Miss Dolores was around thirty years old and stood five and six feet tall, her looks are of African descent and most men look at her with admiration due to her curvy body, adding soft fine mocha-like complexion and her eyes her biggest asset for one reason her eyes have two different colour, one is blue and the other one is green. Ramiel would always ask about her eyes she would just say

"Such a silly boy they are different cuz I am a witch."

Ramiel would run laughing as Miss Dolores would run after him and mercilessly tickle him until he would cry out the word please stop.

she was wearing tribal necklaces and earrings that she once told Amelia were her only connection to her ancestors. as they walk in a long corridor, four doors line up from left to right, and kids from all of those doors kids were poking their heads out trying to get a view to who was visiting Miss Dolores. the kids saw it was a pale tall woman who was a few inches taller than their teacher, a few kids were murmuring saying that even if she looked worn out and her skin no near Miss Dolores's soft skin,

The woman who was with her had long black hair up to her shoulders, her eyes looked exhausted dark circles were already visible even from afar as the kids stare at her with curiosity before long she, Amelia, and Ramiel was going inside the kitchen at the very end of the hall, at that moment the children stop looking at them but before entering their respective rooms they talk to each other and said that the pale young woman was still beautiful like Cinderella.

Some Kids in the church orphanage and nursery were taller and older than Ramiel who was turning 5 years old tomorrow morning never pester his mother about receiving gifts, he was an energetic and smart young man he stood three and three feet tall, like her mother, he was rather thin with short black hair, last year ago she always wanted to tell Amelia about the wild and amazing things her son did as they walk she mentions that Ramiel has a strong sense of belief in never giving up.

she shared one of those moments a few days ago she saw him staying outside the nursery playground just staring at the jungle gym, his attention was fixated on proving that he can finish the monkey bar exercise that he sadly failed to do before, that failure was too much for him to forget, he just stood there quietly for about 5 minutes then he climbed up the monkey bars to the very last bar step crab the first horizontal bar with his right hand and a deep breath, he dangles from the very first bar and with all of his strength he extended his left hand to swing and reach the second one but even before the tips of his left finger could touch the second bar as he was already falling to the muddy soil.

after falling he just waited a few seconds and started to look at both of his hands, opening and closing his hands 5 times and then he stood up again and walk back to the monkey bars like his life depended on it. she saw her son's determination and tried it again and again, his tenacity was beyond understanding even after falling a few dozen times on the first hold of the bar travelling to the second bar he would just do it again after falling.

the other kids saw this and were dumbfounded, not even her persuasion could not stop him from finally giving up. the monkey bars in the church orphanage playground were 5 feet tall and had a ten-bar walk, every time he would fall he would just hold in his tears and stand up and walk the beginning and climb back up the bars and start all over again, he never told his mother about she just assumed he was playing with the other kids whenever she would pick him up he was really dirty and covered in dust and dirt, so unknown to his mother he would do this right after Miss Dolores's class lesson. he would just climb those bars like a task he desperately needs to accomplish.

she and the other kids would just watch him cheering him on with claps and words of encouragement, all 14 kids became more interested in what he was doing, rather than spending their free time playing among themselves. the kids just stop playing and sat in front of the jungle gym and started to place a bet on how many days Ramiel would last. silently a food desserts bet started to gain momentum, names were being listed down by the eldest, some betted 3 days' worth of desserts others a week's worth. the kids couldn't contain their excitement there was a huge disserts pot was waiting for the winner.

until a low tome voice said she will bet a month of her type of dessert in the betting pot the kids look around and saw their teacher leaning downward toward them with a nasty maniacal stare, the eldest of the orphan just wrote down her name trying his best to calm his trembling hand and place the bet in a month's worth of her creamy mouth-watering cookie snacks that he would finish the said task in nine days. the young bet master looked at her and extended a handshake to seal the deal., both of them laugh and waited it took him a total of 3 days to finally finish and accomplish the 10-bar climb walk at the height of 5 feet, one hour per free play time every day and he finally conquered it on the third day, a loud thundering cheer burst out from the pot winner shared his winning dessert to him. he was happy and surprise that he could finally taste and eat the free cookies.

Miss Dolores ended the story as Ramiel's mother Amelia was laughing so hard. that tears were falling from her eyes due to the joy she was experiencing. then he ask "are you ok mama?" she answered back with delight

" I am just so happy son."

he held his mom's hand more firmly as they enter the orphanage kitchen. while Miss Dolores was busy preparing a small meal for Amelia, the two sat at one of a few large dining tables, enough to accommodate forty people, the mother, and son were talking about the things he learned in class and the little adventures that the kids were doing early that morning.

the aroma filled the kitchen and made his nose twitch like a dog following that tasty smell he saw Miss Dolores was cooking some soup and a few pieces of bread. this made Amelia's stomach growl, even more, he heard it and decide to put his ear near his mother's stomach. at that very moment, she smiles and stares at her mother with a mischievous giggle. Amelia suddenly got embarrassed as two bowls of soup were placed on the table. she asked him to get the basket of her chocolate cookie stash for them to share and eat.

while eating she asked Amelia about her day and was curious about why she was early today. and she openly answered her with a sad look on her face, after a heartfelt conversation she stood up and went to the nearest cabinet in her kitchen and took out a small box, and placed it on the table Miss Dolores asked him if he could go to her office right next to the kitchen and get her small leather red bag it a keychain of a Smurf on it, with excitement he stood up and casually walked toward the room.

while away Miss Dolores opened the box and took out a necklace and held Amelias' left hand and place the said necklace on it saying this is a gift from her mother back when she was still young, it was a protective necklace that luckily helped her many times against danger. and told Amelia to always wear it and just accept her gift as a way of thanking her for all the help she and her family gave before.

Amelia was a bit hesitant but after she told her the reason, she gladly accepted it as soon as she put it on her neck, young Ramiel came back into the kitchen and went up to Miss Dolores, and with a big smile he extended his arm and showed her the bag. she leans forward and took it from his hand and patted you, boy, on the head, he was happy but a little confused, he thought there was no reason for her to ask him to take her bag because there was nothing important in it just a small notebook and a metallic old ball pen that she hardly use at all.

she saw the mischievous look on his face and said if he opened her bag and peek what was inside, he looked back with a salute, and then he said yes without even thinking twice and told her that his curiosity was too blamed. she kisses him on the forehead and openly said to him Curiosity is one of the most permanent and certain characteristics of a vigorous intellect you are a very lucky woman to give birth to this little rascal.

and their conversation continues for more than an hour after all that laughter and sharing Amelia helped her clean the dishes, young Ramiel was helping in his small way by wiping the plates and handing the dry plate to Miss Dolores to be placed back in the cabinet.

as soon as they were all done Ramiel wipe his hand and held her mother's hand once again as they were accompanied by Miss Dolores back into the orphanage door. as the mother and son walked out of the door Miss Dolores placed both her hand on their heads and spoke a Latin Phrase. Ramiel looked back as to what does it mean, Miss Dolores said it was to protect them from harm.

Ramiel waved back Amelia said thank you and bowed her head. it was already past five o clock in the afternoon while walking further and further away from where she was standing, while looking at their back a shadowy image emerged from Miss Dolores's back and whispered something to her that made her shudder in dread.

she wanted to run toward them and stop them from leaving but she knew the things she did today were already stepping beyond the rules of l'Assemblée Infâme. she bite her lip causing it to bleed a little and just stared at their back as they slowly vanish from her sight.
