And there we go, once more to the so beloved human world, I feel something strange in my chest, my heart pumps strongly, I feel my fingertips give a slight tremor… How will it come out? This time I’m not going to observe, but to fight in protection of the human.
I look at Zaniel beside me, if he is anxious, only observing his face it is not possible to know, he is calmly serious, in his hands there is a notebook to write down everything that the human does right and wrong, attached to him there is a special sky blue feather, it is special because it is not necessary the use of ink to write.
– Are you anxious for the first mission? – I have a lot of talking, this silence is driving me crazy.
– I might even be if I were to perform what I was really created to do – he says coldly.
I understand, I mean… I think I understand, it can’t be easy to prepare yourself for a whole year and in the end end end up doing another angel’s mission. I can’t say that I know which feeling it is, because I always knew that my duty was to stay with this notebook, but I always prepared my body to fight, always hoping to have a different destiny.
– I am sorry that it is you who has to exchange places with me – I speak with my head down, not wanting to cause even more difference between us.
– No problem, everyone knows that for you all human beings would have had their existence extinguished and new human beings created.
– Do you think you will have to write down a lot of things today? – I try to change the direction of that conversation.
– I’m just taking it for the sake of taking it, I don’t need to make notes until she is three years old – I didn’t know that information.
– Why? – I can’t hide the curiosity in my voice.
– She still has no conscience of what is right and wrong, she has no notion of anything at all, she is a pure and innocent being.
With this information I even feel guilty, but if humans are not born bad, what made them fall so low?
In the midst of these thoughts Zaniel and I land in front of the portal. Zaniel hands one of the guardians the authorization, he takes it, stamps it and puts it in the mail to return to Suriel’s office.
– Good luck, and may the lord bless you and that you return safely – they speak and push us inside the portal.
Here inside nothing makes sense, the colours are mixed, in my ears buzzing is present, I have already crossed this portal twice, but I still can’t get used to it.
“I wonder what he meant by ‘come back safely’ ? – I think before being launched into the earth’s atmosphere, here gravity is heavier, it takes me a few seconds until my wings get used to it again.
– Follow me – Zaniel says and so I do.
I notice that we are going outside the city, and we are flying very high, so high that the human beings look like little ants. Zaniel goes down in a nook outside the city, here it is empty, without any human being around. I frown, why are we here?
– You missed a lot of practical classes, so I imagine you don’t know that humans can see us.
– I was here yesterday, and none of them saw me,” I say, not understanding what Zaniel is talking about.
– Probably coach Suriel used something to hide his presence – he says rolling his eyes – Pay attention, humans can’t see us at all!
– But if Suriel used something to hide my presence, what do I do now? – I feel my fingertips freeze again.
– Concentrate, when you manage to become translucent, your eyes will change colour, they are blue right now, but when you hide your presence they will become black – Zaniel is clear in his explanation.
I take a deep breath, I shake my hands in an attempt to stop the cold sweat, I close my eyes and try to concentrate as much as possible, I close my hands into fists, I see a thin thread in a bright blue colour, its colour is getting weaker and weaker, I calm my breathing even more and this thread is totally in the most complete darkness. Then I open my eyes.
– My most sincere congratulations, it is the first time that I witness an angel manage to become translucent in his first attempt – he says and I smile proud of myself – Well, now let us go to meet “our” protected one.
As soon as he finishes speaking he picks up momentum and flies again, the difference is that now he flies lower, a little above the humans’ heads. I put my sword on my waist and follow him.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
It doesn’t take long and we reach our destination, different from the first time, we didn’t go to the hospital, we landed in front of a small house, its walls are cream coloured. We go through the door, and in the living room the first thing we see is a child sitting playing with a doll, I look curious, who is this child? Her hair is dark brown with loose curls, she seems to be more or less one year old, but how? Yesterday I saw her being born!
– Is this playtime!? – I see the blonde haired woman appear, her appearance is tired and bad It’s not enough to be defective! – she ignorantly takes the doll from the girl’s hand and throws it on the floor, holds the child’s arm and leaves dragging her along the corridor.
I stare at that scene.
– Who is this child Zaniel? – I ask without understanding anything of what I just saw.
– That’s Elisa, don’t you recognize her? – he asks me with a raised eyebrow.
– But I saw her being born yesterday! How come she’s already that big! – I ask incredulously.
– The time here is not like in paradise, Anael, one day for us there, is one year here – my jaw drops to the floor with this information.
– And how are we going to go back and forth every day to paradise? – I hope things don’t get even worse.
