Book of Mirrors I: The Celestials LXVIII
New York (July 2019) "The last of them have retreated. The field is clear and the wards are down, now too. W" A man entered the room silently, Alice barely noticed. He looked worse for wear, but there was a small smile on his face. "You're Stefano, right? The head of the New York werewolf clan. I can't thank you enough for helping us." Alice said, pausing in her efforts to examine Veronica's unconscious form. Stefano inclined his head, "I did it for my people. I have no interest in your battles. But if I might say, it seems like you have very little concern for your comrades. Leading them into battle like that to save your own skin. Don't you think that was too much?" Alice opened her mouth to answer, but no sound came out. He was right, of course. She was scared. When she regained Liv and the others, she became so desperate for escape. But to be fair, she didn't expect Asmodeus to arrive and make a mess of things. "Haneul and the others. What of them?" Alice could only ask.
Book of Mirrors I: The Celestials LXIX
New York (July 2019) Haneul was worried sick about Tina, but he had to face Akira and the Mirror Divison, as well as the consequences of his action. He was worried about LJ, too, who was wounded in the battle. This is not to mention the souls that they lost because of the battle. It was not surprising that Akira was at his limits when it comes to his frustration about the whole thing. Getting a verbal beating from his superiors probably shouldn't happen in the dining room of the New York werewolf clan, and he could tell his fellow angels were uneasy about it too, but Akira was on a roll. "I was willing to hear you out and try to understand your actions, Haneul. But escaping from your imprisonment, your chance to answer for your crimes, hiding the existence of your twin flame, and now, endangering several of your comrades in order to fight a battle that could have been avoided. It's like I don't even know you anymore." Akira was saying calmly, but his anger and disappointment were

New York (July 2019) Haneul knew angels weren't supposed to mourn, as they were beings that knew full well how the universe worked. For them, it wasn't a permanent goodbye as the departed soul merely merges with the Macroverse, to be awakened again when the Court of Angels deemed it so after a thousand years or so. And even if Haneul, who was once dubbed by LJ as 'the most angelic of all angels', did mourn, it wouldn't be for her. Mikazuki. Everyone around her had been suspicious of her activities as a messenger angel who had questionable ties with the demonworld before she joined their squad in the Mirror division. But at the news of her death, Haneul couldn't help but feel grief. Amara was right, after all. His actions led to her demise. "Monique. That horrible, envious bitch. She captured her when we raided Poseidon's lair to save Javi. I thought she'd be safe, Monique and her seemed to have some sort of understanding. I thought I'd have time to arrange something with Monique, t

The 6th Dimension (The Demon Thrones)Appearance-wise, she looked nothing less and nothing more than Tina. Spending her time with Veronica and Alice, Tina had gotten used to it. Gotten used to seeing other people wear her face. But seeing Lilith was different. She was the original, and her essence screamed of blood and agony. Tina felt like vomiting from all the bitterness that her presence drew from her. It didn't help that Monique and Asmodeus were by Lilith's side, looking very much like kids who had sought help from a bully bigger than them because they couldn't intimidate their intended victim. "Lilith," Lucifer said, his voice tight, "I didn't know you had awakened." Subtly, he tried to move Tina behind him, possibly trying to get Lilith's attention away from her. But the archdemoness wasn't paying him any mind, her eyes narrowed towards her daughter, displeased. "Christina. What are you doing, just standing there? Come to Mother, dear." Lilith's voice was soft, almost etherea

New York (July 2019)His injury was more severe than it looked, so he was left behind. His squad has gone to Hell without him to rescue Tina while Alice took off somewhere LJ didn't know, muttering about a chance to reverse something. He figured it had something to do with Veronica, but he could not be certain. LJ couldn't even bring himself to think what it would mean to him if Alice could somehow find a way to stop Veronica from becoming human, or if she'd failed. As if stirred by his presence, Veronica awoke from her slumber, her lashes fluttering weakly as she opened her eyes, "Latte?" she whispered. She looked slack, so unlike the woman who almost sucked out his soul the first time they met, and every bit the girl who had clung to him when they were in Hell. "Your head...are you alright?" she tried weakly to touch his bandaged head with her right hand, but it didn't quite reach. LJ gave her a small smile, "I believe you already asked me that." he told her gently, catching her h

New York, USA (July 2019) A surge of power erupted from both Lucifer and Lilith upon Poseidon's arrival, and before Haneul could react, their entire squad had resurfaced. Without Tina. His heart dropped at the realization. And Minho, who had quickly realized it, too, was already at Lucifer's throat. "Where did she take her?! You better talk now, Lucifer, or I swear to the Macroverse---" Lucifer just blinked at him in response, unfazed, "I've always found that phrase funny, 'I swear to God.', as if he ever--" Minho pulled a fist back, ready to punch the Prince back to the Hell where he belonged, but Akira stepped in, wedging himself between the two men. "Control yourself and look around you, Minho. Tina is safely back with us." Haneul spun around. It was true. Tina was standing in their midst, in one piece, albeit a bit disoriented from what can be seen on her face. But once again, Minho was faster than him. He had already wrapped Tina in his arms. Haneul tried for his heart to not

New York, USA (July 2019)His hand shook slightly as he knocked on his door, but as soon as he saw her face, the fear subsided. It always did, whenever he saw her safe and sound, smiling at him like that. "LJ had just woken up and Alice had arrived. Veronica....well, hers is a complicated situation that we need to discuss with the others. We are all leaving for the Third Sphere in a few minutes. I hope you got some rest." Haneul told Tina."Right..." Tina said in a hesitant tone. "Tina, is something wrong?" "N-nothing. I just..." she replied, "I have a bad feeling about the trial. What if they don't understand? What if we get banished or worse, killed for our sins?" Haneul frowned at her, confused, "Tina, where is this coming from? You're talking about Heaven. Yes, we have our trespasses, and we need to pay for it. But as Akira said, he is confident that we will be pardoned, and his instincts are never wrong." "Then why haven't you consulted him in the first place? You acted on y

The 7th Dimension (The Third Angelic Sphere)"I still don't understand what you and Minho see in here. Do you see the way she treats all of us?" Amara said, sinking back into her seat in frustration. "Tina's been through so much, Amara." was all Haneul could say. In truth, he couldn't bring himself to defend Tina lately. She had always been straightforward due to her upbringing, but he couldn't help feeling a change in her since she was alone with Lilith back in Hell. Then there was that alarming conversation that he had with her before they ventured into Heaven. Maybe Amara was right, they could've fallen into a trap. "Why--" Javi was interrupted by the blares of the Sphere's alarm system. For a moment, Haneul didn't recognize the sound. The thing had been freshly installed. Heavily influenced by the human's concept of a public warning against disasters of some kind, angels had no need for it. They could communicate with each other psychically anyway. But at the time, he could see
