Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 51: Destiny Doesn't Change, Because She Doesn't Want to Change

Isla closed her eyes, trying to change her perception of reality by delving into her feelings.

("What does Zivan feel in this situation?")

Isla tries to sympathize, but it is a bit difficult for her because the reality of the space between her and Zivan is not the same.

Then, he tried to guess Zivan's feelings.

("...Miserably.... Disillusioned.... Desperate.... "), Isla manipulates her feelings, hoping that she can equal her perception to Zivan...

However, Isla still has not found anything else from her original perception.

("...Complain.... Upset."), there began to be a sense of warmth around Isla.

("... Angry!"), as soon as the warmth turned to heat, Isla jolted open her eyes....

"HAH!, ARRGH!!", suddenly Isla groaned.

The reddened sky was extinguished, the magic plant Artemis lost its color, as well as the great black flames burning down every plant in existence.

("Is this what Zivan saw,, and the others, too?..")

The big change changed Isla's perception all of a sudden, her soul was shocked by it, she also had to groan withstanding the heat of the black flames on Zivan who suddenly burned his arm.

("No... It's not real... This is a fake... ")

Even so, Isla still did not release Zivan from his security.

"This is not true, Isla".", said Isla a small voice trying to awaken herself, in order to restore her original perception.

But the deception of Demon General Aamon is so powerful is incredible. Once the lie is consumed by anyone's perception, even if Isla the jinn was educated by the Wise King, it will not be possible to escape its influence.

On the other hand, Istan was stunned,

("What really happened?... ")

And so did the others, they looked at Isla's reaction with astonishment, but just a moment ago, Isla seemed to be unable to bear the fire.

"intriguing. Nice work, horse girl. Keep taking Zivan with your little arms. Let me see how the arm was ablaze by the black flames!!", Istan said rudely to Isla.

Isla did not answer. He continued to carry Zivan who was burning and unconscious in his car.

Isla turned to look at the pool of water nearby. But he broke it. Perhaps Isla understood, there is no water here that can extinguish this black fire.

"ENOUGH!!!"

Aamon raised his right hand before Zivan and Isla, and was immediately sucked into the palm of the black flame that burned Zivan.

Everything became astonished, seeing the decision of the ruler of the sin of anger.

While Isla, while holding a burn on her arm, slowly she shifted her gaze to the figure of a dark creature that had just extinguished the black flames on Zivan.

("Who?", Isla asked in her heart.)

A moment later, Isla's eyes were wide open, when the focus of her vision was clear.

("He.......

.... No. .")

"Yo, the jinn. Aren't you from among me?, why side with humans?.

COME BACK!, AND ACCEPT THE PUNISHMENT FOR BETRAYING THE DEMON KING!!!"

Isla's eyes were empty. The look on the face that had been enduring the pain had instantly turned flat.

.....

...----------------...

information About the World -

In this world, the jinn are enemies, and almost all the jinn are enemies of the Demon King, and once the jinn are born, they are immediately attached to him.

Therefore, the demon king has the ability to enslave the jinn who are bound to him, an absolute decree that cannot be rejected by any jinn nation.

And the demon lord, also gave that ability to half of his generals, as well as some of the chosen demons close to him.

...----------------...

.....

With that blank look, Isla who was still holding Zivan in her hand slowly stepped her feet towards Aamon.

One step....

Step two.....

The third step....

Somehow, lsla's steps even stopped, then loudly herself said,

"Didn't want to!"

And no one expected, the flying horse incarnate girl denied Aamon's orders.

("What?!", surprised Meghan.)

("What does this mean?", Istan astonished.)

("How is it possible??"), Raven growled, and among others, he was the one who least suspected it.

"WHY DID YOU STOP?!, HEY JIN'S SON!, I SAID... COME BACK!!"

"Say.. tiii don't want."

"WHY??, WHY ARE YOU ABLE TO DEFY MY ORDERS??, WHEN MY ORDERS ARE THE TITHES OF THE DEMON KING FOR YOU."

Once again, Aamon and the others were startled by the flying horse's incarnation girl.

"Because I have no mastery over your demon lord."

"NO WAY!. IF NOT FOR THE DEMON LORD, WHO ELSE WOULD YOU HAVE BEEN TO?, YOU ARROGANT!!"

"I am the King of men, the King of Wisdom, who understands all languages."

"HUH?!"

"Hm?!", Istan reacted.

("Hey-hey, that must be a lie, right?", Meghan denied inwardly.)

("What the fuck is his confession!, you think Mr Aamon will be deceived?", Sangkal Raven.)

The conscious Maia, who was not very expressive, now began to show a look of doubt when she heard the statement.

