"Your request is not easy Veena, we need the whole council to do that but because we already have a meeting yesterday the next will be next month" Diamond said and Veena just cried there because knew that she can't do anything but cry
"There's another solution though" Black suddenly said then he stand up and walk close to them with his finger on his chin
"You need to sacrifice something for him then Diamond will talk to the angels" Black said and then he smile but Diamond roll her eyes
"But Black we need to talk to the angels first before we do the sacrifice" Diamond said while looking at her brother
"If we did that they will not agreed but if we do it he sacrifice first, they have no choice but to give another punishment but not death" Black cleverly said and cross his arms
"Let's do it" Veena said eagerly while her both hands are on the table
"Veena are you sure about this?" Diamond ask because she is not ready
"Yes Diamond, I will do anything just for him, I don't want him to be gone" Veena said that touch Diamond's heart and her eyes turns to it's original color
"I think I can't do anything to change your mind" Diamond said again and smile at her and she did the same
"What do you want to sacrifice? " Black ask to Veena and she looks at him
"My wings" she seriously said
"But that's the most important thing for you Veena" Diamond's brows furrowed as she said that but she only see eagerness into her eyes
"I will sacrifice my wings" Veena bravely said and Diamond just sigh but she still smile and look at Black
"Black bring out the tools we needed" she said, Black just smile and nodded at the two of them
"Are you ready? You can back out if you want" Diamond said but Veena just laugh at her
"My decision is final, I want to do this because I know he doesn't deserve that kind of punishment" Veena seriously said and Diamond just sigh again
Diamond smile in her mind because of the determination of Veena to save Scorch, doing the sacrifice is illegal when the whole council didn't know about it or they don't have all the blessings of the other four leaders but what can Diamond do when it is Veena who beg for her help and she knew that Black is affected too that's why he said the other way to save Scorch, when the other leaders knew about this they can kick Diamond out of the council and the council may decide to kick out Black to underworld and he might stay on earth forever but the two of them don't care as long as Veena is happy they will continue to help their friend that they treated as a little sister.
Black went back to Diamond's room with a black wooden medium size box in his hand, he put it on the study table and gestured his hand for Diamond to open the box, Diamond went close to the box and put her hand above it until a gold line trace every single characters and words that is written outside the box then she remove her hands and the box opened, but a knock on the door interrupted them.
"Black hide Veena and the box" Diamond whispered and black nodded his head, he carry the box then he hold Veena's shoulder and they disappeared,  Diamond quickly sit on her chair and put some papers in front of her
"Come in" Diamond said and the door opened revealing the two demon guards and an angel
"Milady, this angel said that he have a message from the council" one of the guards said then they bow and went out of the door then close it
"You may take a sit" Diamond said and the angel gladly took a seat in front of her
"What does the council wants Walden? " she seriously said and look straight into his eyes
"The council wants to know if there's a demon under your command that help an angel in the past three weeks" Walden said and that makes Diamond nervous a little but she cover it with a spell so Walden can't feel her very fast beating heart
"I have been watching them and I allowed no one to come out into our world for now, but may I ask why the council said that? " she lied and she knows it but she's a demon she can lie to everyone but not to her family
"A guardian angel was sent to the lost world to be punish but a demon help him to go back to earth but something more happened that the council wants to talk about tomorrow, Ruby the leader of fairies wants to see the demon and the others wants you Milady to find and punish the said demon" Walden explained and Diamond just nodded, now that she knew the council wants it is easy for her and Black to cover for Veena
"Tell the others that I will find that demon immediately and I will punish whoever helped that Angel" Diamond said a d Wald nodded then he stand up
"I am going to go back Milady I hope you find the demon" Walden said and bow his head then he went out of the door,Diamond sigh because of relief and the she close her eyes
"Black the angel is gone" she said and then Black with Veena and the box suddenly appeared in front of her, Diamond lock the door using her mind and Black put the box in her table again
