The Ignition

From time immemorial in a multi-dimensional realm, while looking at the wide pearl gates, unspoiled golden street, and light that brings the brightest warm of a glass-like lake, something indescribable which is unnatural to this, is slowly igniting in the heart of one red-haired angel.

Angels are the same as humans. Having an emotion, they experience both joy and anger. But they think in a more intellectual way, unlike humans who think based on rationality. It was said that rationality is a depicted form of intelligence and angels, having a perfect form than humans are not bound with this rationality.

"What is this unusual feeling?" the red-haired angel having not experienced this in his entire existence is questioning the strange thing he feels. For angels who think intellectually, questioning an unusual thing is like opening himself to learn more beyond what he already knows. While thinking and pondering on the unusualness of things, he arrived at the idea that he might just be admiring the beauty of this realm. For a beautiful place like this, it's hard to say if there is a person who will not be attracted to this realm. It is a perfect place beyond what a human can ever imagine. The angel who feels the unusualness in his heart is feeling the same admiration for this place.

In a distant stone chamber not far away from where the red-haired angel was, was another angel sitting in a silver glassy chair. This angel has black hair and a sturdy muscular body. He was looking at the red-haired angel with a curious look. After a long stare, he sat up and flew in the opposite direction.

The red-haired angel somehow saw the black-haired angel but he chose to ignore him, together with the strange emotion he was feeling, and he continued with what he usually does every day. Unbeknown to him, as the days' pass, the feeling he felt that day grew deeper and deeper like the feeling of someone who is staring at the bottom of an abyss, not aware that the deeper he stares the more he is swallowed by its darkness.

"How good it is to have this place as yours." laying in a silver grass and staring at the pleasing scenery of golden walls, not aware of what he was saying, the feeling of admiration has now become the feeling of wanting to own something which is already a feeling associated with sin in this realm.

"What?" a somewhat peculiar question he asked to himself when he realized that what he feels was not just a simple admiration but a change of emotion, an emotion against their nature.

"No..." shaking his head. He is now aware of it but still denies what he truly feels. A characteristic of pride.

"You feel the same way, right?" startled by the sudden voice, the red-haired angel quickly turned his head and saw the black-haired angel on his back, smiling in an enigmatic way, waiting for his response. He couldn't get it at first when suddenly a glimpse of a hint came into his head.

"You mean… you feel the same way? I mean, you also feel different inside you?" the red-haired angel said in a somewhat rush voice.

"Yes, you are right." a somewhat calm response from a black-haired angel. Looking at the posture and the way the black-haired angel talks, the red-haired angel can assess that the black-haired angel knows of this feeling a long way before. Thinking about this, the red-haired angel didn't hesitate to ask the black-haired angel what this unusual feeling really means. He was aware of it and knows that it is not good but he doesn't completely understand it.

"What is this unusual feeling?" the red-haired angel exclaimed.

"Let's talk about it at the bottom of the Primedas on the third rotation.", the black-haired angel said, turning his back and flying away. The red-haired angel looked somewhat confused but quickly understood what he meant by those responses. What they were to talk about is against the nature of this realm, a taboo, and it will not turn good when other angels hear about it.

"But why did he want us to talk at the bottom of Primedas and why on third rotation?" the red-haired angel still looked confused despite understanding the reason of the black-haired angel.

Primedas is a place in the fourth-dimensional realm that mirrors two steep rocky mountains pointing toward each other. It's like a two triangle facing each tip towards each other in a vertical position. It has a height of 11,333 meters and is covered in golden snow. The top of it is a wide glassy ocean where myriads of species in the sea that you could imagine existed can be found, while the bottom of it is an upward labyrinth forest. It's a beautiful place but somehow strange since not most of the angels take the labyrinth forest route. While the term third rotation is associated with the change of color of a moon-shape crystal in the sky of the realm. This moon-shape crystal changes into 9 different colors at a constant speed. It's like a clock in a human world. The third rotation means the rotation changed into a red color. Each color signifies a meaning which is only known by a handful of angels.

As someone who didn't know what the colors in the crystal signify, the red-haired angel had a slight hesitation to go but his hesitation quickly disappeared when he thought of the strange feeling. He wanted to understand those feelings, and the black-haired angel who is somewhat familiar with them can help him understand them. There is still one more rotation left before the third rotation happens so he took his time and went to the Yellow Prime Tree--- a tree that symbolizes openness and understanding in the heavenly realm.

