Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 13: Various Powers Start Moving

"Welcome, Chairman", said the guards simultaneously.

The leader walked towards the throne, greeted by bodyguards lined up on the side of the black carpet. They all bent their knees with pitch-black wings spread wide on their backs.

The leader walked on the steps, and then he sat on a black chair with his feet on his thighs. He leaned back to tilt his body, his fist supporting his cheek.

The leader sat down, staring boredly at the rather dark room, but sometimes brightly for a moment, when the light of the night flash penetrated from behind the giant windows.

Suddenly coming from the door, an angel with black wings lived next door, dragged by two other fallen angels. Then the angel of the wings cast before the leader.

Without changing his position, the leader saw the angel on the floor. Suddenly, the angel breathed. He held her neck as if someone was strangling her.

The leader smiled widely, his expression creepy. While the next-winged angel, stretched out, stretched out in pain.

They both have the same face. Namely, Devan-faced.

"Kalive!!!."

"Haa..!!!", Devan was caught breathing through his mouth.

Devan suddenly woke up, his breathing stinged. He was sitting on the floor, in a meeting room. Aslan was standing facing out from behind the glass wall.

Devan was pensive, there was a memory coming back to him. A place where the ground is red, where the sky is never bright, except for the lightning from the extreme impacts of clouds moving in space.

Devan recalled, a majestic castle, vaguely drawn in the mind. He felt he had walked in it, and saw himself being honored.

"You're up?".", said Aslan, breaking Devan's daydream.

"What happened?".", asked Devan then to his feet.

"You're unconscious, about an hour."

Devan shook his head. "Shameful."

"Not really. You were suddenly in pain."

Devan remembers it. He then walked up to the glass wall and looked out.

Devan was rather surprised to observe the brightly lit night of Avalon City. The city is alive, with all its activities.

"Congratulations, Devan."

"Huh?."

"You have sealed off the magus aura you have. Now the question you had before is over."

Devan just heard without responding. He looked at every activity in the city, looking on with a flat and indifferent expression. Aslan turned to Devan for a while, then looked back at the city.

"Buck, Devan."

Devan turned to look towards Aslan.

"You have sealed off the magus aura you have. Now, worse things begin to come to you."

"What questions?. I feel better about myself."

"The previous question was from within yourself. But now, the matter comes from outside."

Devan was silent for a moment digesting Aslan's words. Then he thought of lowering his head.

"Did anything happen when I was unconscious?."

"Nothing happens when you're unconscious. However, it happens when you are suddenly in pain."

"Then?".", asked Devan curiously.

"You won't understand even if I explain."

"Just explain!.", force Devan.

"It's a waste of time, we have to be quick, not only for your sake, but also for the sake of Luna and the fairies" Aslan said, raising his tone.

Devan was silent for a moment watching Aslan.

"OKAY. So, what should I do?."

Aslan also faced Devan, putting on a serious face.

"You must get out of here, go to the Sei Roja Valley, and find a man named Zivan."

"Who is he?."

"He was a nation with us, an angel fell. He was the one who helped me to regain my magus."

"So So. Where is the valley?."

"It's still on the same continent, but it's a long way away. When from this city means towards the sunset. You can ask a human on the road."

"OKAY. But am I leaving tonight?. I've just arrived, I plan to spend the night in this town."

"You can't spend the night here. You must flee."

Suddenly…

Two people came in from behind the door.

"They were my subordinates, Fallen Angel, Morgan and Julian. You will surely go through the heavy field, and those who will help."

Morgan, short-haired is a bit curly. Julian, straight-haired with front bangs. Both are handsome, their hair color is pitch black, with all-black clothes. They look just like Devan.

"Yo Devan", said Morgan kindly.

"Please help him, Devan", Julian said kindly as well.

Devan just nodded his head.

"Aslan, what am I running away from?."

"About that, I don't think you have any major problems as a human being either."

Devan scrunched his forehead.

"You'll understand when it comes out. Remember, only in this building can you protect me. When I got outside, I took my hands off. I'm not interested in your problems as a human being, so I won't help."

Devan was confused by Aslan's explanation. He did not get dizzy and immediately turned around to start walking out.

"Wait."

Devan then stops, near Morgan and Julian.

"Three of you, but normally you are alone. And lastly, you will surely face a choice between strength or love, when that time has come, I suggest you choose strength."

"Complicated, I don't understand."

"Just remember."

Devan, Morgan, and Julian leave behind the door.

Aslan then headed towards the chair and sat leaning back while looking at the ceiling.

("I hope this is the right move.", Aslan bathes in doubt.)

Devan shut the door again, then continued walking with Morgan. But suddenly Devan stopped.

"Where is Julian?"., said Devan, watching around. Julian suddenly disappeared.

"He goes first, takes care of his part" said Morgan.

"That's it", Devan stepped back.

The two of them walked through the lobby and down the stairs, some of the people inside just looking at Devan while stepping back.

They were now on the ground floor, and as Devan turned towards the exit, Morgan stopped.

"Wait Devan. Are you sure you want to go through the front door?."

"Why, then?", Devan continued walking.

"No, that's. Any door seems the same to you."

Devan looked over from behind the glass door, no one passed by in front of him. He pushed the door and walked out of the building.

"DON'T MOVE!!!", simultaneously the voice was shouted. Devan was surprised.

Devan was stiff, with multiple laser points filling every part of his body and head. He saw several people in full uniform with armor encircling him in all directions, several large armored cars also blockaded the track to prevent escape.

("What the hell is this???".", Devan murmured in the heart.)

Devan was surprised, but there was no fear at all. He was very confused.

"Popular as well as you, Devan", said Morgan beside him with a cynical smile facing forward.

Devan turned to Morgan.

