Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 44: News About the Land of Rayyana

The fairies who came were now one by one gone. Some of them, took the time to wave their hands towards Mother Fairy Amaryllis. The fairy mother returned their wave with a gentle smile.

Devan and Alishia also looked at the surrounding that had been crowded for a moment. Until after a period of time, the library area room was again quiet, leaving Devan, Alishia, and the fairy mother.

Fairy Mother Amaryllis now woke up from her daydream, opened her eyelids, and took back Devan's fallen bracelet by summoning a small wind rippling through her lower-facing right hand, parallel to the position of the falling Devan bracelet.

Devan's bracelet floated slowly upwards, leading to the palm of Mother Fairy Amaryllis' hand.

"Why?", Alishia suddenly asked, turning her gaze towards Devan.

"What?", Devan asked Alishia.

"Because..why do you have that pendant?", asked Alishia somewhat stammeredly.

"'Why' did you say?.. What if I have that?"

"Eventually it was strange!, even suspicious!".", said Alishia slightly raised her tone. "How can.you..."

Alishia stammered, because her heart was mixed; upset, sad, and confused, after seeing the true color of Devan's pendant.

At the same time, Fairy Mother Amaryllis saw Alishia's reaction from the side. It was obvious in his sight the look of confusion attached to Alishia's face.

"Lishia.", call the Fairy Mother softly, interrupting Alishia's stammering sentence.

As soon as Alishia turned to the Fairy Mother Amaryllis, Alishia's eyes opened wide until her eyebrows rose, her breathing also seemed heavy.

"Bund..."

"Both hands..."

"Yes.."

"Try putting it right in the middle of his chest."

Alishia then looked at Devan for a while, then turned her head back to Fairy Mother Amaryllis.

"Why mother?"

"Here you go, try it", said softly mother fairy while smiling little.

Alishia walked slowly towards Devan. At that moment Devan felt anxious to see Alishia who was walking towards. Devan turned to look at the Fairy Mother Amaryllis, and saw the fairy mother who smiled a little at him.

("It's okay. Just calm down", suddenly a voice sounded in Devan's head.)

("This....Mother's voice.", Devan bathin.)

Devan stopped worrying. He stood in his place, letting Alishia approach him to do something to him.

A moment later, Alishia arrived before Devan. At that moment his heart became anxious, because he understood what he was going to do.

Alishia began to raise both hands and then put her right palm on Devan's chest followed by Alishia's left hand on the back of her right hand.

At that moment, Alishia felt a sign of humanity in Devan.

Alishia was silent for a moment to make sure, at that moment her eyes were completely open, then raised her eyes to look at Devan's face

"There's.kemanucian..."

A moment later, he immediately pulled out his hands, while looking at Devan who was still shrouded in black aura all over his body. He then shook his head as if he had not accepted the reality before him.

Instantly Alishia turned her body to go to Mother Fairy while saying,

"I don't understand...."

Alishia suddenly hit the plan of the Fairy Mother Amaryllis who had been walking closer to Alishia.

"What Lishia... Will also deny the sign of humanity?", said soft Mother Fairy Amaryllis to Alishia who is now very close to him.

"No.so.mother.", said Alishia while turning her eyes down. A bit of guilt on his face.

"Lisaac.... What is your hatred for Fallen Angel, making you unable to see Devan fairly?

Look, the human child..."

Alishia shifted her body position and slowly turned her head towards Devan at the back.

"If from the outside he looked like that, did he ever do anything bad to fairies?, did he ever harm our country?, or.. did he ever do anything bad to you, Lishia?"

"Never mother", replied Alishia with a guilty face while straightening her neck, then lowered her gaze because she did not dare to see Mother Fairy Amaryllis.

"So, is it appropriate for such a creature to be treated evilly?"

"Hm.hm.", Devan muttered while nodding twice to support the statement of Mother Fairy.

While Alishia, he tried to steal a glance at Devan, but did not dare, finally he just looked down before the Fairy Mother Amaryllis and said, saying,

"I'm sorry Lishia, Mother."

Fairy Mother Amaryllis then gently touched both sides of Alishia's cheeks, and lifted her up slowly.

"It's not your mother who should accept forgiveness, right?..",

Even so, Alishia's eyes remained looking down with a somewhat lethargic gaze. He still didn't see the face of the fairy.

Despite having seen two statements, as well as with a soft sentence said by the fairy mother. Still still make it hard for Alishia to admit her fault with Devan. But luckily, the fairy godmother realized that. He understood the shame that Alishia felt, and the fairy mother began to tell stories,

"Lishia knows, you used to make a fairy cry. A white fairy, just like Lishia."

