The warm of the fire from the fireplace bathed the room with warm sensation and made the teen that had been sleeping on the chair to wake up. Slowly the teen opened his eyes, letting the world to see the red orbs that were his eyes. He stayed silent for a moment before he stretched his muscles to make the stiffness in his body disappeared. This happened because he decided to sleep on the chair in his study when he could sleep on the bed.
Deciding it was wasting of time to think over something that had passed; the teen stood up from the chair and went to the private bathroom to take a shower. When he was in the front of the sink, he looked at his reflection on the mirror and gently touched his neck; there were a lot of scars from sharp blades and hanging ropes.
Taking a deep breath the teen banished those bad memories from his mind and then went under the shower. He stayed under the hot water and let it cleaned his body and calmed down his mind. With a sigh he closed his eyes and started to think about his life.
It had been years since that fateful day and until now he still remembered it like yesterday. He touched his scarred neck, who could forget the pain that had been inflicted towards them for years? No one could forget about it, not even him at the time he lost his humanity and gained the status as the one who Guard the Garden of Eden.
Yes, his new status in this life was Keeper of Eden… he gained that status when he was in the line between life and death. In that state he met with Gabriel, one of God's Archangels, who informed him that he had two choices; went to Heaven and forgot everything but his friends continued to be in pain or became a Keeper of Eden and sent to the timeline where he never met his friends.
Because he really cared about his friends, he chose the second option. For him that time, an existence of a single person was a good price to make sure many lives could be saved.
He turned off the shower and dried himself with a towel. After he had dried enough, the teen went to the wardrobe to pick his daily clothes. The clothes that he wore consisted of a high-collared black turtleneck, a red sweater vest, a thigh-length back overcoat with red trims, a dark brown leather belt, black trousers, knee-high black boots, and black gloves.
After the teen had fully clothed, he went downstairs and to the kitchen where he prepared some breakfast. He decided to make a cheese and beef sandwich along with a cup of hot earl grey tea. Before he ate his breakfast, he went to the coffee table in the living room and took the novel he had been reading from two days ago. He wanted to eat his breakfast along with reading the novel.
Because he was really engrossed with the story, he did not realize someone came towards him until they touched his right shoulder. The teen stiffened up in surprise only to hear a small giggle from behind him. Gently he closed the book and turned around to find it was only Elfrea, one of the fairies that had decided to live in the garden around his house.
"Sorry, Hadrian, but you were so engrossed with your novel that I needed to surprise you…" said the fairy to Hadrian.
Hadrian looked at the fairy and closed his eyes. "You did surprise me…" he told her truthfully.
Elfrea giggled at Hadrian's emotionless answer. Maybe to the others, Hadrian was an emotionless teen that never going to show his emotions, not even when his precious people died in front of him. They were wrong, Hadrian had emotions like the others, it just the combination of becoming Keeper of Eden and his painful past made the teen could not express his emotions.
She then became sober when a thought of someone came to Hadrian because of his status as Keeper of Eden. Until this day she and the others did not understand why God let Hadrian stayed in the human world when He knew how the Humans would react if Hadrian's status as Keeper of Eden came to the open.
They would do everything to make sure they could possess Hadrian as their own property.
Hadrian looked at Elfrea before gently poked her on the forehead. The fairy looked at Hadrian with surprise on her face.
"Stop…" without asking the teen already knew what in Elfrea's mind at this moment. "… It will be all right…"
Elfrea sighed a little. She knew Hadrian knew the consequence of living in the human world after he became Keeper of Eden, but earth was his home and he could not leave it. Not even when earth was the place where all of his sufferings and pains happened. He still loved this place.
She still remembered the time she heard Hadrian's life from the other fairies. They told him what had happened to the teen when he was still a mortal and how he sacrificed his existence among his family to make sure they were safe. From all of those stories, she knew in the past Hadrian was a martyr.
The teen looked at Elfrea from the corner of his eyes before stood up and put the dirty plate in the sink, where a fairy would clean it. After he did that he went to the front door, but before he opened it, he turned to look at Elfrea and asked if she wanted to come with him to the garden or not.
The blue-eyed fairy giggled and flew towards where Hadrian was. The teen opened the door and went to the indoor greenhouse where the flowers that Hadrian would sell in his shop were growing. The town where he lived maybe small but it had some atmosphere that made him felt in peace and did not need to remember all those bad memories.
It was true that the fairies helped him and some of the magical and heavenly creatures loved to come here. However, they still could not chase the emptiness in his heart. When he asked Elfrea about this, the fairy only smiled sadly at him and said that one day he would have the emptiness in his heart disappeared. All that he needed to do at this moment was hold on until that day came.
Hadrian watched the fairies that flying around the garden and above the flowers he had planted. Beside painting and baking, Hadrian loved gardening. For him all of those activities had made sure his mind did not go back to the dark place.
