My Fallen Angel (bxb) ✔

Chapter 45 - Gabriel

Raziel's POV

I return Gabriel's smile. I didn't realise how much I missed him. "Gabe, you know breaking and entering is a crime on earth."

Gabriel giggles and rushes towards me, squishing me, wrapping his arms around my waist before fluttering upwards and kissing both of my cheeks. "I missed you too, brother."

He then turns to Kai and fusses over him before embracing him in a hug and kissing both of his cheeks which causes Kai to giggle. "It's great to finally meet you, Kai."

Kai smiles but it doesn't fully reach his eyes, and I can feel the nervous energy coursing through his body. Deciding that I should ask the question I'm sure Kai is itching to ask, I say, "Are you here to help, Gabe?"

Gabriel smiles. "Yes, I have been keeping an eye on you, but was forbidden from intervening until now. I can't believe you willingly went back to Hell." I shrug and Gabriel grins and shakes his head before continuing. "God knows how tenacious you can be when you want something, and after hearing some of Kai's reasons as to why Lance didn't deserve his fate, He decided to reconsider the fate of the hollows."

Kai releases an excited squeal. "Lance can go to Heaven?"

"If he wants to, yes. God has granted special permission for Declan to visit him for twenty-four hours once a week-"

"Can't it be more often if they both want it to?" Kai asks.

Gabriel shakes his head. "Living human souls that aren't bonded to a human aren't meant to be in Heaven so having one there more often than that could lead to problems."

Kai pouts but nods and Gabriel continues. "The other option is that Lance could train to be a grim reaper."

My eyes widen. When I was head warrior, part of my job was to do a few training sessions with them near the end of their training. They were usually human souls who were tough, highly skilled in combat and not very good people in their human life.

However, because of their skills, they were offered a chance to give back to earth in exchange for a better afterlife once their service was up. Lance didn't exactly fit the profile. If anything he was the exact opposite.

"It takes three years, but after that time, Lance will be able to have his physical body when he returns to earth," Gabriel says.

Kai's face lights up and Gabriel quickly adds, "There are a few tiny downsides with this option."

A frown replaces Kai's smile as he listens to Gabriel.

"Orientation for the grim reapers lasts six months and no visitors are allowed during that time. While Lance can't return to earth during the years of his training, Declan will be allowed to visit him once a week for five hours after orientation is finished-"

"Why did it decrease from twenty-four hours?" Kai asks with a pout.

Gabriel gives Kai a small smile. "Lance needs to spend most of his time and energy training, so he won't have large stretches of free time and since Declan isn't bonded to an angel, he can only visit him one a week."

Kai frowns. "But I'll be able to see Lance whenever I want since I have a bond with Raziel?"

Gabriel nods. "After orientation, yes. As long as Lance is taking a break from training, you can visit him. Keep in mind that he will be very busy, so it won't be for long periods unless you visit him during the times Declan visits." After Kai hums a response, Gabriel continues. "Lance would also need to leave next week because that's when the orientation for all the new grim reapers starts. The last thing is that Lance would have to be wiped from existence, so that when he returns to earth in a few years no one would recognise him."
