Ling Yue POV

"So she was the little girl's sister." (Ling Yue)

I looked at the twin moons in the sky then laugh at myself. My own general dared to betray me and kidnapped Jenna. Whom I promised to myself I'd protect her. Why did I ever trust such people? First was my father then now this. It's a good thing I never developed trust issues but where did Yami even go. That girl is odd in itself, though seems like I found the house of the Usalra family by accident. While on the run from a yandere assassin ex coworker whom I will not name at the moment.

Which reminds me they're nothing like the gullible yet upright Hina Relista. She carried over her name from when she was a human. Actually that also makes me remember how messed up her princess life was. Her older sister was only 9 or around 10 years old when she died from an assassination attempt that was supposed to be for their father. So Hima ended up as an angel, but she then got annoyed due to the god in that place that humans call heaven was just him being desperate to live.

Right it was also around that time that I developed my unique skill. It allows me to see, experience and control a person or I can also use it to gather information on people's lives. Those three sisters were my actual first try. Hima, the demon (this is after she turned into a fallen angel first then demon. During her sister's teenage years as a human) who was righteous yet she took her job seriously and punished the corrupt who were among the living. She also lived in the normal hell that used its reputation to clean up the rot of other races known as corruption along with her colleagues.

Setsuna who had a strong sisterly love towards the two idiots and her only wish was to stick together. I smiled bitterly as I sat down in this storehouse that I crashed into. Why did I remember those three again, it's because Niana now has a engagement with Blade.

"Yet why do I feel tears upon remembering those three.”

I don't feel sad but I feel as if I lost something important. Which also reminded me I could also use my unique skill on Selena but then I remember I don't exactly want to. Not after what she did in the crazed witches garden. Her excuse was she came to rescue me. Long story short I threw up after Yami had to come be down from the scene. She (Selena) used herself as a sacrificial pawn to summon a higher demon from the hell circles (survival of the fittest the higher circle you go). Yea not exactly the best way to see her there when they (witches) also do those insane rituals. It's also the second to the last place I want to end up. I will not explain that jinx of a place we call the dream plane. It's creatures and monsters there can permanently damage your soul. Last time I did so ended up with me feeling murky and disgusted for a few years.

Why do I know these places, it's not like I wanted to know either of them. It's more forced circumstances by my so called father. I scoff to myself, he doesn't he count as a father considering what he's done to me and mother. A knock came on the door as I heard a shuffling of clothes. I didn't really say much she slid the wooden door open already. At least she distracted me from thinking more disturbing thoughts about that scary lower world. That reminds me the unique skill of mine I used on someone that had something similar happen to them. I felt murky when I came to in my body and disgusting from the left over feelings.

"I brought you some clothes, food and something to drink. Oh and don't forget the herbal medicine to smear on your wounds." (Hitomi)

Her words made me frown at her, my wounds can heal fine on their own. But when I looked down I realized why she's blushing. Not that I care, yep the black clothes I had on is now in rags. Though my mask was destroyed in the process of escaping. I nearly forgot I have to thank Yami for saving me twice. Without another word I looked down at the cut on the side of my left rib. This one doesn't seem to be healing, which in itself is odd. Demons and goddesses have auto regeneration yet why is it that my wound isn't closing.

Without saying another word she gently rubbed the medicine into me. Her bright kind smile stunned me. It made me remember Niana who fell for Blade at first sight when I was guarding him at his side. She thought he was me though I wore my fox mask.

"I have no need for pity from you." (Ling Yue)

"I'm not trying to do anything but treat an injured patient."

"Look I'm absolutely fine."

She hit me on the head as I tried to stand up. Well I did stagger for a bit but it wasn't that bad. Hitomi pushed me to sit back down as she rubbed the medicine onto my wound. It stings the way she's rubbing it in with that annoyed look.

"Stay still while I treat you.”

"Ouch hey can't you rub it softer and more gentle."

"Says the wolf demon that's trying to wriggle out of being treated. No worries I'm very good at bandaging due to my sisters." (Hitomi)

"Is that so."

"They come back from practice with mother banged up badly or when they get involved in some of the angel's wars it gets kinda out of hand." (Hitomi)

"Yet you’re stuck here."

She gave me a bitter smile as if to say it's useless even if I tried. Her being like this reminded me of a caged canary. Hey I wasn’t trying to cause you any sadness by asking just curious that’s all.

"Do you know what I love the most. The twin green moons in the sky in the night time. The water and the cooling breeze of the wind that blows through." (Hitomi)

Oh right that’s how everyone else sees it. Yep the goddesses and gods sees it as blue though. Maybe it’s just us.

