A pair of pristine wings sprouted from that falling
male’s back when he just 5 meters away from the ground, making him float just in
time. He then inserted it back into his body again after his feet touched the
earth. This way, he won’t get hurt.
The arc-angel hurriedly ran toward him, the werewolf
whose back touching the ground that had stopped him from his track. He quickly
knelt down by that werewolf with white fur and carefully examined his body. Woah, this is bad. He thought when he
found an open fracture at the lower part of right arm and fracture
ribs that most likely had punctured his right lung considering the difficulty
in breathing that were accompanied with painful grunts from him. Palpation, he
didn’t press it of course, just putting his hand on the area and examining it
with his power instead, had made him sure about it.
Blood that had stained the otherwise dark brown
colored ground had convinced him that this one has a large wound on his back
too and this boy was on his back. That male’s fine heart-shaped face had became
paler and he was sweating so much.
It was then his companion spoke via telepathy, “I’ve
just looked at his general from here. He was in a bad condition, right? And
look at those bloods. It’ll take some time even for you! You’ll definitely late
for meeting!”
The winged creature looked carefully at the werewolf. He looked young.
Although one from supernatural race’s age couldn’t be estimated from their
face, but this one was indeed has a barely adult face. If he himself looked
like around 25 and Michael looked around 17, then this man that’s half
transformed into the werewolf state looked around 18 to 20 years ago. His face
was battered and clothes were torn and dirty. The fur that only covered his
arms and legs were the only ones that’s still pristine.
“Sorry, I
want to heal him. Just go! I know you hate being late,” Rafael answered the other
arc-angel. His hand hovered on the werewolf with white fur’s chest before it
began to glow. It was when he heard the red hair irritated voice, “It’s up to
you then! Just make sure to show up before the meeting ended! You have 2 hours
at most!”
“Thanks.” He smiled up there, knowing that his fiery
companion can see him, while keeping the healing energy flow from his hand.
Then the silhouette flied away. “Well, let’s concentrate in here then.” He
spoke to himself, putting his hand to the chest while giving enough energy to
reach the wound on the white furred creature’s back.
This werewolf sure was lucky. If he was discovered
by another angel, he might be left alone. Even if there were some took pity on
him, it’ll be hard to heal his injury. All the angels indeed knew how to heal
to some extent but all using holy power that’s of course naturally rejected by dark
beings. No, werewolves weren’t purely on the dark side. They had one of their
feet in the side of earth while keeping one at the dark. Still.. Trying to heal
them using holy energy would just make them worse.
Thus using elemental energy to repair the cells and
quickening the body’s metabolism was necessary. There were many who knew how to
use them, especially in his branch, but just a very handful of people could
utilize it to its maximum effect.
One of them, the best one actually, was the very
head of healing branch, the 4th Raphael that’s specialized in the
matter. It was just a matter of time.
The images of the injured one’s inside flew within
his mind. He has to work on it carefully. The best steps were to shrink those 2
broken ribs while making the bone fragments glued to them and keeping the blood
from making the things worse. The cells on the lung regeneration rate would
then made quicker just as fast as it could, making the hole smaller and
smaller. The last main step would be positioning the shrunken ribs to point at
their original direction before making it grow. It has to be made while working
on the wound on his back and the open fracture on his arm too. Otherwise, he’ll
die from blood loss. After that all that’s left was just to check on the other
places, especially the area around the injuries.
It might sound hard due to the multiple things that
had to be taken care quickly. But the most difficult thing was the high level
precision in the little time he had.
Time flowed as he concentrated on the case. Rafael
didn’t know exactly how long he spent here, healing the boy, but he was sure
that it’s at least not longer than 30 minutes, due to the fact that the boy
still breathing, better each minutes passed. The patient had reverted to his
human form when he began to heal him. His body must’ve judged that it’s for the
best, truly a good reaction. Werewolves regenerating ability will be higher the
closer they’re with wolf appearance, but that very fact would hinder Rafael’s
repairing steps by regenerating too fast, thus making him do unnecessary steps.
The owner of tied blue hair looked closely at him. Hmm, maybe his height just a little shorter
than me. I am 195cm and I think he is around 189cm. His body is slender but he
has a decent amount of muscles in the right places too. And his face… The crisis period had passed so the arc-angel
that had hidden his holy presence didn’t have to be as focused as before. …His face is so beautiful! Long white
eyelashes, pointed nose, thin lips.. Huh? The color is pale. His eyes then wandered
at the short white hair on top of that younger one’s head. Werewolf hair represents their fur color. That’s why most of them are
brown or black haired. White haired werewolf is a rare one. Usually destined to
be the leader of the pack… But… Don’t tell me…
“U.. Uh…” The white werewolf finally showed a
reaction without painful tone. His voice
is so beautiful too.. Uh, what am I thinking?! He’s obviously way younger than
me! Raphael shook his head as hard as he could. Well, non-human creature’s
age shouldn’t be determined from their outer appearance, that’s true. But if his
deduction was true, then he’s definitely not older than 300 years. If not, the
3 worlds would already in uproar. It was then he opened his eyes, revealing
untainted white irises that just served as the evidence.. that his thought was
true.
