Summary
An angel, who was stolen the chance to live because of her early death when she became a Christian infant during Nero's time, will again be given a chance to experience how it is like to be human. In her second chance, she will descend as a 20 year old girl with no memories of Heaven. How will she survive and find her way back to Heaven? And when the time comes, will love pull her to stay or push her to go back?
Chapter 1
"Save her! Oh, please save her!" a woman called out to no one in particular. She was dragged by Nero's men, and was about to be burned alive. In this century, King Nero has ordered to kill all Christians, no exceptions; may it be an infant or an old sickly woman, if you're a Christian, no mercy will be shown. And so, along with this woman was her 3 month old child.
The wail and sobs of the other infants were deafening.
The screams and protests of the others were as loud as a thunderstorm.
"Stop this! Justice will prevail!"
"The Kingdom of God is at hand, we will not give up our faith!"
"May peace be with you and your soul when this is finished."
"My child, save her please!"And before the woman breathed her last, she prayed, "My Lord, may peace and love come upon her when she reaches Your Kingdom."
Then the fire consumed her slowly enflicting pain to her whole body, until she felt no more.
White. A blank space similar to a clean sheet of pure white paper without dots, without stains, without marks and… with nothing at all. It's a room but it's not. It's a vast space, so vast that you couldn't see the end of it. It has no corners, no roof, no walls and no hint of shadows. Pure and endless white.
Hushed tones and soft voices occupied the room. Every voice seemed to be busy. Every being seemed to be busy over some business they each have.
Then a blinding ray of light shone.
The clear white space was emptied, though not noticed. For the people, or rather, the beings that occupied this place a little while back, was also white as snow. Their skin, their wings, and their clothes are all white. This gave the aura of purity, peace and blankness of the space. Blankness, for the said place reminds of a clean sheet of paper. It is endless blankness that would probably make a person go insane. No corners, no shadows, no roof, no walls, just the complete unmistakably white color that extends to infinity.
The beings are those who we call Angels.
And the place is the Heaven everyone's theorizing about. This is the place that people dream of going after they die. The paradise of the afterlife.
Angels are happy. For Heaven is complete and provides them whatever they need. There are no worries, no problems. In general no one would wish being anywhere but here.
But today, in a rather irrelevant day (or so they thought) where everyone was just flying around, playing and bonding with others, an angel makes a surprising request: "I want to be human."
And makes the entire day, for the lack of a better word, exciting.
