…

Aziel saw a dark space with nothing in it when he went through the gate. It feels like his body control on its own leads him through the end of the gate. At the end of it, they teleported to some random house in the atmosphere Aziel seems familiar with. The starry sky lights the gloomy night. The house is surrounded by a field of paddy. The field of paddy is located between one house to one house. The paddy separates the house from the other house. The breeze from the paddy field makes Aziel feel cosier than the world he was in before that called the Abyss.

This is...the world we used to live in right? Aziel monologues with himself.

Right after they arrive there, the four of them camouflage themselves by hiding in the paddy around the house. They are wearing the same black uniform with a thin silver line across the front that makes it easier to camouflage themselves.

All of them silence themselves without talking even a little. Aziel, who still can't pick up what they have to do there, just follows the other's action. He isn't sure whether he should tell them about everything or not.

"What are we doing here?" Aziel breaks the silence by whispering toward Navir who is hiding at his left side.

"Huh? Doing our troublesome work of course... Huhh, I'm tired of doing this already...I just want to sleep!" Navir accidentally speaks out a bit loud.

"Oi! Shut up!" the stupid Keira who sits at the left side of Navir just want to remind him to stay silent but just make things worse with his loud warning.

Glen, who sits at Keira's left side, pats Keira's back a bit and just gives a silent sign with his index finger on his lips. He indicated it to Navir and Aziel also. After a while, Glen gives a sign to move forward. They walk through the paddy field and stop when they reach nearby the house. Then, Glen gave number two signs with his right hand.

Aziel, who doesn't know the meaning behind it, just stays still while Glen and Keira already go toward the front door of the house. He wants to follow them but is blocked by Navir.

"What are you doing? Stick to our plan.." Navir whispered to Aziel.

Aziel, who is still confused, just follow Navir's order and sit with him there.

A minute later,

"Let's go.." Navir said to Aziel as he walked toward the back door of the house quietly on his tiptoe.

The house is built of grey stone walls with uneven surfaces. The roof consists of heavily overlapped tree fronds. when viewed from the outside. The square house is very small with an area of only about ​​20 feet wide and long. Now, Aziel and Navir are standing beside the house's back door.

“Oi, what should I do? Why do we act like we are thieves?” Aziel asked.

Hiding around the house, keeping quiet while doing it and surrounding the house from front to back, is just what a thief would do in Aziel's mind. He follows them without knowing their objective and still wonders about it until now. Every time he asks, his friend just says it is part of their work.

“Shh..just do it like you always do..” Navir said and suddenly started counting, “One.. two... three..now!”

“Bang!!!” Right after he shouted ‘now’ Navir started to smash the door with his hand making loud noises from the impact. The door broke right in the middle of it but still not open. Navir took his hand off from the door. It leaves a hole as big as Navir's hand in the middle of it where Navir lands his punch.

Aziel was shocked after seeing what just happened, “Wh-what are you doing?”

“That’s their sign..” Navir said.

“Huh? What sign?” Aziel asked.

"Tap! Tap! Tap! Aziel can hear footsteps from inside the house.

" Someone is coming…" Aziel said.

"Banggg!!!" An even louder sound of a door being blasted can be heard by them.

"What's happening here?" Aziel, who was shocked by the blasting sound, covers his ears.

“AHHHHHH!” a voice of a grown woman screamed from inside the house filled Aziel and Navir hearing.

“Now, that’s our sign to shine! Let’s get the job done!” Navir said while placing himself in front of the door.

"Bang!" Navir kicks the door so it can open for them to enter. Without waiting for Aziel, Navir rushed into the house. Aziel without thinking too much also entered the house.

To his surprise..blood with concentrated red colour already spills everywhere in the house. Flows like a small river on the ground, splashes like a tiny round spot on the wall. The smell of blood fills the space of the small house. Aziel eyes focusing on two bodies lying on the ground. The body where the source of the blood comes from.

One is a grown-up woman with long dark brown hair and in her embrace is a girl with the same hair colour that is probably her beloved child. Standing beside the unmoving two humans is Keira with a bloodstream down his left hand while Glen is just sitting on the chair in the house like a boss watching his subordinate doing the dirty job.

It takes Aziel a while to realize an old-looking bald man is leaning himself on the wall while cornered by Navir that set foot into the house before him. Navir lifts his right foot and places his brown shoe soles into the man's face. The man becomes numb sitting there like a hopeless prey.

Aziel’s body becomes motionless witnessing the atrocious scene right before his eyes without a single word come from his mouth.