But… that pair
of eyes just brimmed in innocence…
The eyes indeed widened but the reaction is wrong.
He didn’t show any fear or something like that. He just surprised. Or maybe he still couldn’t get the situation…
The light on Raphael’s hands still glowing, a little
dimmer than before now since the critical wounds almost completely healed. Infusing
too much energy will lead to trouble too, no? The male spoke softly, trying not
to present himself as a suspicious character, “Eh, hi…” It was strange to him
that he got nervous, but the arc-angel realized that he really was, with how
the words left his mouth. The right reaction finally appeared. Fear and
suspicion appeared on his beautiful face.
He had moved away from the healer right then, but a
sudden move like that will definitely make anyone dizzy. The werewolf fell to
his knee right after he moved. “Who are you?!” He spoke with an alarmed tone,
ignoring the dizziness and nausea it had caused.
Raphael couldn’t reveal his identity, that’s for
sure. What kind of werewolf would believe in the goodwill of an angel? That’s
why all he did was to smile and answered him with ambiguous answer, “Well, who
I am not important. But, I just heal your body, even if it’s not complete yet.
Isn’t it enough proof to let me finish?” He showed his hand that was glowing
with honey colored light before it went off. Wasting energy wasn’t a good way
to preserve oneself.
Eyes widened at the answer, he quickly surveyed his
body. He looked all around his body that he could see while hands rubbing on
his chest and back. He seemed to notice that there’s no pain when moving the
right arm too. Amazement slowly crept into his face when he spoke happily,
jumping and moving, “It’s true.. Almost all my wounds are gone now. It’s still
stung a little on my back and chest but it’s definitely healed..!”
The arc-angel just continued to smile and stood
there when two words floated in his head, Cursed
werewolf. There is a legend in the werewolf’s race that when werewolves
with white fur has power and ability way higher than common ones, usually
became the leader of the pack, the one that’s almost completely white with white
irises and eyelashes, pale complexion and all was a cursed one that will bring misfortune, no, catastrophe of
some sort. He has all the criteria right.
That must be why he was hurt so badly even if he must be stronger than a mere
white haired werewolf. His inexperience was just brimming from his body, so the
percentage of losing is more than 90% if he was beaten my many experience
werewolves.
“W-well..” His
voice is so cu.. No.. No.. Raphael tried to clear his mind by shaking his
head then returned his focus to him. BA-DUMP.. One loud heartbeat followed by
quicker pace was inevitable when the arc-angel saw the tint of red on that
werewolf’s cheek. What’s wrong with me?
Why am I getting all flustered by him?!
“Eh, I am sorry for being rude,” The white haired
male slowly walked back toward him, looking to the ground right after giving a
small awkward smile. He didn’t raise his head even after being right in front
of his saver but instead playing with the hem of his torn clothes, Too embarrassed
to look at me it seems, and the arc-angel had noticed that his ears turned
bright red. C-cute!! Uh no, he is
normal!!
The blue haired male coughed before saying, “No, you
don’t have to apologize.” How innocent.
Healing someone doesn’t mean they are by your side or a kind one. “Your
reaction is a normal reaction for someone who beaten almost to death.” I wonder if this topic is forbidden for him.
The air around him suddenly became dark. It really is a forbidden topic for him, Raphael
thought in regret. He said it out of curiosity of how he would react after all.
That’s why he quickly added, “Well, now can I go near you again? Your wounds
still hurts, right? Can I finish my treatment?”
He peeked from the curtain of white bang before
replied it in hesitation, “Yes, thank you…” His voice was low and soft with the
hint of embarrassment.
“This won’t
take too long. I’ve almost finish before anyway.” Said the male with a smile
before placing his right hand on the werewolf’s chest. It was when the hand
glowed again, but this time the energy were bigger, moving and flickering like
a honey colored fire, with blue hue. He didn’t want to do it actually, because that
meant he was forcing the cells to work harder but seeing the uncomfortable
movement from the now conscious patient, he decided that it’s best to quicken
it a bit.
That’s the reason why he did more than just healing.
The blue that’s been playing with the otherwise pure honey colored fire was his
life energy. One’s like might be different than each other, but it can be
transferred to other as it could be mixed with the one receiving it. Arc-angels
had life energy, even though they’re immortal. Well, the reason why they had it
was a secret kept by the God, but they’ll still able to move even if their life
energy was emptied so it’s pretty much useless, right? That’s why they shoved
it out as one of the God’s whims.
