Ep 1

Lilith looked in Michael's general direction which was supposed to be hidden in a nearby alleyway before counting down from three-using her ring, index and middle finger in that exact order. As soon as she flipped off the unimpressed Mr. Staryrt, she's not surprised when she finds herself drenched from head to toe in holy water, but is surprised to see that Mr. Staryrt is not sizzling or burning. His skin seemed to do the opposite than what was expected. It seemed to.... glow.

" What are you?" Michael asked coming out of his hidding place and Lilith retreated away from Mr. Staryrt and towards Michael.

" You are indeed Vincent's children" Mr. Staryrt said, wiping the holy water from his face.

" How do you know our father?" Michael said pointing his blade at Staryrt.

" I know he was a person who did not give up his trust easily; much like you and that's where you got your stubbornness from. Because you definitely wasn't like this when i knew you" Mr. Staryrt answered playfully.

" I'm not playing games with you! What do you want with our brother?" Michael asked still not letting down his guard.

" You are not asking the right question." Mr. Staryrt answered before continuing, " You must ask what God has in store for you"

Just then, the young Azrael is seen walking out of the corridor and into the large dining area the orphanage has to offer.

" Azrael? What are you doing up?" Michael asked looking at his brother worried as Azrael tiredly rubbed his eyelids and answered," I don't know"

When Azrael stopped and opened his eyes, he found that the bright outlines of the people he have been seeing for the past two minutes has not stopped. His vision began to blur and Michael, sensing that there is something wrong with his brother, quickly ran towards him just in time to catch him from falling to the ground.

" What is wrong with him? Did you do something to him?" Michael asked trying to wake his brother. Azrael's skin was hot and he was sweating heavily despite the cool temperature.

" No, his awakening process has started" Mr. Staryrt announced beginning to walk towards the children but Michael yelled," Don't you dare take one more step towards my family unless you wish to never be found by your family"

" Come on Michael, that's not nice" Mr. Staryrt announced.

Michael stared at Mr. Staryrt unappreciative of his playful tone.

Just then Mr. Staryrt seem to sense something outside the building getting closer and announced," No time to explain right now. We have to go."

Then Mr. Staryrt seem to disappear from their line of sight only to appear right behind the children, placing his hand on both Lilith and Michael's shoulder. The next thing the children  knew, they were in one of Mr. Staryrt's guest room  and Azrael was no longer in Michael's arms but In Mr. Staryrt's.

Mr. Staryrt, who stood near the guest bed, gently placed Azrael on the bed before placing his hand on Azrael's head. Mr. Staryrt's eyes seem to shine brightly as he carefully inspect Azrael.

" What are you doing to him?" Michael inquired defensive against his brother.

" Checking to see how far he's progressed already, he is not supposed to be awakening at this age"

" What is he awakening to and why is he awakening now?" Michael questioned.

" There are some things I cannot explain to you as of right now but your time of awakening will come"

" What? Why..?" Before Michael can finish his sentence, Mr. Staryrt snapped his fingers and Michael vision was dazed before he fell into Mr. Staryrt's arms, unconscious.

Mr. Staryrt looked over at Lilith who was smiling as she said, " It's nice to see you again, Sariel"
