Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

Hearing Uriel's words, suddenly, everything became clear in Raphael's mind. "Wait, this was all a part of your plan…"

"You asked me to deliver the message instead of you so that you have more reasons to banish that planet… but why? Were you jealous of that girl?" Raphael was confused that she was no longer upset. 

...

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!", After moments of silence, Raphael suddenly burst out laughing like a maniac.

"Do you really think that I care for that girl?" Raphael's eyes were ice cold and almost as sadistic, unlike what one would think of an angel. 

But then again, she was no normal angel, she was one of the angels of judgement. "Don't kid yourself! I was the one to discuss with Michael and Gabriel the fate of that miserable planet.

"You know more than anyone that I've lived two lives there, in two cycles. You've made me live as an orphan with no one to take care of me, and you know what? I was sold as a slave and raped in those two lives! 

"I was treated as nothing but a tool, no, even worse. Unlike a tool, they kept using me even after breaking! 

"Why would I ever want to spare such a disgusting planet?" Raphael's voice was loud as she was seething with anger at the mortals who treated her like nothing more than trash. 

"Oh, and since you don't know… now that the other two have just returned from their cycles and they need some rest, I'll be the one to destroy that planet. Watch me crush everyone there with my own hands!" 

Raphael's smile could be described by any term, but angelic. No, it looked more demonic, if anything.

"What is it?" She asked Uriel who was frozen in place. "You didn't expect that, did you? Tch!" Clicking her tongue, Raphael disappeared from her spot.

Not a second after her disappearance, Uriel dropped to the ground with tears in her eyes. "No… why did this happen? I was angry with that stupid crimson-purple haired girl! Why did I project my anger on the person I love the most…

"I didn't mean for you to suffer when I sent you there, Raphael, I only wanted the trials to be fair… the Supreme Deity would have punished both of us if our judgment was biased...

"I… I don't want you to hate me…" Uriel clenched her fists. "But it's alright… when that girl dies, I'll make sure she gets some special treatment. Also, I'll have the rest of eternity to get closer to you, my dear Raphael…" she smiled while cupping her face in a mix of sadism and sadness.

…

On the other of this strange space they were in, Raphael sat down with her back leaning against a tree, while holding her head in pain. Her hands were shaking.

"Everything I said was true," she muttered to herself. "I loathe that planet and its inhabitants… but why is my heart aching at the thought of destroying it? 

"I was the one to ask Michael for that myself… what's wrong with me?!" She could feel her heart racing and shaking hard, as if wanting to escape her ribcage.

"Why?? Why do I feel so sick all of a sudden? I am one of the Seraphim, I can't get sick or ill… why is my chest hurting?" She could feel herself panting for air even though her body didn't depend on it to function.

"Is it because of that girl? Am I regretting my choices? But it was either me, or the others…" she could feel tears running down her eyes. "If she had to die… I'd rather be the one…

"Yes… when Silver fails, because I know he will.. I will be the one to end her, R- Raven…" just as she said that, she could feel immeasurable pain, even more than before, assault her heart as she remembered every second they spent together as Maya.

Every moment of torture, they spent together. She was always trying to make her feel better, she was always there to protect her, she was always there for her…

"No, that's not true," Raphael forced herself to say. "No, I died while she was on a vacation… she deserves my anger, my hatred… by why? Why does the pain persist the more I think about her…"

"Lady Raven, are you alright?" Abbadon asked while kneeling near Raven with her hollow tearful eyes. She shook her head slowly as in response.

"Please… bring Maya back…" Raven clutched onto Abbadon's garment while letting her tears run free. 

Realising how desperate his mistress was, and how useless he was to her right now, Abbadon could not help but clutch his fists in anger.

Moments passed before he remembered that Maria would most likely be able to help his mistress.

Noticing him getting up from his spot, Raven forced Abbadon down. "Where are you going?" She asked, her voice cracking.

"I was thinking that Lady Maria would be able to-"

"No!" Raven simply said, her face getting serious and almost angry. "This stays between us, do you understand?"

Surprised as he was, Abbadon nodded his head obediently. 

Raven who seemed to have suddenly woken up from her state, stood up slowly while clenching her fists. 'Someone must have Maya hostage… or maybe she's being threatened? Who the f*CK would dare threaten my Maya?' her aura flared around her as these thoughts went through her mind.

Kayla didn't know what to say so she kept quiet. 

Gaia, on the other hand, has heard before about rumours narrating some tales of the Four Seraphim of the End… 'This is not good, what task would they have for Silver to accomplish here?' she thought to herself in horror. 

"My mistress," Abbadon said, "I can sense a strong presence getting closer to us, would you like me to interfere?"

"Uhm," Raven simply nodded before going back into her serious, almost frightening, expression.

Leaving his mistress to her thoughts, Abbadon disappeared from the room they were in and intercepted the ghostly clown, just outside of the city.