After awhile of silent treatment, the werewolf
asked, “You must be not from our side, right? You have holy power.”
Raphael’s body went rigid before being forced to
relax, “Well yeah..” Seems like even if
the one I use is elemental one, the holy power will still come out.
“For a human, you’re pretty powerful.” ……… Wah………
“Thanks..” The healer answered hesitantly. It seemed
that the werewolf thought of his as a human with some sort of light tendency,
maybe a priest or a saint or whatever. He really wanted to clarify him but the
logic went better against his emotion.
“Why did you help me?” The next line was that a
question. He seemed to feel guilty for asking him but determined enough to say
the line. Maybe he didn’t completely
trust me after all. Well, considering what he is, it’s just normal… The
male thought imagining the hardship this creature must’ve went through. Raphael
was now certain that he had lived at least one hundred years of human time from
his body that he had explored when he healed him. Living that long all alone
and being hunted, but still looked completely.. Okay, maybe not completely but
still inexperienced, it’s a miracle that he still alive up until now!
“Ah, well..” This time he couldn’t answer right
away. I want to ask that to myself too!
“Well..?” The paler one had now raised his head,
waiting for the answer. It seemed to be and important question to him.
“I..” Eyes
darted to left for some second before the lips moved, “I.. can’t stand seeing
someone wounded.” The healer decided to go with the basic answer. It’s not like
he was lying, okay? Being a Raphael means to have a big and kind heart..
Though, he didn’t know why, he couldn’t be as kind and patient to his abdominal
fellow arc-angels and superior.
Okay, maybe he actually knew the reason, but it’s
not important.
“Even if you don’t know me? And I am a werewolf on
top of that!” Disbelief stained the choked voice. So the youngster didn’t
believe it.
A helpless look could be seen on the healer’s face
as he answered, “It’s like that..” Though
I felt something else in your case… He continued inside his mind. Not
telling the whole truth and lying was dif.fer.ent!
“Oh..” He gave me a short reply for the answer,
seeming to not able to continue the topic any further.
Then, the two of them fell silent. I don’t know what he feels but I feel
awkward even if I am happy to be with him. Ugh, I am afraid this might be…
“Eeeh… Can I.. ask your name..?” The werewolf was
the first to break the silence, asking with hesitation. The arc-angel though,
felt like wanting to slap himself. How could he forget about it? Introduction is necessary for…
..But I couldn’t
tell him my name… The
thought of telling the werewolf his real name didn’t even surface. But it just
couldn’t be helped. He was more than a thousand years old arc-angel whose name
had already been forgotten for a long time, by himself included. “Just call me
Rafa.” A gentle smile hovered on his lips as he gave him his nickname.
The werewolf though, seemed to forget to mention his
name for he got distracted and talked right after that, dissipating the
arc-angel’s chance to ask for it. “Rafa, do you still need more time?”
Raphael that went with the nickname Rafa had frozen
with slightly opened mouth. He had lost his chance to ask. Crying inside, he
closed it then opened it again just to tell him, “No, it’s already finished just
now…” He forced a smile before let the hand lost its glow and separated from
the high temperature skin. “Why don’t you try to move your body again? Tell me
if some parts of your body still hurt or if I missed something.”
The werewolf nodded happily before he began to jump,
run, and moving his body with an overpowered movement. Waw, he even can’t control his power! Was what Rafa thought when he
saw those movements and wasted energy.
After a few minutes, he ran back to the arc-angel.
He was sweating so much but his face looks so innocently happy. “You’re
amazing!! My body didn’t hurt even a slightest bit now. My wound usually will
open up when I do my activities when others heal me, but yours is not!”
A gentle smile reappeared again, “That’s good then.”
Your wound didn’t open up because who
heal you is me, the angel specialist in healing.. Of course it’ll open up if
you put too much power in everything you do! Rafa thought being slightly
proud of his level of healing.
White haired male nodded then looked upward, “Oh,
this is bad! I need to go somewhere!” He quickly held the blue haired’s hand
then said, “Rafa, I’ll never forget your kindness. Can we meet up in this place
again around 7am? I’ll definitely find a way to repay your kindness!”
Rafa’s face quickly brightened, “Of course!” He answered
immediately, squeezing the pair of hands back.
“That’s good!” He then gave Rafa a bright smile. He
had talked happily, in amazement in front of his, but it was the first time he
really smiled at Rafa!
That smile had made the arc-angel stunned. The
younger one on the other hand had began to run to the north. “Au revoir!!” He
shouted as he jumped onto the valley and disappear from the stoned male’s
sight.
Oh God!! I think
this is LOVE!!!!
