The keeper came in rushing through the door looking snobbish as always Zeraphiel just rolled his eyes because he knew the keeper better than anyone and no was as prideful as he was..How did he even become an angel when he has so much pride??only God knows..The keeper started walking around aimlessly in class with his head held up high,scanning the room as if looking for a culprit while slowly stroking his white beard..when he got to Luthiel's corner..he started sniffing and everyone knew trouble has started...He walked slowly to his desk and stood still for a while.."Does anyone here know why I'm called the keeper.."No one answered..
Not because they were scared it's just..they've heard the story for a million times and were tired of him always talking about it..they thought if they all kept quiet he'd stop talking about it but nope.He still had to talk about it.."It's because I was once a keeper of the lost.ooh those good old days when I found lost souls and disciplined them properly..I would let them run away and wait for the perfect time..and when they thought they had escaped..I would track them down and drag them back to Hell."He was a soul keeper in hell known as Vorgath and one day he suddenly just popped up in heaven ..apparently hunting down evil souls and bringing them back to hell was a good deed so that's how he made it to heaven ,he seemed satisfied with the life he lived but seemed to enjoy torturing the angels ways too much..everyone always wondered how he was still in heaven with the ego he had.."Ooh those good old days.. "He started to give Luthiel the death stared" What makes you think I can't smell those seed you have there?.." .Luthiel seemed to panick but didn't want to show it"What seed??"He was terrified of the keeper ever since he took one kid and showed him hell but if he admitted to stealing the seeds,the punishment might be more severe..
The keeper didn't bother asking anymore questions ,he just took out the seeds where they were hidden..The class stayed silent not one person said a thing Zeraphiel found the perfect excuse to get into trouble and out of class.."I took them!!"all eyes were on him 'the troublemaker' he was known by the whole class for always causing trouble,but mostly for always taking the blame for others..the keeper was livid"So if it was you ,come with me Mr.."He got up and followed the keeper and when he passed by Luthiel his head was bowed to say thank you for causing him trouble..
They got to the atonement room and he was expecting the usual punishment like recording the heavenly deeds or Listening duty to mortals prayer which were torture to him in each and every way or atleast guarding the holy relics but this time he was wrong..very wrong..
The keeper got inside the atonement room for the longest time and came out looking like a madman and talking like one too"I cannot believe it ,i have been blessed.."He was holding his hands up high as if praising but what?Zeraphiel did not know..his name was suddenly called and he got in having no interest in what was to be said...
He sat down waiting for judgment to take place but none came instead the Dean chair did not move nor did it face him "uhmm so what's going on am I getting punished or what??"No one answered him ,the chair suddenly turned to face him and he saw a new face"Okay..you must be the new dean right??where did Dean Lumthar go??"An old blind man was sitting on the old dean's chair ,he didn't answer Zeraphiel but instead asked his own questions.."Why do you keep doing this to yourself??Do you not wish to stay here?."Zeraphiel was confused but didn't hesitate to answer "Well I do it because I want to.."The old man looked tired as if he'd been dealing with Zeraphiel for a long time and had no idea what to do or say anymore"Does it not bother you?you're such a young and capable angel but you waste your time playing silly pranks on others and causing problems for others..when will you let go of this behavior of yours."Zeraphiel was just suprised at the kind of question the old man was asking "It's not like you've been here to see what's going on..maybe if I was loved like all the other angels here I wouldn't be like this..If he had loved me enough to see me as an equal to the other angels..maybe I would have turned out fine."The old man just sighed"But he loves all of us equally why do you not trust that??"Zeraphiel just got angry and got up"Just because he showed you love does not mean he did the same for me!!."He was angry and couldn't hold himself.
In his mind all he asked himself was,what kind of father is he?why is he prejudiced against his own children"Sometimes I even wonder if I'm one of his own or maybe he just dragged me from hell..maybe he felt sorry for me and just took me and made me stay here...he loves those mortals more than he could ever love me!!!!"One could tell that Zeraphiel was on the verge of tears..the old man pulled out a long blank white paper and gave it Zeraphiel"Here!!"He took it and saw it was blank and just raised his eyebrows"That's something I'm entrusting to you..You shall go to the mortal realm to retrieve a relic that was stolen a few moons ago..I was going to give it to the watchers but I think it fits you perfectly!!"Zeraphiel could not belive his ears if there was one thing he hated more than anything was mortals and he was being sent there"No, I'm not going.."The old man just stared at him for a while "Yes you are,that is a judgment handed out to you by the almighty himself..so you will go."He thought the old man was joking and didn't take it seriously.
He went back to class and finished his day with the thought of just avoiding going to the mortal realm and just hiding for a few days and come back pretending he just couldn't achieve what he was ordered to do....it was time to sleep and he just layed there peacefully....
"Hey wake up!!!!Zeraphiel..Wake up!!!"He kept hearing a voice calling him from his sleep and the more he tried to avoid it ..the louder it got..it started to get a little cold and he tried to pull his blankets up but he felt nothing"Wake up!!For heavens sake please wake up!!"The voice started to get clearer and he realized it was Aemriel calling him but he was confused why he was cold..heaven was never cold so maybe God added a new condition to heaven or maybe he was getting another punishment "What!!I'm awake."..
"Ooh good you finally decided to wake up!!"Aemriel looked angry and when Zeraphiel opened his eyes,he realized why"Do you care to tell me why we're on earth?."
