fluffy, like fur, yet I can see the scales on its body, and it's tail is flat instead of rounded, like kittens' should be.
"It's a Kattichthys," Raziel says, answering the silent question in my head.

This isn't exactly what the Kattichthys looks like but it was my inspiration for it! ^^
He reaches out and strokes the sleeping creature before he continues. "It is one of the creatures that have always inhabited this realm. Even the oldest angels are not exactly sure where they came from.
"In general, they are peaceful creatures, but they will fight to the death to protect anyone they're attached to. They may look innocent but their fangs and claws remain concealed and harmless until needed. Kattichthys can live both in and out of water. If they stay out of the water for an extended period, they start to resemble an earth kitten, and they are attracted to pure, kind, loving beings."
Raziel gestures for me to look downwards and I see a school of adorable Kattichthys swimming around my feet. I giggle and using my free hand, I stick it into the water. Feather light brushes caress my hand as the Kattichthys take turns greeting me. When I retract my hand, I giggle again as I find it completely dry.
"Brother, you go talk to God, I will give Kai a brief tour around heaven." Raziel nods at Gabriel's suggestion and gives me a deep kiss that leaves me swooning, before saying that he will see me later. Gabriel turns towards me and grins. "Are you ready?"
I eagerly bob my head up and down and Gabriel smiles, beckoning me to follow him. We walk on the water for about a minute, the Kattichthys following me in the water as we walk.
My gaze drifts up from the water and I gasp. Before me are massive, cream coloured palaces on the edge of a waterfall. The buildings shoot up into the sky like stalagmites. Red roofs and white roofs, buildings of different shapes and sizes, all intricately woven together to complete the picturesque view.
