If been two years since the couple got married, and after enjoying their marriage for two years, Lady Kimberly Reghar fall ill.
A serious illness that has no cure, Mazdean travel from different towns to another to found a doctor who can cure his sick wife illness.. The illness is also beyond his power.
He had a feelings that her time is coming to an end, but he was still not giving up. Trying maybe it's possible.
Mazdean had gone out this morning leaving Kimberly in Cynthia and Mila's care.
〰️〰️〰️
Kimberly who was laying weakly on bed saw the Salvette Mortem.
The Salvette Mortem, is a demon that brings soul to hell. She had once read about it, when she was trying to know more about demons and hell.
"It seems like my time has come too," whispered Kimberly, and it didn't bother her because she knew if the creature of the death was going to take her to Hell, she would be able to see Mazdean there again.
Because she knew that he's a demon so hell was his real world. And for the Salvette Mortem to show up here, it's means he's bringing her to hell.
Her consciousness started to sway, and her vision began to dim until she finally fell into darkness.
The Salvette Mortem whose hand had nothing a few seconds ago, an axe appeared in its hand that was bloody. It looked down at the girl who didn't move and had stopped breathing.
The creature of death, slowly moved towards the girl so that it could deliver her soul to Hell. But at the same time, a pair of white wings appeared in front of it, blocking its way. It was angel Gabriel, who wore white robes and his white wings that were present on his back.
"You are quite fast," said Gabriel, who had arrived few minutes ago in the room.
The Salvette Mortem didn't pay heed to the words spoken by the archangel, and it tried to get hold of the girl's soul when Gabriel pushed it away with his hand. "Her soul doesn't belong to Hell but Heaven." He hadn't expected for Kimberly to die, but now that she was dead, it was only right to guide her soul in the right direction instead of letting the Devil take charge of her innocent soul. Once the soul would register to be part of Hell, there was no taking it back, and her heart would slowly taint itself.
The Salvette Mortem was not pleased seeing the angel trying to disrupt the order given to it. It opened its mouth to speak something to Gabriel.
"I don't care what the Devil wants. I won't allow this child's soul to be tainted. Not one that is pure," responded Gabriel, and he raised his hand to swipe in front of the creature and the Salvette Mortem faded into the background of the forest.
Gabriel walked towards where Kimberly laid unmoving on the bed.
"This is what happens when angels step into the living world."
it was only right to take her to Heaven where she could lead her afterlife in peace after the hardships she went through in the living world.
Gabriel's head moved in the direction where he heard the sound of wings flapping against each other. His lips pressed itself in a thin line, and he turned around to pick up Kimberly soul in his arms. Leaving the lifeless body on the bed. He flew out of the house. before disappearing from there as if they didn't exist.
Both Cynthia and Mila could not register what just happened. They both started to cry, when they see that Kimberly is no more breathing. She's dead.
Mazdean who was on his way back home, smelled the strong scent of Kimberly's soul, and he caught sight of the big white wings. when he caught sight of a man, his eyes narrowed, and it worsened when he saw Kimberly in the angel's arms.
Before Mazdean could get there, Gabriel disappeared with Kimberly from there without a trace behind. Mazdean's hands turned to fists, unable to believe that they had missed each other by only a few seconds.
Mazdean's anger knew no bounds, and he punched the nearest tree for it to fall with a loud thud in the forest. It was Like Kimberly didn't exist in this world anymore, and the memory that she had built in the living world had been erased.
He entered their room and see Kimberly lifeless body with no soul, his blood boiled. And he disappeared immediately.
〰️〰️
HELL...
Mazdean made his way through the long and wide corridors of the tower and entered into the room where Lucifer had only got up from his throne.
"You appear to be in a foul mood, Mazdean . Everything alright?" asked Lucifer with a calm voice.
"How does one enter Heaven?" demanded Mazdean .
"For that one will need to die and have a pure soul," Lucifer raised his eyebrows before realizing what must have happened.
noticing Mazdean's eyes that had changed its colour. The aura that he emitted right now was dangerous and stifling.
Lucifer took note of it, and he stared at Mazdean. It was often told that one needed a push or a trigger for their true nature to be revealed, and right now Mazdean's wrath wafted in the air.
"You were once part of Heaven. I believe you know how to get there," stated Mazdean .
Since Mazdean eyes had fallen on Kimberly's dead and unmoving body, his patience had slipped past through his fingers. He had kept a close eye on Kimberly. protecting and taking care of her while watching every single step of hers so that she wouldn't step on a stone or thorn.
"Do you think the angels at the gate would open the gates for a demon like you or me? It isn't easy to step in there, Mazdean ," said Lucifer .
Mazdean's eyes narrowed, "You expect me to sit quietly and let go of Kimberly?"
"It's a dangerous one, even though you are a Djinn."
"That is up to me." stated Mazdean . Upon hearing this Lucifer looked slightly grim. " I am going there with or without your help."
