Chapter 12: Hidden again.
Gabriel had done a lot of thinking. His seat was now more like a thorne, not a
throne. He had a lot to atone for
now. I killed an innocent. How could I do such a thing? I should have kept better tabs on
Tailmon. Gods, what have I done. She was my second Guardian Angel for the
Chosen. She protected them all whether
she knew it or now. It was part of me
that told her to do so. Patamon as
well. He will not take it very
well.
I see you are still mourning the unborn life.
Caleb. What is it now?
That was not even a life you
know. No need to mourn it.
We have been over this time
and again. You know your wrong, even
Lucifer explained it to you.
But they are data. I cannot believe it.
Data with physical
manifestations, even my Chosen, Koushiro understands this.
Rocks are physical, so what?
Caleb, I am no mood to argue
with you. I already told you,
everything is in place for them to help me live. Now leave. And stay out
of it. I will go to Lucifer if I have
too.
No need to pull my leg. This time I am with you.
Just remember that. I will not hesitate killing myself if you
interfere. This is their task not
yours. Understand that.
I do, I never said I would
interfere; I merely wanted to play a game with them as well.
What game?
I believer your Chosen Ken
said it best- Hide and Seek.
No, maybe after they meet me
and learn of their choice. I will need
their challenges to be worthwhile. If
you create any like Vamdemon though, it's over, do we understand each other?
From the beginning. You worry too much Gabriel. You should learn to rest.
We did three centuries
ago. Now leave me, I have to attend to
something. Gabriel glared.
Whoa boy. Don't want to get you mad. I may be the more cunning but you always
were the stronger. Remember, balance…
Must be kept. Why do you think they are not here right
now. Now leave.
Good-bye, Gabriel. We will talk soon.
I bet we will. Good-bye, Caleb.
Caleb left and Gabriel returned to his
plan. This is only the
beginning. They did find the two in one
day. There may be hope for them
yet. Nightfall. I should check in on them. Hmm. Miyako is poisoned. They just
cannot stay out of trouble. Daisuke is
concerned. He still has a lot to
learn. No amount of reassurance will
help him from them. Maybe I can
help. Lots of help I have been
though. He still needs reassurance.
Gabriel one last time contacts them. He is right Daisuke. She will be fine. I need her as much I as I need the rest of you. Get rest. Nothing can harm you at night. I
have protection methods for you all. See, she wakes.
And she does. Good, Jyou is very talented for one so young. I must leave them alone for the rest of the night. They have to fend for themselves like they when they first came here. I cannot interfere I told myself. Caleb reminded me every time he came to visit. They all warned me. I listened at first. Until I saw what Koushiro and Palmon were doing. It seemed so innocent and naïve. Even for him. It turned serious. I could feel it in my core. That hurt. So I tried to distance that. I placed Jyou and Mimi together more often. At first it was to keep Koushiro away. Then I saw how Jyou acted towards Mimi. She was oblivious. As always. I had to nudge her. Lightly. Why am I telling myself this. It is they who need to know. Tomorrow they head to first part of Server Continent. Three of their friends await them. They already know about Agumon. I will not tell them about the others. They had figured out the other two with outside help. I will not give it myself. Not anymore. I owe them an easier way to the land though. They shall get that. But I will not help them anymore than I have too. I am already acting on too many Emotions. Regret, Love, Fear, the list goes on. Misery. That poor child. Why did she not take my offer. To make me feel more guilt? That is petty. But cats are. No I felt her heart break when I told her. She is hiding it. She will have her day, that much I can do for her. Jehovah will not have it any other way. But, also, it is the only way I know how to make up for my mistakes. She will appreciate it. Enough of that. I hate this Emotion. Depression. I can barely put up with it. I have experienced too many of these Emotions. Too much of my time has been preoccupied with myself, my feelings towards my Chosen. Not enough on my duties. The Virus's has killed many Data's. They have been reprocessed at Primary Village. Such is the way of these balances. This has not been balanced for almost a year. A year since MaloMyotismon took control of the Dark Emotions. Call them spores if you will. But they are just the Arrogance and Proud Emotions amplified. Those innocents should not have been brought wayside. No one should have. Caleb allowed this to occur. We both did. My Chosen fixed it. I have been proud in my choices. They will make me proud again. Still the sins of the father. Will my Chosen bear my sins? No. I can firmly say that. That is why this game is necessary. Games. Humph. Piedmon thought the Chosen were game. Just an activity to help pass his time. No we angels are above that. This is Life or Death. We all will take the consequences with us to our final rest. I wish them the best. I know they will not fail me. When all is said and done my Mercy will rest on their shoulders. Such was the weight to bear. This is not uncommon for me. I am the Angel of Death. I have been. All those live see me as they die. I reconcile their stress. I make them walk with me. I find they, in an instant, understand their fate. They accept it. This process is set on, I guess humanic language permits it, Fast-Forward. They have no idea. Their entire life, gone and revisited in a flash. I say to them: Don't be afraid. I didn't mean to scare you. I promise you, you will stay as beautiful as you are. Forever. And I want them to remain as such. My Chosen. Will they give it up to me? Their lives. I want to be their angel. I will be their choice. Their faith in themselves will bring them to me. I gave them everything. Everything. I thought I was getting something right. And I realize I ruined it. They will understand. I need each of you to be strong in your strength's. This wish is mine alone. Hmm. Nightfall ends. Day breaks. When I bring about your Revelations, and your Genesis, will you be able to handle it? Will you claim your rights to my kingdom? Will you save me? Can they save me? Are they going to save me? Can they make me smile? Are they going to save me?