"Then you must really love the night." (Ling Yue)

"Yes I do. Though I envy my sister who is now engaged to the guy she loves." (Hitomi)

"Though he's a jerk, scum and playboy." (Ling Yue)

"Did you say something."

I'm glad she didn't hear those words though. Actually her sister didn't listen to my warning either when she asked her mother to propose the engagement. I did at least warn Niana's mother. Yes it was 2 days after I was on the run from that person.

"Do you know what my sister's name means in angelic tongue."

"Everlasting Love." (Ling Yue)

Though a pity she picked the wrong guy for that to be with. He did turn the tables on me thinking I was working for uncle so he couldn't get the Netherworld to be his. I can't really do much since I'm also ruling the land of the dead. But uncle could rule instead of that man. Scum like him can't be called a brother, he has no clue I even exist as a sister. Yet the thing is father had announced their engagement not too long ago after I was on the run.

"Yes mother named her that for our later father. They both hoped that she'd have a good life after she left the house." (Hitomi)

I scoffed at her as I put on the kimono, which was white with black butterflies on it. Not that I'd be complaining. But one thing is confusing me, what's this girl's original hair color.

"Ah your staring at my hair so intensely. Yes it's black in the day time like my father's but for some reason when night comes it changes to a beautiful sky green like mother's hair."

Then it all clicked to me why she was so sickly. If her hair color couldn't decide things, her body being unable to fly. Her being unable to walk or do what an average person does can only mean one thing.

"Your soul and power is too much of a strain on your current body. That's why no one could find a cure. Also it’s a first time a new soul is burdened like this. With their body that is. Well in most angels cases it’s thee more powerful your soul the more pairs of wings you have." (Ling Yue)

Hitomi blinked at me confused as to why I even knew this. Though I might not mention this to her but those who have 6 pairs of wings and up are actually hunted down. As for why they’re labeled as world catastrophe class plus they don’t listen to a god or goddess either. Most gods and goddesses fear them since they themselves know that these angels can easily kill them. So why wouldn’t they label them as a kill on sight in this world we live in today. Though I’m sure Setsuna who hid her wings until they used her two sisters to kill each other was the only one whom I knew personally. Never did count her wings though all I know was it was a bit more than 12.

"I'm the ruler of the land of the dead. If I can't even see things from a soul I'd be stupid to even rule over the dead."

"Wait does that mean if I put my soul into another body I'd be fine."

"Yes it would but the only methods are the forbidden arte: Body swapping which has a price to pay, reincarnation which you probably won't remember a thing unless you use a special method, a spell to switch you out of your body for a new one. But as you can see these all have a different price to pay which would end up killing your current body." (Ling Yue)

"I'm fine as I currently am. But you have to promise me you'll help me out later on anything I say since I helped you."

Says the one that so easily stripped me of my armor without me noticing before she left. Though her sky green hair stunned me. But why is it that Niana's hair was silver.

"Oh the food is getting cold, I have no idea what you demons eat so I grabbed some roasted duck, grilled chicken with rice, crispy chicken sandwich with a very sweet sauce to go with it and the drink is a Glevia tea. This tea has been used and served in our family for generations since Hina's time."

I gave a wry smile when I heard the last one. It made me sad in itself, it reminded me of Setsuna who was sealed by the devil that she killed.

"Do you know the history of this tea." (Ling Yue)

"Uh.... no."

"This tea dates back to the true angel demon 1st war. A long lost history from the generations. A tale of three sisters, the eldest Hima was a angel whom fell of her choice due to her self- righteousness. She couldn't stand how the god used her for his own self-protection. Her wings were 4 wings in total before her fall and afterwards she became a demon. One whom punished the evil amongst all races along with her fellow colleagues.

Hina, the former human princess had a tragic past. The brothercon was betrayed by him for his lover (boyfriend). But the thing was Hina didn't become a ruler for long before she was killed by her own brother. Love can do lots of things but it led her kingdom to tragedy. Her new life after that was as a angel though she was used as a baby factory due to not having enough angels. The 1st generations had died off in a war against Hima and the demons from hell (normal).

During this event a sad thing happened in their home kingdom. Setsuna their youngest sister loved her sisters dearly. So she caused a war with her best friend's kingdom for her own death. This war awakened two lineage in her. The Destruction Phoenix and the life dragon. Not many know this fact but the Phoenixes. They are after all historians since they love history. Destruction Phoenix is the ancestor of the Phoenixes. The destruction Phoenix now are a soul race. Due to a extermination their race casted a spell sending their lineage to the future. To unlock it you have to experience a tragedy of losing your loved ones.