Hearing that, Alishia slowly raised her eyes, and saw the face of the fairy mother, although still with a somewhat lethargic look.

"When she said something bad to him, he took offense, then cried.

After that, knowing that there was an angel among us, a woman all white, her presence made us feel calm, even the white elf who was sobbing crying, instantly became calm.

The angel in his soft voice told us,

'Relax, God does not look at color, God does not judge from strong and weak. Your earnestness, that is what God buys at a great price, even if it is from a small result, which you fully strive for.'

Hearing that, the mother regretted her words, the mother felt wrong, and apologized to the white fairy. And after we made up, the angel disappeared, and was no longer seen by our side..."

Fairy Mother Amaryllis ended her story. The eyes of Alishia are no longer lethargic, even tend to be bright, bright,

("I just found out, it turns out that my mother had also done wrong", Alishia bathin.)

"Mothers are just ordinary creatures, of course, can be wrong. Just like Lishia too", said softly Mother Fairy Amaryllis.

After which, Alishia turned around, facing towards Devan.

"...eee...Devaan...I'm sorry to have behaved and prejudiced you."

Devan smiled knot...

"I'm sorry, Shia."

From behind Alishia, Fairy Mother Amaryllis smiled sweetly, looking at those who began to make up.

"Alright, as my apology, I am willing to take you, to the Land of Rayyana" said Alishia, smiling faintly.

"Huuuu, thank God", said Devan relieved. "I was so confused to persuade you how."

"Heee really?. Then you should thank your mother, who indirectly persuaded me to drive you."

"Towards Rayyana?", asked the fairy mother suddenly.

"Yes mother. Devan was about to hitch a ride to me to go to Rayyana. Actually he's in this country just passing by."

"so yeah. Devan, do you know Rayyana's situation now?", asked Fairy Mother Amaryllis to Devan.

Hearing that, Devan suddenly remembered Alishia's previous words, saying,

(..." (...."HM!, I just remembered, you're in a hurry to get to Rayyana, but it's a mess there after being attacked by you guys."

"Attacked???", Devan responded unexpectedly.....).

"Hmmm", Fairy Mother Amaryllis took a deep breath, looking a little heavy on her face.

"If you may know, mother.", said Devan. Then he stopped talking for a moment and shook his head. "I'm actually curious, and I want to know Rayyana's situation" said Devan.

"Of course you should know, Devan, because you want to go there.

But one thing you should know, Devan. That the Land of Rayyana is today......."

And Mother Fairy Amaryllis also began to tell, about the state of Rayyana to Devan.

***

Two days ago...

Morning in Rayyana....

After the day before the Fallen Angel Leader Istan Zora came alone to leave the destruction in the land of Rayyana, This morning the Fairy Queen Aliya gathered all the inhabitants of Rayyana; the adult fairies, in the middle of the land.

They all floated in the air surrounding Fairy Queen Aliya who floated slightly higher, just above the circle of the sinking hole created by Istan Zora.

Until that time came, there began an open deliberation between the Elf Queen Aliya, and the people of Rayyana.

"O you fairies of the people of Rayyana, there has indeed come bad news for us, on the day when this country was ravaged by a Delborah Leader" said Fairy Queen Aliya, with a tone of voice that can echo throughout the population of Rayyana.

The two elf queen hands stretched out, as if she was trying to reach out and embrace the entire fairy gathered at that moment.

The entire population of Rayyana is still silent, waiting for the continuation of the sentence of the fairy queen.

"He has learned the news of the safety of Princess Artemis, I'm really worried, that the tragedy of 10 years ago has been repeated."

The fairies also reacted small, a little rowdy and a little murmur of anxiety was heard, but only for a moment, as soon as the atmosphere returned silent, the fairies still heard the fairy queen carefully.

"He managed to enter Rayyana, because he had a pendant belonging to Mother Artemis. Possibly, the wind belonging to the mother in the pendant is being misled, until she mistaken who her friend.

But... I still do not understand, why he can find the way of this country?, when this is a land hidden from the clouds.

Have you fairies found any clues or facts that I may not have known?"

Starting to sound whispers or even small sounds from the group of fairies on each side, a little later, there have been some fairies that floated higher, representing each side.

Then, all the higher-flying fairies nodded at each other and floated down leaving one male elf who first floated high.

