-Flashback-

Years in the past, Zen and his brothers were children living in their father's castle in the Demon World, which he reigns over as the Demon King.

Zen is playing chess with Zaph in the living room. Zaph picks up a black marbled chess piece and places it on a different square.

"Checkmate!" Zaph said.

Zen frowns slightly. Losing makes him mildly irritated.

A female servant walks into the room.

"Zen, the King wants you to meet in his study." She said.

"Okay..."

Zen approaches the door to the study. He takes a deep breath. He opens the door and enters.

"Sit." The Demon King said.

The study has many books on shelves, like a library. The interior is classic and Baroque style. The book shelves are brown, wooden, and ornately carved. It is full of a wide variety of thick books, organized very well. Furthest into the room is a grandiose wooden desk, which faces the door. The desk chair is turned facing the other way. In front of the desk is a seating area with an elegant sofa, two armchairs, and a coffee table in between them. Zen sits on the sofa nervously, with his head down.

"Your grades have been poor lately. Lowest of everyone. Even your training has been inadequate. Although... I have heard recently you have a talent for art. Apparently you've been drawing and painting humans. Don't tell me you have an infatuation with them." The Demon King said.

"No..." Zen said.

"Right... that would be stupid. You don't want to be stupid, right?"

"I don't..." Zen said.

"Do well and you will be rewarded. You can go now." The Demon King said.

Zen decided to spend more time studying, reading, and practicing magic. He seldom left his room, as he felt most comfortable alone. His intellect and magic increased over the years, but he seemed depressed.

"Father is sending me and Seph to the human world again." Zaph said.

"Why doesn't he ever let me go..." Zen said.

"I don't know, maybe because you liked them as a kid. Father hates that." Zaph said.

Zen went back to his room.

Years went by.

Zen was called into the living room by his father. His brothers were there as well. Zen sits on the sofa, looking uninterested.

"I'm sending all of you to attend school in the Human World. I think it will be a good opportunity to observe them. You will need to blend in with them as humans of course. Also, be friendly with them. Understood?"

Zen looked surprised that he was going as well.

"Be friendly with them? Why is he saying that?" Zen thought.

-End of flashback-

Angelina and Zen are in the living room playing chess. Zen picks up a white marbled chess piece and places it on a square.

"Checkmate." Zen said.

"Oh." Angelina said.

A tall young man with blonde hair and red eyes walks into the living room. He plops onto the sofa behind Zen and looks over to Angelina.

It's Seph! Zen's eldest brother. I remember him from the game. I think he was a fan favourite.

"Huh... why is her kind here?" He said.

"She's a friend from school." Zen said.

"Oh... When father said to be friendly with them, did you take that seriously? Hahaha..." Seph laughed.

Zen looks annoyed. He gets up from his chair and Seph quickly sits down in it.

"What are you doing?" Zen asked.

"I want to play a game with her." Seph said.

Zen looks irritated.

"Actually, I have to go home now, it is almost 8pm." Angelina said.

Angelina gets up from the chair and walks behind Zen to go to the front door. All of a sudden, Seph walks towards Angelina and hugs her from behind. Angelina is surprised and stops. Zen stops and looks behind.

"I think I should be friendly with her too." Seph said.

Seph laughs a little. Zen pulls Angelina away from him and they resume walking.

Angelina exits the front door and walks home.

"Zen, you have a phone call." A female servant said.

Zen picks up the phone. It's his father.

"Zen, I'm holding that ball on April 10 this year. The past few years you just stayed in your room and didn't attend. Now that you're older, I want you to come and make some connections with people. Also, I heard that you made a friend with a human girl. Bring her. I would like to meet her. Make sure she comes, okay?"

"Yes..." Zen said.

"I'd rather not, but it's not worth going against him. He'll probably try to turn her into a witch or something." Zen thought.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ༺☆༻ * :･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Angelina and Zen are sitting on the roof in their usual spot during lunch break at school.

“Hey when’s your birthday?” Angelina asked.

“April 5th.” Zen said.

“Mine is October 8th.” Angelina said.

His birthday is coming up soon. I remember it from his character profile in the game. I should give him a birthday present.

“My father is throwing some sort of party and he wants me to invite you. Can you come?” Zen said.

“When is it?”

“April 10th.”

