“I’m a ghost hunter and paranormal crime solver!”
Aisling blinked, “Really?” She asked and saw the girl cringed and looked nervous.
“Um…that’s not what I met!” The blond girl said quickly. “Um…,”she said scratching her head nervously. “How should I say this…?” She mumbled to herself.
Aisling watched her fidget and wondered if this girl was a real ghost hunter. Sometimes she meets real ghost hunters like Emiko who were serious bout their work and then there’s the con artists who are only after money. This girl didn’t seem like a con artist, a real con artist wouldn’t just blurt out their profession to a total stranger like that. They would want to gain the victims trust first before they try to swindle them.
After a moment, Aisling shrugged her shoulders and said, “So am I.”
The blond girl blinked at her, “What?”
“I’m a ghost hunter too.”
“Really?!” She said amazed. “That’s cool! I’m Sephira by the way…wait how do I know you’re not a con artist?”
Aisling almost laughed at being question of the same thing she and considered the girl to be. “Well I can’t really prove it…” Aisling saw the familiar flashing lights in the sky. She looked up and saw it was what she had believed to be an angel. “Do you see that?” Aisling pointed up at the shiny being.
Sephira looked up and her eyes widen in surprise. “That’s not a ghost…” She blinked and looked at Aisling. “You saw that too?”
“I did point it out.”
“Oh,” She said and smiled. “So you’re a real ghost seer huh? Cool I don’t usually meet many ghost seers.”
“Same here…well actually more seem to be popping up lately,” Aisling said. “You can come to my place or I can buy you something to eat if you think coming to my house would be inconvenient.”
Sephira said nothing as she considered it and nodded. “I think it would be inconvenient, I don’t think your folks would like it if you invite a stranger you just met to your house.” She said and gave a short laugh.
Aisling thought her parents wouldn’t mind as they were completely fine with Mari and Kaki staying at their house. But Aisling sort of knew Mari longer, (well they became friends over night).
They went to a fast food restaurant that was close by. Aisling bought Sephira hamburgers and fries. Sephira was gratefully but promised that she would pay Aisling back. While Sephira ate her hamburger, Aisling would stare up at the sky. She expected to see another angel again. She didn’t know why she was seeing them maybe because of her angel powers awakening she was noticing them.
As she stared up at the sky she felt the familiar pulling and she felt an urge to fly up into the sky. Aisling remembered what her grandmother said about her soul yearning to ascend to Heaven and leave her body behind. She squeezed her hands hard and felt her nails digging into her palms.
“Hey are you okay?” Aisling jumped and looked at Sephira who looked at her with concern.
Aisling took a deep breath and said, “I’m okay.”
The fact that her soul was desperately fighting against its bind to her body and ascending to Heaven finally hit her and it really scared her. To her it felt like she was dying. When she got home she hoped to talk to her grandmother about it.

Áine stood at the small balcony and stared up at the sky. Her arms were crossed over her chest and she had a deep frown plastered on her old face.
Her sharp green eyes caught something shiny in the sky. She stared at the direction that grabbed her attention and released it was an angel.
“Finally a messenger,” Áine murmured to herself.
The messengers were around the same rank as a Guardian Angel like Áine. They were also know as Watchers as they spied on humans and if they were careful and lucky; demons. The angle flew over towards Áine and hovered a few feet from her.
“Do you have anything important I should know?” She asked him in a language that angels had used since the beginning of their existence. The language could only be spoken by angels; to humans it sounded like they were singing in an ancient language and to demons it sounded like nails on chalk board.
The messenger raised his hand and brought his index finger to Áine’s forehead. She closed her eyes and focused on the visions being played in her mind.
The visions were of Ryuu fighting the shaman. Sho Sakurai and Emiko pleading Ryuu to stop, what the shaman spoke in the vision caught Áine’s full attention.
“He’s a full moratorium now…”
The vision ended after the demon Ryoen’s and Ryuu left. Áine opened her eyes and they were shocked but quickly harden.
“Yes this changes things…” Áine murmured. She looked at the messenger. “Thank you. Please report this to the Seraph Court immediately.”
The messenger nodded. He swiftly and gracefully flew away.
Áine sighed and rubbed her forehead wearily, “Work comes first.” She said and went back inside the house.

I hope I got Sephira right ^^’
Ah-oh! Áine knows about Ryuu that could most likely be trouble! :O
And then the other angels are going to know unless someone stops the messenger. XD