One fairy spoke to the queen, representing the other,

"O Queen Aliya, a few days ago, I saw a creature at the entrance of the Rayyana River sitting in a boat with Princess Artemis."

"Is that true, Fairy Lord?"

"Really, Queen Aliya. But,, I couldn't be sure who it was.", then, the elf started to cast glances at the rest of the fairies as a sign that someone would add to it.

Shortly after, a flying fairy appeared, and testified to the fairy queen. Fairy Queen Aliya turned to look at him,

"I saw it too, Queen Aliya. All over his body, there was a faint, extremely strong aura, but I could not see the color. Still, I don't know why I feel like I hate that.

Not only myself, the other fairies also felt so. Like an evil intent that is restrained or hidden. And if I may say plainly, it feels like I saw an angel fall...

But I don't mean to accuse! o queen, I just wanted to convey what I was thinking back then."

After hearing that, Fairy Queen Aliya suddenly remembered the words of the Leader Delbora,

(..." (...."I came here to find my old friend. I felt the trace of his aura. I'm sure he was here" Istan said as he closed his eyes feeling the energy around him.).

"Haa!", suddenly Fairy Queen Aliya muttered little, she had just gained a new understanding.

("Could it be,,, he is the 'old friend' in question?", Bathin the Fairy Queen Aliya.)

"Yes, it's all right, lady fairy, no need to hesitate, I understand."

Suddenly from the other side floated higher a figure of a pony-haired female fairy tail wide undulating, which was none other than Yuna.

"Izin gave a glance, O queen of fairies" said Yuna.

Fairy Queen Aliya who turned to look at him then nodded slowly at him.

"I want to reinforce the previous view, that in my heart also arises such as rejection or wanting to stay away from him when he is nearby.

But.....

I also want to deny the assumption that he is a fallen angel, because said Grandpa Luna, he is a human, but not an ordinary human.

It was also proven through a fight arranged by Grandpa Luna herself with an elementary teacher of her academy, Guru Reynza."

"Who won?"

"The one who wins is the son of man."

A moment of noisy whispers, the fairies acted small, but soon returned to silence.

Fairy Queen Aliya lowered her head for a moment as she bathed,

("He is a human being, yet has the exact aura of fallen angel...Could it be...reikarnator Fallen angel??")

"Where is Teacher Reynza now?", asked the fairy queen.

Yuna shook her head, but a moment later, there was one elf flying higher, then spoke to Queen Aliya,

"O Queen Aliya, Master Reynza is at the academy, looking after our fairy children there."

("Thank God, that means she's fine.", bathin Fairy Queen Aliya.)

Then, Fairy Queen Aliya turned her eyes again to Yuna, who was,

("Yuna yes. It's only natural that he knows a lot.")

("Yuna, come down, please talk to me more, yes", there was the voice of Fairy Queen Aliya in Yuna's head.)

("All right, Queen Aliya.", Yuna is dying.)

After that, Fairy Queen Aliya also spoke again, in front of the entire population of Rayyana,

"O Fairy Rayyana, what a naivety Luna was at that time was my fault. At that time, it should have been me who came down to pick up the heart of the late Elysia. But instead I let Luna down so that she endangers herself, even....."

Seemed a look of regret mixed with sadness on the face of the Fairy Queen, she did not know what to say next.

That was when from the crowd of fairies, came a figure of the Fairy Godmother drifting higher and then approached Fairy Queen Aliya,

"We understand your feelings here, young fairy queen. Luna is the beloved fairy of Artemis, and the beloved of us all, whom we may blame.

We're not here to blame you, keeping Luna, not just your responsibility, but all the adult fairies that are here. Mother Queen Artemis, leave Luna to all of us."

Hearing that, Aliya's hands shook slightly from being touched. His hands held each other's arms together, trying to hide his little reaction to the fairies around him.

"Thank you, lady fairy".", said the Fairy Queen aliya with a smile knot.

"Together, Queen Aliya. We here always pray for our Queen, that God may strengthen Queen Aliya's shoulders, so as to be able to continue to lead us."

After that, Aliya threw her gaze all over the surrounding fairies. He saw all the fairies smiling gently at him. To make himself also smile, while bathing, and,

("Hmmm, when I should be your support, O my people.")

A moment later, Istan suddenly appeared in Aliya's mind,

(....."You are not as wise as Artemis."....

Aliya's smile was cut off, leaving a heavy feeling in her heart.

Even so, open deliberation continues to run, talking about various things; about healing, repair, complaints, fairy children who are secured, and so on, until the time is over.
