Infinity: Rising of the Soul Weavers

"Oh, you must be pretty knowledgeable yourself, to be a subordinate of such a person," Raven went with the flow. 

Seeing the angel, who was sent to 'take care of her', in front of her suddenly relax made her think how unfair life is.

She has worked extremely hard to level up, yet this idiot was at least ten times stronger than herself; this is certainly unfair!

"I am!" He answered with a smug expression, seemingly forgetting his purpose for coming here. "Hm… well, not much compared to Lady Uriel…"

"That's okay, she is of course the most knowledgeable," Raven said slowly as the angel in front of her started nodding like a clock bird. "With that being said, you must have heard something about what your Lady thinks of me, right?"

Raven was pretty interested in who this Uriel was. Someone who knew about her past was someone she needed to learn about.

"Hm…" the angel rubbed his head like a brainless fool trying to solve the hardest mathematical equation. "Oh, oh, I know!"

"Uhm, please say!" Raven nodded, sounding pleased.

"But you must not tell anyone, this will be a secret before I 'take good care of you'!" He emphasized, his aura suddenly soaring.

Raven instantly felt her vision blur and her bones almost crack. "Yes!" She intended to shout, yet she was barely able to whisper.

"Good!" The terrifyingly powerful, yet extremely stupid, angel nodded happily. He seemed like a kid that was receiving his favourite candy.

Raven didn't understand how smart and cunning this Lady Uriel had to be in order to let such an idiot learn the meaning of 'take good care of'!

"Listen closely," he whispered. "I learned from Lady Uriel that she is responsible for preparing the Life Cycles for the other Lady and Lords.

"She creates or uses bodies on different planets, and inserts a portion of their consciousness into those bodies. That is how they perform their tests; they live a different life, and judge the creatures on different planets!

"I recently heard from my Lady that she was in deep love with Lady Raphael!" Saying that, he suddenly stopped and stared at Raven with narrowed eyes that gave her the chills. "You must never tell anyone, this is my Lady's ultimate secret, do you understand?!"

"Yes, yes, now continue!" She quickly answered. She finally had some insights into what was going on and she wasn't willing to abandon further knowledge.

"Well, Lady Uriel wanted her beloved Lady Raphael to always stay by her side, so she created harder trials for her," he said slowly. "Poor Lady Uriel wished that Lady Raphael would never ask to go into Life Cycles again, and instead, spend most of her time with her!"

'What a f*cking maniac!' Raven commented. She didn't know this Uriel in person but she realized that she had an issue with her brain!

"This plan was perfect and was able to bear some fruits," the angel continued with a sorrowful voice that got gradually angrier. "However, some creature in Lady Raphael's last cycle 'messed with her head' and made it so that her original personality became less prominent, thus changing her traits!

"When Lady Raphael woke up last time, she acted strangely. Lady Uriel said that she acted like her last personality, that was called Maya. And guess what, that Maya was in love with that creature that messed with her head!"

Raven felt her brains hurt from his explanation, yet she tried her best not to interrupt. 

"So in the end," he continued. "Lady Raphael didn't have any thoughts about Lady Uriel, but instead kept thinking about that creature, the human; needless to say, my Lady was extremely furious and asked me to come and 'play with you', because you are that human!" His expression suddenly became savage.

Raven never commented about how he had never guessed her true identity as a Soul Weaver. However, after hearing him say 'play with you' she could not hold herself. "Oh sh*t, he just used a new metaphor or whatever," she subconsciously said loudly.

However, seeing the angel about to flare his aura, she quickly raised her hands to stop him. "Wait, wait!" 

"What?" He asked, thinking that he's done something wrong.

"You didn't answer my question," Raven answered. Although technically, everything has become clear in Raven's mind, it didn't change the fact that this idiot didn't directly mention that Uriel has some, if not all, of the knowledge about what Raven and Maya had to endure.

"Hm, oh…" the angel seemed lost. "You idiot, ah, um, what was your question again?"

"Umm… how strong are you, that was my question," Raven thought and asked quickly. "Like, do you have any ranks or-"

"Oh, ranks!" The angel interrupted. "Hm… I heard that in our Solar System, creatures are ranked according to stars… if I am not mistaken, I have the rank of Star One Hundred Twenty!"

"!!!" Raven almost choked. "What the f*CK?! Why?" 

'A whopping One Hundred and Twenty?!!!'

"Huh?" He seemed confused.

"Ahem, ahem, I mean, why are you so powerful?" Raven quickly asked. "And is there anyone else as strong as you?"

"Um, ah…" he seemed to be deep in thought and Raven didn't interrupt. "Oh, I was born like this! And, ah… I am ranked as a servant only…" He sounded sad.

"But," he continued. "Lady Uriel has as many as fifty servants! And although she has the smallest number of servants, she has got the most guards; she has fifteen guards!"

"Guards?" Raven swallowed loudly, she had a bad feeling about this.

"Yes, you idiot!" The angel laughed at how naive this girl seemed to be. She knew nothing about his Lady! "A guard normally has the rank of Star Three Hundred, but lady Uriel has some guards with the rank of Star Five Hundred Fifty!

"You know, since Lady Uriel is always working on the creation of Life Cycles, she doesn't have much time to practice, so she is the weakest. But that's why she has the most guards.. Hey, are you listening?" He suddenly asked while looking at Raven who seemed soulless.
