Rafaela's POV

I was in Freya's house, talking to her about what sort of mission the Almighty might tell us to do next, when I noticed him.

What was Argus doing around Freya's house? There are many other things he could do. Friends always have an idea-

Oh wait. He doesn't have many friends. The only one I know of is an alien... I can't describe him because that was all Argus would tell me: his friend was an alien. Weird was the first word I could think of when he told me that. And we barely talked to each other afterwards.

"Excuse me, Freya. I have to go now," I left Freya's house and flew towards Argus.

"You're excused!" Freya shouted.

"Thanks!"

Argus turned and looked at me. I suddenly forgot what I was doing in front of him.

"Rafaela?"

"A-Argus... I was just wondering what you're doing here..." I hesitated for seemingly no reason at all.

"You know me... I'm not sure what I should do."

"Where's your friend?"

"He's an alien, you know..."

"Yeah? So?"

"He is king of the Kastiyans."

I tried not to look surprised. The Kastiyans were from another dimension and were well-known for their mind control abilities. I don't know anything about their king but that he has evil intentions.

"Don't trust him, Argus..."

"He has gone back to his planet, anyways."

"Okay..."

I paused for a while, not sure what to say. I am usually very good at holding conversations...

"Isn't there a mission for you?" Argus has to handle the most missions, because a majority required someone to be killed. And Argus was the only angel to kill others during missions.

"No. Why would I be so lonely here if there was a mission?"

Argus' POV

Why is this girl here talking to me? I'd rather be left alone.

But Rafaela must keep a conversation going when she starts one; it's a rule she made for herself. And an unnecessary one as well.

I have no choice but to continue talking to her. At least I have something to do right now, and I have a weird feeling when I'm around her. I want to find out more about her- she doesn't act according to how she feels.

Soon enough, she asked me, "Do you want to complete some missions with me? Freya isn't always here."

And for some reason, I said yes.
