CELESTIEAL RAY "Loving You Is A Sin"
SHADOW TRAITOR
Ezekiel returned again to the Witcher realm to expect another path to Elfa. He was still convinced that Elfa could find another way, even if there were no more, he would actually act on his own.
"Young master, even if you come a thousand times to ask for my help, won't be able to change my decision". Elfa respectfully rejected Ezekiel once again.
"There must be a way. Elfa, please think again, I trust you". Ezekiel stays hard to get Elfa to help him.
Elfa who had been busy stirring her large cauldron now turned to face Ezekiel. He grabbed his wand which he had previously rested on the wooden bench and walked up to Ezekiel.
"I'm so desperate right now. I couldn't look at my father's face who always blamed himself. The people of Celestial Ray need me, if this continues then what will happen in the future of our kingdom. Closing away from everything, prolonged grief, nothing could restore Celestial Ray's rays other than Lilith" Ezekiel poured out his heart hoping Elfa could understand how her current mound was.
Elfa again walked closer to her large cauldron, taking her eyes off into the blue liquid shining from inside the cauldron.
"There's a way" Elfa said after a moment of silence.
Suddenly Ezekiel walked closer to Elfa with his face full of gratitude. Elfa then says she will revive Lilith Rachet's departed soul but not as an angel anymore. Lilith will be reincarnated into a human, but her memories of Celestial Ray or of her past will be lost from her memories.
"Bereincarnate as a human? How's that?" Ezekiel asked for a more detailed explanation from Elfa.
"A soul that has not been lost cannot return. But they can live a new life as a new person. Lilith may no longer be an angel, but she will still be alive as a human"
"Elfa, if her memory of Celestial Ray doesn't hold up in the slightest, isn't it free?"
"No, young master. His memory will return at the right time. Humans are creatures that quickly evolve, as time goes by their brains will become more modern. Lilith will live as an ordinary human being, but she will return to being the Lilith Rachet you have been waiting for as time goes on"
A smile on Ezekiel's face. Unaware of tears, he could not wait to share this news with his brothers.
"But..." Elfa added to her words at that moment the smile that had just been painted on Ezekiel's face blurred. He waited 'but' what Elfa meant.
Elfa turned to face Ezekiel, sighing softly.
"Some one must come to the world of men, sir. To find Lilith's reincarnation and bring her back to Celestial Ray"
Elfa's sentence made Ezekiel again wrinkled her face. It's a very heavy thing to do. Celestial Ray had a rule that angels should not come into the human world and mingle. It's the same as breaking the rules and being a traitor. But soon Ezekiel decided not to run away again. However, he still has to do this. Seeing the look on Ezekiel's face that turned to be sure, Elfa felt disapproving because she knew the look of the face shown by Ezekiel said that he was ready to betray.
"Young master. Don't take this decision yourself, it'll end badly for you, sir. I didn't say this way in the first place because I knew you wouldn't have a problem with the risks. But sir, please discuss this with your brothers, I don't want you to decide for yourself after returning from here. Otherwise, I would have lost the trust of king Victorus as the best witch for allowing his first son to be betrayed"
Another inner challenge Ezekiel had to face. What Elfa said was true, he could not decide this alone. He also did not want Elfa to become a lower-level witch because of her.
Ezekiel went home and decided to tell his brothers everything.
"Bereincarnate into a human?!" Zadkiel suddenly stood up from his seat after Ezekiel's last sentence told him what Elfa had told him.
"You mean you're going to come to the human world in search of Lilith's reincarnation?" Kamael asked Ezekiel who had been silent since the story was finished.
"We're all going, aren't we?" Ezekiel is speaking again.
But all fell silent, not answering Ezekiel's question. There was doubt on their faces. The thing they decided at the moment was no small matter.
"Decided to betray? Not even the devil would ever betray his people, Ezekiel". Zadkiel sits himself rough. His face looks red. He did not expect this decision of his brother.
"There really is no other way?" This time Eden mediates.
Ezekiel. The expression answered Eden's question that there was no other way. Breathing was heard many times in the room. They were worried about the decision suggested by Ezekiel. The silence broke when Zadkiel stood up again.
"I'm Isaac Zadkiel. I'm against treason. What would my avatar of loyalty mean if I were betrayed?. I love Lilith, really a big sister wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her sister. But if it's for treason, I'd rather break both my wings!"
