When The Devil Adores The Angel: The Fallen

Chapter 6.3: Companion and Investigation

Camael couldn't contain her excitement and playfully backflipped. "This is a reunion for us!"

Uriel, ever the practical one, urged, "We should head now," and with unanimous determination, they continued their rapid flight towards Siddartha, prepared to confront the mysteries that lay ahead.

The dark purple flowers in Siddartha continued to blink mysteriously, their meaning eluding both the people and the scientists who had gathered to investigate. Curiosity gnawed at the residents, prompting some to attempt to approach the enigmatic blooms, only to be thwarted by vigilant village officials.

"How many times do we have to tell you that no one will pass this barricade?" the officials reiterated sternly, their determination to keep people away from the flowers unwavering.

The scientists, who had returned to examine the situation, were astounded to find that the number of these strange flowers had multiplied significantly. "How can this be?" they wondered aloud, baffled by the inexplicable growth. "Last time it was only one, and in the past four days... this is unprecedented."

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on their minds. "And the people got hypnotized?" one of the scientists inquired, realizing the urgency of understanding the eerie connection between these blossoms and the trance-like state of the villagers.

The staff and scientists working diligently in Siddartha were growing increasingly frustrated by the situation. Despite the villagers remaining wide awake, they remained trapped in an unsettling state of unconsciousness, leaving the experts perplexed.

Desperation filled the air as they discussed their predicament. "Rest assured," one staff member reassured the scientists, "some people have mentioned that an angel is on their way to investigate. Perhaps this celestial being will shed some light on this enigma."

"An angel?" the scientists echoed in astonishment, clearly intrigued by the notion.

As they pondered their predicament, one of the scientists made an alarming discovery. Attempting to cut one of the petals for further analysis, they were met with resistance as the blade failed to penetrate the flower.

"I think this is beyond our field of expertise to solve this mystery plant," the scientist admitted with heavy breaths, sharing a sentiment of helplessness with the others.

A heavy silence fell over the group, leaving them to contemplate the eerie, dark purple glow that continued to emanate from the inexplicable flowers.

The arrival of the archangels in Siddartha stirred a buzz among the locals, who watched in awe as these celestial beings landed gracefully and folded their majestic wings. As the archangels walked through the village, the villagers couldn't help but stare, their curiosity piqued by the ethereal presence of these divine visitors.

The scientist in charge of the investigation soon made his way to the entrance of their dwelling, eager to meet the celestial guests. Overwhelmed by Jophiel's radiant beauty, he found himself momentarily stunned and even rubbed his eyes in disbelief before regaining his composure.

"Pardon me for that," he quickly apologized, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Allow me to introduce myself," he continued. "I am Doctor Lonan Vance, specializing in the study of plant ecology, their interactions with other organisms, and their influence on the environment."

Jophiel extended her hand with a gentle smile. "Pleasure to meet you, Doc Lonan. I am Archangel Jophiel, the Beauty of God, responsible for nurturing the life of plants, including these mysterious flowers, as well as the restoration of the natural world."

Their handshake marked the beginning of an intriguing collaboration between science and the divine, as they embarked on the quest to uncover the secrets of the enigmatic flowers.
