Pablo handed the two suits to Sera and gave her a smile as well.

"Will you do it for me?" He asked.

"Of course. I thought you would be angry, that’s why I didn’t ask you to send me inside the mist." Sera was ready to dive in.

"You shouldn’t go, Dearest. You will be in danger." Andrezj said.

Sera didn’t hear him.

’Why are you like this? Go yourself.’ Cupid spoke.

"You have the strongest Angel with you, Sera. And this mist hurts you very fast. So you are the best choice for the test. I am glad you accepted it." Pablo placed her hand on her cheek.

"You won’t die. Believe me." He said.

Sera was all red and she wore both suits right away.

It took her thirty minutes to wear both the suits and she was finally ready.

The suits were not of her size but Pablo just wanted to see its durability against the mist.

"Can you hear me?" He asked.

"Mffhg." Sera replied but her voice didn’t come out well.

Pablo had made the face area from Demonite too. Sera was technically blind as long as she was wearing the suit.

"If you can hear me then talk with Andrezj through your mind. He will tell you directions and things. And now I am going to burn you. Are you ready?"

"Mffhg."

"I hope it means yes."

Pablo didn’t wait for any translation and took out glory matches from his bracelet.

He lit two sticks and showed it to the Demonite suit.

The suit caught fire and Pablo waited for Sera’s reaction.

"Mffgh?" Sera spoke.

"What are you saying? Andre, explain." Pablo asked the Angel.

"She is asking, did you set her on fire?" Andrezj said.

Cupid relayed it to Pablo.

Pablo’s eyes lit up. "So she isn’t feeling any heat? The Kevlar worked?"

"Mffgh."

"She says yes. It worked. No heat." Andrezj said.

Cupid relayed it to Pablo again.

Pablo smiled. "Finally. Now the main thing is left. Go inside the mist, Sera."

Pablo gave her a little push and Sera started walking.

She walked like a robot, one step at a time and she couldn’t see anything in front of her.

Andrezj floated beside Sera but before following her, he looked at Cupid.

"I definitely hate this man."

"I understand." Cupid replied.

Pablo heard only Cupid. "What did you understand?"

"You focus on your work." Cupid didn’t relay that to Pablo and Pablo never cared anyway.

Andrezj talked with Sera through his mind all the way and they both stopped when they were just one step away from entering the mist.

"Keep going And come out as soon as you feel any damage. And if you don’t feel any damage, then come back after one hour ." Pablo gave some instructions.

And Sera’s legs moved forward.

She entered the mist.

Andrezj followed behind her and Pablo waited.

"The mist hurts her as fast as possible. If the suit is bad she will be coming out in one or two seconds. If she doesn’t come out early, then I am successful. Keep an eye on the time."

Pablo stared at the spot from which Sera went inside the mist and he would stare there until she came out.

He continuously tapped his foot on the ground and it wasn’t even that long since Sera left.

"Are you worried about her?" Cupid asked.

"No. Andrezj won’t let her die. It’s just, I want the suit to work."

"It’s true Andrezj won’t let her die but what if something stronger than him resides behind the mist?"

"Then I have to make another suit and send another test subject inside the mist."

"You are the worst. She loves you so much and yet, you have no tenderness for her."

"All my tenderness died a long time ago. Even if I touch someone with all the love I can manage, my hands will still make them bleed. I am banished."

"That’s not tru-"

"Stop with this love talk. I have a mission to finish, five rapists to kill and restore this world of yours. No time for love." Pablo made it clear and Cupid didn’t pursue the topic further.

Pablo waited for Sera to appear and the road he was on was empty. No one was there. Only Pablo and the white mist.

The mist had made everyone afraid to come here.

Pablo looked around the area but he couldn’t concentrate on anything.

"It’s good she didn’t come out right away. And I think it will take a while now."

Pablo stopped walking around and sat crossed legged in the middle of the road.

He sat far away from the mist and watched the scene in front of him.

Cupid said nothing and time passed like that.

"One hour is up." Cupid shared.

Pablo stood up. "She hasn’t come out yet."

He walked towards the mist. He couldn’t go inside the mist so he could only wait there.

"So you are worried about her after all." Cupid remarked.

"If I ask you to go inside will you go?"

"Nope. I am not your guardian angel and I don’t love you."