"Odin," Lucifer called his servant, "Get ready, we are leaving for Heaven."
〰️〰️〰️
When Kimberly opened her eyes, which had returned to her usual brown ones, it took her a while before she was finally able to completely open them and see where she was. All she saw was the blue sky that stretched from one side to another with a never-ending expanse. She felt something soft beneath where she laid, and she pushed herself to stand up.
Kimberly looked down to see the smokey clouds beneath her feet. She didn't know where she was and didn't find anyone around right now.
Where was she and what was she doing here? Questioned Kimberly to herself.
She started to walk, her feet careful as she was worried where she would fall down and somewhere in the back of her mind, she felt as if she was dreaming. After walking a few distance, Kimberly didn't know what or where to go from here until she heard someone behind her speak,
"Good morning, Kimberly ."
Her head snapped around, and Kimberly caught sight of a person with blonde and wavy hair, "Who are you?" she asked with a faint frown on her face.
The person had white wings behind his back, and he offered her a warm smile even though he had heard the same question being asked almost every day by people who entered the realm of Heaven.
"We have met before. I am an archangel and my name is Gabriel," he introduced himself. "I can tell by the look on your face that you are confused and wondering where you are, but I believe you have already figured it out."
"Heaven?" whispered Kimberly and Gabriel nodded. "Does this mean I am dead?" she asked him.
Gabriel didn't nod nor did he answer her question right away, but he then said, "We all finish our terms in the living world. God creates us with certain tasks that we need to complete. When the person is done and is worthy to enter Heaven, the person gets invited in here. It is the afterlife where one doesn't have to worry about anything as this is a place where you shall be protected and will find the everlasting peace in your mind. Don't you feel that?" he asked, his golden-brown eyes staring into her brown ones that had slightly lowered down.
"I do feel I am in peace," agreed Kimberly before offering Gabriel a smile. "I feel like my mind is free, and there is nothing I need to worry about." But somewhere in the corner of her mind, she didn't know why it felt as if something was trying to push her memories into her mind. "It is strange…"
"What is?" questioned Gabriel, his eyes picking on her facial expression that looked like she was confused.
"Why is it that I am not able to remember anything," murmured Kimberly under her breath.
Gabriel knew this was going to happen, it happened to every single soul, and Kimberly was no exception. Every soul from the living world who entered Heaven had his or her memory erased. Being the person who had brought her into Heaven so that her soul wouldn't be lost midway, it had been a few minutes since they had left the living world and had entered Heaven.
The archangel had been apprehensive if Kimberly would continue to have her memories intact, but he was glad to hear that it had been erased. This way, she would peacefully be able to transcend into the afterlife.
"Don't be frightened over it, Kimberly ," instructed Gabriel. He placed his hand on her arm and said, "What happened when you were in the living world doesn't matter anymore. It is a past that you don't have to worry about remembering and recollecting. Some memories are washed away so that you could attain inner mental peace. God has given you shelter, and he has welcomed you with open arms, my child."
Kimberly bowed her head, "God has been generous."
"That he has. Come let's take a walk so that I can show you the place," offered Gabriel, and Madeline started to walk with him.
"Where are others?" asked Kimberly because she had not seen anyone in sight since she had woken up from her sleep that felt like a slumber as if she had been sleeping for years. "Where exactly is Heaven?" she questioned, her curiosity peeking with questions.
"It isn't a place that you can travel to. Heaven will come to you when you deserve it. It will open the doors and show you the path. You have a pure heart, and it holds good to everyone who is in Heaven, the souls I mean," explained Gabriel, his footsteps were steady, letting Kimberly walk next to him. "Right now, we are in the pathway passage that comes before the gates to Heaven."
When Kimberly turned, she noticed her wings that were as big as Gabriel's wings, "I have wings," her words were filled with surprise as if it was her first time seeing it.
"The most gifted one's will always receive it. Your actions and nature has been remarkable in the living world," informed Gabriel, and as they continued to walk, Kimberly caught sight of an open garden ahead of them, that had plenty of flowers, and it gave out a pleasant smell.
"They smell like roses," murmured Kimberly. They had started to walk past the tall trees and beneath their feet was the green grass to cushion their bare feet.
Gabriel smiled at her words, "The garden of Owe smells to please every soul who resides in this realm. Every person smells a different scent coming from it, something that would calm them. Some smell honey, some smell wet mud and many other things."
"What do you smell, Gabriel?" asked Kimberly, turning to look at the archangel who stared at the bushes and the flowers in there.
Taking a second to answer, Gabriel replied, "I smell the clouds."
The clouds? Thought Kimberly to herself, how strange.
Just as they continued to walk in the vast place that looked like a garden with tall trees that had grown at random places, she caught sight of people who wore white robes similar to what Gabriel and she wore. Except that they had no wings, but they did have a halo above their head.
