Chapter 10. A Dangerous Mind

Samyaza reached Armaros' den in no time. They had been at the same post before. Armaros was a peculiar character. He was the most un-angelic angel Samyaza had ever met.

One of the things that distinguished Armaros was his pragmatism. He would never mingle with words, and he would always look after himself first and foremost.

Once Armaros looked at Samyaza's face, he just knew what had happened to him.

"Hello brother, how are you?" Samyaza greeted Armaros.

Armaros squinted his eyes, stayed silent for a while and studied Samyaza's whole stance carefully.

"So, when did you lose your veil brother?" he asked.

Samyaza was a little disconcerted, but after all this was Armaros, one of the angels that had magic and enchantments under his command.

"So you knew," he accused.

"Of course. Who do you think I am?" Armaros asked. "I lost mine a long time ago."

"You did?"Samyaza questioned, surprised.

"Oh Sammy, you're still kind of innocent," Armaros laughed.

"What else is true?" Samyaza questioned looking at Armaros with cold eyes.

"The love and passion thing, totally true."

"I know," Samyaza stated coldly.

"You do? Oh my God!" Armaros huffed, laughing.

"How...?" Samyaza started, thinking about how to ask Armaros the question burning in his mind. "Is it possible to cause the veil to fall?"

A sinister glint showed in Armaros' eyes. He looked intrigued. Such an interesting question coming from Sammy.

"Let's suppose it can be done. Why are you asking, Sammy?"

"Let's suppose I'm interested in...someone,"Samyaza answered vaguely.

"An angel, of course. Male or female?" Armaros asked shamelessly.

Samyaza hesitated. He had lost his veil and acquired shame along with other emotions. Still, this was too important for him to be deterred by anything.

"Male," he finally answered.

Armaros was amused to no end. This was just hilarious. The great and mighty Samyaza was in lust with a male angel.

"Okay, anything is doable, but..." Armaros paused.

"But?" Samyaza inquired, expectantly. He felt like Armaros was toying with him. He was not used to being the source of anyone's amusement.

"There is a risk," Armaros continued, "there is another legend."

"What legend?" Samyaza wanted to know, exasperated. Was nothing certain in this Universe? Was every myth and legend true?

"My sources are a little...shady," Armaros said, "but it seems that we were created in pairs."

"And?" Samyaza was losing his patience.

"That means even if you cause the fall of an angel's veil there is absolutely no guarantee that he or she will fall in love with you. He or she would fall in love with his intended one," Armaros explained.

"That sounds like total bullshit, you know that, right?" Samyaza had finally emptied his patience reserve.

"I'm just telling you, brother. There is no guarantee. You could be doing the work, and others would benefit from it," Armaros said very seriously.

Samyaza looked pensive. That idea caused him to feel a wave of nausea. How could humans live like this? He wondered. All these new emotions were almost unbearable for him.

"It's a risk I'll have to take, isn't it?" Samyaza answered.

"Are you convinced?" Armaros asked, still doubtful.

"I am. I'll do anything to get what I want. Anything." Samyaza stated firmly.

"However..."Armaros left his sentence unfinished.

"Yes?" Samyaza knew the cost would be named now.

"It will have a...price," Armaros said while looking at Samyaza with a calculating stare.

"Of course," was Samyaza's response.

"You see, my brother. I like it here. I don't think I will be able to fit in heaven again," was Armaros' explanation.

"And this is related to me because...?" Samyaza inquired.

"I have some plans that require your help," Armaros stated.

Samyaza smirked. "How can I be of assistance, brother?"

"I need you to gather a group of our kind and convince them that here on Earth we will have some advantages and that we can stay here...indefinitely," Armaros told Samyaza.

"In other words..." Samyaza asked, full of doubts.

"I need you to command a little rebellion," Armaros finally spoke.

"Are you asking me to go against the Lord?" Samyaza asked incredulously.

"Exactly!" Armaros smiled.

"And what is in it for me?" Samyaza asked, eyes icy and uncaring.

"The fall of the veil of whoever it is that you want. Do we have a deal?" Armaros offered him his hand.

"We do, brother," Samyaza took Armaros'hand, sealing their deal.

"By the way, who is it that you want?" Armaros questioned.

Samyaza smirked and said: "I want Wei Wuxian, the silver angel."
