Half the Fallen Angels
Episode 7: Meeting Luna's Friends

Rayyana's gate slowly closed, as the sampan passed by.

Sampan then came out of the tunnel, now the blue sky in the sky.

The river path was turned into a path up, uphill like a large staircase. The sampan runs uphill, then flat, then uphill, then flat, over and over again.

On the edge of the river path, there is a green land on which stands various kinds of white fairy houses clouds that are spaced between one and another.

There were also some fairies who also waved at Luna, some were glued to Devan in surprise. As usual, Luna enthusiastically greeted them, whereas Devan, she tried to smile waving, but was ignored. Even if it was reciprocated, the fairies looked half-hearted.

"Devan, we will be anchored there soon" said Luna who was standing.

The path through the canoe is now straight and horizontal. Devan saw the end of the river forming a circle pool larger than the width of this river.

"Well" Devan stood up and stretched his hands.

Two girls were standing at the end of the river. When the canoe continued to walk up to a certain distance, the two girls jumped up while waving their hands.

"Lunaaaaa!!!".", shouted the two girls from the end of the river.

"Zeyaaa, Trevyyy", cried Luna as she waved her hand.

Sampan then anchored to the edge. Luna rushed down from the canoe and approached the two girls.

One of the girls with two pigtails hugged Luna, and Luna also hugged with her right hand while her left hand was still hugging the Dandelion she was carrying.

The other girl just looked near the two of them with a smile.

"Lunaa, I'm afraid tauu, you're going to the mainland secretly" said the girl in two pigtails as her hands held Luna's shoulders.

"Sssstttt.", sizzle Luna. His right index finger touched his lips. Luna momentarily glanced at Devan. "eeee... I got a task from grandfather, so I went down to the mainland".", said Luna as she blinked her eyes quickly at the two-pointed girl.

"Haa??, task ap....", not yet finished the two-painted girl spoke suddenly her mouth closed with Luna's right hand.

"Hide. Never mind. The important thing is that I'm fine" said Luna while smiling wryly at the two-pointed girl. "Kan Trevy?", continued Luna while looking at the other girl.

"Eye?. Hm.... Mm.", doubt the girl asserted.

Devan just got off the boat. Luna who noticed it then turned around.

"Grandfather, thank you for driving us" said Luna smiling.

Devan then turned around. "Thank you for the ride, cake" Devan said with a smile.

The paddler's grandfather smiled as he nodded his head to Luna. Then the river that had stopped now flowed in the opposite direction. He walked away with his canoe, without responding to Devan's words.

Devan turned around, facing towards Luna who was standing on the side of the two girls.

"Oh yeah Devan, I know, they're my best friends. Zeya, and Trevy" said Luna, pointing at them with her right index finger.

Zeya, the girl with two golden-yellow pigtails, her eyes are pointed and sharp.

While Trevy, his hair is shoulder-length with bangs on the front, his hair color is also golden yellow, he has wide eyeballs with round glasses that he wears.

"Dianna, Trevy. Recognize, this is Devan, eee. he's a human.", Luna continued to Zoya and Trevy. He hesitated, but tried not to show it.

Zeya, and Trevy stared flat at Luna. And Luna saw the two taking turns while holding a smile on her face.

A moment later, Zeya and Trevy looked towards Devan. Zeya looked at Devan with a sharp look. As for Trevy, he briefly touched the middle of his glasses, then looked at Devan completely, but when Devan looked at him, Trevy turned his gaze to the lower side.

"Ee. hi. Greetings, Zeya, Trevy", said Devan somewhat doubtfully. He tried to smile at the awkward situation.

"Huh..!. Mm.", Trevy said. He was awkward, his voice small.

Zeya was still not finished staring intently at Devan.

Seeing that, Luna walked forward past Zeya and Trevy, after which she turned around.

"Hey, let's go. We talk while walking" said Luna.

"M.", Trevy turned towards Luna and nodded his head.

Zeya still stared intently at Devan. After a long time, he responded to Luna's invitation.

"Come on" said Zeya, turning toward Luna.

