Chapter 9: An Angel's Haven
By: Koumiko LINE
Heaven – a peaceful and beautiful paradise where the good-souls live in happiness. Just outside its golden gates, one figure stood on the white clouds. He had eight wings and long blonde hair that floated in the wind. He carried a battle scar on his side, and it still gave me memories of his past life and his defeat. He was waiting for someone, so that they would enter heaven together, as they had left it earlier in the day for their jobs as guardian angels.
"Angemon!" (A/N: Remember, he died as MagnaAngemon, that's why he has eight wings. Angewomon just calls him by his champion form's name, for simplicity's sake.)
He was greeted by another eight-winged angel, but she was female, her body less muscular and more feminine. She glided towards him and landed.
"Where were you?" Angemon scolded.
"Somewhere on earth." Angewomon answered flatly, playing with the cloud they were standing on.
"You're keeping something from me." Angemon mumbled, smiling and taking Angewomon in his arms. Angewomon smiled secretively, like she had a better secret than what she looked like under her helmet. She broke into laughter.
"I'm sorry Angemon – I'll show you the place I call my home." Angewomon grabbed Angemon and they both glided down towards earth. Angewomon led him to a crystal palace. When they came near the palace, their battle garbs were replaced.
Angewomon wore a white and simple empress dress, and her helmet disappeared, revealing her blue eyes and the sign of light on her forehead. A silver crown, embedded with shimmering diamonds, sat atop her golden head, and the wings from the side of her helmet became part of the crown.
Angemon now wore a white shirt, pants and cape, outlined in silver. The buckle on his waist and his forehead revealed the sign of hope. On his head sat another crown, larger than Angewomon's, with a large diamond stone only as the embellishment. Each of their 4 pairs of wings remained with them. The angels landed in a beautiful garden with beautiful flowers.
"I don't know about you, but this place feels – so familiar." Angewomon said, picking a flower. Angemon nodded, his eyes curiously looking around.
"This is why you are always gone?" Angemon asked. Angewomon just laughed.
"No!" Angewomon said, yanking his arm and pulling him towards a clearing of grass, circled by many roses. "Follow me – this is the reason why I am here. Stand here. I'll introduce you to them." Angemon puzzled over who "them" was as Angewomon walked farther into the clearing.
"Angewomon!" Angemon heard a small child's voice. Then a little girl with blonde hair came running up to Angewomon, her light pink gown trailing like wings behind her. Not far behind her was a little boy, not much younger that the girl. He had blond hair also. The children ran around Angewomon as she bent down and hugged them.
"I want you to meet my best friend—his name is Angemon." Angewomon said, looking in Angemon's direction. Angemon walked towards them.
"Hello, sir Angemon." The little boy said, looking at Angemon with his blue eyes. Angemon smiled and knelt down. "My name is Prince Christopher." Angemon's eyes widened.
"I am Princess Violet, sir Angemon." The little girl said, coming closer to Angemon. Her violet eyes sparkled from excitement.
"Hello." Angemon said awkwardly. Then he saw the signs on their foreheads. Violet had a sign that looked like a flower. "Happiness," Angemon muttered. Then he looked at Christopher. He had a more familiar sign, with the sign of hope and light entwined.
"It's the sign of unity, Angemon." Christopher said proudly.
"I see… who are your parents?" Angemon asked.
"They don't have any, Angemon." Angewomon said.
"They both passed away when I was young." Violet started. "Our mother passed away when she had Christopher, and our father died in a war to save the Kingdom. Bijoux and Lilly told me that."
"Would you like to meet them?" Christopher asked. "They were our mother's ladies in waiting – now they're Violet's." Christopher ran off before he got any reply from the angels. When he was gone, Violet started to chase butterflies. Because of the length of her gown, she tripped and fell.
"Violet!" Angewomon screamed, worried. Violet started to cry. Angemon picked her up and carried her to Angewomon. On her knee there was a scrape. Angewomon touched it with her hands and the wound disappeared in a flash of light. Violet stopped crying.
Christopher came back followed by two ladies. Neither angel looked at them as the concern was for Violet.
"What has happened Violet?" Christopher said, running to Angemon, who held his sister. Angewomon picked him up.
"Your sister had a little accident. She'll be fine, sweetheart." Angewomon said, hugging Christopher.
"Meet Lilly and Bijoux—" Christopher said, turning his head towards te ladies. He realized they were kneeling and weeping. Angewomon walked closer to them curiously, followed by Angemon.
"Your majesties," Lilly said between breaths.
"You're angels – the prophecy…" Bijoux added.
"Majesties?" Angewomon asked.
"Your grace – you do not remember?" Bijoux asked Angewomon. Angewomon shook her head.
"Princess Angel, we were your ladies in waiting." Lilly said.
"Then, doesn't that mean…" Angemon said, looking at Violet and Christopher.
"Yes, Prince Andrew. Princess Violet and Prince Christopher are your children."
"What?" Angewomon paled. She handed Christopher to Angemon. "Hold him." She commanded, then her blue eyes rolled back and she fainted, Lilly catching her just in time.