The teen then went to the plots that had been filled with flowers and looked at them. He gently brushed the tip of his fingers across his favourite flowers. From all of the flowers that he had planted in the garden, sunflowers and bluebells were his favourites. The reason why he loved them were not because they beautiful but because of what they represented for.
Sunflowers represented pure thoughts. They symbolized adoration and dedication. Not only that these flowers too symbolized of dedicated love. Meanwhile bluebells represented humility, gratitude, and constancy. However, the last symbol of these flowers was the one that made him loved it; the last symbol of these flowers was everlasting love.
His musings were interrupted when his familiar, a black raven flew through the open window. The appearance of his familiar told Hadrian that there was an assignment that he needed to be done. With that in his mind, Hadrian raised his right arm to let the raven perched on it while he read the letter that had been tied on one of his familiar's feet.
Elfrea gave the raven a three slices of cooked meat before looked at Hadrian. She blinked when she saw Hadrian's face became serious and knew the letter was an assignment from the agency. "You get an assignment?" she asked Hadrian.
Hadrian folded the letter and looked at Elfrea. "Yes, the agency wants me to help a family in Moscow…" he told the fairy.
Nowadays the human world knew about supernatural world thanked to the nearly apocalypse-level accident in NY ten years ago. If not for his adopted Father and his older siblings, that accident would wipe half of the USA and a huge chaos would happen. Thankfully they could seal that blasted abomination back to the Abyss and erased those events from the civilians' memories. The reason why his adopted Father did not command his older siblings to erase the events from the high rank government officers was to create a global agency to take care of this kind of things.
His adopted Father and his older siblings could not be there for them every day. So the existence of the agency was a great help for them, the agency would look over the supernatural world along with recruiting not only people who had experienced with supernatural things, but the people who had 'power' like in some fantasy novels.
"Just be careful, Hadrian…" Elfrea reminded the teen. "It's true that you're one of the Celestial and cannot be killed by normal things, but I still want you to be careful out there…"
Hadrian looked at Elfrea and nodded in agreement. "… I'll be careful…" he went back to the house to put on his long red scarf before go to where the assignment was.

In Moscow, Hadrian stared at the huge house in front of him with empty red eyes. Even without him went inside, he could sense something was wrong ad this family was right to contact the agency.
After pulling up the red scarf that he wore around his neck to hide half of his face, Hadrian went to the front door and knocked. He stayed silent for a minute or two until the front door was opened by a woman with blonde hair and green eyes. Without saying anything, Hadrian held the letter in front the woman's eyes, making her surprised for a second before then ushered Hadrian to go inside.
From the time he went inside, Hadrian already knew the wrong thing that happened in this house was coming from a curse, a nasty one, but could still be stopped and erased. However, what made him felt wary was how personal this curse was, as if the curser wanted this family too suffered so greatly.
Not long they arrived in a room that Hadrian could conclude was the daughter's room. He watched the woman opened the door to let him went inside. When he was inside the room, his attention soon was caught by the female that sleeping on the bed near the window. He tilted his head to the side a little when he saw black tendrils from a curse wrapped around the girl, making sure she could not wake up from her slumber.
"So, you're from the agency?" the husband asked as he approached Hadrian.
Hadrian looked at the husband and knew he was one of the high ranks in Russian government for he had seen him once or twice in some government formal parties. The teen put his hands inside pockets and asked, "Who in this family that had angered someone in the past?" straight to the point.
"What do you mean by that?" the wife asked Hadrian.
Hadrian looked at the sleeping girl on the bed before back to the parents. "… Someone out there had decided to send a curse to your daughter…" he explained. "From what I see… the problem isn't your daughter but someone in this family…"
The husband became silent at Hadrian's explanation and that caught the teen's attention. From how silent the man was, he knew the man knew the reason why his daughter in this condition. He waited for the man to tell him the reason why his daughter in this condition.
"This is my fault…" the husband explained, catching his wife's attention. "Two weeks ago I met my ex and she tried to make me went back to her…" he looked at his wife. "I refused for I already have a wife and a daughter… there's no way I'm going to break our marriage for some kind of stupid flings…"
"… And because the woman couldn't accept it, she decided to throw a curse to your daughter…" concluded Hadrian. There was one thing that Hadrian despised in his line of work and that someone put a curse, dangerous or not, to someone who did not have anything with the problem just to make sure their targets felt hopeless.
"Could you help our daughter?" the wife asked Hadrian.
Hadrian looked at the girl. "... Yes, I know how to help your daughter…" he watched happiness appeared on the parents' faces. "But there will be a payment…"
The husband looked at Hadrian. "If this about money, you know that I can afford it…" he told the teen. "Just help our daughter…"
Hadrian shook his head. "This isn't about money…" he looked at the parents. "What I meant with a payment is if I rescue your daughter, the caster will be dead from the backlash…" he told them emotionlessly, shocking the two of them.
The husband looked Hadrian with a slight concern on his face. "There's no other way?" he asked that question not because he cared about his ex, but because he did not want to take someone else's life.
