Chapter 10: Chapter - 10
As the darkness surrounding my consciousness cleared, I was able to open my eyes to see my surroundings. A dark space with no source of light except the one coming from me, the floor seems like a clear mirror reflecting the darkness of nothingness in this place.
Although I never entered this place, I'm quite familiar with this feeling. This is my inner mind, or in other words, my sea of consciousness.

Looking around, I noticed the sudden appearance of a dark fog that's blocking my perception, even though this is my own soul where I should be able to feel anything. Seeing this I decided to listen to my instincts and walk forward, there was no sound in this place, I couldn't hear neither my footsteps, my breathing or even my own heartbeat.
Honestly it's quite the terrifying experience, almost all my sense are cut off, there is nothing to taste, smell or even touch. All I have is the little light emanating from myself, so I focused my attention on it and continued walking in this realm of nothingness.
Thinking about it, this all happened after the awakening of my sacred gear right? So am I supposed to be meeting something inside it like Issei? I don't quite remember a mention of any being inside Annihilation Maker, I think I may have heard one about Dimension Lost, with Azazel telling George that he should contact the consciousness inside of it soon. Well guess I'm about to find out.
Then, as if responding to my thought, I was able to see a silhouette in the fog, though the weird thing is, no matter how much i walked I don't seem to be getting any closer to it. So I just stood in my place, thought a little and focused again on the light inside of me, which I was able to recognise as my will, determination, faith, and started to will it to illuminate my surroundings, which did make it comply and start to get brighter and brighter, lifting this seemingly fldark fog little by little, it didn't erase it though, but I was able to finally see what the silhouette is, and a part of me wished I didn't.
For what stood in front of me is a sinister looking upside down tree, with names engraved on it and a malevolent aura around it, and the moment I looked at it, I began hearing whispers in my ear, not loud enough to make any sense but not low enough to make me able to ignore it. But it wasn't just that, the problem was the eldritch gibberish that I found starting to fill my head, causing me to feel a headache so bad it almost felt like nails are being dug into my skull.
Naturally I started screaming but no voice come from my mouth, I desperately tried to find anything to help me and that was when I remembered the light in me, which I immediately latched into and started to ignore everything else, praying and willing it to take me out of this place making it shine so brightly that it blinded me and the rest of this cursed place.

Waking up with a gasp, I started trashing and holding my head from the phantom pain in my head, ignoring all the shouts around me I just wanted to get this pain, this memory out of my head. I wouldn't have stopped my trashing around if it wasn't for the soft and extremely relaxing feeling that suddenly descended upon me.
It made me feel warm and safe, like the embrace of a mother. I started losing my consciousness again but I was able to hear an extremely gentle and song like voice saying.
"It's alright, you don't have to be afraid, just go back to sleep and rest, no harm shall fall upon you" with the voice lulling me to sleep, I couldn't help but start drifting into the realm of dreams. Before I slept however, I only had one thought.
'Her voice is quite beautiful' after which I blanked out.
(3rd pov)
Looking at the sleeping Samuel, an extremely beautiful girl with curly blonde hair was looking at him, but what truly stands out is the 12 wings on her back and the golden halo above her head.
"Lady Gabriel, will he be okay? And what should we do about this?" Asked Griselda as she looked at the great Seraph waiting for her answer.
"He will be okay now with my blessing, as for what will we do about thus, well nothing. Just let him train as usual, give all the support he or Dulio may ever need since they have very high potential but also make sure they don't overwork themselves, I don't want them to be unnecessarily hurt" Hearing that, Griselda pondered over it a little before inquiring.
"So you blessed him? Does that mean you will become his guardian angel? Also should I tell him about you? The kid is terrifyingly sharp and have a very keen sense so he will be able to sense the blessing" stopping her action of stroking Samuel's hair, Gabriel said.
" No, don't tell him yet. I want to be able to look at his work and what his reaction for the blessing is.
I will introduce myself to him properly when he graduates from the training in 3 years. And yes, I have chosen to be his guardian angel.
" seeing this Griselda kneeled and said.
"Yes your grace, that shall be done, so rest easy and continue your work" seeing her this formal, Gabriel couldn't help the chuckle that came our from her and she grasped the shoulders of the kneeling sister, pulling her up before giving her a hug, then separating and saying.

" I told you many times that you don't need all this formalities between us. And yes, I know you that I can rest assured with you in here.
Now I'll have to go back, I think I ditched work long enough. See you later you two" and with that she folded her wings on her and disappeared.
