(PROLOGUE)
11 years ago...
May 28th, year 387 Post Barrier (P.B.)
In a small, renovated apartment northwest of Yonaga City, by far the wealthiest city in all of Japan, a married couple was apparently arguing over something really important.
(Male) ???- I told you to stop, but you wouldn't listen...
(Female) ???- It's not my fault. You wanted this didn't you?
(Male) ???- I was just following your steps Aria. I didn't know it would turn out like this...
Aria- If somebody learns about this, we're screwed Aldrich.
Aldrich- Yeah, I know... We'll have to flee to England again...
Aria- Let's just keep it a secret then and never tell anyone.
Aldrich- I guess have a point...
A year later... (388 P.B.)
Aldrich- What are you doing Aria? You have to drop the baby. It's much too dangerous!
Aria- I can't do as you please ALDRICH... I WON'T LISTEN TO YOU AGAIN!
Aldrich- What's gotten into you lately? You're acting so weird..
Aria- HUH? YOU'RE TELLING ME TO GIVE UP ON MY BABY'S LIFE AND YOU THINK "I" AM OUT OF MY MIND?
Aldrich- Don't you remember, though? We both agreed not to bear that child... That's why I'm saying this. You do remember what happened Then... It's not safe...
Aria- YOU'RE GETTING ON MY NERVES... DO YOU KNOW THAT?
Aldrich- Aria, please, calm down and lets talk it through.
Aria- WE'VE TALKED ENOUGH YOU MOTHERFU—
Aldrich- NO ARIA PLEASE! YOU MUST NOT LOSE CONTROL NOW!
And at that moment, Aldrich's scream echoed through the hallway. He felt a sensation similar to being stabbed. The last word that came from his mouth was the name of his wife, Aria...
But Aria was not overwhelmed by remorse nor by sadness. On the other hand, the sinister aura around Aria intensified in strength. A truly unprecedented event. She had only one thought in mind. To bare the baby...
And that's when Humanity commited its greatest sin. I will never forget that day, when that baby was born. And now—
Chapter 1
*DRRN DRRGN DRRN* The sound of an alarm reverberated through a girl's room...
???- (YAWN) Ohhh I slept in again... Fucking hell...
She was a slender 16 year-old-girl with long straight white hair and a pair of charming indigo eyes. Her pale white skin contrasted the colour of her eyes and the small hearts she wears as earrings gave off a splendid aura. Remarkably beautiful would not fully describe her.. well... were she dressed up and ready that is, because at the moment, she's in her pajamas with her hair all over the place...
She FINALLY got up and put on a school uniform, while trying to brush her teeth at the same time. Even though she is known for her fast paced movement, she appears to be late for her first day at school, east of Yonaga city.
And on top of that, she couldn't find her scool bag anywhere. After a thorough search of her room, however, she found it right next to her desk—the most obvious place you can find a school bag.
???- Oh! Here it is... Alright—
(Texting to her best friend that she is late..) *Tap *Tap *Tap Nice!
Male Voice - Yonuro! You forgot your lunch!
Yonuro - Oh yeah, thanks dad! Sorry, but I'm late. See you after school!
She quickly started riding her bike at maximum speed, so that she could go pick up her friend, Samei, on time. The morning breeze was a bit too cold for the outfit she was wearing, thus making her whole body shiver. Samei 's was a bit far away from Yonuro's and until she gets there, It should take a while... But she arrived at her destination.
Yonuro- 'Morning, Samei!
Samei is the famous computer genious, whose imagination and creativity are really admirable. That's also why she loves creating small gadgets and spending time with her laptop.
What's more, she has a pair of light blue eyes and wears glasses. Her hair is more often than not tied to a ponytail and its golden color makes her shine even more.
Samei- Good morning Yonuro, how's it goin'?
Yonuro - Nothing out of the ordinary, but generally good. What about you?
Samei- Well, I've started up sewing, as a hobby you see and I'm loving it! It's so interesting.
Yonuro- That's awesome Samei! Well, I haven't found anything interesting to do in a while now... Just the good old nothing-to-do list. Anyways, get ready!!
When Samei got on the bike, Yonuro applied the necessary pressure on the pedals so that the speed of the bike reached its highest possible value again.
8:20 AM Teknalb High School
After hastily leaving the bike in the school parking spot, Yonuro and Samei ran towards the entrance hall. When they got in, they were out of breath and panting heavily.