"Exactly."

"What?" Cupid didn’t get it.

"She went inside the mist in just one order of mine. Where else will I find a person like her? I may not be outright worried about her but I still want her to come back." Pablo explained his thoughts.

"At least you want her to come back. That’s good enough for now."

Pablo stopped talking and waited for Sera to appear.

More than one hour had passed and Pablo was thinking the worst.

"Are there really Cannibals inside? What if the Demon attacked them?"

"If there was a Demon, I and Andrezj would have sensed him long ago." Cupid said.

"I know. But what if the Demon knows how to hide his presence so that not even the Angels could sense him."

"Then… good luck." Cupid shrugged.

Pablo took a deep breath.

"Sera!" He called.

"Come back!" He yelled as loud as possible.

"Move!" Another shout resounded in the area and Pablo knew the voice.

"What is it?" He asked.

It was Cupid who shouted.

"Move!" She shouted again and this time, Pablo obliged.

He tilted his body to the left but he should have done that when Cupid shouted the first time.

FRISH!

THUD!

Something came out of the mist and it landed straight on Pablo.

Pablo fell far away from the mist and that thing was on top of him.

He looked at it and his eyes went wide.

"Sera?"

It was the same black suit and that was all he needed to know that it was Sera.

The suit was still burning and Pablo could feel the heat.

He removed Sera from above him and patted his clothes.

The fire from the Glory matches spread very fast and he saw that himself. His clothes had caught fire just by Sera being on top of him for a few seconds.

After making sure he was safe, Pablo put his hand inside his bracelet and took a black cloth.

He placed it on Sera’s suit and rubbed it on the Demonite.

’Good thing I made a blanket out of Kevlar as well.’

The fire went out. Demonite was not on fire anymore.

"Sera. Can you hear me? Sera. Sera!" Pablo shook Sera violently. But he received no movements from her.

"This is bad."

Pablo opened the Demonite suit from Sera and then he removed the Kevlar.

Sera was finally without any suit and Pablo held her in his arms.

"She is unconscious. How? Sera, wake up." Pablo shook her again. But more than that, he was delighted to know that the white mist didn’t harm her body this time.

"More than that, where is Andrezj?" Cupid posed a question.

"He is not with her?" Pablo didn’t know that. He thought Andrezj came with Sera.

"No. He is not. He didn’t come out." Cupid revealed.

Pablo looked at the mist.

"What the hell is behind thi-"

"You bastarddd!"

Something else came out of the mist and it came right at Pablo.

Pablo only saw a streak of golden light and the next thing he knew was that he was pinned on the ground and a man was pummeling him.

Just one punch was enough to swell one eye of Pablo.

Pablo was helpless against the man. He couldn’t even move his finger.

"You did this. You did this to her! I will kill you!" The man cursed.

"She loves you so much. She loves you to pieces. Yet. You sent her inside. She lost consciousness because of you. She screamed because of you. She cried because of you. I will kill youuu!"

Pablo received fists after fists on his face and he was able to hear what the man was saying.

Both of his eyes were purple and bloodied but did his best to see the man.

’A halo behind his head. So he is Andrezj.’

Pablo saw Sera’s guardian Angel for the first time. He had a bigger halo than Cupid and he was enraged.

"Andrezj. Stop! Don’t hit him like that! Tell us what happened!" Cupid shouted from behind.

She couldn’t gather the courage to stop Andrezj herself. She could only yell.

But she was asking Andrezj to stop not because she was afraid Pablo would die. She was stopping the male Angel because she knew Pablo Castillo.

Pablo took all the punches Andrezj offered him but without the knowledge of both Angels, Pablo was moving his hands.

He held something and with just one hand, he did it.

KRICK!

Cupid heard a sound and she was familiar with the sound.

It was the sound of a matchstick being lit. And the only matches near the area were Glory Matches.

And when she registered the happenings, her eyes turned wide.

"No, Pablo. Don’t!" She shouted but it was too late.

Pablo brought the stick on Andrezj’s back.

Andrezj was drunk in rage. He never stopped punching Pablo.

"An-ngel…" Pablo muttered.

He took punches of the male angel but even the strongest Angel shivered when Pablo smiled.

He moved the glory match closer to Andrezj’s wings and without any delay, he lit the Angel on flames.

"Get burned."
