Chapter 11 - The Explanation

"Devil! How many more times do I have to tell you to not use so much smoke! You could kill someone you know!"
"Quit whining. You sound sooooooo much like Mom. Now stop being a goody-two shoes and let’s get this over with."
"What are you guys doing here?" Angel questioned as soon as they had their attention on Vyu and Angel once again.
"We are here to transport you to a new place. All of you. The place is called Swana. Lovely place. They have great beaches." Angel answered.
"Wait. Why do we have to move? Things aren’t finished here."
"Ummmmm, yes they are." Devil stated.
"What do you mean?"
This time the Angel replied. "The war is over. Nesemis lost."
"The war is over already? How did it end so fast?"
"The prophecy stated when it would end. Remember?" Devil said.
"It said that the war would end when there was no more hate or distrust." Angel continued.
"But who hated who?" Vyu questioned, finally getting into the conversation.
"It was Angel. She hated herself because she thought that she was the one who killed her own mother. But when Nesemis said that he killed Miirii*, well, of course Angel would stop blaming herself. So, the war ended."
"The next two lines said that Nesemis would hide until something or someone in the future would need him." Said the Angel, picking up where Devil left off. "Therefore, Nesemis is hiding inside of Angel, in a very deep sleep. He’ll be transferred from Angel to someone else in the family and so on and so on. He’ll keep on being transferred from generation to generation until the future needs him."
"Whoa. Back up. Nesemis is inside of me?" Everyone looked away, not wanting to answer the questioned.
"Dad! Tell me!"
Vyu took a deep breath before he opened his mouth to speak. "When you fainted, something happened. Both you and Nesemis started to rise and I guess Nesemis kind of floated toward you and entered your body. Next thing we know, you fell to the ground."
Angel didn’t say anything. She was in shock.
"So." Devil said, breaking the silence. "We should probably get going. Don’t worry about packing. Everything you need is already set up for you there."
"Who says that we will go with you?" Angel asked,. The anger was clearly noticeable in her voice. "Do you think that you could come here at anytime and just mess with our lives?!? Do you think you can control me? That I would do anything you want me to do?!?!?"
"Calm down Angel! I know that you feel…uncomfortable knowing that Nesemis is inside of you but you have to get a grip! You know we have to leave this place. It’s not our land. It’s the spirit’s and we should give it back to them."
"But Dad." Angel whispered, tears hanging from the tip of her eyelashes. "What about Mom?"
"Well, I really haven’t thought about that but I imagine that she will have to s-stay here." Vyu answered, his voice cracking.
"Can I say something?" the Angel interjected. "You know Angel, your mom would always be with you. It doesn’t matter how far you go, she will always be right by your side. That’s because her spirit is in you. I should know. I am an angel after all."
"Still…"
"Honey, you know that I can’t bear to leave your mother either but…" Vyu left the statement hanging.
"Can I go visit her one last time?" Vyu nodded. Angel stood up and briskly walked away, wiping her tears.
Soon, Angel reached the place where Miirii* rested.
"I don’t want to leave you, Mom. But I know I have to. What should I do?" Angel cried desperately. She seriously considered killing herself to stay here with her mother but she knew Vyu would be devastated. If Vyu lost her too, he would probably also commit suicide. And Angel didn’t want that.
Angel stayed sitting there until the sun began to sink down below the horizon. Then, she journeyed back to the others.
"I’m ready to go."
"Finally!" Devil exclaimed.
"Shut up!" the Angel told the Devil. "You are sooooooo inconsiderate."
"Whatever." The smoke returned and they left to a new place with Angel having no connection to her mother anymore. Except in her memories."