Yonuro- We made it just in time!
Samei gulped, wiped her sweat with a handkerchief and said "That was a close one, indeed".
Before getting in the classrooms, the board of announcements was presented to the students. It had all the information a student needs. Which class they are assigned to, who their classmates are, timetables and so on and so forth.
Samei- I hope we're on the same class!
Yonuro- Mhm! so do I. Well, let's see.... Ahhh, I cant really see from over here, It's so fucking crowded...
The moment Yonuro said that , Samei had found a chair, stepped on it and used her "sharp" vision to make out the announcements...
She put her right hand under her mouth covering her chin, narrowed her lips as if she were about to kiss someone, closed her eyes slightly, raised her eyebrows and made a thinking sound.
Samei- Hm... Oh, no... you re in class 2-B whereas I'm in 2-A...
Yonuro made a troubled face.
Yonuro- Oh... what do we do now?! (...)
She was gripped by pessimism and was worried about the future. However, Samei found a wonderful way to comfort her.
Samei- It's gonna be alright! You'll find a good friend to talk with while we're apart. I'm not really sure what gender they might be but I'm confident that they'll provide good company.
Yonuro- Thank you, Samei... Well I would say the same for you, but you are already extremely popular for... um...(momentarily loses eye contact)... obvious reasons, haha... so, I hope you get along with your new friends!
Samei- Thanks, Yonuro!
A few minutes later, the ringing of a bell resounded in the entire school . It was time for everyone to enter their classrooms to get to know their classmates as well as their teachers.
However, Yonuro was being left out. She didn't find anyone to talk to and she would just look out of the window in complete silence... The others suspected that she was depressed and introverted. As a result, they didn't want to talk to her.
When the class ended and they were about to return home, Samei noticed that Yonuro was down. "Probably about not finding somebody to talk during the lesson", she thought.
She then patted Yonuro's shoulder and said "Don't worry. Believe in yourself and you'll find someone for sure!" After that, they exchanged goodbyes and parted ways to their respective houses.
Chapter 2
As she was walking home, Yonuro was in a bad mood. She was really immersed in thought and almost missed the door of her own house.
After walking up the stairs and opening the door, a beautiful, tall figure entered Yonuro's field of view. Her hair had the same snowy white color as her, but her eyes were different. They were filled with a darker hue of pink in comparison to Yonuro's indigo colored eyes. That figure calling her "honey"was undoubtedly her mother, Kanae Tokiyama.
Yonuro - I'm home...
Yonuro's mother- Oh, hey honey! How was your first day of the school year?
Yonuro- Well... Nothing out of the ordinary...
Yonuro's mother- 'ey Yonuro, is everything alright? You seem a bit down.
Yonuro shook her head in denial and reassured Kanae.
Yonuro- I'm just tired, that's all...
Yonuro's mother- Are you sure..?
Yonuro- Yeah, I'll just go sleep the fucking day off... Ha hah...
Yonuro's mother- Okay.. But get up before 19:00. You have a lot to take care of for your school preparations!
Yonuro - Fine...
And with that, the door separating Yonuro and her mother closed shut and Yonuro got in her room.
It was a fairly spacious room with sound proof walls. Flowers and stars could be seen around every corner. The room's dominant color was pink and not even a scratch could be noticed on the walls, as Yonuro is obsessed with cleaning and her room is really tidy and pretty.
Her books were piled up neatly on her old wooden desk, where she usually studies, next to which was an old digital piano that she used to play back in the day. On the opposite corner of the room, there was a beautiful single bed, which was made meticulously and with utter care.
Yonuro really loves cute things and as such, her room was filled with cute animal plushies. On her bed, her desk, the side of her discarded piano, they were everywhere! Her bed was also stunning as it was bathed in lots of different colors, like blue, pink or even purple. For the month of September, it sure had a lot of blankets aparently...
Yonuro put off her shoes and placed her bag next to her desk. She then, sat on her elegant bed, grabbed her adorable plushies and leaned back while hugged them. She was soon asleep.
A unique dream then started materializing...
???- Don't worry Yonuro. I am here for you. You will live. Remember the power you hold. The power I gave you. Believe in your strength!
"Okay, Ramael. Give it your all. We're doing this!"
Yonuro - AHHH, What? Where am I? What on earth was that? Who was I talking to?
Awoken from her slumber, she realized that this peculiar dream was one of a kind and apparently really important... It was by then 6pm and she needed to buy the necessary items for the upcoming school year.
