Guardian angel

4 : Realm red

The only good news in this whole mess is that Jace Miller is in realm red.

I can't wrap my head around what has happened the last few days. I feel the need to have someone come and organise my thoughts for me. Since there is no one to do, it lets get to it. Here are the facts that I am aware of. I am going to be a guardian angel to a human male. This is despite that I've literally just finished my two-decade long training to fulfil my lifelong dream of becoming a realm angel. Realm angel training is more focused on strength, technique, combat skills and less on an emotional level. It's unlikely that a realm angel can ever want get close to an earth being. Guardian angel assignment usually remain for the whole life of the being that is guarded, and realm angels must shift realms every decade. However, for some mysterious reason, this human Jace Miller only wants a guardian for ten years.

And here are the facts that I don't know. Why does Jace Miller, the human, require the protection of an angel more skilled than a guardian angel? Why was this requested by the King himself? Why can't my parents simply let me to be a realm angel? I don't have any guardian angel qualities. I feel like I'm squandering my abilities on futile endeavours. Is the queen aware of this? Of course, yes, that's probably the only answer I know. Because nothing happens without the queen's knowledge. What if this human Jace is insignificant and they don't want a guardian angel wasting time on such an ordinary human. I say ordinary because, believe me, he appears to be rather ordinary.

3034 and I try to be inconspicuous as we spy Jace Miller. From our hiding spot atop a tree, we spot the human sitting in the back of a classroom. simply wanted to learn what made him so special. I can only make out his shape from where we are stood. Nothing he does appears unusual for a person. Of course, my understanding of humanity comes from literature only.

We don't officially commence our assignment until the next day, so we figured now would be a good time to investigate the human. As dusk neared, we followed the human male to place where a lot of cars were arranged outside the educational compound. When the human gets into the car, I get a better view of him. He is rather handsome, though he dresses relatively poorly in comparison to his peers. His clothing lacked lustre and didn't have an ironed look. He was wearing sunglasses that hid his eyes from me. With his black hair shabby and unkempt, his perfectly shaped nose and full lips he looks very good indeed. On the other side, another human, this time a female, enters the car. This other human, whom I suppose to be his sister, has a completely opposite aesthetic. Her clothes are very clean and neat. She has dark brown hair and a tanned skin tone. Her green eyes grow in size when she turns to Jace and talk animatedly.

We have no relevant information on the human male from our spy operation. He has some problems with his foster parents, but nothing too substantial, but his sister, whom he appears to genuinely care for, is verbally mistreated by his foster mother. It would have made more sense if I had been instructed to guard Lisa Miller, his sibling. He excels in some sports in college and is well-liked by his peers. I'm curious why he doesn't have many female acquaintances I wonder why that is. The only issue I perceive is the foster mother's excessive alcohol consumption. Unless I'm misinformed and he's being threatened by magical entities.

Realm red is only inhabited by humans, fairies, and the rare visit from Mer-folk. Fairies hate to involve any other being in their problems. I suppose I'll soon find out why he requires a guardian angel.

3034 and I head down to the house we plan to inhabit for the next decade which is opposite Jace's. A realm angel usually stays in a remote dwelling far from other beings. 3034 was nice enough to stay with me near Jace's house. The dwelling we chose is quite cute if I do say so myself. The house had 2 bedrooms, a small kitchen and a living room. We are discussing how we would disguise ourselves as he is fixated on becoming a teacher and I'm trying to persuade him otherwise.

"Like I said you look to young to be a teacher." I speak.

"No, no, listen to me I'll be the young teacher the students will respect. And this will hopefully limit my interactions with the lot." He says turning to me as we were walking down a narrow road that leads to the small house we bought.

"What shall I be then? I can't be a teacher since I look like a small girl, and do you think Jace Miller would want to be friends with a teacher?" I try whining and walking in reverse in front of him.

"Listen I think you should be his peer. I hear humans are usually friends with their classmates rather than a teacher. I have in mind a stereotypical persona that you can try to emulate. It's from the film Mean Girls. She is called Regina." he smiles at some thought. He has been urging that I watch television and read more human literature in order to better comprehend emotions. I have read a few books by humans. Yes, they were good. But I've always like reading works by other species, such as werewolves, considering their narrative is far more interesting and more accurate. Humans have never really piqued my attention, and I find them fairly slow.

"Mean girl? What in the name of Angel 100's wings is that? If you haven't noticed I am here to help him, be good not to do mean things with him. Its better if we both were students be a student like me." I pondered.

We got to our house it looked cosy and sweet but that can be my biased opinion because I got to pick the place.

"A teacher is respected not just by the students, but also by the whole realm. And I probably won't have time to be an actual student." He explains.
I knew he was right; I was behaving selfishly and that's not a quality an angel should harbour. We angels are taught first to keep our secret next to be selfless.

I realised his decision cannot be swayed he is set on being a teacher and I am probably going to be his student. The inside of the house was bare and empty; it would take some time to call it home. We began filling in furniture with angel magic, of course, and when that was done, planned for the next day, which was both of our first days at collage. We require human identities.

I suggested we be siblings, but 3034 believes that would be awkward in collage. It's not like he can pretend to me be my father or anything. If he has something better, I'm all ears.
"Why don't we be just friends a student can have a teacher as a friend right?" he suggested
.okay sure, when I said the same in regards to the human he thought differently. Some fights I don't win.

"So, what's your name going to be?" I asked

"I'm thinking of Christopher Robin students will call me Professor Robin and you Chris. What do you think? It's also from a human literature called whine the poo"

"I think it's cool." A little too cool maybe because the only thing I have come up with is half a name. I have to think of it fast before college starts so that when I go to the college my files can be set up.

By dinner I have watched the film 3034 recommended. The film was lacked moral and I don't know how 3034 likes this. "My name will be Regina something" I told him.

In the film Regina George is the character that most of the humans want to be friend with so I guess I can try to be like her. However, I didn't want George so I will have to think of something else.

"Something doesn't seem like a decent name," 3034 remarked. "Let me come up with a name for you and I'll do your documents for you."

"Oh thanks 3034 I mean Chris" now that is good news.

After dinner I really had nothing to do. 3034 turned in early I know he is going to start searching for his father after all that is why he wanted to come here in the first place. There was nothing else to keep me busy I lay in my bed and I let my mind wander to Jace Miller.
