As Kaminari looked up to find out what the source of the voice was, or more properly - who the source of the voice was, she suddenly noticed that there was more light in the place than there was before. Now, within the glowing pillars that surrounded her, Kaminari noticed little glowing orbs of light within each. Swiftly, one orb flew down from the centre, and sat right before Kaminari, who backed up in fear. As she trembled, she then jumped, at the feeling of something touching her back. Worried, she turned back - to find out that there was yet, even more to find within this crazy place. Before Kaminari could scream at the bloody sight, that rivalled every other fear to man, the being who had laid his fingers upon her spoke - “Be not afraid.” he informed her, as she took deep breaths in and out. As her sanity began to return to her through these long inhales and exhales, and Kaminari finally began to take in the scale of this dimension, she came to realise something. For some reason, that phrase sounded familiar - ‘but, why?’ she asked herself, trying to remember where else she had heard it before. As Kaminari stood like an idiot, the remembrance and memory popped back into her little head. “Ah, I know!” she accidentally shouted aloud. Now, pointing at the creature, who was six-winged, she screamed - “You - You are a Seraph!”. The Seraph flapped its wings in great strength, and particles of light flew across the area. “I learned about you.” Kaminari stated as she dodged the particles. “But - if I remember correctly, you’re supposed to cover your body?” she then said as she found a slab of floating light, and sat on it with her legs crossed.
The Seraph viewed down upon Kaminari. “That is so - but only so, in the presence of the Lord. It is for that case, that we must cover our bodies, in modesty - and our eyes from his light.” he told Kaminari, who smiled after such was stated. “I understand now.” Kaminari said cuteley, before standing up. “Are you the one who was supposed to help me?” she asked, struggling to balance. “No, just a helper and assistant.” the Seraph responded, before covering his body. Kaminari looked away, then back at the Seraph. “Is the Lord here?” she asked. The Seraph wobbled a bit. “No - but he’s coming.” he stated, before shooting out a pillar of light. The pillar of light went straight to Kaminari, and lifted her up to him - right on his right shoulder. “Woah!” Kaminari shouted - “That was… Unexpected!” she said, before the light increased in the place. “Oof.” she moaned as she turned the other way around. “Tis, I - the Lord of the Jin.” the voice called out, shaking the whole place. “Amazing…” Kaminari said quietly, before the Lord came twice - “One must hope that Kaminari has arrived to arranged events.” he spoke. Kaminari nodded to herself. “Mhm, yes sir!” she shouted back, as wind somehow blew through the space. “So,” the Lord stated a thrice time - “I’ve heard that you spoketh of a struggle.”.
Kaminari, still looking away, nodded just like before. “That’s true. I don’t know where to go.” she said. Thus, for a quarce, the Lord talked to Kaminari. “Then we shall commit to a test.” he ordered, before Kaminari heard what she could only describe as - “The sound of light.”.
Out of nowhere, a holographic display appeared before Kaminari that was acquainted with many different questions, all of which ranged from politics on the current Tera, that Kami knew nothing about at all. Luckily though, after Kaminari got the hang of how the technology worked, she was able to find out that she could click on the various aspects of it. When she clicked on the name ‘Margaret Thatcher’ for example, it led to a book about said lady. The book reading menu also contained an option to skim through the book, save it to a library, or even get an automatic summary of it. Soon, alongside her own political decisions, and moral compass, with the books as an aid - Kaminari was dashing through the test, and the Seraph gave off a warm sensation. “This must mean that I’m doing good!” Kaminari said to herself, as she approached a question about geography. When she clicked on the country name, she was able to see a large map that soon zoomed in on the country, named Brazil. Later, the feature even worked when Kaminari clicked on a country named Sierra Leone. When on these country study sections, Kaminari could see plenty. “Sierra Leone, or Salone as it is commonly abbreviated to - is the name of a small country located on the coast of West Africa. Here, the cultural and ethnic backgrounds are large, as many people there come from various different tribes. The most common language of Sierra Leone is Krio, and the money ( currency ) system is titled the Leone.” read one little banner under the flag. At the bottom, Kaminari saw something titled - ‘timeline’. When she scrolled through the timeline, and played around with it, she found that it showed her information about Sierra Leone, from different points in time.
After a while of fun, Kaminari completed the test, and the screen disintegrated into bits before her eyes. “Oh!” Kaminari said, as she caught some of the bits of data, before looking over the Seraph. “My Lord is reviewing your work.” he informed Kaminari, who smiled a bit. “I see.” she said happily. “I hope I did good.” she then said. The Seraph emitted a vast amount of warmth, just like how he had done earlier whilst Kaminari was working on the test. “While we’re waiting - would you like to speak?” asked the Seraph. Kaminari yawned. “Yes, please. Tell me about the test system - how it works!” she asked.

