Max has not been awake since I've been talking with the death, wait, I didn't notice until now, where are we?
D: We are in the elevator that connects the holy and the damned lands. By the way, we'll arrive in thirty seconds, so if you got something to say, say it straight away, because time may pass when we see each other again…
I guess you are right... What I wanted to ask you was... What's your relationship with Samuel?
D: Do you really want to know?... -Sighs giggling- I'll answer that next time, it's too long... so many years... so many eons. Well, this is your floor, please be sure to say what I told you... Don't mess it up Kyu.
As soon as I realized she was no longer there… like it was mirage… Was I talking alone all this time or finally wake up with myself?… Ugh… Oh you awake… What did I miss?… my head hurts a lot… and my back too… It does feel way more heavier than before… Jeez… let me help you stand up… come on, ale hop! Mmm...there thanks Kyu, but, where are we? At the… paradise. My old home, I honestly don’t want to be here again… not again… By the way, later I’ll explain you why you feel yourself heavier… first we got some shit to do, follow me. Uhm… Ok… As soon as Kyu started walking I follow him step by step, it seems like being here made me him remembering memories into his head again… I can hear y’know?… S-sorry… It’s alright… We’ve arrived though. What I could see was a building that was shining like pure gold, my eyes were almost burnt by the light which the building reflected. As soon as we entered, I could see a large queue of what I could say were humans after the death… in other words, dead people.
Kyu: Uh… Max, are you feeling ok? You look really pale…
Max: Yeah, I’m alright… Do I really look that white? -as soon as I touch my cheeks I feel them burning.
Kyu had the reason, I wasn’t feeling alright, my body was boiling hot and my mind was going numb… Ugh, I cannot think clearly… Let me pick you up, We need to hurry, I’m starting to feel uneasy as well. We should end this as fast as possible.
Kyu: -Spots an angel writing and judging the dead people- Hey, you!
???: Huh? Who are you? Wait, black feathers…? -clicks what we could say it was a hidden mechanism in his lectern, which was made of white and cream marble.
As soon as she activated the mechanism, I knew what was coming to us. Then, what we could say it was my brothers and sisters, came into a rush holding their lances. Who would say it, that the same family which I raised myself up with, now would be holding weapons against me, ironic, Sentinels meeting the renegade. I recognized some of their faces… my partners, my peers, whatever they were… now, holding their guns towards me.
???: I didn’t notice at first, long time no see Kyu. How has been your life since then, you scumbag. For us, we have downgraded thanks to you and that brat.
I honestly don’t regret about falling. Isn’t the job of a guardian angel to take care of your chosen one? I just was doing my job. If that means I made a huge mistake, it’s fine, because I did my job well til’ it’s the end. And suddenly, out of nowhere, I felt a hit on my right cheek, not with a hand, neither a finger, a spear. I had been hit by the handle and not by the blade, but it hurt anyway. Sacred lances which can kill demons if they are stabbed in the right place, tearing apart the meat and blood from the demon or fallen angel and letting them feel the disappointment of God. Even with the handle can hurt one very bad, and I won’t be that exception, I felt how my teeth were being broken with it and I had nothing else than deal with the pain. Before they land another hit on me I should say what Lady D. told me, I don’t want to pay for my “sins” yet.
Kyu: You think it would be fine if you execute us, right? But, think it twice because here it is what we could call a mistake from God -My eyes described rage and truth.
???: Don’t even look at me with those filthy black eyes, and you should be ashamed, God’s never wrong.
Kyu: Then tell me why he was converted into a demon if he never did a single sin in his life, I could corroborate it but you wouldn’t trust me, Am I wrong?
???: … -Her expression turned into a homicidal look, and a conversion was starting, she was turning into a demon, but then one of the other angels came and calm her down before it was too late.
Kyu: At this moment I think I am not a very trustful source of information, then check it out with the system.
And then, she moved her spear with grace making a little cut on my right cheek, just down my eye. It was really painful, containing the pain and the scream at the very deep inside of me. When I recovered myself, I saw her with a horrified expression on her face, like she has seen the Antichrist. That only meant that Max didn’t commit a sin in his whole life and that he used his powers once again. I hope we could make it out alive.