That's Isaac Zadkiel. Fidelity avatar holder. He strongly opposes betrayal and will not lowly lick his own spit. Zadkiel left the room after his last sentence that left his brothers speechless. Ezekiel was still silent when Zadkiel left the room. Hearing Zadkiel's words made him feel doubtful again. One of his 5 brothers had decided to give up on Lilith.
"Ezekiel, what Zadkiel says is the truth. We will not be betrayed a second time to Celestial Ray after Lilith committed a great sin" Kamael Seraphina the third son with an avatar of serenity. He followed Zadkiel out after his last sentence.
Ezekiel was silent. Two of his 5 brothers decided to surrender.
"I understand Ezekiel, it's hard for you as the eldest son. But don't let your avatar be destroyed for treason" Immanuel Eden the fourth son with an avatar of patience. He touched Ezekiel's still shoulders propping up his chin with his cupped hands.
"I'm sorry, Ezekiel. I respect you as the eldest son, but betrayal is a great sin" Raphael Simeon with an avatar of beauty. Now it follows Eden who has been out of that room since a while ago.
Remaining Luke. Michael luke with the happiness avatar. Even with the avatar he was holding at the moment so different from the mood Luke was feeling, he was not that happy.
Luke, who had been looking down, now raised his face to look at Ezekiel. Honestly he was disappointed in his brothers for giving up on Lilith. But he understood, he was also worried about this decision. Celestial Ray's future is still long, what happens if all of Ray's sons are betrayed? It would make their father feel sad.
"I'm really fine" Luke said that sentence again making Ezekiel turn his head.
"I'll take it. Lilith will always be in my heart, always and forever. If destiny is on our side, Lilith's reincarnation will return to us anyway"
Luke then left Ezekiel in the room alone. Now Ezekiel seemed to immerse his face on the table. No one agreed to his suggestion, it seemed that Ezekiel's decision to act on his own was really going to do. The avatar of wisdom that Ezekiel holds today is truly just a useless title.

Ezekiel decides to meet Lucifer alone. There's something important to tell Lucifer.
The demon nation is the only one who can come to the human world anytime and anywhere. Ezekiel plans to enlist Lucifer's help to carry out his mission because only Lucifer can do that. It was certainly difficult for Ezekiel to ally with the demon race. Since the war in the Royale land, Devildom and Celestial Ray's relationship is not as good as before. In the past these two kingdoms were kingdoms that did not hold the slightest disagreement, both were well connected and often helped each other. But the war of misunderstandings made Devildom and Celestial Ray two very distant kingdoms.
Like licking his own saliva, Ezekiel came to meet Lucifer. In fact, he had sworn to eliminate Lucifer with his own hands, but he had to stop it because he needed Lucifer's help.
Ezekiel flew towards Devildom alone without being noticed by anyone. When he reached the main gate to the demon castle, he was immediately confronted by Satan who was preparing to attack Ezekiel.
"Your revenge is still too soon, Ezekiel!"
Satan drew his bow towards Ezekiel.
Satan's anger was responded to calmly by Ezekiel. Because the goal is not to cause a commotion.
Ezekiel's words were ignored by Satan. Soon the arrow shot but was quickly avoided by Ezekiel. Seeing Ezekiel who managed to fly away made Satan angry then pulled his bow and launched arrows many times. But not a single arrow hit Ezekiel. Instead Ezekiel fended off an arrow that almost hit his chest making the arrow turn on the master, Satan.
An arrow struck Satan's left wing and managed to make the master lose his balance in the air and fall.
Ezekiel landed right beside Satan who tried to stand up after falling. Satan's cruel gaze did not intimidate Ezekiel at all. But suddenly Ezekiel got an attack from behind him that made him fall down. Asmodeus had thrown a fraudulent attack at him.
"Piw! Right on target" Asmodeus blew off his fingertips that formed a gun after throwing an attack on Ezekiel.
"Well! We have guests. Satan, thank you for serving our guests" Asmodeus walked over to the fallen Ezekiel and immediately stepped on Ezekiel's white wings.
Satan, who had managed to get up, immediately drew his bow back to Ezekiel.
"You will end up like your brother, your eldest brother" Asmodeus laughed cunningly, ignoring Ezekiel's attempt to rebel under his feet.
"Your wings are beautiful, Ezekiel" Asmodeus said, stepping on those wings getting stronger.
Satan instantly removed his bow and arrows as a loud voice called out their names.
"Satan! The asmo! Stop that!" Satan and Asmodeus turned towards the voice. Now Asmodeus unleashed his stampede on Ezekiel's wing after seeing Lucifer approaching.
