Heaven narrowed his eyes at the dangerous glint Lucifer showed, "The punishment have been handed to you, a thousand year is your punishment why do you still want to go against Heaven, Lucifer?"

"Didn't you said it to Elise earlier too, Heaven? That time is what it takes for one to forget their hatred. It's just to me thousand year wasn't enough," Lucifer answered, "Because of that, I want able to bid goodbye to the person I have been wanting to see," a momentarily sadness hinted on Lucifer's words but wasn't long enough for it to be sorrowful. "Do you know where Gabriel is?"

Heaven crooked up his brows, "I have not seen him since two hundred years ago,"

"I see," Lucifer hummed with a faint smile. "What a shame." He said while his expression told the opposite of his words.

"What are you planning by searching for Gabriel?" Heaven asked because there was never a time for Lucifer to question about someone without having something in his mind like a plan.

"He disturb my family's peace and before it will go awry, I need to stop and ship him away," Lucifer circled his hand, "Back to the point I need something from you, Heaven. As one of the Archangel who had watched me punished, I want you to name the Angels who were present on the day when I killed Seraphim."

Heaven didn't immediately reply, he was still on his guard, not daring to let it down as he knew the moment he does so, Lucifer would find his chance to twist every opportunity to his hand. It was one of Lucifer's skill to use a person's weakness for his use.

"What are you planning?" asked the Angel with the long blonde hair.

Lucifer hummed while his head tipping, appearing to be thinking as his smile widening with maliciousness, "There is only one thing Lucifer would do, isn't there? Waging war to the corruptive Archangels who thought accusing me would save their own ass. Don't you hate Heaven and those angels who didn't grant your sole wish to meet your wife again? I can help you Heaven by having you meet your wife than the decaying corpse under the coffin. What do you say?"

Heaven's hand clenched and unclenched. His eyes which was non-existent widened in shock and a certain hope glimmered his countenance. When he was faced with the choices Lucifer offered where it was one of his greatest wish to meet his wife just for once more. During the last moment of his wife's death, he didn't have the chance to exchange the few last words with her and it had been his one last wish. For that he didn't mind to do anything, but now the Devil had offered him the choice and his belief was tested.

"I doubt names are what you want. Out with it, what else do you wish from me?" Being one with a keen intuition, Heaven could tell Lucifer's goal was only names. He knew that when one had sign contract with a Devil they need to be prepared to lose their soul.

Without the need to heal his eyes or renew his eyeballs, Heaven could sensed Lucifer smiling wider as what he had expected came the way he had orchestrated. "There is many, night is still long we can discuss about this further but let's save that for next time, I need you to help my nephew. He is in danger, you see," Lucifer took a step forward and when his feet landed on the ground near Heaven in an instance all the fog in the forest disappeared, "Let's move away from here, you can bring the coffin with you. Malphas!" Lucifer called and a crow with a slightly chubbier stomach and short legs flew its hardest toward them, arriving as a human by the time he landed on the ground.

"Show him the way," Lucifer said before he teleportate from the place, disappearing in a blink of an eye.

Malphas looked at Heaven with a smile when the Angel who was frowning look at him smiling, being an Angel of kindness, Heaven offered the Demon a smile to which Maplhas was happy of, "Please, follow me."

"How long is left until Lucifer gain his body?" questioned Heaven before he followed the place Malphas ushered him to.

"Uh, I suppose at the same time the blood moon appear. It's the sign of the Lord's thousand years punishment," answered Malphas and Heaven could only imagine what that day would brew disaster to Heaven and the mortal's world. He had planned to disclose himself from the business of the world but once again dragged for his wish. Holding to his ribbon, Heaven took it off, revealing his closed eyes and he used the ribbon to tie his hair. Passing by a bark of a tree, his white robe changed to a human-like clothing that consist of black shirt and a long brown coat.

Arriving back home, Elise separated on her way with Ian and had changed to her nightgown. She took one pillow with her, wondering if she needs it when she was going to shift in Ian's room where there was many pillow that was as soft as clouds.

Before entering the room, Elise took some light steps of left and right, going in circles to calm her heartbeat that suddenly spike underneath her chest the moment she arrived at the mouth of Ian's bed room.

The recollection of what happened the last time she slept on Ian's room, circled in her mind, making her feel giddy and her toes curl. She was putting herself together when Ian who had been keeping a sharp ear to the pit-pat sound of both her heartbeat and her footsteps opened the door.

Ian peered down at Elise, his shadow tower her, "It's not our first time sleeping together, what's with your nervousness?" The way Ian had put it make her feel ticklish. She stared at Ian's chest that was revealed as the top of his white shirt loosened with the laces that he left droopily.

"Where is the book?" Ian then asked, pulling Elise's blue eyes that went to admire the lines of his chest and the smoothness of his sun-kissed skin.

"Here," she said and Ian opened the door wider for her.

"Come in then. I won't bite you today, I promise," Ian smiled, showing how harmless he was which was only a minute fraction to the truth.

Sensing something brewing under his words, Elise asked, "How much promises have you kept and broke?"

Ian chuckled at his bride's witty question as she had gotten a hold to his small lie, "More than the amount that I kept," he replied honestly, meeting Elise's blue eyes blinking at him. "But I won't pounce on you today. I will keep it fresh for the first night," his words caused air to knock out from Elise's body. When their gaze locked she felt tingles spread to the corners of her body like a gentle wave of warmth and shivers.

They entered the room and Elise stepped in, compared to before, the room was less darker with more candles being lighted up, however it still lack the brightness to make the room brim with shines. Instead, it was dim but enough for Elise to look around.

She just realized how often she came to the room while the entire corners were dark. The light now enable her to look at what she missed.

"Come here," Ian tapped the bed on his right side, wanting her to come instead of looking around. "How disappointing that my room is more interesting than me. Come here, my love."
