Charlus received a flurry of messages but he didn't pay any heed to them. He was currently focused on his current situation. Charlus embraced the aura and the light and dark emanating from the both of them merged together.
The emanating aura lasted for a few seconds before subsiding. Charlus opened his eyes and met with the eyes of the girl whose lips were still on his.
Charlus backed away from the girl. He did not look away though. He asked a question.
”I can't believe I am going to have to ask this question to someone that kissed me but, who are you?” Charlus asked the girl softly.
The girl looked at the very confused face of Charlus. She replied in a sweet and soft voice.
”Mine name is Hebe. I greet thou.”
Charlus liked the sound of her voice but was more intrigued by the language she used.
”How do you know me? I mean, what made you kiss me?” Charlus was still confused about why she kissed him.
”Thou are some one familiar to me. I am truly attracted thee.”
Charlus was vaguely accepting of those words. He understood her to some extent. Hebe seemed very familiar to Charlus as well. He felt innately attracted to her just like how she claimed.
”And what were you doing in the stone?” Charlus pointed to the stone behind the girl.
Hebe looked back and saw the stone she came out from.
”I hast descended from above. I hast been freed from mine offices as the Angel of Life.”
Charlus tried to comprehend what Hebe had said. She was the Angel of Life that was 'freed' from her duties. That meant that she was no longer an angel right? But she had wings.
”I am still an angel. I just never hast to fulfil mine offices,” Hebe clarified.
”Wait, so are you like a couple of thousand years old?” Charlus asked Hebe.
Hebe laughed. ”I hast fulfilled mine offices for 17 years after mine birth. Hence, I am now 17 years old.”
Charlus smiled back. ”So you only needed to fulfil your duties for 17 years? God is that lax?”
Hebe replied, ”God cares for all his children.”
Charlus stood up from his position. He walked around until he suddenly remembered something.
”Wait. I have wings! So am I considered an angel? Do I need to do some work for God or something? But I only became an angel like a month or so ago.” Charlus suddenly panicked. He didn't want to be going to heaven so soon.
”Thou do want not to be alarmed. Thou hast not been formed in heaven. Thou are an angel created by thy connection to perpetual death.”
Charlus vaguely understood Hebe's explanation. He calmed down and decided to address the most glaring problem he was currently seeing.
”So where do you plan on living?” Charlus asked Hebe.
Hebe smiled. ”I shall wander the earth and hope the gracious people of the world shall provide for me.”
Charlus sighed.
”Perhaps you are confusing yourself with heaven, this is Earth. People on Earth aren't as generous as you think. And with someone as beautiful as you, you are only going to be encountering people who... how do I put it? yes, lust after you.”
Charlus put it very bluntly and Hebe sighed.
”I had been warned. I was hoping that the world hadn't turned this way. What doth thou propose?”
Charlus thought for a while.
”You know what? I'm actually going back to my apartment today. I could take you with me. You could stay with me until you figure something out.” Charlus invited Hebe to stay at his apartment.
Hebe hesitated and then smiled.