This race has eidetic memories, access to the soul system (can choose where they reincarnate), they can also reincarnate with memories intact as well as inherit all their past life powers. This last part is still the same for all royal (pure) Phoenixes. But that only made things worst for her. The more powerful your soul as you reincarnate as a angel the more wings you have. She had 6 pairs of wings. 12 or more wings are hunted down for fear of world destruction. That's how powerful she was so she sealed her wings only showing off 6 wings.

Then a tragic end happened, her sisters were used as pawns by the god and the devil. So the first thing she did after their death was kill the ruling god. After that she killed the devil, but not before his dying breath which he used to seal her into the future of someone's body. As for where she is now, no one knows." (Ling Yue)

Hitomi sat there stunned as I drank the tea. It reminded me much of Setsuna, she'd do anything for her sisters. It was also why I never saw her participate in any wars though the so called god ordered her. A sigh escaped me as I reminisced of that sad past. She was the friend I befriended out of the three sisters. The rational Setsuna who hated many people of that time. With our mixed era and the grass plains filled with monsters she'd do one thing for those pitiful people who ran into their by accident.

"She hated slavery and those that forced those that accidentally left their cities, villages, or towns. Rather she'd slaughter those she saw trying to force those idiots. A strong yet gentle woman who thought of everyone but herself. Her only happiness was her sisters." (Ling Yue)

"Why do you sound like you knew them."

"I'm 1401 years old. I was from a age before them." (Ling Yue)

"Wait then why do you look like your only 14 or 15 years old." (Hitomi)

"I'm a half goddess."

She seems to have left in shock. Well she did help bandage me up but the tea she brought me also gave me a nostalgic sadness. An old friend indeed, lost over the centuries. I have a feeling I'll meet her yet again. The tea still tastes the same but I prefer when Setsuna makes it. It always turns out a bit bitter yet sweet at the same time. Though I have to thank the girl for distracting me from disturbing thoughts about those two unpleasant places.

"Seems wherever I go there's always something to remind me of you Setsuna. Well aside from the memory crystal (a magical crystal that leaves a holographic imprint of history that makes you relive a certain event from history personally as if you were there yourself) left on the war zone that recorded all the past events of you sisters. It's a good thing I didn't find or touch a memory gem. (This item is similar to the memory crystal. Only it allows you to experience that said person's life. This gem can also leave you with said personality change due to experiencing the events in that said person's life.) If it were Hina, dear god I don't even want to think of it." (Ling Yue)

(trans to last sentence: that'd be just awful to experience, she spent her life being used I want nothing to do with that kinda person.)

Ugh my current situation is the worst: my first love being engaged to my horrible half-brother, my commanding general betraying me, and Jenna captured. Worst of all my father is trying to kill me. But then again he's disappointed me so many times. Losing some friends here and there isn't so bad. I mean most of my old enemies are dead. Though this really is uncalled for since I didn’t expect to become this sentimental when remembering their ancestors. The three sisters. Hima the justice demon knight, Hina the executioner, and Setsuna the law breaker. That last one was amusing in its own way. She was an angel yet she went about breaking every rule they had in the heavens of those gods who ruled there.

I wonder back then why didn’t she just go live with the demons from the other hell. Helping Hima bring justice but she was an odd one for those sisters. When she was ordered to slaughter she went about and helped people like a saintess would but she was neither one since she herself had a grudge against all slave traders. As for why she never did tell me why she killed them every time she saw one in sight. Oh damn it all I’m getting nostalgic from seeing Hina’s direct line of descendants. Wait her nick name is mother of all angels thanks to that fool. Well she did give birth to the 2nd generation of angels. Not that the current ones are even from her direct line. The pure angels in this house gives off a more pure vibe like her bloodline so it surprises me even now.

One of her kid was a half demon half angel due to a mix up. Hina’s lover was a former general from the other army. This being the case I don’t know which child these guys and girls are from. No kidding I have a major headache since they’re purebloods. Or for short we call pure angel. Though humans who misunderstood thinks we’re referring to their purity of not having a you know what with the opposite gender. Which is wrong in its own case. My eyes blinked as I stared at the twin moons that now look the color like how the girl mentioned earlier.

Making me shocked yet blink as I saw three shooting stars fall. That’s a ill omen for me. Right I never explained why I’m troubled by it, as a goddess we’re taught this at a young age. Here in our world a star falling can mean two things either a angel turn into a fallen or a goddess has fallen from grace. If it’s the latter one it would mean trouble for me later on. The cleaning up process for a fallen god or goddess is always a mess. As for the fallen angel thing its mostly because the god or goddess abuses their angel whom works other them. In most cases its similar to master's case.