And Istan then took a long time.

("If only he could not defy the commandment of the lord of the sin of anger, a thousand percent I would not believe him. But...

With the stature of such a teenager, what kind of explanation explains that he is thousands of years old?")

"YOU.... MESS WITH ME, HUH?!"

"Yes. I admit, I was a little kidding at first, like pretending to obey the orders or whatever.*

"WHAT?!"

"After all, why do I have to obey a strange creature like you?"

BHUUURR!!!!

Instantly Aamon spouted black flames from his palm.

"TOO MUCH!!!"

The black flames continued to blow strongly towards Isla and Zivan. But for some reason, there was absolutely no intention of Isla to avoid the attack. It was as if Isla had let the black fire come upon her

"WEIRD CREATURE YOU SAID?!!, I GIVE YOU MY UNDERSTANDING, HOW TERRIBLE I AM, AAMON THE GENERAL RULER OF SINS OF ANGER!!!"

"No!. You are not Aamon!", responded Isla loudly, whereas she was in a black flame.

Aamon stopped a black fire attack on Isla.

"Whataa?!", Aamon's voice was heavy, yet not as loud as before, even as a voice with a breath of intense interest.

Aamon became very anxious, how surprised she had to hear the thing she didn't realize, that was something she didn't want to hear the most.

This time not only Raven, but Istan, Maia, and Meghan saw clearly and at close range, how anxious the look on the face of Aamon who himself just denied Isla. A very rare sight, even Istan seemed to open his eyes wide, looking at Aamon without his usual expression of anger.

"I told you, you're not Aamon. Don't underestimate my perceptual abilities of strange creatures, you can fool them all, but you can't fool my eyes."

"A...AAA...AAA...AAWHAT DO YOU MEAN?. I AM AAMON SANG....",

"NO!!, THIS FIRE IS MY POWER. THIS FACIAL FEATURE, THIS HORN, ALL PROVES THAT I AM AAMON THE LORD OF THE SINS OF ANGER."

"Then let's bet. Burn us with your black fire, and don't put it out!"

"HUH?!"

A moment of silence, Aamon who was unmoving did not make that move, making Istan and the others add suspicious seeds.

Suddenly from the other side Raven made a sound. He was suspicious from the beginning, when Aamon some time ago put out the black fire that burned Sachiel.

But Raven was about to deny, not wanting to believe that suspicion. He said, himself,

"Burn him!, Mr. Aamon."

"YOU ARE SILENT!, RAVEN BOY!", as soon as the creature called Aamon turned his head and snapped at Raven.

Instantly Raven was stunned, his eyes seemed shocked mixed with disappointment, staring at the figure who had previously shown respect, just confirming his suspicions.

"Why are you quiet, you freak?. Are you afraid of the truth that if it proves that I didn't die by your black flames, it means that you yourself will know, that you...."

"DIAMIMM!!!"

"Hmm, just so you know, the real Aamon, will definitely choose to believe, when I say that my master is the King of the Wise Men.

But you, you don't believe it at all, even if your personality is the same.... No, maybe only half of Aamon's personality I know. Even your black-and-white color is like an imperfect copy of Aamon.... Haa?!"

("Coffee... A copy..?")

At the end of her sentence, Isla had just understood something new from her knowledge, leaving herself momentarily astonished.

"DAMN HORSE GIRL!!, I KILLED YOU?!!!"

The creature that claimed to be Aamon was blindly, swinging both hands in turns, giving rise to a powerful black flame from underground that chased after Isla.

While Isla this time did not let herself be exposed to the black fire. Every black flame that would spurt right under his feet, he immediately moved to the side position right next to his original position.

Aamon's movements fell apart, even moving closer to Isla. But Isla, instantly moved exactly where Aamon was.

It happened many times, and further added to the anger of the creature that claimed Aamon.

"You know best, right. That it's impossible to kill me just by bringing in a copy."

"WHAT?!, A LOT OF YOU TALK, FUCKING JIN!!!"

The movement of the Creature was growing more and more blindly, even the black flames that were gushing out from underground were getting crazier unguided.

("Hm?, bringing in a copy?"), Istan who had been standing by, began to make new possibilities.

"You even got so envious, with the power that Aamon had. Surely my Lord said, you are the most miserable general of the devil, LEVIATHAN THE GRUNTING QUEEN, who turns the blessings of prosperity, into seeds of enmity. Sad for Happiness, but Happy for Sadness" said Isla herself, while reminiscing about her distant past.

"SHUSH YOU!!! FUCKING JIN!!!"

The creature that claimed Aamon was out of control, Black flames so quickly gushed out at almost the entire point. It even attacked Istanbul and others, including Raven himself.

