[Rafiah's point of view]
"You have come" [Old follower B]
"I have..." [Rafiah]
"..." [old follower B]
Right now, Ash and Filvisar is still under treatment after the mysterious black miasma infecting them. That's not to said that their effort were fruitless, according to Princess Diana, a powerful holy mana actually came out of nowhere both from Ash and Ash's scythe just moment after Ash was struck with the miasma. She theorise that mana source were most likely from the soul inside Ash's scythe, or maybe, from a higher being. That could only mean...
With that mana severely impaired the functioning of the barrier that prevents this friend of mine as well as the Estel's leader of old follower, the royal court magician wasted no time to dispel the barrier. It proved difficult even after the barrier was weakened, but the court magician manage to do it with the help of Seraph and her highness herself, which is why right now, for the sake of those kids, I will
"So, what will you do. Will you torture me to get the answer, or will you let me know the truth" [Old follower B]
"The truth?" [Rafiah]
"Playing dumb aren't you... Saintess Angela mention something about a special witch she once take good care of. A witch who after escape, somehow travel with us before deciding to play house with few orphans and a traveler" [Old follower B]
"It could be anyone..." [Rafiah]
"You aren't denying it..." [Old follower B]
"I..." [Rafiah]
Saintess Angela did take care of me, even though she knew I am a witch, an angel and a demon, all at the same time. In fact, she's the one that gave me a special bracelet before I replaced it with the one Ash made when he was at Malsia.
"But that was all, nothing but a fake. She... she..." [Rafiah]

"She?" [Old follower B]
If Mrs Aries can say it. So do I. Plus, I need to make sure this friend of mine didn't get torture. Those kids are precious to me, but so is she.
"She tricked me..." [Rafiah]
"..." [Old follower B]
"Sorry... I can't say it" [Rafiah]
I don't want people to know who I actually am. Seraph and Ash might have suspected something, but I'm afraid. I'm afraid that I will have to depart and leave them should they know who I really am. I know they won't, but thing change, and so does people. I wanted to believe in them as they would believe in me, but... but...
"Rafiah?" [Old follower B]
Taking the bracelet with the effect of concealment out, my short black hair black eyes disguise wore off. Now, my original appearance appear before her, blonde hair with an ashen horns protuding from my temporal bone, with a wing of an angel on one side and the wing of demon on another side
"!" [Old follower B]
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
"Rafiah, what are you!" [Old follower B]
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
"Hey Rafiah! Snap out of it!" [Old follower B]
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
"Somebody help her! Rafiah snap out! Don't hurt yourself!" [Old follower B]
Control. Control myself. The war of succession of the demon kingdom, it's not my fault.
(I might be old, but I'll have one of my three son to claim you theirs. The power of Seraph, and the power of Iblis, it belong to the demon kingdom) [Previous demon king]
(A witch, with the power of Seraph and Iblis. How rare, in fact, one of a kind. Guess the rumour of previous Seraph just marrying anyone to strengthen his bloodline is true. Still, your power are nothing but a mess. Come with me and I...) [Saintess Angela]

The soul. The soul lost during the demon kingdom success war. I don't know whether they're real or not, but, they keep coming
(You kill us)
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
(Why are you still alive!)
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
(An Iblis. She's not a demon nor an angel! She's the devil herself! Go and die)
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry" [Rafiah]
(And a witch nonetheless. She's the reason all of us were killed)
"Sorry... Sorry... Sorry..." [Rafiah]
"Rafiah! Rafiah! Rafiah! Snap out of it!" [Old follower B]
"Move!" [Aries]

Sudden blackout. I feel a sting in my neck a bit, feel like I was being restraint after losing control of myself. This is no good... I still can't tell her anything. I wonder what happen to them.
"You're awake" [Yefefiah]
"Yefefiah..." [Rafiah]
She bring me some bread and a milk. She's currently helping Saint Louis and Seraph to treat Ash. I guess she must have been worried about me, and ask permission to take care of me instead.
"Thank you" [Rafiah]
"It's fine. By the way, your siblings will come here to see Ash and Filvisar condition. Why don't you see them. Maybe that will ease your mind a bit" [Yefefiah]
"I..." [Rafiah]
Should I? I'm afraid they will
"Come on now! Let's go!" [Yefefiah]
"Wait! Yefefiah!" [Rafiah]
She should have seen it! Or at least heard about it. My bracelet of concealment might be attached to me, presumably by Princess Diana since she knew about my identity as a witch, an angel and a demon. Even so, I'm sure the guard and other who saw me spread the rumour around, so why?
"There they are! Come! Let us go!" [Yefefiah]
Going to the treatment room together, we are greeted with the sight of Ash and Filvisar's treatment, when Lara and Nara suddenly approach Ash's scythe and cloth
"They're glowing! What happen?" [Yefefiah]
"Look, Lara and Nara, their clothing change!" [Rafiah]
"Isn't that... Like Brother Ash..." [Karon]
"It opposite of their hair colour. Both the scythe and the cloth" [Zerolith]
"Lara have almost the same black cloth and scythe like Brother Ash even though his hair is white, and Nara having whitish cloth and scythe even though her hair is black" [Kara]
"Linda, do you know what's happening?" [Diana]
"I can feel the god of death blessing inside of them, other than that..." [Linda]
"Please allow me to explain" [Rean]
So, that actually happen. Goddess Achalasia and God of Death blessed them with the power to help their siblings. It's strange, like all of them under a roof. Just what plan do the goddess have for them
(Not just them. The goddess must have her own plan to you as well) [?]
(!) [Rafiah]
(Don't be afraid. I am the holy beast of light Angkasa, and while I don't plan on giving my blessing to you nor the children just yet, she must have included you as well, otherwise you wouldn't be here with them) [Angkasa]
(Really?) [Rafiah]
Silent. There's no reply from the proclaimed holy beast of light. My role...
(If what she said was true, then my role is... at least for now is...) [Rafiah]
"Rafiah? Where are you going?" [Diana]
"Princess. Can you allow me to interrogate my friend once more? I'm begging you! I will succeed this time!" [Rafiah]
"Just what happen... (Why is she suddenly so determined?) Just make sure it doesn't happen again? I can't control others people mouth you know" [Diana]
"I will! Thank you so much!" [Rafiah]
(One of you, please follow her) [Diana]
(Yes, your highness) [Vampire guard C]
I don't think I can tell her what she want, but at least I can persuade her nonetheless. There are still many things that I am lacking, bit nonetheless, for now, I will support those children

Author here, just wanted to say that if the synopsis did not sound as exciting as I had hoped it would be, try reading the first 10 chapters? I promise it won't be terrible! :) Whoops, forgot to mention, prologues don't count as chapters! If you've read this far, I might as well tell you what I was inspired by! However, this does NOT mean my story will be similiar in any way to the novels/stories/books listed below. By 'inspiration,' I refer to mainly how the characterizations plot devices, dialogue, conflict introduction/resolution, and thought processes are used and introduced in those works of literature.