"We need to hurry,  I think that they will kill him any seconds now" she said and put the tools she needed in the table one by one, there are black metal beads that are made of pure metal and magma with a little spell, a small glads bottle with ashes of the body of lost souls that came from Illusia's mirrors inside, a black knife that is made of pure black diamond and blood of a strongest demon with a pure metal and magma handle, a gold bowl with some black linings that are made of blood from an angel and a demon and last but not the least a black book with gold letters that is made of a monster's skin and the words were written by the first half demon and a half angel sinner
"Veena kneel in the carpet and spread your wings" Diamond commanded and Veena do what she said while Black just look at them and it is visible that he is nervous that he almost regret that he said the other way to save an angel from the council's punishment, Veena looks nervous but it is the only thing that she can do for Scorch, Diamond open the book and read it
"I, Diamond, one of the leader in the council, offers a blood of a sinner, that can be exchange with a wish" Diamond said then she pick up the gold bowl and the black knife, then she cut Veena on her chest that makes Veena moan in pain but held it in, she put the bowl below the cut to catch the slow flow of Veena's blood when she got enough amount of blood she healed her wound, then Diamond put the ashes into the blood then mix it and then she proceed on reading the book
"I offer this blood of the sinner with the ashes of the lost souls to the creatures in every world" she said and put the gold bowl in front of Veena the she took the black metal beads and look at her
"This is going to be a little painful" she said and Veena close her eyes same with Black who is watching in the corner of the room
"Aaahhhh!!! " Veena shouted when she felt a sudden pain in her back, Diamond just wrap the black metal beads into her wings and cut it, a tear fell into Veena's eyes but she didn't care as long as she save Scorch from death
"I offer this wings of the sinner for the creatures in every world for their one sin can be forgiven and shall not be punish when the day they die in exchange of freeing the angel that named Scorch from the punishment of death that the council have decided" she said and put the wings beside the gold bowl while Black went to Veena and heal her then he carry her to sit in the couch, Diamond pour the content of the gold bowl into the wings and little by little it burn until the only thing that can be seen are ashes on the floor, Diamond collect the ashes
"Bring my message but not my name" she whispered into the ashes then blew it in the air
"How is she? Is she fine? " she ask to her brother that is caressing Veena's hair while she is sleeping in his lap
"She is fine, she just need to rest so her wound will completely heal" he said and sigh the same with Diamond, she sit in the couch too, in Veena's head and kiss her forehead
"Rest for awhile little Ven and tomorrow you will see your love again" she said and smile
"Is it going to be fine Diamond?  I mean what if the angels know this?  What if Kier know about this?" Black ask feeling scared for the three of them, he doesn't want the two important ladies in his life to be gone, for him they are the only once that he have in his life
"We need to keep it as a secret for now, I know that they will found out about this but we need to keep our mouth shut to protect Veena and if ever that Kier found out about this I don't care if the demons and angels will have a war but the important thing is we will stop Kier to repeat the things that he did in the past" she said while looking at Black and he nodded but there are things that is bothering him
"I saw that the angel Scorch have a human that he is guarding, what if that human will be affected because of this? " Black said completely concern about the human because he is still the connector of peace for humans and demons, they are not bad at all they still have guilt and pity in their body
"I will send someone to protect the human so don't worry about it brother, tomorrow the council have a meeting I want you to take Veena in the lost world and lock her there and I also want you to bring that angel to Vale and Slash then tell them to look out for him and if they ask why? Tell them the truth they are not our enemies, I know that the council will do anything to eliminate them to hid the truth" she said and Black just nodded then suddenly she remembered the past events that have happened hundred years ago when the demons are still not included to the council and how did she found out that the council is not a peace keeper but they are the war starter

Different creatures are called to celebrate the new council that was formed a few months ago, many creatures are at peace because the council are doing the best they can but little did they know that the new council is up for something. Diamond walk to the hallway hoping to find her little brother Black but she failed on finding him.
