Angel Realm

And the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel.

This is the prophet's prophecy of the coming of the Son.

The Messiah will be conceived by a virgin, the offspring of the woman, conceived by the Holy Spirit.

It really didn't matter who her husband was; she had to remain a virgin before Christ was born.

Gabriel looked at the sleeping girl in the water mirror for a long time, his face soft and loving.Maria is now 16 years old, she is slim, charming and beautiful.

In the silent night, the sky is like ink, calm and deep.Suddenly, there were several extremely fine and inexplicable sounds, and it was unclear whether it was the whispering of small animals or the low whistling of the wind.

Maria slept restlessly, tossing and turning her body over and over again.She frowned tightly, as if she had dreamed of something bad.Finally, amidst an unusually loud and loud cry, she sat up suddenly.Sweat had soaked the nightdress, and her body felt nothing but tingling.

Raising her head in a daze, Maria's face was pale.She stared blankly at the front of the bed, and a figure appeared there at some point.The cold moonlight outside the window fell in, but the figure seemed to have fallen into an abyss.It seems that he is darker than the night.

Maria's delicate lips trembled slightly, but she couldn't say a word. The countless prayers she usually said had long been forgotten by now.This figure gave her infinite fear, and she couldn't even scream.

"Oh, Lilith..." A voice full of magnetism but full of malice suddenly sounded, and what he shouted seemed to be a name, "It's so rare, I can see you so weak again."

Maria didn't know who he was calling, so she could only ask calmly, "Who are you?"

Her room was broken into by someone in the middle of the night, which was scary enough, not to mention, she hadn't felt the breath of "human" from this person yet.

"Me?" The man smiled lightly, with an uncomfortable viciousness, "If it were you now, you would definitely not want to hear the name of this hall."

Although he said this, it was obviously not that he was unwilling to reveal his name, but just a kind of arrogant showing off.If it weren't for the frightening chill exuding from his body, Maria would probably have thought that he was the self-righteous young master of some noble family.She knew that this person must not be simple, if he wanted to harm her, she would have no possibility of escape.But since he spent all his time trying to talk to him, there must be other things, and now she can only stay the same.

The girl's composure seemed to be appreciated by the man, only to hear him say in admiration and nostalgia: "Lilith, you are still amazing as always."

Maria heard her call out this name again, and finally couldn't help her curiosity, and asked, "Who is Lilith?"

"Lilith..." The voice smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when suddenly a ball of white light appeared in the room.

Before Maria could react to the change, she heard a gentle, quiet but majestic voice coming out of the peaceful and tranquil white light. "Lucifer, what are you going to do!"

Another name Maria had never heard of.

She knew that the voice was not speaking to herself, but she couldn't move her gaze away for some reason.As if to make an extreme contrast with that black figure, the light is soft and warm, and there is no trace of leakage, except for itself, the rest of the place is still pitch black.

For some reason, Maria remembered the angel in the dream.She felt that if she could hear it in her dream, then it must be the voice of that beautiful and gentle angel.

"It's really fast, my lord envoy." Although the person called Lucifer called him "my lord envoy", his attitude was not half respectful, but rather mocking. "You should be very clear about what I'm here for... I am a noble and magnanimous lord who came to save my former allies."

Maria feels sick...

Although she didn't know what he meant, she felt sorry for the lord's former ally.

Another voice was silent for a while before it sounded again, "Lucifer, Maria is not Lilith, and she doesn't need your rescue."

See, this voice made Maria feel much more comfortable, and it wasn't artificial at all.

Lucifer didn't seem to want to argue with her, so he said leisurely: "If you really think so, I don't care. But, you can't help it, Gabriel."

"Lucifer." Gabriel's voice sank, with a hint of warning.

Mary may not know that Satan's name is Lucifer, but it is absolutely impossible not to know the most famous archangel, Gabriel.

"Okay, as long as you are happy." Lucifer pretended to beg for mercy and said, "Anyway, I didn't come here to interfere in this matter."

