When we reached, I saw a skyscrapper in front of me. As we entered the huge building, I observed that the place had been beautifully lit. The room had a big hall, as big as our entire school with a black crystal pendant chandelier hanging from the ceiling.

"Where are we?" I asked the stranger as he walked in front of me.

"This is where all the angels that have turned human stay. It's a place angels can call home." He replied.

"There are so many angel turned humans?" I asked. I wasn't aware that so many angels turned human and neither did I know that there was a place where they could stay. Does Coel know about this as well?

"Yes, Coel does." He answered to my thought. It was quite weird having someone to read my mind. It was as if my privacy had been invaded.

"You can block others from reading them. Although it's a complex method you will not understand. At least not yet." He said reading my thoughts again.

"Why don't you try explaining?" I asked.

"You don't know enough about your powers. There is much more you can do, but you don't have a clue how it all works." He said.

"I've been using my powers for quite long you know." I said. "It's better if I learn them now. It'll help me in future in the human world."

"See, you're quite amature. You can't use your powers in the human world." He said. I didn't like him calling me an amature. I was never taught of these things, despite staying for so long in the angel world.

"You're only diverting the topic and telling that I'm amature. You don't answer my questions at all." I said.

"Well, you ask too many questions." He replied.

"Well that's because I have no one to answer them for me." I argued.

"Doesn't Coel answer your questions?" He asked stopping in between and sorting out a few papers on a desk and then continuing to walk.

I sighed and said, "He does, but he leaves the answers to the important questions aside."

He takes time to think, maybe because he doesn't have an answer to that. "How do you know Coel? Why haven't I been taught more about powers and left in the dark? And why do angels give their black notes back to turn human?" I asked. "Answer these questions for me and I will listen to you politely, not interrupting you any more."

"I know Coel from a long time ago. He created quite a mess when he had been handed over the responsibility to look after you." He said. "Don't you remember?"

"No, I don't remember. Those days are quite vague in my memory. I don't know why." I said, being honest. "What about the other two questions?"

"The reason why you weren't taught more is because you haven't been an angel for quite as along as I, or any other angel with full knowledge has, which trust me, is quite longer than you think." He said. "You need to know much more than just guide the deceased to the underworld and have a black note. There is much more we do."

"Hasn't Coel lived longer than I have? Then how is he still guiding the deceased when you say there is much more?"

"You don't remember do you? That's why he created a chaos when he got to know that he had to teach you." He said. I didn't quite understand his answer and before I could think of asking him to elaborate he explained, "A senior angel, that is Coel, who has been given the duty to teach a junior, like you, never gets the chance to learn more about the angel world. Coel doesn't know more about the angel world either, he has only heard about it from others."