“What kind of party? I wonder what I should wear~”

"It's a stupid ball he holds every year as a social gathering. I don't like going, but this year he's insisting I go."

"A ball?! That sounds amazing! I wanna go~"

A ball reminds me of the fairy tales in my home world. I get to wear a fancy dress. Yay.

“You'll need a dark formal dress.”

“Why dark?”

“If you wear something light like white you'll stand out too much.”

“Oh…”

School ended, Angelina is at home and laying in her bed.

Am I making any progress? I haven't found anything significant. They are all acting similar to how they are in the game. Although, they aren't interacting with Rosalina much. She is usually hanging out with Daniel at school.

The next day Angelina goes over to Zen's house. She and Zen are eating snacks and drinking tea in the living room. On the table is a tea set with a teapot, teacups, and saucers. The teacups are white with a colourful floral design and gold painted at the rims. Angelina has green tea in her teacup. She picks it up and takes a sip.

"You don't put sugar or milk in your tea?" Zen asked.

"No--" Angelina said.

All of a sudden Zaph and Levi come rushing in with a long engraved box.

“You guys. You’ll never guess what we got.” Zaph said.

“We got the Holy Sword!” Levi said.

Seph appears.

“What? For real?” Seph said.

“Yeah!” Levi said.

“Let me see it.” Seph said.

Seph tries to hold and pick it up, but the sword won’t budge.

“Doesn’t this sword choose who can use it or something? Maybe that’s why it’s not moving.” Levi said.

Zen sighs.

“It’s too loud here, let’s go.” Zen said to Angelina.

"Okay." Angelina said.

As she starts walking the sword levitates and flies towards her. It stops and levitates in front of her with it's blade pointing towards to ground.

“The sword is levitating!” Angelina said.

Zen pulls her arm to keep walking. The sword follows Angelina.

“Wait. It’s following us.” Angelina said to Zen.

“Actually, I think it’s just following you.” Zaph said.

Angelina grabs the handle and lifts it.

“How can you wield it?!” Seph said.

“Ahh this is heavy.” Angelina said.

She puts it down.

“You guys should return it." Angelina said.

She starts walking but the sword follows her everywhere she goes. Levi tries to grab it but it moves away. The sword goes behind Angelina’s back then disappears leaving a blue after image right before.

“It disappeared!” Levi said.

“Where did it go?” Zaph said.

“I don’t know!” Levi said.

“After all that trouble we went through to get it…” Zaph said.

✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* ༺☆༻ * :･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Angelina sits on the sofa in her room.

“What are you?”

Angelina stood up as she was startled by the sound of an unknown man's voice. The man starts walking into her bedroom from the balcony. He has long grey hair that is tied in a single braid. His eyes are navy blue. In an instant he lunged forward and started choking Angelina.

“You're ruining the plan. You must be eliminated.”

“What… plan…” Angelina said.

“They're going to breed Nephilim. According to my foresight, your existence is hindering that.”

Angelina reaches for his forehead to put him to sleep, but he grabs her hand. He releases a pastel green mist from his hands and Angelina starts feeling drowsy and disoriented. He then steps away and lifts his right hand above his head, conjuring some magic. He quickly brings down his hand, pointing towards Angelina. Black chains appear, rushing towards her. then start wrapping around her body. Her body is tied in the chains and she is immobilized. Angelina can hardly think straight or move. She sits quietly on the ground chained up. The man conjures more magic in his hand and sets the room on fire. He then walks out to the balcony and flies away.

Angelina panics. She struggles to move.

All of a sudden, the Holy Sword appears levitating in front of her. The sword moves on it own, and in a quick swipe, the chains are cut. The chains quickly fell off of Angelina's body and she's able to move more freely. She wobbles over to the balcony and puts her hand on the balustrade. She is about to turn into her angel form to fly away but then she hears a voice. She looks down.

“Angelina!”

It's Zen. He is standing below the balcony. His face looks worried.

Ah! I can't fly away now. He'll see my angel form. What do I do?

Suddenly Zen flies up to the balcony with black wings on his back. Angelina falls to her knees as she gets even more disoriented from the mist. Zen picks her up in his arms and flies away with her. As they're flying, she looks up at him and Zen looks down back at her. Her eyes slowly close and she blacks out.