Hadrian looked the husband right in the eyes. "… No…" he answered simply.
The adults started to talk with each other after Hadrian said that single world. He knew how scary the reality of killing others was for some people, but if they wanted to save their daughter, they needed to do it. Some people would say he was harsh to this family, but in this line of work, he could not sugar coat anything if he wanted someone to survive.
Not long the husband looked at him with a slight fear in his eyes. "Just… just save our daughter…" he told Hadrian.
After he gained the permission to do what was necessary to make sure the curse disappeared from the girl, Hadrian went to stand next to the bed and touched the daughter's forehead. The moment his right gloved hand touched her forehead, light blue particles appeared and swirled around them along with the appearance of a magic circle under his feet.
His half-closed eyes were glowing and the pupils became slit when this happened. He continued to use his power and knew the caster of the curse had some kind of trouble in stopping his attempt. Well, someone who was mortal would find it was very difficult when fighting against someone who was not a mortal, and this what happened.
The teen spotted black tendrils started to appear across the daughter's body and face, that was the sign of the curse, and then they broke into particles along with a woman's pained scream. From all of that Hadrian knew he had successfully destroying the curse and the girl was safe.
"The curse has gone…" Hadrian dusted his hands.
The parents were rejoiced to hear that. They were very happy that the curse had gone from their daughter and they could sleep peacefully from now on.
Before Hadrian left the house, he gave a small box that filled with potions to help the girl. Of course to make sure the girl's recovery gone smoothly, he put the instructions inside the box. After made sure everything was set, he went to the front door.
"Wait," the husband called Hadrian. "How much we need to pay you?"
Hadrian looked at the man. "The agency will take care of it…" he told the husband before nodded his head in a farewell and walked out the house.
When he was outside, Hadrian blinked at the heavy snowfall that happening in his sight. Taking a deep breath, Hadrian pulled his scarf up to make sure his face warm from the freezing weather. He loved this place after everything that happened in his former home country, but sometimes he felt annoyed with the weather, especially when blizzard came or when the temperature was below freezing.
With a puff of cold breath, Hadrian went through the heavy snowfall and to the city limit where he could teleport without the civilians knew about his power. It was true that nowadays the mundane started to realize about the supernatural world, but to everyone involved it would be only the higher rank officers that needed to know about that world. The reason of this was if the civilians found about them, chaos would happen and a large scale of witch hunts would appear in all of the countries around the world.
So to make sure the existence of supernatural world could not be seen in the open or by the civilians, the agency created a group of people that had one duty which was erasing the memories about supernatural things from the civilians' minds so they would live a normal life.
That was why, after his previous client paid the agency for his service, an Eraser would come to their house and erase the supernatural experience from the wife. The reason why the Eraser did not erase the experience from the husband was because he worked in the government and had a high position there, so he was immune from the erasing.
He knew manipulating mind could be categorized as rape, but as long it was to make sure chaos did not happen, he would ignore that fact, just what the others had told him, the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few.
When he was in the park, his magic suddenly nudged him to stop and this made the teen confused. It was rare for his magic to tell him what to do, but when it decided to it, it must be something important. So with that in his mind Hadrian went to the fountain not too far where he was and sat on it. He watched the snow continuously to fall from the sky with his empty red eyes.
If someone saw him at this moment, they would think he was crazy for staying outside when the heavy snowfall happened, but thanked to his magic, the cold did not harm him.
With another puff of cold breath, Hadrian closed his eyes and let the cold wind blew across his face. He knew his face at this moment was flushed red from the chilly weather, but he still did not move away from the fountain until his magic told him to go.
"Privyet (hello), little one~" a voice with Russian accent asked Hadrian. "Are you all right there?"
Hadrian blinked at the childish voice and turned to look behind him, to see who had decided to ask him. What he found when he turned around was a man in his mid-twenties with platinum blond hair and violet eyes, along with a slightly childish face and smile.
"… I'm all right…" he told the man.

Today the snow was fell heavily in Russia and the personification of the said country decided to walk outside. At first he wanted to walk to the forest near his house, but soon changed his mind and went to his Capital, Moscow.
In his capital, Russia saw not a lot of his people outside and he knew it was because of the weather. When he walked near the park, he spotted a black-haired teenager wearing a thigh-length black overcoat with red trims, black trousers, knee-length black boots, black gloves, and a long red scarf around the neck, sitting on the fountain.
He was intrigued with the teen for he did not look disturbed with the cold weather and he knew the weather affected him from his flushed face. Curious with the teen, Russia decided to go to the teen and asked him if he was all right.
When the teen turned around to look at him, the teen's eyes caught his full attention. The teen had the same eyes colour with a country that in the past was under his power, but they were different from each other; if that country's red eyes full with emotions especially anger, the teen's red eyes did not show any emotions as if he did not have any.
"… I am all right…" the teen told Russia.
He did not know why but his instinct encouraged Russia to know about the teen and because his instinct never led him astray before, he would do it.
