The sky was bright as always on planet Heaven and the green grasses and flowers were a sight to behold from above.
Heaven's atmosphere never changed even when it was raining the sun would still be shining and everywhere would be as bright as ever.
The way the planet looked all the time could be deceiving as the Angels leaving there never had any problem to deal with.
The ten leaders of the Angel faction had gathered again in their meeting place which was the dorm-like building that was situated quite a distance away from their normal settlement.
The Angels were currently sitting in their normal seats waiting for the Angel who had summoned them here to state his reason for summoning them.
The Angel who had summoned them was the one who always sat at the far end and always tried to act like some kind of leader between them in each meeting, the Angel who had sent Nova on her mission.
Asherus was the leader of the first Angel faction, he looked the oldest among the other Angel leaders as his hair was completely white and maybe that's why he always tried to assume the role of leadership among them.
The person sitting at the other end was a female Angel who went by the name Shuri, leader of the second faction.
The rest of the Angel leaders in the room were Galgoth leader of the third Angel faction, Lily leader of the fourth faction, Ramon leader of the fifth faction, Rose leader of the sixth faction, Reynold leader of the seventh faction, Zimon leader of the eight faction, Ronald leader of the ninth faction and Sita leader of the tenth faction.
Asherus observed their faces for a while before he cleared his throat and began what he wanted to say.
"I called you all here today because I have gotten a response from Nova," Asherus said.
"What type of response?" Shuri was too quick to ask.
This type of attitude from her usually irritated Asherus but he decided to ignore it today.
"She found the Angel," Asherus said.
"Does the Angel have anything to do with the eleventh crystal?"Galgoth asked.
"I don't think he has anything to do with it because he's just an ordinary Angel," Asherus said.
"With no class?" Lily said.
"Yes," Asherus said.
"Then there's nothing special about him," Shuri said.
"Really?" Asherus said. "When last did you see an ordinary Angel create two Demi-Angels?"
"Huh?" Was the reaction of almost all the Angels in the room.
"Yes, the Angel on earth has created two Demi-Angels which gets me wondering what faction he came from," Asherus said.
"I thought ordinary Angels could create only one Demi-Angel," Reynold said.
"That's what he's saying," Zimon said.
"The Angel has already broken the rule of creation by creating two Demi-Angels." Asherus paused to look at the faces of his fellow leaders. "I have said this before and I am saying it again if you know who that Angel is from your faction please indicate by raising your hand to avoid getting a share of the punishment."
"We have all counted the Angels in our factions and no one is missing," Sita said.
"I'm not saying you didn't count, maybe you didn't count well, you may have made a mistake," Asherus said, getting up from his seat.
"You should also go check if you counted well," Shuri said.
"I will," Asherus said, making his way out of the building as some of the other Angel leaders followed suit.

Matilda was the maid of a friend of Jude's father, she was only thirteen years old when Jude had met her when he followed his father to visit his friend.
That was the first time the two met each other and since then their friendship grew until it had turned into something quite intimate.
Matilda hadn't come to see him since he returned from knight academy because she had gone on a business trip with her master and had only returned yesterday.
"Keep your voice down," Jude said as soon as she had asked that question.
"Were those elves?" She asked with a hushed voice.
"Come sit down first," Jude said, tapping on the space beside him.
"Ok," Matilda said as she walked to him and sat beside him.
Jude quickly got up, walked to the door, and locked it before coming back to sit beside her.
"I came to see you yesterday and you weren't around." She said, "You still haven't answered my question."
"It's complicated Tilda," Jude said.
"Complicated? All you have to do is explain why you were talking to two elves with that communication orb, you know they don't like us." Matilda said. "Come to think of it, I heard the king was looking for two elves...." She stopped speaking as the realization hit her.
"Calm down Tilda things aren't as people say it out there," Jude said.
"Then make me see it in your own light," Matilda said, placing her hand on his shoulder.
"It's a long story but the main thing you should know is that my sister is missing and those elves are trying to help me find her," Jude said.
"Your sister's missing?" Matilda said.
"Wait, you don't know?" Jude said.
"I don't think I was around then," Matilda said. "No wonder I couldn't find her also when I came here yesterday and when I asked your mother about her she didn't reply to me."
"Tania going missing is affecting all of us in this house which is why I need those elves to help me find her," Jude said.
"Have you found any clues leading to where she might be?" Matilda asked.
"We know where she is but getting there has been our problem," Jude said.
"So you want me to keep what I just saw now a secret," Matilda said.
"Yes, please," Jude said.
"You don't have to ask twice, I would do anything for you," Matilda said.
"Thanks, Tilda," Jude said with a little sigh of relief.
'I still have to ask him why the king was looking for the elves later and it's really strange how elves are helping him.' Matilda thought.
"It's not a problem, I've really missed you." She said,
"Yeah, I've missed you too," Jude said, placing both of his hands on her shoulder.
"So how was knight academy?" She asked.
"It was good most of the time I was there," Jude said.
"Were there female knights there?" She asked.
"Yeah, a lot of them."
"Oh," Matilda said.
The reason she had asked that question was that women weren't allowed to get involved in things like this and in Asaka and she wanted to know if it was the same with other kingdoms.
"It's quite a long trip you and your master went on," Jude said.
"Yeah, long and stressful, I haven't had a full rest in days," Matilda said.
The room was silent now but was giving off intense heat as Jude stared into her eyes before pulling her closer for a kiss.
Matilda responded to the kiss with a positive reaction of hunger, how she missed having his warm lips against hers and cuddling up against his body whenever she came to see him.
The passionate kiss went on for a while before Jude had wrapped his hands around her and pulled her down to the bed.
