A World Divided

Angelic Stray

Later that night, Raphael did some meditation like he always likes to do. Raphael always meditated about different things between how his life has been fulfilled with things that he would never have dreamed of to how he should do more to help other angels. After his meditation, Raphael was just about to sleep when all of a sudden; he remembered something that the ancient said. 'Don't go over to the field of the unperceived.' "Why would the ancient not let me go over to the field of the unperceived if it's empty?" Raphael thought to himself. "I can't go over to the field, I know that, but if I don't ever go to the field of the unperceived, I'll never know why the ancient doesn't want any Angel over there." Raphael pondered this over and over and could never figure out what to do. Even if he thought that he will go over to the field, he never got the guts to make it over to the field. He would always go back and forget about the field until the next night. One night, Raphael finally convinced himself that he must and could make it to the field no matter what. Raphael made a plan. It was a plan that he deemed to be a perfect plan. It had to be Raphael thought. Otherwise I might get caught and sent for punishment for not listening to the ancient. "If I go along this path, I should be fine. Just in case, go around this way in case someone is wandering about for a late night check." Raphael was set and was on his way to find out why he wasn't supposed to go to the field of the unperceived. Raphael moved slowly and quietly. A mouse ran by and even if didn't hear Raphael. Many minutes past and Raphael was finally on the stretch to make it to the field. "I'm getting really close. Finally after all these times that I was too scared to make it here I finally made it this far." Raphael got closer and closer to the field and soon seen a light. It wasn't like any Raphael seen. It couldn't be other angels...could it? Raphael got a little closer and seen something that Raphael never wanted to see. It was a figure that looked so evil that it gave Raphael a creeping feeling and made Raphael run so fast. Raphael swore to himself that he would never go back to that field ever again.