"This is always one of the best fruit in this place." the red-haired angel thought in admiration. There are a lot of beautiful trees which bear delicious fruits in the heavenly realm and the Yellow Prime Tree is one of the popular trees for it does not only appeals to the taste buds but also cleanses one's mind and opens him to understanding. The Yellow Prime Tree is also known as the tree of understanding. When someone is having a hard time understanding something, they came to these tree to eat its fruits. The red-haired angel having the same reason for coming here plucked out two fruits from the tree and sat down in a yellow grass river which is located a meter away from the Yellow Prime Tree. He takes his time eating the fruit while thinking of the black-haired angel. He recalled the time when the black-haired angel stared at him but he chooses to ignore it.

"Did he already know something at that time… How did he know?" feeling suspicious, he was curious at the strange emotions the black-haired angel was talking about. Being curious about something was a first for him so his response was somewhat off. Despite being uncertain on what he about to do, he still decided to get to the bottom of what he really felt. After finishing the last fruit, he got up, opened his wide red wings, flapped them, and he began to fly in the direction of the Primedas.

...….

"Why are there so many angels at the Hines region at this rotation?" while approaching the said place, the red-haired angel noticed that there are a lot of angels in the surrounding.

"What… It's strange". He might not be sure of it since he didn't care about his surrounding until the strange emotion he felt. He thought that he was starting to be more and more conscious. Usually, after his calling in the Heavenly realm, he spends his time at the top of Primedas feeding the red-neck turtles, and every time he goes to the place, he doesn't waste time looking and counting the number of the angels at the region, so this time was rather strange for him.

Hines region is a popular place in the heavenly realm for its structural beauty. The heavenly realm has a different dimension and each dimension has different regions. The Hines region is located at the Quatal dimension which is known as the dimension of openness and perseverance. When you are at the sky looking down the region, you will see that it shapes like a butterfly with heart-shaped wings. It is also where the Primedas and the Yellow Prime Tree are located so it's not unusual for many angels to spend their time in the region.

The red-haired angel shook its head and chose to ignore the strangeness he felt, focusing on the place in front of him, which is a large double rocky mountain, the Primedas---others also called it the Twin Snow Gold Mountain because of its structure covered with golden snow. The golden snow came from the tiny ice crystal not from the clouds in the heavenly realm since there are no clouds in the heavenly realm, but instead from the pollen of the Golden Retriever flower, which can be found at the realm above the Hines Region.

The Altea realm is a realm of change and destiny. It is one of the realms that are not accessible for most of the angels. There are only limited angels that are allowed to enter a specific realm and the ability to enter or exit a realm is based on their ranks. The garden of the Golden Retriever flower was directly above the Primedas so some of the pollens fell at the mountain. This pollen was rather special since it can improve someone's energy and calm their emotions but there is one effect of this pollen that is unknown to angels.

The red-haired angel stopped at the front of the mountain, slowly flapping its wings, and made a quiet landing at the bottom of the mountain. The land at the bottom of the mountain is covered in aluminous grass and numerous varieties of minerals can also be seen in any direction. There was a perfectly textured ladder with flowers of different colors at each side of it at 8'oclock direction that led to the door inside the mountain. Different animals such as a two-headed reindeer, a winged buffalo, a snow ape, a flying camel, a bat-headed eagle, and a one-eyed monkey can also be seen in the surrounding; and a pond that gives a refreshing smell of freesia.

The red-haired angel wondered where the black-haired angel was, since based on what he remembered, the angel told him that they would supposedly meet at the bottom of the Primedas. However, no single angel can be seen in the surrounding ever since he arrived. The red-haired angel waited a little more before he began his step at the ladder towards the door with slight hesitation. This was his first time to take this route since every time he came here, he always flew to the top of the mountain, so it's understandable that he showed a little hesitation when approaching the door.

"It's cold." the red-haired angel exclaimed while he approached the door of the mountain. It's safe to say that the outside and inside of the mountain have an opposing temperature. After a slight hesitation and consideration, if he would continue or not, the red-haired angel finally arrived at the front of the door. The door looked like a mingled of ancient and modern Battened and Ledger Door Type battened with a golden metal with tangled roots all around the door.

The roots are of silver-green in color, extending from inside the mountain to the outside of the door. Seeing the roots, the red-haired angel wondered what's the inside of the mountain looked like. After a little time of pondering, he finally touched the door with his right hand and slightly pushed it, a little sound from a twisting root can be heard while slowly opening the door, then slowly extending his legs at the front of the door, slightly bending his back and moving his head to get a glimpse of what's behind the door.

"Ooh..." the red-haired angel feels amazed at what he saw. Being in the Hines region for a very long time, he never attempted to take this route so being amazed of what's inside the mountain is a usual feeling.
