1 Prologue: Third Eye

Do you believe in Angels?

How do they look like?

Do they fall in love like us?

Do they have genders?

Can we fall in love with them?

Or can they fall in love with humans?

These were only questions in my mind...

But their presence is crystal clear in my eyes.

They can be seen anywhere

They are with us humans.

Listening. . .

Guarding. . .

Working . . .

Traveling. . .

Serving. . .

Watching over. . .

Judging. . .

Blessing. . .

Inflicting karma. . .

Giving justice. . .

And I know they are just like us. . .

Have feelings. . .

Can feel joy. . .

Sadness. . .

and anger.

I used to think it is impossible to have conversation with them in anyway. Though it has been part of my daily life to see them everywhere.

But this belief has changed, when one day. . .

I met him...

******

"These past few days, his headache and fever were persistent.

I know this is the doing of the black insect tightly attached and bitting his neck. I know this seems useless but I'm hoping that somehow, enough rest and the wet towel I placed on his forehead will help decrease his temperature." said Melody while taking care of his ill brother Angeluz.

Infront of them, an Angel is silently watching. Melody was aware of his presence. She's always been aware of this Angel's presence.

"I know you're an Angel, I can see you "

The Angel was surprised upon hearing this but shown no sign of

Her knees trembled in fear while she tried to approach the angel to beg.

"Please, even once... may you speak to me? Please... I'm begging you..."

The Angel just coldly look at her sad eyes and remained silent for a moment yet it was at that time he knew she was really seeing him and speaking to him.

"Just this time, please...if you have the power, please transfer to my neck the black bug bitting my brother's neck. Or transfer the curse to me. I'm begging you... he's just a child. Whatever it is that caused this black bug's appearance, he didn't mean it"

"Please... I'm begging you... He doesn't deserve it"

She knew in the first place that the Angel will never give him a single response, but she still tried. To her surprise, the Angel responded to her for the very first time.

"Your utterance must mean you're aware that this black insect brings nothing but worst bad luck. Truth is, his condition might get better from time to time. However, I can foresee that he only has 5 days left to live"

"5 days? That can not be?" She began knealing down infront of him. Her eyes soon began to burst with tears.

"Please help us! What should I do to lift the curse? Please save him, he's the only one I have. He's my everything"

The Angel began to feel guilty, he knew he already disobeyed a forbiden act for conversating with her but his compassion with the girl was victorious over the law.

"I wonder how in the world were you able to know these things, how were you able to see spiritual beings like me and the black insect" he continued speaking

"Yes... I have always been aware of your and other spiritual creatures' presence. I can see the other angels, I can see these insects everywhere and I know what roles they play in human's lives. I just know that if I try to, like I had done before, I can get no response from the likes of you"

With a sad look he responded:

"How I wish I could grant your wish to lift the curse from your brother, however... I apologize that is something out of my authority. I can neither take away the black insect, nor lift the curse from him, it's because I am not the Karmian Angel assigned to watch over your brother... I am your Karmian Angel instead."

"You... my Karmian Angel?"

"Yes... Karmian Angel, an angel assigned to a human to inflict karma based on his or her wrong doings"

"But who? Who's the Karmian Angel of my brother? I haven't seen him ever since. And where can I find him? I wanna speak to him and beg him to lift the curse from my brother."

"I'm sorry but the only thing I can do is give you an information about an Angel who has a higher authority to lift the curse caused by the black bug"

"Tell me...Where can I find that Angel?"

"Here, take this" said the Angel showing in front of her a piece of what seems to be an old cloth

"What is this? A scroll?" she asked

"Open it"

"This is... a map?"

The scroll looks very old, the language used in written words found on the map are out of this world. Yet somehow, Melody was able to read them.

"Por....ttal...

To..

Her...vve...von

It says...Portal to Hervevon"

"Yes.. Somewhere in this world, there's a place where an entrance to Harvevon can be found...

Harvevon is where the Angel with the authority over death resides. His name is Celestiala"

"B..but how can I find that place if this map does not resemble ours?"

"The answer to that is in you. If you are able to see spiritual beings like us, then there must be a way for you to see spiritual places like the portal to Harvevon. The place where Celestialla resides is impossible to be seen by a normal human, but your ability to see me and the spiritual beings might also be the key to finding Harvevon."

Melody was full of determination to locate the place yet doubtful at the same time.

"That is all I can do to help... I'm really sorry"

"No... you've been a great help. I'm so thankful you took time to speak to me...by the way, my name is Melody, and you. May I know your name?"

There was a sudden silence before the Angel mentioned his name.

"Lagaluz... Lagaluz is my name"

"Lagaluz....my Karmian Angel... I owe a lot to you.

After just a while...

Two more Angels arrived.

"You've commited a grave sin, you're under arrest"

Without letting Lagaluz explain, he was handcuffed and arrested.

"WAIT!!! HE DID NOT COMMIT A SIN! HE DID NOT DO ANYTHING BAD! HE WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP ME!!!"

"LISTEN TO ME PLEASE!"

"PLEASE DON'T ARREST HIM!"

"HE DIDN'T COMMIT A SIN!"

The other Angels just ignored her as if she didn't exist at all.
