Elvin Mysteries
Chapter 1: The Other World
After Nuada and Nuala's deaths in the Chamber of the Golden Army, Hellboy, Abe, Liz and Johann resigned from the BPRD. The bodies of Nuala and Nuada are left in the Chamber are left in the Chamber undisturbed. Because of this, their souls went to the other world....
"Where am I?", Nuala asked herself while looking around. She sees a misty place with a golden gate. "This place is definitely not the Golden Army's Chamber, is this the place where all the dead goes?"
"Yes, and it may be not", says a voice from behind her.
Nuala looked back and saw a beautiful lady, she couldn't distinguish if she is an angel, elvin, a veela or something else. All she knows is that she is more beautiful than anyone she imagined to be. She is certainly more vibrant than anyone else, or anyone in this world that she thinks might be. In fact, the beautiful lady is glowing.
"Who are you?"Nuala asks cautiously.
"I am the Elvin angel. I hold the key to the entrance of the gate to heaven."
"But isn't it as most magical folk might say, that the angel of death is the one you would meet here? Or as the humans says in their Bible that St. Peter is the one who holds the key?"
The Elvin angel just laughed at her words.
"Am I mistaken?"
"Oh no, you are certainly not mistaken my dear. But you see, if you think about it more clearly, Heaven is such a large place wouldn't it be to hold all the dead beings since the start of time, those who turned good that is. So as it is, there are more than one gate to Heaven for the sorting out would be disasterdly hard wouldn't it? One time, in St. Peter's gate, the line extended for a million long, I remember," she said thoughtfully.
"Umm, well, do I get to enter?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. You see, elvin folk are always given a choice whether they would still want to live their lives on earth or not."
"Really? Than why is it that those who I know that died never came back to the living?"
"You see, it is only your soul that goes back to your old body."
Nuala just gave a look that seems to be that she is not getting what the angel is saying.
"Let me explain, if you died out of sickness, you would only go back to your old body that has a disease. So you would still suffer that disease once you lived and then you would die again. Some elves chose to live but they still died again so they chose to enter the gate already. Those elves whose bodies got destroyed, like your brother for example, who already got here before you and chose not to live in earth again for as you see (the angel waved a hand at the misty wall and an image is shown, which is the destroyed wax body of Nuada) his body is destroyed and would be of no use if he came back to earth again."
"What became of him?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, did he go to hell or at heaven? But I assume that he went to hell, I think." At this, Nuala gave a shudder.
"No, not yet, he chose to enter the gates of heaven in the condition of doing the punishment. His punishment is to be of community service for God, a thousand years for each person he killed, and a hundred years for each soldier of the golden army. Of course, before accepting the punishment, I explained to him of what is the good of humans and not to hate them. And because of this, he was given a second chance. I was rather surprised when he said that he wanted to do the punishment for few had wanted to choose this, it must mean that there is still good left of him. Those who did not choose to be punished went down there." She pointed to the burning pit a few feet behind Nuala which made her come forward upon seeing this. "They must be really evil people as to not admit their mistakes."
"So, if you don't mind my asking, can I choose to go back down the earth or not?"
"I suppose so, but didn't you stab yourself with a knife? I suppose that you would also die eventually. And another thing is that Anung Un Rama and your other friends are already back to BPRD Headquarters."
"Wait, how long was it from my death that I came here before you?"
"It was, two days already, your brother was pretty hard to convince about the good of humans. But I still saw good of him, and remained patient about convincing him."
"I'd take it, I would like to go back to earth."
"Are you sure?", the angel asked skeptically. "Won't you die again?"
"Yes, I am sure","then suddenly, Nuala remembered something. "But then, will my brother be alive again or is the link broken after our deaths?"
"Your links are broken already."
"But may I have a request first?"
"What is it?"
"Can you please show me the current state of Abraham Sapien?"
"Of course you may." And at a wave of a hand, the screen on the misty wall showed the current state of Abraham Sapien.
Abraham is there, in the library, sitting down, looking particularly miserable. He keeps muttering words about how it should be if Nuala was alive. He keeped praising her about her noble deed of sacrificing her self for the good of all humanity. He keeps on moping around. And then takes a can of beer and takes a full swig of it. Behind him could be seen a whole lot of empty cans. And then he suddenly sings the song "Can't Smile Without You" but he is stuttering out of sadness. The sight of sadness of Abe made Nuala sad too. Then they saw Hellboy and Liz, take a peek at the door. "I must stop him, I'll tell him to be happy and move on with his life."whispered Hellboy to Liz. "No, you musn't he must release all his emotions rather than bottle them all inside." And then they left.
"I must return. Please."pleaded Nuala.
"Alright if you must."and then with a wave of the hand, Nuala was gone.
