I told Lucifer that I won't be able to visit him today, because the other archangels might get suspicious about me. Even if he looked quite hesitant, he just let me and I was happy for that because despite being the devil himself, he still considered me.
It was another day and I was glad that the archangels didn't have any schedules for today. It was their day off, Sunday. I actually didn't know that they had a day off, but, well, now I know. They told me that God does everything during Sundays.
The sunlight hit my skin yet it felt so refreshing, feeling the sunlights seeping in my skin for a while. We were seated on the grassy front yard of the Seven's home, Chamuel and I.
He had a cup of tea poured for me and himself, as he gazed up at the sky.
"You know, I always wondered what made you and Azrael become best friends when that idiot can be a brat sometimes," said Chamuel, causing me to laugh at what he said. He chuckled, and then took a sip of his tea.
"Well, if that's the case, then I guess I am an idiot as well. Hey, can I ask you a question? We haven't talked to each other alone, right?" I asked, and he slowly nodded.
"Yeah, I kinda figured too. That's why I am here, trying to talk to you alone. Thank you very much," he said, so I chuckled. "What's your question?"
"Um, can you tell me some stories of your duties? I mean, only if you want to. Because I was just curious. Azrael's duties seem enjoyable yet dangerous and scary at the same time, too. What about yours?" I asked, and he smiled at me.
"Easy. Whenever someone needed some restoration in their relationship with people, I help them. Whenever they needed divine relationship, with God, mostly, I help them find the right way. I kind of guess that my duty is really peaceful, but when I make a deal with those who don't believe in God, I just have a headache," Chamuel explained, chuckling, making me laugh. He was actually easy to talk to yet I haven't had the chance to talk to him like this before.
"That's great." I said, and he gave me a smile then nodded.
He then stood up, so my eyes followed where he was going. He then smiled at me and said that he needed to do something so I just nodded and let him.
For a few seconds, I sat there thinking about everything that happened to me since I got in this realm.
I was surprised when I felt someone sitting down next to me, and I turned my head to see Ariel.
I blinked rapidly when I saw that he was in his female form, or shall I say she? Whatever.
She smirked at me so I grinned at her, and then she ruffled my hair.
"Shocked, aren't you?" Ariel asked, and I slightly nodded.
"Yeah, because I usually see you as a male. Although Jophiel told me that angels can choose their gender or appearance from time to time because angels really don't have gender. But still, damn," I said, and she laughed.
"I guess. I just wanna tell you that Jophiel is looking for you inside. She said something about breakfast," Ariel said, and I nodded then stood up with her help.
Ariel started walking so I followed her, and we were going towards the front door. I really was shocked that she chose to be a female today for some reason. I was curious why.
When we got in, we saw Jophiel, Michael and Gabriel sitting on the couch while eating sandwiches.
"Hey, Kassandra. You haven't eaten breakfast yet. Here," said Jophiel, and I sat next to her and took the sandwich she was giving me.
Ariel then sat down next to me and took a sandwich, too. I saw her being covered by yellowish gold like smoke, and before I knew it, Ariel turned back into his male form.
"Good thing you did that. I can't stand seeing you like that," said Gabriel, snickering, causing Ariel to throw a pillow at him.
"Idiot, you just don't appreciate my beauty as archangel of the nature," said Ariel, causing all of us to laugh.
"Yeah, Gabriel. You just can't. You're the only one who feels uncomfortable seeing Ariel like that," said Michael, and I smiled.
"See? That look on Kassandra's face shows that she feels the same way as I do!" Said Gabriel, and I laughed.
"I guess, Gabriel's right. I kinda feel uncomfortable seeing Ariel in female form, too. It just seems so weird," I said, and Gabriel gave me a high five.
As we ate, we all talked about things that we aren't able to talk about on a daily basis because everyone's just way too busy.
We talked about ourselves, and about everything that anyone in the group might wanna know about.
When I was on my way back to my room, I passed by the entertainment room, hearing the sound of a violin so I was quite curious. It can't be Azrael because he told me that he was gonna explore the Realm earlier for fun. The only one it could be is Raphael, so I was quite hesitant to go in.
Swallowing my pride and everything, I went inside and was instantly met by Raphael's figure, playing the violin as if it was a part of his body.
"Oh, Kassandra. I didn't see you," he said, stopping what he was doing which made me shake my head.
I then sat down on the single sofa seat by him, and he tilted his head.
"Hey, don't stop. It was soothing. I didn't know you knew how to play the violin," I said, and he chuckled at me.
"Yeah, well, you never really asked. You were always with Azrael or out so we never had the chance to catch up with each other." He said, brushing his hair back a bit and continuing what he was playing a while ago.
"I guess. I'm sorry. Also, thank you for the crystal, I really appreciate it." I said, and he smiled at me then nodded.
"Just wanted to make sure that you're safe. Before- nothing. Never mind," he said, and I furrowed my brows.
"Before what?" I asked, and he smiled at me then shook his head.
"Don't mind it," he explained, and I slowly nodded. He then stopped playing and placed the violin by a shelf and approached me.
He stopped right in front of me and then gestured for me to take his hand so I did. It was kind of embarrassing because he was kinda my crush the first time I got here, but then I start thinking about Lucifer. I guess I kinda developed a crush on Lucifer, too.
Raphael then led me to the couch so we sat down together, then he played a tv show on the television. It was something unfamiliar, but I guessed that it was because the channel was of angels'.
"This show is called Angels Cry, and the story is about an angel who is in charge of making people happy. But still, that angel is full of loneliness for she sucks up all the people's loneliness just to make them happy. It shows that even angels have emotion, and that what they do, their duties, is only for the benefit of others," Raphael said, and I nodded in understanding.
"That's pretty good. Do you watch it often?" I asked, and he smirked then shook his head.
"Nope."
"Liar."
"I guess I am,"
"Goodness-"
"Don't tell the others. They'll tease me."
They're fun to be with. But I couldn't imagine myself fighting with these archangels back then. But what if history repeated itself, will I be able to fight them or am I going to fight alongside them?
I really wanna know.
