It was a full moon at midnight. Three months have passed since the day Michael fell to the hands of Samuel. Samuel rises from the clouds as he soars the skies. Now in search of repairing broken spirits instead of collecting them now. He arrives to a cliff hanging off the side of a coast off of New York City where he sees multiple rocks, and on one of those rocks he sees what seems to be a couple talking to each other. He lands and sits down to rest for a few minutes until he sees the man run from the girl in the middle of the night. Samuel notices the mans spirit has now begun to shadow its color. He makes his way to the man running as he cries, in action, Samuel makes his way inside his spirit, he sees that the two persons have knows each other for quite some time, since childhood, and he has always liked her but, he never had the courage to finally make his move. He thought the moment was tonight. Samuel sympathizes with him until he arrives to a moment the day before in the boys' past.
"Hey are you going to go tomorrow night?" The boy asked out the girl. "Yeah I will wait he invited you too? No way, you have to come, you never go out with anybody, not even your own friends. Change it up sometimes, do something fresh for once. Please? For me?" The boy blushes as the girl pouts asking for him to come.
"Okay, fine, I'll go but, I'm asking my friend to come with me. I don't want to be entirely by myself you know?" The boys will broke and ended up coming. "Yes! Okay, I'll see you there. Bye bye!" She waved back as she happily hurried down a hallway.
They arrive to the woods in a party of six with 3 boys and girls, they split up with one girl and one boy. The boy asked the girl out and ultimately...
"Huh? I-I'm sorry, I didn't know you liked me like that. I, I don't know what to say... I think, I think I'm going to have to say no. There's exams coming up and I can't mess this up if I have to worry about another thing. I'm sorry, I really am..." The girl begins to cry as too the boy who began to sprint away.
Samuel sees the spirit at last as the boy stopped running and gasps for air. He grabs it and channels energy into it. Colors begin to form again, from red to blue and from black to white. It arrived to a pale blue sky, perfect for a boy who had to get this off of his chest. He couldn't go on much longer keeping his feelings imprisoned for so long, but even then knowing that these two have been together and yet the girl refused. The moon was high and he couldn't describe it. He just might die but, he feels so alive. Samuel looks at him and arrives back to his resting point.
"Wow, I'm sorry kiddo but, maybe another girl is better suited for you, there is plenty of fish in the sea. Even if you have known each other for so long and perhaps, even know what the other likes and everything about that. You still aren't compatible with each other. The differences man and woman focus on are such fleeting things, education, money, power, and love. Love is something we long for but may never get but, my philosophy is that, in this world, there is bound to be someone with the exact same interests as you. Good luck kid, may you let this be a lesson to you."
Samuel goes airborne again, this time heading back to Empyrean. He arrives to the mainland and sees the Archangels waiting for him in the usual room.
"Samuel!" Raphael called out as Samuel attempts to sneak past the group.
"Where do you think you're going? We still need to talk about the ceremony we are going to hold for Michael and Raguel, and Remiel, remember?" Sariel accuses him of neglecting his duties.
"I have not, it's just been busy."
"Busy? You have just been going sightseeing the past three months saying that there is an urgent international business meeting in New Angeles. You are no business man."

"Sariel is right, Samuel you have to do this or the people in the mainland city will start questioning your radiance." Gabriel added.
"Just do this so we can get this over with." Uriel uttered.
"Fine, we'll do the ceremony on... What day is it? I've lost track it seems."
"Its Friday."
"Sunday it is! Plan the ceremony and I shall attend for the beginning ceremony."
"Good, you better be there or else..." Uriel asserted her dominance.
Two days go by. The morning of Sunday, Samuel is nowhere to be found.
"Where is he!?" Uriel shouted at the other Archangels.
"We don't know, we all saw him go to bed remember? We don't wanna watch him sleep and get up all in one night right? That's just weird." Sariel replied.
"Do not fret Uriel, Samuel said he will be here, I know he may be unpredictable at times but, he still has a good heart. I think even you know too, he will be there. Now, let's go." Raphael declared.
The Archangels made there way to the Resting Garden or what the locals call The Garden of Eden, where the previous Archangels are resting from eons ago. There two coffins can be seen containing the remains of Michael and the two brothers, Raguel and Remiel. The Sages (servants for the Archangels and/or guards of the mainland city of Empyrean), raise the coffins onto the Garden. The Sages lay the coffins in there final resting place.
"May these Archangels know true peace now and forevermore... Samuel Gaia..." The Sages kneel as Samuel is supposed to be making his way to the coffins.
"Where is he...?" Raphael is flabbergasted. All of that believing and yet, Samuel is nowhere to be found. "He said he will most definitely be here-"
"Michael, Raguel, and Remiel were dealt with a fate none could control..." Samuel entered. "You see it was Michael who gave them their destined fate, to die in the arms of another brother. However, it was also my fate to destroy Michael for him to be relieved of his so called "prison". Even now I don't know what he meant by that but, I do know this. Michael was very much like how my father was to me, caring, loveable, and even comedic at times. When I stared at him during his final moments he uttered me these words, "I hope that one day you will reunited with the one you cherish." This may either seem weak to many of you or this will be you sympathizing for me, I cried and suffered for so long after that event. The first day without him, the second day, the third, up until two months, I couldn't stop thinking about those words. Even now, I'm tearing up... Now I am here to lay rest to these thoughts along with Michael and the Brothers. May these Archangels know true peace now and forevermore..."
"May these Archangels know true peace now and forevermore..." The people and the Archangels prayed. Samuel dismisses the Archangels. He then continues the day till the closing segment. "Dear people of Empyrean, I thank from the bottom of my heart, the talks I have had with you were, much needed and have broadened my ideals. Thank you and have a good night! Stay safe and farewell."
The people have gone home. Samuel is the only one left in the Garden. Resting his head on top of the coffins. He hears faint sounds of Michael and the Brothers' spirits.
"I'm glad. I'm glad you gave me this, Michael... I miss you."
"And I'm sure they miss you too Samuel. You were pretty inspirational today." Uriel interrupted. Samuel startled and jerks up from his resting position.
"Uriel? What are you doing here? I believe I dismissed you and the Archangels have I not?"
"Yes you did, but I'm not quite fond of following orders every single time. Even when Michael was in charge."
"Really? Actually, yeah I can see that."
"Come on, I don't think Michael doesn't want you drooling all over his coffin." Samuel and Uriel make their way to base, along the way they talk.
"How do you know I drool?"
"We all know you drool, the past three months we've all been taking turns watching you sleep and see where you head off to."
"Oh, I'm sorry about these past months."
"Its okay, you've been through a lot, its normal."
"Thanks, you know, Its nice seeing you be this nice for once. You have a pretty smile, you should keep doing that more often. Smiles are incredibly powerful and can mean a lot."
"What are you saying!? Do not call me pretty it makes me feel weird inside. Now shut up and go to bed!"
"Whoa okay, wait!" Uriel slams Samuels' door shut and forces him to go to sleep by locking him out of his own room with a chair blocking the door shut. Samuel sighs in disbelief.
"She doesn't even know I can go through these walls if I want to, ah well, guess I'll sleep for a little bit, gotta wake up early to fix some spirits again. Good night, everyone."
