A defeaning silenced engulf the Demons  as they stare at each other not knowing what to do. Elena was sleeping in a room beside scorch who are resting as well, a barrier made by Diamond surrounds them, blocking their scents to other Demons especially the council. The three Demons were buried deep in their thoughts not knowing how to start a conversation with an intricate topic. 
"So? who will start?" Black said, smiling widely at his sister Diamond and their friend, Voltaire. 
"I thought it was nothing serious when Vale told me the story of the sealed soul of nephilim, the nephilim who can communicate to any realm. I thought it was a lie since Vale doesn't belong to any realm but that ruined place" Diamond started while looking blankly at the wall with sadness present in her eyes. 
   She clearly remembers everything that day, many years after Raven's death where she and Vale met again. She told her what happened and what would happen but she blankly stares at her with eyes full of disgust. She doesn't believe everything she said. To make it clear, she thinks Vale is an accomplice of Raven's murderer, reported it to the council and became the reason why Vale was banished from her realm and ended at that place. Eversince then, everything about Vale changed even her appearance. 
"She told me that the soul of the nephilim was kept by Illusia and a tragedy will come. One will stole the sinner's soul and it will come back to it's land of Birth at the age where everything starts. The thief's hands full of blood of the roots" Diamond narrates with eyes full of sorrow and heart filled with misery, she stares at the wall like it is the most interesting piece of  art that only a few people can see. 
"I don't blame you for thinking that she is messing with you, her words are like riddles but it isn't, you can't answer that if you don't have a clue about the past" Black snickered at his own words but looks at her slightly, amused by her side of the story.  
"The only thing that can be reincarnated is the body while the soul keeps all the memories of one's body, I suspected that one of the guardians might have stole it since they cannot be traced" she said while thinking of the possibilities. The banished creatures of any realms that became the guardians are untraceable since they are not connected to any realms link anymore. 
"But what is the intention of the culprit?" Black asked her and she just sat there quietly. 
  There's one thing that is clear, they now understand everything starting from Elena seeing Scorch and how her body slowly adopting the memories from her soul, familiarizing everything even Scorch's presence, hence seeing him suddenly as her guardian angel. Despite that, they are still wondering if it's fate that works this way or every living creature makes it work this way? She doesn't know the answer as she is confuse too. Thousand of years living and vowing to protect her family is not enough, that her duty as the eldest is not yet fulfilled, well it will never be, she failed. At this point all of them wondered, what would they do if they are in Elena, Veena and Scorch's shoes? They live as they are but they fell in love uniting two hearts as one then the world turn it's back on them like they are not one of the creations. A sin for being able to feel love and happiness others cannot achieve. Now that they are in the same phase again, feeling the same but slowly knowing the truth behind the tragedy and misery, will their fate be the same or could they change it? 
    Sudden noise of moving chair wakes Diamond from her daydream, Voltaire stood up from where he sat and went straight upstairs without saying a word to his fellow creatures. The other two looks at each other, confused but let it slide and continued their inside arguments. Diamond scolding herself for the past mistakes while Black is having a dilemma on what plant to put inside his house. 
    Lying on the bed sleeping soundlessly and peaceful, Voltaire sat at a chair beside the bed where Elena is sleeping. 
" Why did you come back?" he whispered with sadness visible in his eyes.

    The little girl was running around the flower field with a stick, it's end tied to form the shape of a circle, on the side there's a bucket filled water and horse chestnuts used to making soap but it seems like the girl have other ideas ideas other than making soap. Not far from the flower field behind the oak tree, the boy watches her with curious eyes. 
"What are those?" he whispered as he eyed the bubbles formed and the girl ran through the field, laughing as she did. 
" You can play with her you know?" he was startled with the voice but relaxed when he saw his mother looking at him. 
" I don't want to scare her"
" She's alone, I saw her mother harvesting horse chestnuts not far from here" his mother said with hopeful eyes but instead of doing what she wants to, the boy turn his back on her. 
" maybe next time" those words left his mouth without a hint of sincerity
" Why are you so afraid? I think both of you have the same age" but the boy left, leaving the poor woman with eyes of hope slowly fades away. 
   It became a routine for the boy to watch the girl play every day on the field. He laughs when she laughs and he smile when she smiles. But it seems like this day is different from others, he can't see the girl nor the mother like he used to. 
" Why are you always watching me?" a voice said coming from behind him startled him. He let his guard down that he didn't notice the girl slowly walking towards him and approached him with such question. 
"I'm not watching you, I'm watching the flowers!" with slightly raised voice that manged to come out, feeling nervous that he got caught. 
"Okay.. Play with me then" the girl laughs and dragged the boy with her in the middle of the field and laughs filled the heart of the forest with joy. 
Their friendship blooms like a flower in spring, growing beautiful each day and that's when they realize that this is the friendship they wanted to keep until their last breathe. Friendship is not a simple word you can say to others, it requires all the feelings to be felt same with romantic love. It requires all the trust and understanding to have a friendship that can last forever but for Voltaire, a simple lie can broke one's trust, built by friendship for years. He cherish everyone that comes to his life despite being a demon, his mother told him that everyone has a chance, their love is a gift and he believe that Christine was a gift from the creator for him, only for Christine to betrayed him and him to do the same to her.

"I promised to protect you but in the end I hurt you" he quietly said while holding her hands and put it on his lips, leaving a kiss. 
" I will try my best to keep my promise this time, just like what I did when we were young" and with that he layed his head on the bed while holding her hands, falling into deep slumber remembering the past.

"Christine, do you love anyone?" the fifteen years old Voltaire ask  while laying on Christine's lap under the oak tree where they first met officially. Love holds emotions he never felt before and it made him anxious, he doesn't know if he is allowed to feel it or to ask questions about it. 
"Of course, my parents" 
"No, I mean other than your parents" he said nervously
" Yes, Alston" and with that the unfamiliar feeling started to stir in his stomach wanting the said name leave his mind.
"Do you love him so much?" he asked with a voice almost cracking. 
"Of course, I love Alston so much he is-" she said but was cut off when he suddenly stood up from her where he is comfortably laying. 
"I need to go, I forgot mother needs my help with something" and with that he disappeared inside the forest, leaving Christine forcing a smile on her face without knowing that it is the last time they will see each other as friends.