"You..why didn't they target you?!"." said Devan, puzzled, his eyes wide open, seeing that there was not a single laser point on Morgan's body.

"Haa?. Surely. Humans cannot see me. Even lasers and bullets would only penetrate without hurting me."

Devan was silent at Morgan's reply.

(....."You will not be able to spend the night here. You have to run away."..).

(".....I don't think you have any major problems as a human being either."..).

(....."You will understand when you come out. Remember, only in this building can you protect me..").

(....."You are three, but you are normally alone..").

Devan remembers Aslan's words.

"Oh, so this, he means. Aslan's."

*****

An hour ago.....

"Haha!"

Devan sits on his knees while holding his head. He groaned loudly in pain.

"After this you will lean as a fallen angel, Devan", said Aslan with a big smile.

"Aaaakkh!!", Devan groaned again, suddenly feeling a dense aura from within Devan.

Aslan stopped laughing, no longer smiling. He was just watching Devan.

"Devan's reaction, very exaggerated.", Aslan began to worry.

After that, a black aura appeared from within Devan, increasingly piled up. At that time, Aslan's feelings were visited by a sense of incredible horror.

Aslan took a few steps back, unable to control himself, clearly visible remains on his face.

Devan's aura immediately exploded very strongly, Aslan fell down, held his neck and groaned in pain to the brim, but he could not faint.

The aura was widespread not only the entire city or the earth, however, until it pierced through the heavens.

....

Somewhere in the Sei Roja Valley.....

A man dressed in black hanfu with his hair in pigtails was sitting ascetic on a rock.

"Hm?".", the man opened his eyes, feeling a little pushed so that his balance was disturbed.

"This aura.it felt familiar.", the man then descended from the rock. He looked in the direction where the aura was coming from.

The man was silent for a moment. He closed his eyes.

A moment later, the man slowly opened his eyes, "He.", his lips smiling.

"If he's an enemy, he may carry thorns, however, if he's a friend he'll carry meaning."

....

An area with many bones.....

On the edge of the abandoned castle.

Standing still a woman upon rest, lamenting a gravestone. Wearing a white cartwheel dress and hat, but shabby mixed with dust and earth.

Suddenly the woman reacted, her mouth open. He was quiet for a long time. Then he smiled widely.

"ehihi, ehihihi. finally... I found my dream ally... ehihi, ehihi, ehihi, ehihihi, ehihihihi....."

....

Red castle in the middle of the ocean.....

In the throne room lit by red candles, the Demon King sat down at a long table with his seven generals.

Suddenly the entire flame candle in the room died instantly. The room turned dark, only a small amount of moonlight came in from one side of the window.

At the same time, the seven generals all reacted small. There was a small look towards the direction the aura was coming from. Someone looked down and then held his head up. Someone sat leaning against his eyes, then he opened his eyes. Some were surprised by one short breath. Someone was tapping on the fingers at the table, then stopping the fingers.

"Hm?".", small reaction of one of the generals.

Suddenly one of the generals stood up from his chair, and was silent for a long time.

"Didn't you say you've taken care of it?", the Demon King told the standing general.

"Not wrong anymore. I have indeed....."

"YOU'RE NOT CLEAN DOING IT!!!."

The general huffed. He left his chair and walked out.

"Next, I'll completely clean it up!."

....

The eastern end of the island.....

The Wisdom Academy Library.

The old man in a long white robe, long white hair, and white beard was writing on the table. A long tasbih wrapped around his left palm up to his wrist, as well as a white scarf that coiled neatly on both his shoulders.

Outside, a long black haired girl was expanding, whose bottom of her hair was braided in two, was running towards the door of the room.

"Go ahead, seriously, seriously!!".", said the panic-eyed girl.

The girl opened the door of the room.

"Professor, Wawat!!!."

A little while later, the professor and the student reached the library hall.

All of the students were lying on the floor, except for a few members of the library alone including the unaffected professors.

"What's really going on, professor???"." asked the student, who was wearing a dark blue robe and a dark blue beret on his head.

"Just calm down.they will wake up later.", said the professor calming. "It is fortunate that you have been given kindness by the elf Artemis".", the professor looked at the few disciples who were still standing.

("Great events may be coming, we must be prepared", professor.)

....

Throne Castle in Delbora.....

"Report chief, wretched, some fallen angels all over Delbora suddenly felt pain, there was even a fall to death!".", said the panic of the castle guards who had previously come from outside.

"No. they did not die" said the leader, then he stood up from the throne. "Thank you very much Devan. God gave you his help."

Still in Delbora, in a different place.....

A fallen angel woman stands beside the fallen angel man's body.

"Well!".

"Devan, was that you????".", he said anxiously.

....

Nirvan.....

"Gabriel, you must have noticed."

"God knows better, what happened."

"I thought it would mess with the laws of nature, like it used to."

"God knows better, what's best."

"All right, it's my turn to move. I'm going down."

"As beings, we should try. But also be careful not to overdo it. Forcing fate will only bring the wrath of God, Azriel."

....

Aslan office building, Avalon City.....

After that wave of black aura was immediately re-entered in Devan, Devan's body jolted to make him unconscious.

Aslan's pain instantly disappeared, after which he dropped himself on the floor. Breathe hard, and slowly stand back up.

"That power is you, Devan Zora" said Aslan, he was still breathing heavily.

"What exactly happened until your soul fell onto this human.

He looked at the city of Avalon from behind a glass wall. One by one the lights of the city, the building, and the others began to light up. Avalon is back.

"One problem is over, Devan. But you're causing another problem. If I had known from the beginning who you were, I might not have used this step" Aslan spoke to himself.

("Some powers may come and come back to try to bring him down", Aslan thought as he looked at the unconscious Devan.)
