Do you know devils? Yes, l know you do. In the earth of this story, devils know that they are no way even close to God so they resort to living with his disobedient creatures, THE HUMANS. Some demons sink themselves into romance with humans and live like them, others leave in the shadows awaiting a ruler and the rest resort to corrupting and destroying the world. On the other hand is the Holy Tree Clan which defends humans from devils and destroys them.
This story kicks off with a girl by the name of Crystal Leonella with her cousin as well as best friend Mirabell Summer. The two girls were in the living room with Mirabell lying down on the floor and Crystal with her eyes closed lying on the couch facing upward. They seemed to be extremely bored until Mirabell came up with an idea.
Mirabell:( sits upright with her eyes closed and exhales heavily) Aaaaaaah, like for real Crystal. Are we gonna be like this forever?
Crystal:(opens her eyes revealing her glittering ocean blue eyes)Hmmmmmmm, l think so. We cannot do anything apart from staying in this position until night falls.
Mirabell:(her face lights up with an idea)l know. Let's plead to Uncle Cyrus to leave this ghostly mansion for at least a few hours.
Crystal:(her heart skips a bit) Did l hear you right, Mirabell? Ask my father for permission to step out of this mansion.
Mirabell:(nods in agreement with her eyes closed)Yap, l did say that.
Crystal:(sighs)l would also want to take on your suggestion,but l can't guarantee his acceptance. But let's give it a try.
With that said, Mirabell and Crystal gathered their strength and gently moved in the hallway of the second floor of the luxurious mansion. Each floor, corner and room had several maids and servants who bowed at the sight of the two young mistresses of the family. Crystal hated all this bowing and strictness, but she couldn't prevent it however much she always tried to erase it from all of the workers of the Leonella Family. At last,the two girls made their way to their desire. They stood in front of a large closed door with their eyes meeting each other. Whatever was behind that door, had a great impact on them.
Crystal:(looks at Mirabell with a glimmer of hope in her) Mirabell, let me hope it works out. l leave everything in your hands.
Mirabell: (looks back at Crystal and confidently point her index finger to herself) Trust me Crystal,it will work out. Just trust my blessed speech.
Mirabell reached her hand to the door handle to pull the door open,but Crystal quickly stopped her with her two hands. Mirabell turns to face Crystal in utter confusion.
Mirabell: Crystal, what's up? Why have you stopped me from opening the door?
Crystal: ( Retreats her hands and place them on her back. She faces down on the crimson fur carpet of the hallway. In a soft shaky tone,she genuinely admits what is on her mind) To be honest Mirabell, l really see no hope in this we are planning. Father has never let me out of his sight ever since I was young.
Mirabell:(she softens and holds Crystal by the shoulders making her look back at her) l really get you Crystal. Uncle Cyrus has never let you out of his sight and l can testify to that for l have witnessed it ever since l arrived here. l remember the first day l came here up to now, he has never let you out of his sight.
Crystal: And that's why l am really sure he will not allow our request.
Mirabell: Crystal, stop looking at the negative side of your situation. Let's hope for the best, right.
Crystal :( she confidently accepts putting all her doubts aside) Right, he will accept.
They softly opened the wide doors of them room. The environment felt completely different from the world. The furniture was well vanished like the work of an ancient carpenter. A large grand chandelier well positioned in the middle of the room. A cold yet calm voice welcomed the two girls.
Cyrus: What brings you to my office, girls.
His tone was firm making Crystal and Mirabell have second thoughts about their suggestion. Cyrus was a man in his late adulthood. His white hair and wrinkled forehead told it all about him that he was one who had to now depend on young blood. But yet his spirit was showing signs of never stopping until his final breath. He sat face fixed on his laptop.
Mirabell and Crystal: Good morning uncle..........father.
Mirabell:( steps forward with pure determination in her lime green eyes) Uncle Cyrus. Like......you know that we are big girls now, right. We are both twenty years old, no longer need a lot of parental tension and most importantly, we require freedom without a question from anyone.
Cyrus:( senses where their conversation will end so he closes his laptop and faces the two girls) Hmmmmmmmm, true. So your...(Mirabell doesn't allow him to finish up his sentence)
Mirabell:( Her tone fast enough to rival lightning) We are really requesting to allow us to leave this mansion even if it's just for only one day, we will be grateful.
Cyrus:( he maintains his calm demeanor and looks at Crystal who becomes rigid at his gaze) So you say that you want to leave the mansion, the two of you.
Mirabell and Crystal:(There eyes full of longing)Yes, we do.
Cyrus:(Sighs heavily making the girls' adrenaline increases rapidly) Okay, it's fine. Nobody has been or is stopping you from leaving. Nevertheless doing as you please.
Crystal:(she feels as if she's in a dream she doesn't want to wake up from) Like for real,Father. You're really letting us go flawlessly like that.
Cyrus:(Walks forward to her casting a shadow upon her delicate small frame)Yes, l am. Just like that my princess.
Crystal: I thought that you would never allow me to ever leave your sight even at arms-distance. It really feels like a dream.
Cyrus:(Chuckles softly as he pats her head) I know, it really has to feel that way. By then, you're too young to care for yourself. l was scared of ever losing you, but as you said, you are big girls now. l don't want to keep you away from the life you yarn for. Feel free to go anywhere you please.
Mirabell:(Her eyes light up with excitement that knew no bounds) Uncle Cyrus, are you really sure? Anywhere we please.
Cyrus: Yes Mirabell, anywhere.
Crystal: Thank you father. We shall take our leave.
With that said, the two girls exited Cyrus' office joyously trying to agree what their first destination will be.
