Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 30: Sky Prison and Magic Grandma.

Devan moved eastward, flying high up from the Sei Roja Valley rather quickly, until in a moment, Devan's residence at a height was no longer visible.

("My heart is not calm. Maybe because this is my first time traveling in the middle of the night alone. I'm not used to it.")

Devan was now flying between the night mist, which made his visibility limited, on top of it again, there were thinly stretched clouds, which they were about to penetrate.

"HAAAAAAAAA!!!", suddenly a strong and heavy shout was heard from above.

Devan's heart immediately shook, his eyes opened wide, the flying horse Devan was riding immediately neighing long and flapping its wings firmly, making them fly quickly swooping upwards.

"Hey Isla's...Calm down" said Devan, who was sitting holding a horn, while the other hand stroked Isla's head.

But Isla did not calm down. He continued to fly fast, until it pierced through the thin clouds above him.

Instantly, Devan's eyes widened, his breathing halted for a moment....

A cage was hanging in the sky with a large chain towering upwards. Inside stood a large man panting with both feet and hands tied in long chains out of confinement into space.

The cage was so striking to Devan, making him unconsciously look at his head for a long time.

Suddenly, the big man in the cage turned to Devan, realizing that he was being seen.

"DUAR!!!", as soon as the big man ran into the bar while sticking one of his hands out.

"HA!", Devan was surprised to see his sudden behavior. It looked as if he was trying to catch up and reach Devan.

"PLEASE!! HELP ME!! HELP ME!! PLEASE!!", cried the big man over and over again with a quick repetition. His eyes barked at Devan. It looks like an insult.

Sometimes he jolts while holding his bars firmly, as if he is about to break them from the inside.

"PLEASE! HELP U! HELP U! YO!!! HELP ME!!", cried loudly the big man with eyes barking in solidarity.

"YOU!!! HELP ME!! HELP!!...."

Devan immediately threw away his gaze, his breathing was a little quick, his heart was beating strongly. He just remembered the message Zivan gave him...

("......Don't look too much at the unnecessary, just glance, and if anyone is aware of your gaze, it's more hidden for you to throw glances, rather than turn your head.".

("She noticed me, I looked at her for too long".", bathin Devan was anxious)

Suddenly there was a jolt of chains and a clash from the direction of the hanging cage.

"HAAAAAAAAAAA!!!", came the sound of the great man's screams.

Devan was about to glance, but his point of view was not enough. He couldn't stand it either, until he decided to slightly raise his head.

Devan's eyes widened again, he saw the man in the cage motionless stuck to the wall of the cage.

Both his hands and feet were jolted, pulled with chains towering upwards, which were tied around his wrists and feet.

The man's hands and feet turned red, his countenance grimaced, the man continued to scream for help, but the entities that were in the sky at that time, were all indifferent.

Including Devan himself who immediately went and chose to fly did not approach the cage.

However, just as Devan was flying some high, it sounded in his ear an extremely ugly laughing voice.

"YAHAHAHA! ISHAAAHHA! AHHHHHAHAHAH!"

Devan was rather horrified to hear the laugh, but he was more curious. He also tried to find the source of the sound, but this time he realized he could not turn his head, and he outsmarted it by shifting the direction of flying following the origin of the sound that was heard in his ear.

Devan found it. It looked as if the old grandmother was laughing loudly on her broomstick while pointing at the man in the cage.

Devan glanced at him who was some distance away beside the front.

Only for a moment did Devan glance at him, the old grandmother turned her head very quickly towards Devan with a sour face.

"Ha!", Devan was very surprised to see the granny's terrible look suddenly.he not only hurriedly shifted his glance, but also immediately flew higher leaving him.

Almost Devan's voice came out of his mouth if he could not resist his reaction.

The old grandmother followed Devan's flight, looking at him closely with barking eyes and an extremely sullen look of suspicion. He turned it around slowly, looking at it from behind, down, side, front - in all directions.

"CIH!!, you arrogant human!. You're flying too high. REALIZE YOURSELF!!, your place is a low ground!!!", the old granny snapped in fury right in front of Devan.

"If there were no Michael's lackeys watching here now, I would have chopped you up!!!.", continued the old grandmother who was looking in a direction.

While Devan, he remembered the message delivered by Zivan, to keep acting as if he knew nothing. He acted as if he could not see the old grandmother and did not hear her words.

But over time, Devan who was still viewed as such began to be nervous.

He tried to hide his nervousness, by turning his head while moving in a directional direction, as well as looking for the right path, which he thought included turning his head as needed.

"Haaaa?", said the old grandmother in surprise.

"Why is this man looking here and there?. Could it be that,,, he does not yet know at all the path in this sky???, Hiyahahaha!", said the old grandmother followed by an evil laugh and smile.

"Then let me mislead this man. So far out of reach of Michael's lackeys. I'll kidnap him and I'll take him away. ISHAHAHA!"

After that, the old grandmother immediately left Devan and flew away, without knowing that Devan could see and hear himself and all his words.

("Hm?. Why did he leave?", Devan said.)

Devan stopped his horse for a moment, and just floated in space.

"Hweuu... Thank goodness he left" Devan sighed, saying a small voice.

("I was mistaken, so that's what you mean, telling me not to turn around often, to cover up the fact that I first came here. Hadeuh Zivan, just try saying from the beginning.", thought Devan.)

"As much as possible I should avoid fighting. I don't know how strong that old grandma is, besides the terrain here is hurting me, I can't fly, falling from here is as dead. And also this flying horse, judging from its name it looks like a mare, I'm sure he's not a fighter flying horse" Devan said.

Suddenly Isla neighs while flapping her wings until she slams upwards.

"Hoy Islaa, calm down" said Devan as he stroked Isla's head. But Isla even snorted while shaking her head.

Suddenly....

"Waaah, it turns out that there is someone else besides me here?", a female voice speech was heard right behind Devan.

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

Devan immediately turned to see who was talking, then they looked at each other.

There was a beautiful 19-year-old girl, sitting on a broomstick, dressed in dark blue clothes, and a witch-style cone hat. His eyes were blue, as well as his long blonde hair was unraveling behind his back.

("The color of the eyes, the color of the hair, the clothes, and the broom, is unmistakable, she was the witch's old grandmother just now, who intended to mislead and kidnap me." - bathin Devan.)

"You..certainly a human right?. You see, you can see. Introduce, my name is Eris. I'm a witch, but!, I'm not a witch. Ehe.", he added with a sweet smile.

"Oh..Then then.. My name is Devan, but I'm sorry, I can't tell you who I am."

("Wire!, my heart is really racing. My man's instinct is to say, the girl in front of me right now, is the kind of girl I want to be. Duh, may I let myself be kidnapped by her. Oops.."), Devan suddenly shook his head quickly.

"Hmm, what are you?", asked Eris sweetly.

"Oh, no. That's okay."

("Calm yourself, Devan. Don't let it be because of the pretty girl you destroyed the character you've built all this time. And remember, she's not a girl, she's a witch".", Devan is.)

("Hiyahaha, she must have been amazed by my charm. I had expected my instincts to be right, the man in front of me, must have been a woman a little younger than her.", Eris said.)

("Tch!, you fucking magic granny!, don't take the responsibility of her disguising herself until she becomes a young girl like this. I became convinced that he was actually a Devil in disguise.")
