Meanwhile, Gabriela’s body slowly appeared outside. She walked back-and-forth mumbling angry words. She felt nervous and outraged, foreign feelings to her neutral self. Meika appeared behind her. Gabriela stopped and looked back at him. “What happened? What did Harut do exactly?”
She looked at him and sighed. “You wouldn’t believe the catastrophe Harut did.” Anki and Mariat appeared behind them as well. She walked over and told them to follow her. They went to another room like the one they were in before but with nothing inside. She looked at Meika and said, “Harut crossed the line.”
Meika frowned and said, “What do you mean?”
Gabriela sighed and looked defeated, “He felt greediness… he was on a quest to vouch for a human’s destiny for foreseeing the future, but he seized it to himself, and he received a vision…”
“What! How?!” Anki asked.
“He saw the end of everything, human worlds, and ours… he saw a human soul having the power of the Sacred Heart.”
Anki gasped and said, “How would a human get such a great destiny?”
Meika peered at Gabriela and said, “The power of the heart is greater than any world. It cannot be under their control.”
“The heart will drive them mad; it will turn them into monsters. They would get even more powerful and destroy their world and then ours,” Gabriela said.

“We must stop them! We must prevent the heart from merging with them,” Mariat said.
“We cannot, we must not meddle in human destiny! It will destroy the balance between their world and ours,” Anki said loudly.
Meika watched Gabriela clenching her fists together, looking like it was about to bleed, yet no drop of blood got out of her shiny pure hands. He felt her striking confusion filling her clear eyes. “What happened Gabriela?” she looked at him, slightly shocked by his sudden question.
She looked at the rest, then sighed again and said, “It is dangerous that humans would get such great power when Harut seized the power of foreseeing. I felt it and saw what he saw. It is the end of our world, divines will get slaughtered and erased from existence,”— she removed her hood and walked away, and a transparent glass chair formed from within the lightness of the room.
She sat on it, other chairs appeared behind each of them, and they didn’t break eye contact with her while sitting as well — “after the vision ended, I summoned him, I was furious that he did such a crime, but what we saw changed something in me, I know we are not created to question the order of life but… what if this time we must do otherwise.”
“Are you saying we must meddle? Gabriela, this is not right! We must not interfere with their world,” Anki sternly said.
“We don’t have any other choice,” Harut voice’s filled the room. They looked behind Gabriela where Harut walked inside. He didn’t have any chains on him. He sat on a chair that appeared beside Gabriela. “We must change our destiny.”
“Changing destiny! How you lost your mind!” Anki said. Gabriela looked torn and almost lost between both. She knew Anki was right, yet she couldn’t stop the foreign anxiousness that crept into her soul that proved Harut’s actions.
“Do you want us to wait for the sacred heart to bind into a weak human soul who will use it to destroy their worlds and ours?” Harut said, staring at Anki’s clear eyes. “There will be no balance to keep.”