"Don't appear in front of Maria again. If there is a next time, I will never let you go." Gabriel never spoke to Maria from the beginning to the end, but every time Maria heard her say My own name, I don't know why my heart surges.

"It seems that today is not a good day to catch up with people." Lucifer did not agree to her, but suddenly said to Maria: "I will come again, Lilith."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared into the darkness like smoke.

Maria was originally full of fear of Lucifer, but after Gabriel appeared, she inexplicably relaxed, and she still had time to think about other things.Now even when he heard that Lucifer would come again, he didn't have any fear in his heart.

She cared more about the angel.

After Lucifer disappeared, the halo gradually dimmed, and he would probably leave like Lucifer in a short while.Maria became anxious, and boldly called out suddenly: "Lord Gabriel!"

She had too many questions in her mind, but she also knew that she stopped this angel not because she wanted to answer the questions.

The light flashed along with Maria's voice, but didn't continue to fade away.Although Maria called her impulsively, she never thought that the other party could really stay for her, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

"What's the matter, Maria?" After a while, Gabriel spoke first.The angel's voice is like clear spring water and mellow fine wine, which is intoxicating.

She had to explain her behavior, which was not difficult.

Maria crawled down on the bed, with respect and piety, softly said: "Master Angel, I would like to know the reason for what happened tonight."

Gabriel didn't answer her right away, as if after a low sigh, she got a response. "Maria, if possible, I hope you can treat all this as a dream."

"But Lucifer said he would come again, I can't just treat it as a dream." Maria was respectful but not timid. She lowered her head so that Gabriel could not see his expression clearly, but Gabriel Bailie knew that there must be a very stubborn look on that face.

"Maria, you are destined to be extraordinary, and you will naturally suffer. I originally hoped that, at least now, I could live a happy life for you, but it is difficult to achieve." Lucifer's personal dispatch also forced Gabriel to plan ahead of time. It would not be wise to hide Maria now.

"Mary, you shall be Joseph's wife. You and your husband are righteous, you are blessed by my Lord for your virtue and piety, and God the Father will give you great glory. You will be Conceive, and be honored by your child." The voice Maria heard at this time was as clear as ever, but a little more alienated and formulaic.She seemed to be pronouncing a sentence, but also seemed to be reciting without any emotion.

"Child?" It seemed ridiculous to Maria to honor her own child, but she did not ignore the meaning of the angel's words.This young girl has her own thoughts. Even though she grew up in such a priestly family, she prays every day, but she never blindly believes in gods. "I don't quite understand, Lord Gabriel."

"You will be the mother of the Messiah."

How many prophets predicted the birth of the Messiah, Mary once only regarded this as a legend.Now, an angel came to tell her that she had shouldered such a heavy responsibility.

She finally raised her head to look at the halo, with a bit of astonishment and confusion between her brows.

Such an expression stung Gabriel's heart.Although she tried her best to get rid of the relationship between Maria and Lilith, although she kept persuading herself that she should not interfere in her life, although she repeatedly warned herself that she would only destroy her, she couldn't stop the overflowing feelings in her heart.

"Lilith..." She murmured Lilith's name uncontrollably, and her impulsiveness almost overwhelmed her reason.

Maria had heard this name several times, and felt extremely weird. "Who is Lilith?"

She asked the question a second time.

However, the angel did not answer her either.She could only see the angel's fluctuating emotions from the flickering light.

In the end, she only heard Gabriel say to herself: "Maria, don't worry about Lucifer, I won't let her hurt you."

As she spoke, the light faded again.

Maria was not worried about Lucifer at all, she believed what the angel said to herself.Seeing that Gabriel was about to disappear in place, she couldn't help asking eagerly: "Then can I see you again? Lord Gabriel, when will you come back? I still have many things I want to ask you!"

As soon as she said it, she knew how offensive she was, but Angel, it was the first time she saw this creature with her own eyes.Although she didn't see the specific form, the voice and the holy brilliance already made her fascinated.

The light finally shrunk to a small point, and just when Maria thought desperately that she might never have the chance to see the angel again, a sigh-like reply sounded in the room.

"Tomorrow night."