As she was trying to relax and keep it together after such a weird occurance, a familiar voice then hit her eardrums hard
Kanae- YONURO!!! Are you still in bed?! Wake up already! You have a lot to do!
Yonuro- Okaaay... I know...
She got up from her bed and even though baffled by what happened, she made her hair, put on some clothes, ate the lunch she was supposed to eat a few hours ago and left off for the shops.
While wandering around in Yonaga City in order to find the bookstore, she was deeply thinking about that dream. She wouldn't pay much attention to her surroundings, and then... Something strange happened.
The bright sun shining upon her vanished. She was not under a building or a tree you see, but there was shadow that blocked the sun's radiant rays. And then she realised the reason for it all.
A mysterious object reached her field of view from above falling slowly until it reached the ground. Scared as she was, Yonuro took a step back, but on second notice she decided to get a better look on the item or...
Yonuro- ?!
The only question she could think of was "What is that thing I'm observing?"
It was an elegant, transparent, softly purple piece of clothing or cloak of some sort. It was like something out of this world. It gave off a mysterious aura that left her dumbfounded. It was surely something else...
Yonuro is really excited and curious about new things she finds, therefore, she didn't leave things there...
She sluggishly moved her hand, approaching the object hesitantly but steadily. And then something she never expected, happened just before her eyes.
She was shocked and her consciousness was hurting or ... changing?
Everything started to go black and she lost consciousness. After coming around, she heard a voice talking to her.
???- Ugh... What happened? Where's She...? I need to get back...
Yonuro was flabbergasted. The cloak had actually talked to her. When it realized that Yonuro was at a loss for words, it continued saying
???- Ah, hello there... Wait, WHAT?! Ehm, where am I or... I should better ask, WHAT am I?
Yonuro- I COULD ASK YOU THE SAME THING!
???- Hm, I see... It's like that, indeed. Okay, first things first... May I ask for your name?
Yonuro- Yo—Yonuro is my name, but d—do you at any chance have a name? Is that even· possible?
???- Nice to meet you Yonuro. And yes, I do have a name. I had a name to be precise...
Yonuro- You had? So, what happened?
???- It's a bit complicated, but do call me Ramael.
Yonuro- Alright then, Ramael. I need to ca—calmly ask you a few things.
HOW ARE YOU ALIVE? WHY CAN I TALK TO A CLOAK? AM I INSANE?
Ramael- No you are not. I'll explain the basics.
I am an Angel from another world. More like I was... We Angels have distinct powers, offering us unimaginable abilities, in our Angelic Veils. These Veils are the source of our powers and those who are affiliated with them are called Angels (Bearers).
But as you can see now, I am an Angel no more... Apparently, that Girl assulted me while doing my duty as an Angel and tore my Angelic Veil off. I was really attached to it and, as it seems, a part of my soul has merged itself with my Angelic Veil.
In other words I, the Angel Ramael, had my soul split into two halves, the one of which is currently in my veil, the very thing you see in front of you right now... The other half still remains at my Angelic body in that other world, called the Lingering world.
Confused as she was, Yonuro had a hard time making sense of Ramael's explanation.
Yonuro- Err, what ? I get the part about the cloak but... What's with the soul? Pardon?
Ramael- Whatever, it doesn't really matter. You'll get used to it eventually because henceforth, we are connected...
Yonuro- What do you mean by connected? Will I have you around from now on?!
Ramael- Something like that... Look Yonuro, Angelic Veils get attached to people and become one with them. Therefore, the blackout you sensed, when you first touched me, was the begining of our bond.
Yonuro- But, It will be hella troublesome... Can others hear you? or is it just me?
Ramael- Well, you are the only person who can hear me, because I'm talking to you through our bond. But if somebody else touches me, then they will be able to hear me. The only problem is that I am indeed visible to anyone that might approach you. So, good luck with that...
Yonuro- (...) What should I do now...? Why me?
Ramael- I didn't know it would turn out like this... Normally, any intruder is repelled at once should they get close to one of the four Holy Shrines, where we Angels serve our duty. But, that Girl... How was she able to pass through all of the Lingerian guards and attack me?
Ramael deeply sighed before continuing.
Ramael- Whatever happened there, we need to get back...
Yonuro- Hm, I understand. I hope I will be of some help in your purpose which um, seems rather special.
Ramael- Yeah, I hope we work well together, Yonuro...