Luna, Zeya, and Trevy walked together in front, they were talking about something. While Devan walked behind them, occasionally paying attention to them, seeing Luna look the most passionate about telling stories and handing out a few flower stalks to the two of them.

Devan looks around more often. Like looking at the white-colored path of the clouds he was walking on. On both sides grew full of green grass, as well as green trees that grew apart on the roadside that he passed along the path.

The path they passed was not much different from the previous river path. The road is flat to a certain distance, then uphill to a certain distance, flat again, then back uphill.

On the right side they see a wide blue sky. When the road they went down, on their left side there was a wall of fairy houses, but when uphill, there was only a wall of clouds.

Devan then turns to his left side. The view of the city in the Land of Rayyana slowly began to appear in the reach of his eyes. After a few steps he walked, saw the whole view of the city, his steps stopped right on the line between the green grass and the white street.

He saw white buildings arranged in descending order. Between the rows of buildings, there are sometimes uphill roads that connect the lower areas with the higher ones.

Devan glimpsed at the roofs of the assembled buildings, as if they were a large staircase. and on the sides of every building and street there are a few cranes of soil decorated with green grass and trees that grow every few distances.

Devan then turned his head in the other direction, he saw buildings and roads on a flat surface. At that moment he realized, he was on the surface of the highest Cumulonimbus cloud.

Luna stopped after walking a few steps. He realizes that Devan is not following him. Luna turned around, and saw Devan standing facing Rayyana.

Luna ran small on the grass towards Devan..

"Devan.", Call Luna.

Devan did not answer. Luna then walked slowly to the back of Devan's side. Then he tilted his body until his next leg was slightly raised to peek at Devan's face.

Luna gave a small laugh, seeing Devan's face dumbfounded looking at the city. Devan was not aware of it.

Luna also held Devan's hand, then Devan realized, he turned to Luna.

"Hem.hem.", said Luna, nodding twice. "Rayyana meeemang beautiful, but I have to take you to meet someone. Soiii, first we go there first! hihi", continued Luna, he laughed a little, his hand pulled Devan walking.

Devan just kept quiet, following Luna's words, without returning a word.

After a few steps, Luna takes Devan's hand off and walks by his friends' side. And Devan walked behind the three of them.

They walk on the edge of Rayyana City. After a while, they finally arrived in front of the tree house whose tree trunk was large. On the tree there are doors and windows.

Then they stopped.

"Devan, you wait here first. Can you?, just for a moment.", said Luna.

"Md. Okay, it's okay, Luna" Devan replied.

The three of them then walked in. Zeya suddenly stopped his steps.

"Houum, I'm tired of meeting that old man again. I'll just wait outside. You two are the only ones who enter", said Zeya with a lazy tone.

"Houh Zeyaa. Yeah, well, then you wait here, yeah, with Devan. Come on, Trevy" said Luna.

"Okee.".", said Zeya while his fingers formed a symbol okay.

Zeya waits outside with Devan, while Luna and Trevy enter the tree house.

Once inside, Trevy tries to talk to Luna about what she thinks of Devan.

"Luna's... You. brought a man."

"Why Trevy?".

"Sound.. He can see us."

"Yes, at first I felt that way too."

"You dare bring him here. How about....what if he is an evil man?."

"Oohs. That's about calm. She is a good human being really, hehe" said Luna confidently as she smiled broadly at Trevy.

"Oohs. Yep... Thank goodness he is a good man" Trevy said rather relieved. "So...how do you know Luna, that Devan is a good human being?."

"I asked him."

"Be..be..ask?, aa..what do you mean?"

"Yes, I asked him, he's a good guy or a bad guy. Then he said, if he was a good person.", Luna gave her thumb to Trevy.

"Haaaaaaaaa???!!!"

***

A while had passed after Luna and Trevy had entered the tree house. Zeya and Devan are still waiting for them outside.

Zeya then rushed over to Devan. After they faced each other, Zeya also set his foot firmly to Devan's feet.

"Aaarggh!.", cried devan for a moment, then took a step back.

"God! Thou?. Devan right?, you didn't take advantage of Luna's innocence, did you?."
