Chapter 4 - Body is a Temple

In the morning, the bells sang their Symphony like the last day.

But today Jun was already awake.

He waked up earlier to look after the morning show.

Next to Jun, Angel went to make breakfast and Kassandra, on the other Jun's side she left too, to help the guy on morning duties.

Without even noticing it, they took off to cook, leaving Jun alone to see the parade.

Yesterday, Angel told him what he saw in the early morning. "Today when you were sleeping, in the middle of the sunrise, the tower changed itself in a gigantic show.

Angels dancing, pillars of flame, an orchestra of instruments and much more...

There is so much to say that I don't know how to describe it.

It was so awesome. You need to see it with your eyes.

If you want, I'll wake you up tomorrow, Jun."

As promised these three gathered at the front of their apartment, near a bench situated to a side of the first floor railings.

Every floor of the tower had an open circular middle bordered by banisters.

Many benches furnished this ring-shaped floor, composed by dark a light wood flooring in a Herringbone pattern. This floor style gives a feeling of infinite head arrows chasing each other, in a perpetual race.

As the first Sun rises from his sleep, the ceiling changed in a show of it, revealing its proud light.

The first to move in this stage, was the main actor, the one with golden armor and sword, the representation of Michael itself. (Found by the group, yesterday)

Giving the order with his sword the marble angels took their first steps.

Every time a new sun rises, a disc of fire appears on the ceiling. Each one gave birth to waterfalls of flames, falling on the fountain.

The general on his thrones of fire and flames, left his place to reach the rostrum. When he was about to reach the center of the tower, a pillar of fire raised up from the foundation. At the top of the column, a podium expanded from the flames.

The trumpeter angels stopped their job and the snakes of water forsaken by their masters, went to climb the new pillars of flames. Like vines, branches and twigs were generated from these water creatures. Fruits grow up from these branches, becoming water chimes and bells, big and small.

Given the command, these musicians opened up the symphony, followed by the bells.

In this way, the morning hymn has begun with angels dancing and singing in the chorus.

"This was awesome!!! I didn't see anything like that."

"Uhm"

"There were pillars of fire! And this water thing didn't even evaporate, even near these pillars!!!"

"Uhm"

"You can even see these statues moving! I thought they were living angels, but... I found out they aren't.

But next time, Darien you too, you need to come too!"

"Uhm? B-But I'm not a morning person."

Next to them Sarah curiously asked

"What are you talking about, guys"

On the other side of this round table "How can you cook so well?"

"I learned from my parents.

See this plate? It comes from my mom's cuisine" Pointing at his plate, the only one different from the other.

"It's like a simple pancake and is called pannkakor. It is almost the same thing. But I like to call it pannkakor... it reminds me of my home."

Kassandra looking at this sweet dish yearning to a piece asked.

"Can I have a piece of panc... pannkakor" As she said this, Angel changed his plate with hers.

"But... Thank you" She didn't want to take all, but couldn't find the will to refuse, so she accepted nonchalantly.

"Naí, it'so good... And yesterday dish was good too, what is that?" Intrigued by his skills, she asked again.

"What dish?"

"Yesterday, for lunch, remember? When you refuted our help for the lunch..."

"Oh... That, it's called carbonara if you want I can make it today too"

"Sure. How many dishes do you know? I see every time something new"

"Oh, I worked in a restaurant... Many restaurants. When I was working in these places, I learned one or two things." Likewise, Angel told her about his first working place...

"But Angel, you can't cook every time, we need to split the job." Kassandra said a little guilty and angry.

"Don't worry, I like doing it"

Meanwhile, the other listened at the rightful sentence, but also participated in the discussion too.

"I haven't problems, if you need a hand, call me!" Readily the first answered.

"I would help if I could", Darien said sincerely. "I-I can try. B-but don't count me for breakfast."

When it was the turn of the last. "Don't look at me, everything I touch burns", Sarah said with her mouth full.

"But I can say this, your food is SO good." Added.

"Right!" "Uhm" "Absolutely" all approved.

"As I said to Kassandra, don't worry, I can do it myself"

"But!" Exclaimed Kassandra angrier than before.

"I... If you want, you can help me" Seeing her reaction, he could only give up

"I can help too" Answered Jun, bringing anger and joys for the girl.

In the main hall of the apartment.

They decided to make a trip to the town tomorrow. For today, they wanted to see their new ability and the equipment in the small warehouse.

"Darien! What are you doing? How can you do THAT?" Asked incredulous Jun. While Angel was helping Darien.

"Uh...?"

"How can you carry this heavy equipment? It should weigh roughly 25-35kg, only the armor!" Pointing at his full hands.

"Uh?"

The sword alone in Angel's hands weighed about 5kg, without counting the other thing.

"And you Angel, what are you wearing?" Looking at his new clothes.

"My new equipment, Do you like it?" He said expecting a compliment.

"Uh... It's... " Doubtful, he didn't know how to answer.

Clap!!! Jun received a heavy pat on his shoulder. Seeing him so uncertain, He didn't want to make him anxious, so he gives him a pat and said, "Hurry up! There's also your equipment in the warehouse"

Jun without waiting immediately ran away.

"Watch out! The girls are there too" *Probably it's too late too* thought Angel.

This "apartment" has a training ground located near the warehouse and the main hall. Like every rooms its posses artificial lights, but this one has a ceiling like the main ceiling of the tower. Like everywhere else, Angel found an inscription here too. "Do you not know that your Body is a temple of the Heroic Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own, you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your Body." Like for the others, Angel felt profound disgust, but this time it had a deeper meaning...
