Angel gazed at the flowing water. "That does sound like quite a burden, but it does relate directly to the earth. In the earth's earliest days, mother earth was lonely and dieing. Humans were born to be her friends, and with the humans as company mother earth prospered. The humans however needed sustenance. So mother earth gave her own animals, fruits, grains, and waters to man so that they might survive. She gave up one precious thing to gain another. That's a story my parents told me. It was before humans became a greedy race. Mother earth was the first earth, and you are her daughter. So you must follow in her footsteps. I know it's a lot to ask of a person. And I can understand if you want to avoid it. But wouldn't it be more sad if you locked yourself away and never gained anything precious to give?" Angel looked up at the sky, which was clearer in this area. "As heaven, I have a certain path I'm destined to follow as well. I'm to fall deeply in love, and with that love grow stronger and happier. And then my love is to perish a horrible death," he sighed. "And from that point on I must guard over all other true love in the world, so that my misfortune isn't repeated in others." Angel looked back down to the water. "They ask far too much of us. Believe me, I know. As soon as I rescue my parents I'm getting as far away from the people who took them as I can. Somewhere nice, where the earth hasn't yet decayed. I'd like to take care of the land there, and we could have our own little paradise." He turned to her. "If things ever get to that point, you're welcome to come with us. I'd be glad to have someone like you there. Someone who cares.
