Diarmuid

I guide the way along with the young archangel walking beside me. I can see the worry clouded in his dark eyes as he think about Raziel.

Lots of guards stopped us before we manage to step out of the castle's premises.

I stand between the bellowing guard over Nuriel to tower him with my own height. Judging by the surprised look of the guard, he probably knows who I am, and that, he step aside to give us a way.

I look over at Nuriel who is sporting a bewildered look but follow me anyways.

"Who... Are you? I mean.. Who are you?" Nuriel asked, as he walk behind me. I didn't answered him yet but the kid doesn't let me get away easily.

He grabbed my arm and dig his nails to into my skin, probably if I am still a human like before, my skin would bleed.

But I am already dead, not really dead but somehow like that.

"I am talking to you, human." He said, firmly, wrapping his hand around my arm like a constrictor.

I gave him a timid smile "I---"

"Nuri!"

We both perked up and turn our heads to see Raziel, running into our direction, full of dirt and with caked blood all over his body.

Nuriel's hand loosen against my arm, I pulled away and narrow my eyes at Raziel.

I am very certain that Raziel was kidnapped and the demons won't let him go that easily.

"Razzie!" Nuriel jump into his arms and Raziel cage him in embrace.

I smiled a little "Hello, Raziel, glad to see you fine." His head turn at me, but the next thing I didn't expect for him to grinned widely, showing his set of pearly whites, without reaching his eyes.

How unusual to see him smile fakely.

"Hello uncle Dia, it's nice to see you." He said, casually, while rubbing Nuriel's back softly.

I nodded silently in response, he probably got the message as he tighten his arms around Nuriel, with his eyes not leaving mine.

I remain unfazed, not because I am already an immortal but I am willing to know what's going on.

Then the next thing I knew a long slender pitchfork tongue glided out of his mouth and lick his bottom lip maliciously, with his eyes shifting into serpent like slits.

I frozed to the spot, my heart's beating frantically against my chest as I stare at Raziel, or "Raziel".

"Heroic spirit, can you hear me, yes?"

I frowned a little as I hear a piercing child like voice in my head, I can hear him clearly, I know he knows it too.

"One wrong move and I will slit this kid's throat or you will never know where Raziel is. Be smart."

Irisviel

I am sitting alone in the bench of Garden of Pure Bloom with a book on my lap when someone stand before me, blocking the moonlight against the pages that I'm reading.

I grumpily look up only to see it was my "brother" or so what mom asked me to call him.

"What do you need?" I asked, I try not to sound rude since mom has eyes anywhere and I don't want to get the impression that I am being mean to him.

Raziel's lip tugged into a smirk as his hand caressed my cheek, I shudder to how his hand feel so cold against my skin.

"So beautiful, very gorgeous." He said, slowly. His silver eyes are fixated on mine.
