Havana, Cuba (June 1966) "Ronnie! Stop it!" Alice shouted, pushing Veronica away from LJ a millisecond after materializing between the two. Haneul appeared beside her, shooting a murderous glare at Veronica before dashing towards LJ's dazed form.  "Oh, come on!" Veronica whined, straightening herself up. "Latte and I were just having fun." She blew on her bangs, clearly bummed at the interruption.  "I specifically told you not to mess with them." Alice glared at Veronica. She kissed LJ's forehead, and the latter closed his eyes, his turbulent soul calming down from the contact. Haneul and Veronica watched in wonder at what transpired.  "He'll be fine when he comes to," Alice said softly, realizing what she had just revealed to H

Seoul, South Korea (June 2019) Tina went to the mall with the full intention of relieving her stress--and that meant shopping until she dropped. Nobody could blame her. She almost got attacked. Again. And sure, a good-looking angel saved her. But she would be the stupidest person to trust a stranger. After he made her promise to stay put as if she were a child, Tina knew she had to get away.  It turned out she made the right decision. She wouldn't have bumped into Haneul otherwise.  Speaking of, he looked ridiculous. Haneul was maneuvering himself awkwardly, trying to fit his broad frame and the bundle of shopping bags in his arms into the entryway. His shoulder even hit the hotel room door with an audible thud. But he didn't seem to notice. Behind him, some of the hotel staff came

7th dimension/The Third Angelic Sphere (Beyond Time) "How is he?" LJ rose from his seat, fingers twitching in agitation. The battle in Varanasi remained fresh in his mind. The carnage and the glaring thought that the tides of the never-ending war between angels and demons were moving faster than they ever were. From the damages they took, the angels were less than ready for it.  "He'll be alright." Keira, the healer angel who had just come out of Javi's room, spoke, "He wasn't hurt from the battle, actually. It was more..." she paused in uncertainty. "More what?" Keira shook her head, her thoughts unable to supply the mystery at hand, "I'm going to need more time to figure out what was wrong with him."  "Why? Is it that serious?" Minho asked from beside LJ.  "There's...I can't quite explain it. Javi's exhibiting some Nephilim characteristics." Keira reported. Minho and LJ glanced at each other. It made s

Seoul, South Korea (June 2019) Tina woke up with a headache. Glancing around her surroundings, she realized she had fallen asleep on Theo's bed. "Tita?" She asked her guardian as she spotted her on the other side of the room, doing incantations in the middle of a pentagram. Theo paused what she was doing upon hearing Tina's voice. "Hello, darling." she greeted her ward with a tired smile. "What are you doing?" Tina asked in concern. She didn't think Theo should be doing any magic at the moment. Crusts of blood could be seen in the corner of her aunt's eyes and her skin was pale. She looked beyond exhausted. "A cloaking spell. This should keep any being from finding us for the time being." "You should've woken me up when you did." Tina answered, "And are you sure you should be doing that? You were in bad shape just hours ago. How are you feeling?" "I'll be alright, Tina. You don't need to worry about me." Theo said, "How about you? Everything must be a huge shock to you. I'm

The 7th dimension (The Third Angelic Sphere) "Amara Khatri." Camael nodded at Amara, who still looked a bit pale from her injuries. Javier Santos was noticeably absent, though it was understandable from the amount of damage he had sustained from the battle at Varanasi. Amara prayed for him to recover soon, and also for Minho, Haneul, and Li Jie to show up at the assembly. She did not at all feel confident about making up excuses for them in front of Camael. "Moon Haneul," Camael said, then looking into the two other empty spots beside Haneul's. "Li Jie and Kim Minho are also absent." Amara swallowed. "They might have been held up with matters concerning the Filipino Mirror, Ma'am. I'm sure they'll be here in no time," she said, infusing all politeness in her voice. Camael paused, frowning at Amara, "Funny, I don't remember asking you to speak, Khatri." Amara gaped at her superior in embarrassment. In her periphery, she saw Mikazuki smirk. Of course, the creature would delight
