Chaos's POV
3 months later...
I stood at the edge of the construction sight for the new Mansion. I could see my dear brother, followed closely by an Angel, obviously his High General of Heaven.
"Kachi, to what do I owe the pleasure? It is obviously not to return my messenger demon, as he isn't here. Perhaps to smite me for the destruction my little war caused to the humans? Or perhaps to take back your little spy?" He took a deep breath, and sighed loudly.
"Oh my dear little sister, you insult me so. I only came to offer my condolences on your casualty in the war. Kasumi was very helpful in my quest to keep you from harm. I suppose I do have ulterior motives. I will be setting up a base here on the Earth. I wondered if perhaps a few of my angels could lodge here with you."
"Kachi, look around there is no 'here', just a construction site."
"Abbey. Your tricks haven't fooled me in many centuries, and they will not start to now. There is a reason you met me at the edge of your little camp, is there not?"
"No there isn't. I was just afraid if you step a foot on it, I would have to start all over again." He chuckled, then snapped his fingers. My illusion shattered like a crystal bowl hit with a sledge hammer.
"This is Meg. She will be staying here, whether on the borders of the Mansion or inside is up to you." The angel looked excitedly around at my new and improved Mansion.
Meg's POV
To say I was amazed would be an understatement. I was in complete awe. The gardens that surrounded the large building went on for at least a mile. The 'Mansion' as The Lord God had called it, must have been huge for me to see it at this distance. I could only imagine.... How many Snickers could I fit in a space this large? At least a decade supply worth.
