Special Chapter 4
Is this really just the consequences of using that Wesley body? I need to find out.
There, I decided to run the car back to Wesley's residence, where Albus Wesley's soul is currently staying. He's a lost soul and I am not going to reap him without an order, even though I can. His Grim Reaper should take the action, not me. But today, perhaps I will reap his soul and deliver him to hell, where my other brother is currently residing.
That brother of mine is the only realisable source of information about why I have been punished by God, our father.
Albus Wesley's soul was terrified when he saw me enter his mansion with his body. I no longer bothered using my hands to open the door because it was opened on purpose when I arrived. People are currently asleep inside the mansion because it is already in the middle of the night. The lights were off and no other sound could be heard other than the slow closing of the door as I entered.
"Good Evening, Wesley." I nod nonchalantly. Yet, he began to tremble like a human who would become a victim of some crime. This is the most ridiculous part of our understanding of humans. They do something inhumane to others, but when karma hits them, they all act like they did nothing wrong and are victims.
We, grim reapers, have this ability to snell souls, and with Wesley's being around, it makes me want to puke on how rotten he smells.
"Who are you? What are you? " He angrily asked, "Get off my body, it's mine, you scumbag!" I simply looked at him before I sat down on the sofa near by.
"Calm down, Wesley." As I get off to Wesley's body, I am talking to him. "After all, this body is not yours anymore." After that, I slowly approach him, who is now stunned as he gazes at his decaying body. Without the presence of me, that body will decay, whether by pros or cos. "The human body molded from the earth will return to the earth." That means everything created or made will go back to where it came from, and that can’t be stopped or changed by anyone. "In a flash, I was close to him. I choked him and quickly slammed his head on the floor. I can’t use my sword to reap him, even if that’s the fastest way, because I need this bad guy to get to hell where he’s headed. He will be my key to talking to my estranged brother. So he had to die with my strength. "Albus
Wesley, son of Alejandro Wesley, as one of the angels of death. I am reaping your soul today. You may now perish in the hellish fire of hell. " When my hand finally caught fire, Wesley was screaming in pain. And as it finally disappeared, his body sank to the floor due to my heavy presence and determination. I have to get to hell. This is my only way to know the truth. Things that creatures in the ministry of death can not say.
A few more minutes later, I maintained my presence, which is why the windows shattered and the furniture in the mansion flew away. But it was not long before the gates of hell opened. It finally swallowed Wesley's lifeless soul, and I went with him. Unlike its body that fell directly into the bloody river, I took out my wing and flew towards Lucifer's castle in the very centre of hell.
Various cries of wailing are what I hear around me. Others ask me for help as they look up at my glowing wings. Something that never disappeared, even though I was punished for a sin I don’t remember. In fact, there is one more thing I wonder about. All I know is that only ice will be the power of the angels of death. But fire is in me, an element unrelated to the time I once held in heaven. Ice is a representation of repentance, but fire is anger. Their power is in line with the last emotion of a grim reaper, which is why I really wonder why I seem to hate the judgement on me. Was my anger the reason my father sent me away? But what is the reason for me feeling that way? The last thing I remember is my father and I still talking about my brother Adam, whom my father planned to resurrect. Whatever the reason, I will also know that through Lucifer.
My flight had not been long when I felt a flaming arrow approaching me. Blue is the color of that fire, and I know that’s from my brother. I quickly avoided it, so it didn't hit me. However, it multiplied more and more, so I could do nothing but use my power. I teleported towards the source of the arrow. It took me to the very top of the castle, where Lucifer was holding an arrow, as if shooting a bird. He immediately felt my presence, but before he could move, I was already ahead of him. I quickly drew my sword and aimed it at his neck. Of all the siblings, Lucifer and I were reconciled then, at a time when he had not yet sought power more than his father, our father. He is not able to reject me because I am his favourite younger brother, while he is the oldest of us.
"I was told that someone had entered my kingdom without permission. It was just you, Saint. Why did you get a visit? Do you miss your older brother? " As he said those words, his weapon disappeared, so I did the same thing. This just means he doesn't want to have a big fight with me. "I'm here to ask." Then he raised an eyebrow before sipping from the golden cup that suddenly appeared in his hand. "With the number of creatures you can approach, I'm still really, really, brother. You know, all my services are paid for. "
"It's about my father's reason for why he cast me out of heaven." I said directly. But he just laughed at me. "Is that the only thing you came here for? How did you think I knew that, when like you, I was exiled too? " He laughed out loud, as if laughing at what I was saying. Yet I remained adamant that he knew what I was asking. Because he is the only former angel of memory. He is the only creature who can know the past of a creature more than anyone else can. "It's also been over five years since my father took back that ability of mine when I lost in our fight on the Tigris River. Don't expect it. " He made a serious statement.
"Father sent me away for about a decade and a half. I know you once glimpsed my past when you found out I was punished. I know you, Brother—,"
I hadn't even finished what I was about to say when our surroundings suddenly changed. We went inside his castle, where there was a throne at the top of the stairs in front of me. while three people were hanging upside down above.
"Don't pretend you still know me, Saint." At that moment, I felt the knife pointed at my neck. "I'm not your brother anymore!" he shouted. But I did not budge.
"In that case, Lucifer, I still want to know what my sin was." He laughed at me again before turning around for a moment while the knife was also spinning around my neck.
"You know, I won't do what you want without a replacement, my brother."
"I expect."
"In that case, present what you can offer."
"Three lives of obstructed humans." He was stunned.
"And what am I going to do with them? Every day, I receive thousands of souls of obstructed humans. " That's when I smiled at him.
"But they are all souls. Well, I can offer you a living human being. " There he laughed again.
"You're going to kill? Then you know when you do that you'll spend a week on the bridge of hell. Don't make me laugh. A day in the human world is years here, Saint. " I turned to him.
"More than the two of us, I know you need a human body more to get out of hell. You've also been imprisoned here for five years, haven't you? " I knew I would commit a great sin and I would spend seven years in this place just to pay for it. If Lucifer can also come out, he will not be silent and cause trouble again. Will prepare for an invasion of heaven as if he could defeat the Father, which he cannot. Yet what is important to me is to know the truth. That’s what matters.
"You're crazy."
"I'll take the offering two days after today."
"You know, I'll wait two more years for that, you damn grim reaper!"
"Then wait." After that agreement, I left and returned to the world of humans. For two days, I was busy retrieving souls, making reports and re-recording their lives in the library of death. At the same time, I am also looking for something to offer. But even so, I was still able to visit Sean using Albus' body, sometimes not.
When the day came that Lucifer and I talked, I decided to visit Sean again. I would have used Albus' body. So I visited the Wesleys' mansion. It was just that they seemed to be looking forward to my arrival. They seemed to already know of my presence in their mansion.
