The Fallen

Chapter 3 - Bom's Plan

Trees as far the eye can see, a little bit foggy, the earthly smell, the quietness, coolness, moss growing on the trunks. The sound of a stream that followed gets louder until it thunders over a fall into a lake. The birds chirping happily, it’s a peaceful sight, if only the humans can preserve these kinds of environment, it’ll be a lovely place to live in, even for us.

This is what I’ve been doing for the past hour, finding peace and quiet, I want to savor this moment because I can sense a distressed mind coming to me right now.

It’s been a while since I’ve encountered a problem like this, an angel becoming a nephilim, it’s heartbreaking when an angel choose the humans over the life they have here in heaven. But it’s even more heartbreaking when they lose their purpose in the human world and become a wanderer there. As much as I want to help them to return, I can’t because there’s a rule that we must all obey. But there’s always an exemption in every rule, they must find what those exemptions are for them to be able to return.

The two distressed minds are coming nearer, both are feeling guilty over something that they’ve done. It’s disheartening to listen to one of them because fear, worry and guilt is evident in her mind. She’s suffering for the loss of her friend, but none of those should happen if only she listened to my explanation about the passages.

Hope, I’ll give her hope to hold on, that no matter how complicated their situations is, they can still find a way to overcome those complications. It’ll be a long journey, it’ll be hard but I’ll be optimistic that Bom will be able to bring Dara back here.

Bom’s POV

I’m already freaking out, it’s been hours since Dara went to the Human World and I’m really worried of what had happened to her there. It’s all my fault, none of this will happen if I gather more information about the things that I needed to know before I decided to tell Dara of my plans. None of this will happen if I didn’t impulsively suggest to her to meet the human, or better yet, if I just shut my mouth and let her silently watch him. I sobbed quietly as I let Minzy lead me to where the great pontiff is currently at.

I don’t know exactly where we are, but we’re in a beautiful field filled with violet, yellow and soft white wild flowers, it was a mesmerizing sight. If Dara is here, I’m sure she’ll like this place. As I watch the flowers dance with the wind, I remembered the time I found that Dara have a special feeling toward a certain human. It shocked me at first because it’s wrong but in the end I just kept my eyes close because that’s what makes her happy. She’s like a sister to me, so I silently supported her and watched in the sideline how her fondness grew for the human.

As I utter a silent prayer for the safety of my friend, I didn’t realize that we’ve already reached our destination. I saw the Great Pontiff standing under a shade of a tree as if waiting for us to arrive. I’m about to go nearer to him but Minzy beats me to it, she went straight to him and kneel in front of him.

“Forgive me sir, I’ve committed a gravest mistake, due to my carelessness and neglect, an angel entered in the Eastern Passage. I’m so sorry sir, I’ll accept whatever punishment you’ll bestow upon me.” Minzy said, her head was bowed down while confessing to the great pontiff.

Jae Sang stared down at her with a soft look on his eyes as if contemplating on something, but before he can say a word, I interrupted him.

“Please sir, I need your help. I’m Bom, I’m the watcher who sought for your help about the passages last time, I need your help again, please.” I begged.
