《Devil in My Heart》Heaven
Advertisement
After Prince Claes died, he appeared in his golden palace. "It has been a long time since I came down to the human world and now, I'm back. It's like waking up from a long dream. I've been through a lot of things, sadness, struggle, and love."
It was time for the great meeting of the gods which was attended by the gods from all levels of heaven. The god Aquila and the god Cygnus also attended the meeting.
The god Cygnus then reported to His Majesty the Emperor on his arrival.
"My respects to Your Highness."
"You have accomplished your mission well, god Cygnus."
"This wouldn't have happened without the cooperation of the other friends including the gods Aquila and Kiran."
"Gods Aquila and Kiran please come forward." Said one of the gods.
"Our respects to Your Highness."
"You have worked well together. Now your power and fame are increasing because of your services." Says His Majesty the Emperor.
"Thank you for the generosity of Your Majesty." Said the three gods.
"Aquila, welcome back to heaven." Greetings from His Majesty.
"Forgive me for my impudence the other day for having joined the fight with another god."
"What has passed, let it pass. If you have realized your mistake, it is the first step towards goodness."
"Thank you for Your Majesty's mercy." Answered Aquila.
"After this, the earth returned to peace and the world order became balanced thanks to the great merits of these three gods as well as the asuras and humans on earth." Said His Majesty the Emperor.
After the meeting ended, the gods Cygnus, Aquila, and Kiran were talking to each other. Even though they had won the battle, they were sad to part with Ryana.

Kiran opened the conversation, "It feels like something is missing. It's lonely without her."
"It turns out she is the goddess Lyra that we met in heaven in the past and we have to part with her again," Cygnus said.
Aquila simply replied, "Yes."
"Separation is a natural thing. And she's the one who taught me not to cling. I am grateful to be able to meet her again," continued Kiran.
They nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll go first." Said Kiran who returned to his residence.
The rest of the two of them.
"Aquila, welcome back to heaven." Cygnus greeted with a smile.
"Cygnus... Sorry for my foolishness in the past. I don't appreciate our friendship."
"As His Majesty the Emperor said. What happened in the past, let it pass. So, let's start a new day." Cygnus cheerfully smiled as he touched Aquila's chest with his fist.
"Yes," Aquila replied with a smile too and a fist that touched Cygnus' chest.
"Aquila..." Cygnus called.
"Yes?"
"Even though I love Lyra, I know that her love is for you," Cygnus said with relief.
Aquila flinched at what he heard.
"I hope to see her again," Cygnus said.
"Yes, you're right. I wish we could see her again."

Three days later after the fight with Tyrone.
Lucien cried and stated that he really loved Ryana from the bottom of his heart.
Rays of light came out from behind the clouds as if signaling the beginning of a new bright life and the end of the battle. Instantly, a light appeared to surround Lucien as if it were sunlight that was originally wrapped in clouds, but slowly the clouds that covered the sun were dispelled and the sun showed its full light. The same as Lucien, a soft light enveloped his entire being and expanded, the clouds in the sky formed a wide circle due to the powerful light from Lucien that penetrated the sky.

It was because true love that was truly sincere in the depths of his heart broke the shackles of hatred towards the world so that he was reborn as a high-level god. Ryana watched this beautiful sight while smiling in relief touching his cheek with her left hand and said, "You have succeeded, Lucien or as Aquila. Bring peace and warmth in this world."
The sky was clear with dazzling wide clouds.

After the fight ended, Aquila descended into the human world and visited the shrine. He rang the bell, "Tring.... Tring..."
A disciple came to greet him. Aquila said he wanted to meet the Master. Then the person who came was the disciple who had taken care of him.
"Lucien?" said the disciple.
"Yes. Where's the Master?" Aquila asked.
"He has passed away and now I am the head of the shrine here. There is only the nameplate on the altar in memory of the Master."
Aquila was walking around the shrine. He arrived at a tree with its leaves turning yellow because it was autumn in the human world. The disciple said, "I found you lying here before." Then Aquila touched the trunk and looked at it. Not only the place where he first met, but this was the tree where he usually spent his time meditating. So, he appreciated the tree from his heart. He also saw that the leaves had turned yellow, a sign that they would soon fall. "The seasons come and go. There is death and there is birth for beings who are still bound by time," he muttered. "But my Master has been liberated from the cycle of birth and death."
After that, Aquila thanked to this disciple for taking care of himself in the past. Then he flew away from the shrine. Another disciple said, "Who is he, master? His face looks bright and full of self-control."
"He is a god." He watched Aquila leave with sparkling eyes and smiled until Aquila was out of sight.
********
At the Aquila residence, he thought of Cygnus' words. "Even though I love Lyra, I know that her love is for you."
In the morning when the sky is rosy in color, Aquila is walking in the heavenly garden.
"There is a new god..." said the goddess to her friends who saw Aquila's charm.
"I heard that he did a great job in protecting the human world."
"I want to be close to him."
After he became a god, many beautiful goddesses approached him, but he was not interested in any of them. However, he is friendly, warm, and humble towards them so that they also respect and want to be closer to him. But Aquila remained faithful and waited for Ryana, even though that hope seemed empty. Aquila had searched for Ryana's whereabouts, but he couldn't find her.
"Actually, where is Ryana? Where is she reborn?" thought Aquila.
A few days later after the battle, Ryana died due to being unable to accommodate the incredible power through her human body.

Almost a Good Person
A memory, a memory of a boy who wanted more than pain, of a girl who wanted more than death, and an Isle that should not exist. The Isle of Red is a small, unassuming, quiet place. It is just large enough for a college, a small town, and maybe even a few more unusual sorts of places. Of course, the townsfolk practically know each other as family. Flush-faced regulars can be found toasting just about anything in the Briar's Brew, then, a few streets away, the same haggle of older women stationed themselves on their perch as they did every day from one of the few balconies in Central Square. They fuss away now, spouting the usual gossip as they watch us all from on high. Then there is the College here on the Isle of Red. My college. It has been often described as an unusual place by a good deal of people on the mainland. If they only would visit -why I am sure they'll soon have a change of heart, they may even come to find it a quaint sort of place, odd but in the same way a tattered old quilt can be both odd looking and warm, and especially soft. We teach mostly the same sort of disciplines here, with fantastic and absolutely normal professors.I must conclude that I am quite smitten with myself. The stage is set with a level of perfection that would have astonished me in my youth. They are coming. Derek will follow her. He knows the weight of reality too intimately, but she will be his true north if only for a short time. A beacon in the storm to show him the stunning pastels and brightness the sun may yet refract through his thinner, sharper pieces. Theoline will lead as she always has- well not always, not yet. She holds onto questions feverishly tight, that one. Lights them up inside like a new type of fuel without the slightest worry of being burned. She knows... There is but a certain few who can look at a map and find nothing where I stand but the Atlantic Ocean. And still, there is earth beneath me, a noisy pub down the road from me, and several people clucking conspiratorially on a balcony above me. She knows... that the Isle of Red doesn't belong here. Neither, technically, do I. (Hello! Chapters will be posted regularly on this website and also at Booksie: Almost a Good Person, book by KenjaminButton (booksie.com)Stay tuned for Chapter 3 to be uploaded on 5/28/2022!)
