don't look down....[o]

[Paz Marrin]

Paz stood at the very top of the mountain. Her dark blue wings spread out being her. She watched Jupiter soar across the sky. No not Jupiter the planet, her hawk's name was Jupiter. It was like her own personal air show. She sat there with her finger twitching slightly with a smile on her face. This was her favorite place to be. Why? Because she didn't have to act.

Her whole life she had been pretending or faking or doing things that didn't suit her personality, even now she still had he same job that nearly killed her. Paz frowned. She hated it when she couldn't be herself, but it seemed like she was the one that was pushing herself to be somebody else.

Paz was then aware that Jupiter was perched beside her. "What's wrong?" He asked her in their telepathic link. "I'm just happy to be myself again." She said aloud. The hawk nodded and started flying again. Paz lay back and tapped her finger on the stone of the mountain. Suddenly she heard the warning call coming from Jupiter. Paz looked over the side of her ledge and saw somebody coming up towards her.

"To be yourself is the best way to reach true happiness is it not?" Seamus flew up to the winged female and her hawk, which he knew she could communicate with. Yet he couldn't tell if she was just an angel or some other type of creature. All would be revealed in the end though. Another friend and another ally would always be a benefit.

[Paz Marrin]

Paz saw that the guy had wings and noticed that they looked a lot light light angel wings. She sucked in a breath. Jupiter swirled overhead watching carefully. He knew that she was scared right now, but he also knew that the man wouldn't harm her. Paz scrambled up. She tried to hide her wings, although in her frazzle she fell over. Paz sucked in another breath and felt her fingers twitching. She was so worried right now. She stood up so that she way eye level with him. "Y-yeah." She studdered.

[freedom]

Her nervousness was understandable, and he wasn't trying to frighten her. At least the hawk knew that. "I am sorry to scare you, please let me introduce myself. My name is Seamus, what about yours?"

[Paz Marrin]

Paz looked up at her hawk and frowned. He wasn't doing anything about it so she supposed that this guy was alright. She frowned as he asked her name. If he was a light angel would he know her if he learned her name? What if he knew other light angels. "My n-name is Paz." She said with a stutter. Paz rolled her shoulders a little bit and whistled. Jupiter swooped down and landed on her shoulder. He watched Seamus closely to make sure that he wasn't going to hurt Paz.

Seamus folded in his wings and bowed softly. "I am sorry to say but I don't know you....I only have met two other angels in my life. It is a pleasure to meet you. Now what brings you near Nova City?" She looked a lot like Mocking, but despite the color of her wings, she didn't appear to have any dark energy within her. Actually, from everything he could see, she seemed almost no different than him.

[Paz Marrin]

Paz watched him bow. He seemed kind of old fashioned. She tried to relax, but her past with angels wasn't really good. She felt Jupiter's talons in her shoulder, but because she was used to it it didn't phase her. Paz didn't fold her wings back into their in position, she decided that if he was an angel then he wouldn't care if she was one. "I'm here b-because I work here." She told him truthfully. She was a spy but she didn't want to tell him that it might seem weird.

[freedom]

Seamus chuckled softly and smiled. "Work? In a place like Nova City?" He heard every thought: that she was an angel, that she was a spy. She seemed more and more like Mocking, but she wasn't converted into a dark angel. She just seemed to have the wings of dark from birth he had to guess. Interesting how that worked out. "Now please don't be frightened, but who do you spy on? I'm just curious, I can read minds."

[Paz Marrin]

She shrugged. Paz worked where she could and Nova City seemed to be run by monsters. It was the best place for her to get paid. When he asked who she spied on she hesitated. "W-well, I spy on monsters for the police, but I don't turn them in, I just warn them that the police a-are onto them." She told him. She would hate herself if an innocent person went to jail because of her. Paz forgot that they were on the tip of the mountain and took a step back. Obviously she fell off the little ledge. She hovered there for a second, freaking out that she had almost fallen, but still reflectively calm.

[freedom]

He ran over and caught her before she had a chance to fall. "Please relax, I do much the same without pay. I make sure o one on either side gets hurt. Call me a guardian if you will. I think your work is honorable." He smiled and brushed off a seat for her to sit down and relax. "Take your time, do you have time to stay for awhile and talk?"

[Paz Marrin]

Pax hesitated for a second but then she nodded. "Okay." She said with a smile. She sat down nervously. Her finger was still twitching, but less so than before. Her ginger hair was kind of messy today. She ran her shaky hands through her hair to make it less messy. She kept her distance from him, but was still calming down.

Seamus smiled, more relaxed now than earlier as well. It seemed that Paz and her hawk seemed to be taking to him a little bit more, or at least listened to him now. It appears I have an ally now. I wonder where she came from... Everytime he met an angel, that was the first thing that crossed his mind. He and old man that raises him couldn't have been the only ones that survived. And perhaps they would she would know who raided that settlement. "So, please, tell me about yourself. Where did you come from? Who raised you?" He wanted to know everything he could get from her.

[Paz Marrin]

Paz froze up at his question. Did she really want to tell him her past? Not really. She looked at her shoes, thinking on whether to tell him to truth or just not tell him at all. Finally she just sighed. "I come from an angel village. When I was very young I was sent off as a spy, but the village was burned down. I raised myself mostly and I also spied on the dark lord some." She told him. She frowned at the ground. She didn't like telling people about her past.

[freedom]

"A burning village...?" My village was burnt to the ground....we survived though the ashes...could she have been from my village? Seamus was dumbfounded that she could have been from the same settlement. It almost seemed that was the only logical conclusion, but he didn't want to get his hopes too high up. "I know you don't like sharing that story...but I think there is a chance we came from the same home...I was raised in the village I was born, but everything was burnt out. Everyone was killed but me and the old man who raised me. Is your village a couple of days flight from here? Like straight flying?" If the answer was yes, there would almost be no other conclusion.

[Paz Marrin]

Sully looked at him. They could be from the same village? She looked at him. He didn't look familiar, but then again she had been very young when she had lived in the village. She shrugged. Listening to this was making her depressed. She was starting to miss her village by listening to this guy talk. "I don't know." She answered him. It had been long ago so she didn't remember the exacts. "All I remember is that I flew for as long as I could then stopped."