"Be careful!", said Istan to the others.

Meghan and Maia, trying to avoid relying on their magus power. Raven herself stood weakly full of disappointment, allowing herself to be hit by a burst of black flames.

While Istan himself, he calmly stood protected by the gravity barrier, which deflected bursts of fire towards his surroundings.

And finally, Isla said out loud,

"By this it is clear that you are a false Aamon, a lie made by Leviathan, in order to prove himself, that he is proved, WILL NOT BE GREATER THAN THE REAL AAMON."

Amidst the black flames that interceded, as well as the wind whistling through her hair, Isla spoke very loudly, her index finger, pointing right at the fake Aamon.

"YYYYOW!!!!!"

The copy creature also shouted loudly and long. On the sound of his screams, mixed with the voice of the female screech.

He holds his head, Isla's words are too true, so that the copy creature cannot accept the true reality, that he is just a copy creature, until the end.....

YOAAARRRRRR!!!

The copy creature blew itself up, the black spot of fire quickly spread from its point of self to all directions, blowing up the entire park, and hitting everything.

But a moment later, the blast radius of the black flame instantly shrank to its starting point. That's when the copy was gone, and not only that.....

The burns Zivan and Isla had also instantly disappeared, even the ground, and the black flame-retardant plants instantly disappeared, as if there had never been a black fire that had damaged them. All perceptions return. Except for one thing...

Isla spread her eyes around the garden with the sky brightening again, seeing the magic of the Artemis plant that still lost its color. But everything has returned.

Then, Isla took a long time, and,

("My perception can still be fooled apparently....

My master once said that the devil's deceit is cunning, and is mixed between the lie and the truth.

They will tell the truth, then slip one lie between the truths.

Or the...

They will tell the lie, then slip one truth between the lies.

I did not expect, I did not see, among the world of illusion that Leviathan conveyed, there was one that was not an illusion, the Artemis plant that lost its color, he said, something that is more important than anything else..").

"Haha...... "

"Hm?", Isla's daydreams are crumbling, interrupted by Istan's loud laughter, she then turns her gaze to Istan.

"Haha..... "

("The horse girl.... He knows more than I do.")

"Alright horse girl!, I believe now, that you are indeed the servant of the King of Man, the King who understands all languages."

.....

***

Moments after the Aamon copy exploded, at the place where Sachiel was, the Aamon copy creature before him suddenly felt pain, as if he was affected by the explosion of another Aamon copy creature.

"AAAAARGGGHHH!!", the creature stretched out while holding both its heads.

Sachiel's eyes no longer stared far away, since then Sachiel noticed the fake Aamon again.

"WHY SACHIEL?!, WHY IGNORE ME?!"

Sachiel still did not answer.

"AARRGHHH!!!"

The copy creature groaned again.

"I...I AM THE REAL AAMON!!!, SO, DON'T IGNORE ME!!!"

"ARRRGGHHH!!!, NO.... L'M.... "

Sachiel just kept paying attention, not giving any response. Until suddenly, he was a little flabbergasted, when the creepy copy creature in front of him, gave a sad look and let out a soft female voice,

"Sachiel, I'm better, right?"

DUAAARR!!!!

The copy creature exploded as another copy creature with a wide radius to hit Sachiel.

Then, the blast radius quickly shrank, and returned all perception of reality as it should. No more wounds, nor the scars of the soil and the aroma felt. The dark clouds in the sky, re-executing their role, spread out lightning whips that isolated the valley.

...

"Goodbye, lies".", said Sachiel, to the vanished copy creature, who tricked him, able to lie to the environment. Disconcerting the wind, fattening the storm.

But in his heart, Sachiel was about to change a different ending, which is why the all-white angel remained silent, even though the copy creature still forced himself to speak, only to be recognized for its existence.

If Sachiel spoke the truth, he might have stopped Istan and others from starting. But Sachiel knew someone would cry somewhere else. That's what Sachiel wants to change.

It was not that Sachiel had pity, it was impossible for him to feel sorry for a Devil. He didn't feel he had to do that either. Sachiel did that because that's how he is.

In the end, something that Sachiel could bear not to say, was said by the genie incarnate girl figure who he knew well, although the genie incarnation again forgot him.

Because of this, Sachiel failed to change it....

And in a Palace in a dark room, the Queen who was spiteful must have been weeping while overshadowing the words of the horse maiden, whose truth had hurt her so much,

("By this it is clear that you are a false Aamon, a lie made by Leviathan, in order to prove himself, that he will NOT BE GREATER THAN THE REAL AAMON.")

...

Destiny does not change, because Leviathan does not want to change.