Ezekiel tried to get up. His wings ached after being stepped on by Asmodeus.
"Lucifer?!"
Satan and Asmodeus immediately eroded the distance with Ezekiel. Their attacks failed.
"Go back to your place!" Lucifer's orders to his younger brothers firmly.
Satan and Asmodeus looked for a moment and soon left Lucifer and Ezekiel. Satan momentarily threw a sharp glare at Lucifer who interfered abruptly. However, Satan was among the brothers who always defied Lucifer's orders. But he knew he would never be able to match Lucifer's greatness.
"You want to take your death, Ezekiel? Did you come here carelessly without your brothers?" Lucifer said after Satan and Asmodeus had passed.
"I came to see you" Ezekiel still seemed to be in pain with his wings, then he changed his shape again to rest his wings by removing them for a moment.
"To get revenge?" Lucifer also lost his wings seeing Ezekiel doing the same. He could tell that Ezekiel was not going to attack him, so he could relax a bit.
"To bring Lilith back"
Ezekiel's words make Lucifer flinch. He wondered what Ezekiel meant.
"Come into the world of man, Lucifer. Bring Lilith back"
"I don't understand what you're saying"
"Lilith is alive. He was reincarnated into a human and lived there. I need you to find Lilith's reincarnation and bring her back"
Lucifer silently tried to understand Ezekiel's words. On one hand, he was happy to know that Lilith was still alive. But he didn't want to help Ezekiel.
"What benefit do I get if I help you?" Lucifer responded coldly.
"Lucifer, Lilith has given you half her soul. I heard a statement from Lilith that disappointed me so much that she loved you. I kept Lilith's own sins unknown to my father. If he had known, war would not have been inevitable"
Lucifer fell silent. Ezekiel's words made her think of many things. There was a feeling of regret for having resulted in Lilith going through such a miserable thing like this, if not for her, Lilith would still be alive at this moment. He feels guilty for letting Lilith love him, but Lucifer can't help his feelings.
Lucifer took a slow breath.
"Give me one side of your wings"
"What?!" Ezekiel frowned not understanding. Why would Lucifer want his wings?.
"Serve me, Ezekiel. Then I will make your dream come true. I sacrificed my loyalty to Devildom by helping the angel, and what would you sacrifice? Be wise like an avatar attached to you".
A traitor? Ezekiel was faced with a choice like this. He was already feeling quite betrayed for meeting Lucifer alone. Now Lucifer is asking to serve him, to serve the devil? What will happen to Ezekiel.
Ezekiel. But he understood the kindness of Lucifer who wanted to help him. But why would he have to sacrifice his loyalty towards Celestial Ray. Frustrating.
"I thought you wouldn't do it"
Lucifer will turn to leave Ezekiel.
"Wait!" Ezekiel raised her voice while reopening her beautiful wings. Lucifer turned to face Ezekiel.
Ezekiel knelt before Lucifer, bowing his head and wings before Lucifer.
"I'm Ezekiel Elliott. Will serve you"
Lucifer hardly believed Ezekiel would do that. But his words were serious, if Ezekiel wanted him to help, then Ezekiel had to give up one of his wings as a sign of devotion.
Ezekiel broke his left wing. He didn't scream one bit. Her tears flowed down her cheeks while accepting the reality of her betrayal of Celestial Ray. Ezekiel gave the white wing to Lucifer. Lucifer accepted it with pleasure. Ezekiel's wing will soon regenerate but is not its original wing. Even so Ezekiel still felt sad, he had committed a great sin, but he had already decided this from the beginning. He will never run again. Ezekiel really wanted Lilith to come back.
"Traitors will always be traitors, Ezekiel. There's nothing you need to regret if this is your best decision"
Lucifer said that to Ezekiel who was still kneeling on the ground then immediately flew away. Ezekiel and Lucifer have committed treason. From now on Lucifer will do his mission in the human world and Ezekiel will keep lying to his brothers. Ezekiel and Lucifer's betrayal may one day be exposed, until that time comes, they just need to hope that time will always protect them. Ezekiel and Lucifer.
100 Years have passed since Lucifer wandered the human world. So far he has not found any signs of Lilith's reincarnation. But his promise to Ezekiel, as well as the betrayal he had committed, made Lucifer do not want to make his adventure ends in vain without success. No matter how long he had to search for, he was sure to soon meet his reincarnation lover, Lilith Rachet.
