The Fallen ones and the group of free spirits started their ascension up the forested mountain at midnight, Although it was dark, the ferns on the ground glowed a calming blue light, which lit the path.

The group could've grown wings and flew to the top very easily, but since it was agreed they would travel with the hippies, they decided to hike the mountain. After all there was not much to complain about, the mountain was truly a beautiful path at night.

"So are you guys like related to mother moon?" The teen with the antlers asked. He was the boy with the bandanna in the material world.

"Mother moon gave birth to all the creatures of the world after receiving the life-giving light of the father sun. However we were not born in such a way" Rydia explained.

"Have you heard of the mythology of the clay men built by God, who later breathed life in to them." Rydia asked.

"Yea, some pagan religion right? We are all about that." the antler teen replied.

"Well that was the story of the creation of entities such as ourselves, not of men. You humans have the honour of being organic, we are more like the watchers who can only be considered the created children of father sun." Rydia explained

Jackel was also hearing this for the first time. The realization of not being a human is starting to sink in.

"So y'all used to be clay" the antler boy asked.

Rydia was speechless for a second. "No that was a metaphor. We were made with pure light" Rydia explained

As they hiked, the hippies continue to bombard the fallen ones with question. Each one less intelligent than the last. Even though Rydia was an incredibly patient person, she was growing irritated by all the redundant questions.

"So do you guys, like you know, need to use the toilet" the antler boy asked.

Rydia was at her wit's end.

"Listen kid, We are..." Rydia was about to snap when Castiel stopped in his track. He was walking at the front of the line so everyone had to do the same.

"What is it?" Hillel asked from behind.

"I feel an incredible aura coming from the front. There's four of them" Castiel said

Right after Castiel finished the sentence. An incredible roar engulfed the entire mountain. It was so loud the echo did not fade out for half a minute.

"What was that?" The antler teen said with a shaky voice.

"Mother moon, please protect us" the deer girl whispered.

In the distant, a shadowy figure leaped towards the group with alarming speed. It landed in front of Castiel and came in to view.

It was a lion with featherless wings. It had scars all over it's face, and orange saliva was dripping from it's mouth.

"A cardinal beast!" Castiel exclaimed.

The beast dived into Castiel sending him flying away from the group. The lion seems to only be targeting him and went chasing after him.

The hippies were so so terrified that they were frozen in place. Coming from the north, a gigantic bear slowly strolled it's way towards the group.

Hillel jumped in to action and swung his hands out like a sword. An air blade came shooting out from his arm and hit the bear's front limb. It was torn off immediately.

The bear howled in anger. However, it stopped and lifted his body to a standing position. The moonlight beamed on the missing limb and it started to grow back.

In just a few seconds the bear grew back it's limb and started charging toward Hillel.

"You think growing back an arm matters to me?" Hillel said with authority. Then he leaped forward with his hands stretched out like a claw. He sank his hands into the beasts chest and ripped out the heart.

Holding the still beating heart in his hands. He crushed it, and the body of the bear slumped to the ground.

From behind the group, a flash of black zoomed it's way in and slashed at one of the hippies. But Constantine was there to reflect the attack with his arm. However, there wasn't even a sigh of a scratch. Constantine's skin was harder than steel.

The beast was a leopard who had four heads and four wings. It flew up in the sky and looked like it was about to dive towards Constantine.

"I got this." Jackel was beside Constantine and stepped in front of him. Jackel called down gravity and leopard came smashing towards the ground, breaking every bone in it's body.

"Nice one." Constantine said without much emotion.

It was silent for a few seconds then there was a rustle in the ferns to the left of the group. The fallen ones prepared for another attack, but Castiel walked out of the bush drenched in blood.

"Oh my goodness, are you ok?" The deer girl said with concern.

"What? this? It's not my blood, things got a bit messy." Castiel said calmly.

"That was incredible, you guys took them out just like that. I've never seen anything like it!" The antler teen said.

"There's one more. This one is a lot stronger than the rest." Castiel warned.

"But it's not moving." Hillel said. "In fact it's in the cave where the hermit is"

The group looked at the direction Hillel was looking.

It was the entry to a large cave that had a rainbow glow coming from within.

"We are not sure if we want to follow you guys in there" the deer girl said shakily.