The Seraph seemed happy, as it moved. “That little neat piece of technology was known as a holographic display. “ he informed Kaminari. “Back on Tera, a long way past your timeline, humans have harnessed electricity - and used it to form basic appliances. It started with adapting our current traditional ones, such as lights, but we soon started to develop unique things. As you probably saw earlier, we worked on the screen. The screen was first available on something known as a TV which would just receive signals, and output them. But soon, we designed the computer, which could do work, and let the user interact with the programme. Thus, over time - computers became personal devices, capable of playing online games, and connecting to something named ‘The Internet.’. The internet was an interconnected web of information - allowing for people to message from place to place. Soon, they developed the smartphone. With this, you could call using the internet, and send letters through it. While computers were big, and bulky, smartphones were small. Soon, the Jin, or, humans as they called themselves, began working on smaller and smaller screen based technology. Then, they worked on thinner and thinner. From there, they designed them to be flexible. First, was the flexible keyboard, or a grid of letters for typing on a computer - but then, they designed the flexible screen. A while after, they designed basic circuits, or pieces that make devices work, that were flexible. A long time after - they became commercial in the basic way, and soon, popular. But they had their own flaws, that wouldn’t be solved for quite the while. Finally, a good unit came out, and everyone spoke of how the phone was now old - but then, people wanted even better technology - ones that didn’t exist. For a long time, they proposed transparent technology. They spoke of it again, and hyped it up, but it never came. Instead, they continued to work on another piece of technology they had developed in the past, known as VR - or Virtual Reality. But, VR failed, and lead t-” Kaminari was called upon by the Lord. “Erm.” she responded, quite frightened by him. “Yes, Lord!” she then shouted, as his light increased.
Kaminari didn’t get a response. Instead, a watch appeared on her arm. “That is a digital watch.” the Seraph informed. “Unlike a regular watch, which is a portable and small version of a clock - the digital watch is worn like a regular watch, and can tell the time in an easier way, but allows for much more information.”. He then added.
Kaminari tapped at it. The watch was white, with some light blue areas across it.
“So, what does this one do?” Kaminari asked. The Seraph shrugged, before uncovering himself. “I have no idea.” he told Kaminari, as she fidgeted with it. Soon, the watch displayed a message on the screen - “Test Complete!” it told Kaminari. “Analysing…” it then read. Kaminari gasped. “A~. Automatic Synthesizing Machine!” she said with her natural Japanese accent. Kaminari gasped again, before covering her mouth. “That was your true mouth speaking.” said the Seraph, before the watch began beeping. Kaminari looked down, and smiled a great smile. To her fortune, the watch read “Great job, 100% accuracy.”.
Kaminari looked up at the Seraph, who was covering himself again. “I did complete!” she said happily, while jumping up and down. As she pranced, light came again, and blinded her. She turned around to avoid it.
“Oh, Kaminari,” the Lord declared, “You have passed!” he then said - “Your innocence has proved you worthy of Heaven, but I think you deserve Hell.” Kaminari jumped, and nearly fell backwards. “Eh? How, so?” she asked. The Lord glowed with joyful energy. “Not because you did bad, but because others did.” the Lord spoke. “I want you to go down there, and serve duty in a spiritual hospital - helping those who have commited sin, realise their potential to do good.”.
Kaminari smiled greatly, while her watch turned pink and grey, and as glowing wings grew from her back, and a halo appeared before her head. “I’m truly ready!” Kaminari said, as she began to float, while her outfit gained a separation between skirt and shirt, and a blue ribbon, just like Nainai’s appeared.
“So, are you sending her off like that? I’m afraid she’ll be hurt, my Lord.” the Seraph said. The Lord sent off great energy again. “That’s right.” he told the Seraph. “Hence, I send you off with her!” he called, as the Seraph folded off into a small marble, and fell down as if on Tera with gravity. Kaminari flew off and caught the Hikidama. “Hikidama Capture!” Kaminari giggled as she held it in her hand. “Now, what’ll I do - to go… there?” Kami asked the Lord, still not looking at him. “Open your hand,” the Lord spoke, “And with the watch, open a gate.” he ordered.
Kaminari listened, and used the watch to set a location, before holding her hand away from her body. Out of thin air, a purple laser shot down, and a portal opened.
With the marble in hand, Kaminari looked down, and smiled - “Off, I go!” she shouted as she descended down the hole, and into hell - to be a saviour to souls!
