Shadows

A Leap For Hope

"Is Heaven this amazing when you come here?"

"He is too busy on his assigments to come home, Reanna Ericka," Anzel says, flying behind them.

She glances up to see his wings behind his body. A hood covers his head in darkness that was connected to his jacket. His wings reflected the sun, making rainbows appear on the pillers around them. The feathers never move.

How can he fly like that? Are his wings to fly or are they just to look pretty?

Anzel flew over them, landing a few feet infront of them. His wings bend behind his back.

"So, who are we going to see? Is it someone I know?" Theo inquires.

"It is someone I have known for a very long time, Theo William."

They step off the pathway to see the chapel infront of them. Stone steps lead to oval doors that had three different coloured stainglass windows. Reanna takes a few steps back.

"Has it always been this big?" Reanna asks.

She glances up to see a oval glass roof unlatch from the rest of the building. Slowly one side of the glass lifts up until it stands straight up. The golden metal that surrounds the glass shines in the sunlight. Tiny birds escape the building and fly west. The glass silently lowers down, latching itself to become another part of the roof.

On the ground a swarm of blue sparlkes fly towards Theo. He glances at them and lifts a hand, it gently settles in his palm. The sparkles transform and expload into smoke. He fans it away to reveal a white letter.

His face lights up as he was the black words written on the envolope- Achieve of Heaven residents. Eagerly he rips it open, throwing the envolope behind him. He silently reads the letter to himself, his lips curl into as a smile as his eyes light up. He quickly folds the letter and shoves it into his pocket

"I have to go!" He pushes off and flies into the sky.

Reanna doesn't notice, her eyes were locked on the vines that grow on the chapel. Dark purple flowers bloom on the plants. She raises her eyebrow as she catches gold dust escape one of the flowers, it falls on another vine. Instantly another purple flower blooms, it repeats the process. Gold dust falls on the ground, wild flowers slither out from between the stones.

Why does this look like the plants on the castle in Purgatory? Is this because Purgatory is half of Heaven?

"Would you like to be late, Reanna Ericka?"

She rips her eyes off the flowers and rushes towards the step.

"Uh" She looks at the flowers again.

Is Bellator on his way home now?

"No," She turns to Anzel. "Let's go,"

As they walk up the stairs the doors creak open. Reanna strolls inside to see one of the many rooms inside the chapel. The floor was white marble, which reflects the golden walls. The room was bare of furniture except for three couches that were spread around the room and, white bookshelves that reached the roof. The ceiling was pure white, extending out to support the selves before it arched upwards towards a glass dome. The dome was lined with gold that latched to the metal clips on the roof. The bookshelves were full except for a few spaces that were filled with flowers. Across the ballroom was a desk that sat between two doors.

Behind her, Anzel enters the chapel silently closing the doors behind him. He walks up to her and stands beside her, his eyes were locked on the angel behind the desk.

"Is it just me or does it look smaller inside?" She asks, turning to him.

"This is only one part of the chapel." He whispers.
