Chapter 6: Another World and a New Story

Looking towards each other both Aziraphale and Crowley debated what questions should be asked. It had taken a few minutes before any had moved or spoken until a small deep breath came from the demon. A relaxing breath had also moved towards those who are at the table.

"Well, then my question is," Crowley had spoken up quietly, "how did you two meet each other?"

Taking a deep breath, Ezra began to speak. "Well it was a long time ago now it feels. Almost nine hundred years since we been together. It is really surprising."

"Not that surprising really. But nonetheless very exciting," Alec spoke up, "We had met at my village in what is now known as Germany on the coast."

"In Germany," Aziraphale had questioned. Crowley had looked up from his hands and looked at the angel next to him.

"Yes, I was apart of a small village that was located there before we traveled the ocean to Greenland," Alec stated. "I was a chief's daughter, his only and oldest actually. I had a brother after me. From this I was trained to be a soldier. When I was around 16 at the time, I was hunting near my village when I stumbled upon Ezra training with a weird staff at the time near a small hut."

"A strange staff," Ezra questionably laughed. "It was a scythe. Was trying a new weapon at the time. Kind of had too."

"Anyways, I didn't know what he was. Friend or foe, didn't know. He was close to the village, but I didn't want to show face yet so I watched him from afar," Alec stated. "I had moved away back towards my village to let my father know. It was strange though, as it seemed that my father already knew he was there. But I was told to keep an eye on him to see if he had any suspicious actions that would threaten our village."

"They thought that I was a spy. To me it was a weird idea to figure out. You see when I was there in Germany, I was on earth for only a century. It was all still new to me, especially how human act outside of my home," Ezra mentioned.

"Your home," Crowley asked, "what do you mean?"

"I was raised in purgatory you see," Ezra said with a glint in his eye. "Gran said, 'because of how either side could take advantages in raising me against the other side.' Kind of had to agree with them, especially because my parents are from both sides. One is a low-ranking archangel that is not taught in most religions and a demon."

"Amazing," Aziraphale breathed. "Do you know your parents by appearance or name?"

"No," Ezra said, "I all know that is that my eyes are a mix of both of theirs. My hair is the shade of black of my angelic parent."

"So where are we now," Crowley asked.

"In a pocket of purgatory," Alec stated. "Only a few are able to enter easily through here without my husband's help."

"Had to make it so no one dangerous messes with my family," Ezra smiled, "Wanted to make sure that they are safe you know. Would be hard if I am away somewhere."

-Small Time Skip-

"Anyways, on with the story," Alec mumbled, "You see thinking Ezra was a spy, I was supposed to keep an eye on him while my village began to move to Greenland. We wanted to make sure he was not from a rival group."

"It took me close to a week to figure out she was there," Ezra stated, "But it surprised me. Especially when she stumbled out of her hiding place."