"Where is that boy?" She said until she heard some noises that came from the huge door at the end of the hallway, being a demon she is, she focus to that sound and she heard some familiar voices
"She killed my brother that's why I want her to be dead" a male voice said and she also heard some noises that she thinks that something got hit
"She didn't directly killed your brother because your brother choose to command some demon to kill him" a female voice said this time
"But she choose to reject my brother's love just to be with that pathetic human being..... What she can get to that wood cutter?.... My brother can give her everything but she choose to reject it" the same male voice said
"Don't worry we have the power to control now, I'm sure that you can get the revenge you want for your brother" another male voice said
"I don't think it was a good idea besides your brother is the one who choose his death" another male voice said
"Close your mouth and let him do what he wants" the female voice said
That's the time that Diamond realize that she was listening to the council's conversation, she quickly run down the stairs and luckily she bump into her brother Black, he ask so many questions so she tell him what she heard and they quickly went into their house to think who is the council talking about after a few days they found out who it is but they are already late because Raven is already dead the same with the human she love Corvus, they felt sorry because they are late but Diamond found a solution to look out at the council and that is to be one of them.

Scorch open his eyes and all that he can saw is white, he can't see any corner but just white, he stand up and look around but he really didn't found anyone so he decided to walk because he thought that it is the lost world where Veena was in and because of that he suddenly felt happy like there's something inside him that wants to leap out but his dreams scattered when when he suddenly heard a voice that makes him disappointed
"Hello to you guardian angel, what's with the sad face?" A voice said and a figure appeared far away from him but it turns out to be an angel just like him but base on his gold armor the man have a high place in their world, Scorch kneel with one knee and bow his head when he recognize who it is
"Master Kier" Scorch said that's the name that the angels needs to say when they are talking or greeting to Kier
"Stand up"Kier said when he got close to Scorch and he did what he said
"Do you know what you are doing here?" Kier said that makes him think ,he just shook his head because he really don't know unless.....
"We sent you to the lost world to teach you a lesson but instead you seek help from a demon to go back to earth" Kier said straight forwardly and walk closer to him but even if Scorch wanted to step backwards he can't because his feet can move and he guess it is because of Kier's ability, he didn't want Veena to get involve in his situation but he guess that the council found out
"You do a thing more than that, you heal a demon using the old ways of out healers, we only use that if the wounded is an angel but instead you use it to a demon and from what I heard you save that demon multiple times that makes your ability to be weakened little by little" Kier said while walking in a circular motion around him, Scorch palms sweat the same with his forehead because he knows the consequences for his action and he knew that Kier will do it without second thoughts.
"I'm sorry master Kier" he said but Kier just laugh and a force hit him that makes him hit the invisible wall and blood ooze from his mouth
"That's a mistake, we have an agreement with them that we can't help each other if one is under a punishment, I know that Diamond is finding that demon right now to kill just like what Walden said and I will do the same to you" Kier said that makes Scorch eyes to widen, he will accept his fate with all of his heart but he didn't want Veena to die just like before, he swear that he will prevent the past to happen again but it seems like it just started before he remember their past, without him knowing tears fell into his eyes while holding his stomach and thinking about Veena.
"Just accept it, it's your fault" Kier said  and a blinding light appear from his hand, he was about to hit Scorch with it and Scorch just close his eyes tightly when a portal appear and it reveal Ruby that walks towards Kier and whispered something
"You are lucky that someone sacrifice a pair of wings for you to be set free but I'm not gonna let you go that easily, I will not let you to guard a human anymore and from now on you can't go back here unless you have something to sacrifice for exchange to be back" Kier said and then he disappeared with Ruby, Scorch sigh but tears are still falling from his eyes, he didn't know what happened to Veena but he still hope that they won't find her and little by little his eyes close and he disappeared leaving the place quite as before.
