Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 29: Getting Ready for the First Sky

Day was running, Devan and Zivan had just arrived at the residence, after a long time of walking. Now, Zivan's situation has improved somewhat than before, even so, Devan still embraces him.

Later, Devan only found out the reason behind Zivan's slow recovery, it was because he was too much magus to make him very tired.

Zivan was forced to do that to trigger the magus in Devan who was restrained, especially Devan magus is a very strong magus, can not be triggered with responsibility.

There was a little guilt on the Devan bathin, but he stopped showing let alone saying it. It was due to Devan's rather cold personality impact, which is now a bit tending as Devan Zora.

However, his heart opened up a little to Zivan, knowing that.

Devan releases his embrace to Zivan, and zivan sits on the stairs to his residence.

"So, your goal after this is to Rayyana?"

"Yes. Before that I will go to Gardum Village, back to the territory of the Kingdom of Avalon."

"There's too far, it took days to get there. You also have no vehicle to get there" explains Zivan.

("Hmm...The car left in the valley driveway took Morgan and Julian home didn't ya?. They have faster wings. But, although there still took three days to get there.")

"When you can go directly from this place" Zivan added.

"Hm?, from this place?", said Devan in surprise.

"I told you once because of the sanctity of this place, because here there is close access to the first sky. You remember?"

A moment later, Devan remembered.....

(....“Actually, this valley is the door where we can go to the first sky, the place where the fairies live.”

Hearing this, Devan turned to look at Zivan.

“Oh I understand. Since it is related to the fairies, you cannot tell them both, because they are fallen angel.”.).

"I remember. So, how do I get up there from here?"

"On that leave it to me, I'll lend my best friend to you."

"Lend?"

"You will see" said Zivan, smiling.

"Hm.but I still don't understand."

"Which one?"

"When you said you didn't trust me. But you keep helping me."

Hearing that, Zivan was pensive for a moment,

"To be honest, I still don't trust you. But I've lost to you. Now I'm just betting on you now."

"My current self?, you mean?, and also, what exactly do you not believe in me?"

"You with a complete memory. He's the one I can't trust. Especially after hearing her opinion directly about fairies."

Devan remembers what he said about it.

(“If I was lying then, there's no way I'd laugh. Heew. I was the one who wanted to help Luna, it was actually my current desire tendency…

IF I WILL ELIMINATE PRINCESS ARTEMIS.”, Devan said with a cold look.)

"I remember that, until now I realized, I did say that. But, I forgot why I said it."

("Then, all that time, I remembered how I felt. Like when I was about to finish off Zivan, I felt like my heart was intent on killing him. But....

When I said my evil thoughts and intentions to Luna and the fairies, my heart felt nothing, why would it be?.hey, I remember everything.", bathin Devan)

"That's why I bet on you now. I don't expect your whole memory to come back, when you're with him" Zivan concluded.

"Just calm down, doesn't mean I'm overpowered by the rest of me. I'll tell you, if I wanted to, I could have gone back to my usual self from the beginning.....

But at that time I really felt my life was on the verge of being bound by you, so I let it go first, let alone the much information I had obtained back then, even though many had forgotten."

Zivan looked at Devan long ago, he was curious about the truth Devan said.

"Devan, are you serious about that?. I mean.yourselves are not overpowered or....."

"Do you think that my present return, just as you were being critical, was a coincidence?" Cut Devan out instantly.

"You overvalue your luck, Zivan" he added.

Zivan was silent for a moment, after he really listened to Devan so closely. His eyes were wide open, his mouth slightly open.

"Then wait here until midnight, only then can you ascend to the first heaven. I have a flying horse that only appears at night, Isla's name. He will take you upstairs" said Zivan enthusiastically.

Devan felt Zivan's enthusiasm, there was no doubt in Devan's heart over his words.

"Flying horse yes.", said Devan while smiling happily.

("If with that, I must have gotten there.", bathin Devan was pleased.)

"I didn't think you had anything like that, but when you thought you were weird enough, Zivan, you said you wouldn't let me go, but now you're helping me go, just like Aslan who said he didn't like fairies, but later told me to leave immediately for the fairies. That's the opposite."

"Maybe that's the bad side of being a half fallen angel, aren't you like that too?. Intending to kill Luna, but also intending to protect her...

Even so, this time I believe you, Devan."

Since then, Devan and Zivan's relationship has returned to the way it was at the beginning, no longer as awkward as before, due to their last fight.

***

Seconds before midnight...

Zivan's residence yard, Sei Roja Valley...

"Middle of the night is a time when many ordinary humans sleep, while holy humans are awake. At that time as well, black magic moved a lot towards its target.

Other evil beings, some partying, some planning evil.Therefore, many angels descend to the first heaven, to keep man from the evil of the night.

As for special humans like us one of them, our senses will be stronger, so that they can see things that were not seen before, feel things that were not felt before, listen to things that were not heard before.", clearly Zivan was at length as his head looked up at the night sky.

Moments later...

"Teng!!", there was a bang in the sky, a sign of the start of midnight.

"The land of this valley, is one of the closest to the sky, therefore we can hear the thump of the transition of the night. And that bang, it is impossible to hear, except for those who intend to climb the sky" Zivan continued.

Shortly thereafter, coming from beside Zivan's residence, a broad black-winged horse and one horn on its head.

The horse has black eyes, as well as red pupils. He also always gave off a black aura all over his body.

Devan was a little surprised to see the horse, which to him looked creepy, but he did not say it.

The horse walked up to Zivan's side, while Zivan greeted him with a gentle elusan on the horse's head.

"If we look at the sky from here, it looks empty. But it is like a vast labyrinth, which misleads anyone who wants to climb it"

Then, Zivan turned his head towards Devan while looking at him.

"Devan, you once managed to climb the sky, but at that time, you were guided by a fairy who was the usual path to her home.

But this time, you will set out on your own without being guided by anyone, and you will have to find your own way. Remember these three messages.

- Do not look too much at unnecessary things, just glance, and if anyone is aware of your gaze, it is more hidden for you to throw glances, rather than turn your head.

don't start talking unless someone starts, and you have to talk, don't ignore, and move your eyes to see it.

beware of the devil in disguise. Act like you know nothing. Remember, there is no shortcut to the first heaven. The road that seems heavy, is the right path."

At that time, Devan felt something different from Zivan's gaze. His gaze was very mysterious, his words too, making Devan feel that there was another knowledge that was indirectly implied through his words.

But somehow Devan was not as usual. He was completely silent and did not ask what he should have asked.

"Last I say before you leave, your deadline is dawn. When a line of white light had stretched out on the western horizon, Isla would have gone missing. Make sure you get to the fairy land, before dawn."

Devan began to climb Isla, then he jumped and flew slowly upwards. For Devan, the night wind felt different, bringing doubt and discomfort to Devan's heart, such as holding him back, so that no higher flying upward.

"Darguably Devan, you are so unlucky to be heading to the sky from this part of the earth here. The place where man kills himself, and the village where men live are misled.....

I hope there are angels who know you up there, who are willing to help you, even if you are the fallen angel" said Zivan, looking at Devan who had flown.

Meanwhile.....

Sachiel from elsewhere in the Sei Roja Valley, also saw Devan flying into the sky first. He put his hands in front of his chest, while praying.....

("O Lord, who loves all beings...

If he is a true creature, love him...

Who is trying to climb the sky, from a place as bad as the land, which makes the sky as bad.")
