The Mafia And The Princess Of Wands

Max Flashbacks

Matt POV's

Ah, I want to tell you about my days at Anthem's. That was an amazing experience.

When I failed to pull Leah out of Purgatory, those strange, empty souls pulled me inward, and when I thought I was going to die it wasn't.

I woke up the next day wearing only a white cloth robe and I had a pair of wings.

"Hi stupid." Anthem at the time.

I hold my whole body and then I can fly and have wings.

"Wait on! Am I dead already? I saw you and where am I? Me withyou? Am I not in the garden of heaven?" my many.

Anthem looked at me with a mocking look, "I told you it'd be hot, and you said you still wanted me...."

"Lea! What about Leah! Is he safe? I saw it, but I. I..." I drowned my face.

"He survived however he was not human, Max let alone his father a close friend of the Ruler. It could be the end of this earth if they were to fight. You know that?" anthem.

I thought of Anthem saying, shouldn't I try to save Lea? So we can go back to what we used to be? There was a feeling of regret that quickly entered into the recesses of my heart.

"Anthem, can I see Leah?" my many.

Anthem wiggled his finger, "No, he's going through a period of recovery and I didn't know they had some kind of ritual or something. Leah will be made immortal by her parents like that." Anthem replied.

Immortals? Will Leah not be human? What about our relationship? I took a deep breath. I thought if I died and saved him, he would be on earth and become human but it turned out that all my estimations missed.

"Our process of being human is long, Max and probably painful. Humans have a complex taste. They are sad, angry, happy, happy, scared, confused and everything. We just feel happy or sad. Angry only a little, we are never afraid and we are never confused. And when we come down to earth, immediately the complex feelings of humans affect us." Anthem replied again.

"Do you want to be human?" I asked Anthem.

Anthem shook his head, "I won't be a human unless miracles and miracles come down on me." he said arrogantly.

"Curtain! So where am I at this moment? Am I dead?" my many.

"Your body is, your soul is not. The ruler hasn't wanted you dead, Max. So instead of you hovering on earth with no clear purpose, He hires you for 365 full days without rest." Anthem replied.

Does that mean I'm a ghost? How horrifying.

"Then what am I supposed to do here? And where is my body? So now I'm just a soul?" my question still doesn't understand.

Anthem nodded, "Your body is there, circling around in there. There is no strong man with the heat of Purgatory, Max.

"Your job is to help me, you have to input the human soul that I carry. If the soul has no mortal sin, bring it up. But if the soul has a heavy and very heavy sin, put him into the fire" Anthem said again giving an explanation of my work later.

"Then what about my body? Can I go back to Earth? Or will I be here forever?" my many.

"Your body? You want to see your body? I'll show you." Anthem walked towards Purgatory and chanted a single spell and my body was lifted up in a very terrible state. Anthem didn't send it back but threw my body somewhere, "Well we'll throw it away sooner or later" he said.

I was shocked and looked at him in disbelief, "A. What are you doing to my body, you son of a bitch!" sahutku upset.

"All your good looks, your valour, there's no meaning here Max because they will eventually rot and disappear. I lost it faster. You should be thanking me." he replied without a burden.

"But that's my body! How do I get back if I don't have a body, Anthem! Answer me!" I called out to him, shaking the body of the winged Anthem.

She looked at me coldly, "Cry while you can still cry. Until your tears turn to blood your body will not return. This is what you want, right? You want to exchange your life for Lea? Have you forgotten your request? The ruler has granted your request. And now you're angry that I threw away your body? Do you feel relieved when I say you're not dead? What do you expect Max to do? Back as before? So yummy! All humans are the same that's why I hate your people, and you know why I've always been an Exemplary Angel? Because I do my work with joy. I picked up a stupid human soul and complained too much and I enjoyed all their emotions!" answer Anthem.

His words made me realize, yes I begged him to exchange my soul for Leah. And now that my request has been granted, why am I complaining? It's good that I didn't die and there's still the possibility of being able to return to earth somehow.

"I sent you a bill of wings" Castiel said one day.

"Sorry, what bill? I never owe any angel here." I said.

"Your wings. It still owes its status. You rent wings until you are reincarnated." Castiel replied.

"Quickly my time is not much, I have to take care of a human who has a weak heart" he said.

"Why did I pay him?" my question is not understanding.

"Your kindness." replied Castiel.

"Huh? Whahuh? How's it?" I was back with his answer.

Castiel shook his hand impatiently and then he took something from inside me, "I took everything. And this can be used for, huh? Only 2 months? You just paid 2 months. A little bit of your kindness." he said in passing.

I did not understand at all what had just happened, I re-examined the souls that I would put into Purgatory.

"Nelson. Hey, Nelson! I know you." I saw Nelson's soul and he was just as shocked as I was,

"Max! Are you dead too? Hahaha, because of Hunter or Don Bradley?" ask Nelson satisfied.

"Not both. And who's Don Bradley?" my many.

Nelson looked at me in disbelief, "You don't know? Hunter's just capo, Max! Every capo has a Don, right? Don Bradley, I don't know him very well either, but Hunter thinks he knows you. Hahaha, who doesn't know Don Maximilian, right?" answer Nelson.

I thought he was whining until I remembered about Brad! People I consider to be my best friend. Is he a mafia too? I remember Lea's first meeting with him.

Is anyone missing?

"Hey Max." said Nelson again.

"There's anything else?" my many.

"Where should I go?" ask Nelson.

I forget.

"Come in." I said pointing to Purgatory and asking Nelson to go inside.

Bradley's? Brad's? I wrote the name down on a paper so I could remember it.

When Anthem arrived, I approached him and asked Anthem for help to find Brad.

"If you come down to earth again please help me find this man" I asked Anthem.

"I'm busy." he said.

"Ah, come on." I kept persuading him.

Finally Anthem took the paper from my hand, "I'll ask Rue for help if she's allowed to leave by her parents." Anthem said again.

I let out a sigh of relief, wait for me Brad I'll see you soon. Brad's name I wrote in my brain so that someday I wouldn't forget it.
