When the Goddess was busy watching over Ariel and Damien flying happily in the air, God was multitasking.


    He finally had the chance to look into Ariel''s future paths as of now. The future would take shape based on each and every small decision that one would take in their daily lives.


    Of course, as Ariel was born on the most auspicious day, she came to Earth with the fate to rule over the universe.


    However, just like Theodore had exined to Adeline time and again, fate wasn''t written in stones. It could get modified, erased, orpletely changed.


    And when God got to see into Ariel''s future, he wasn''t too happy with what he saw.


    For one, her fate to rule over the universe seemed non-existent at the moment. And another, her future had branched out so much that her future didn''t seem clear at all.


    In short, Ariel didn''t have any goals in life.


    God let out a quiet sigh and consoled himself, "Ah! Why am I so worried? It''s not like Ariel is already a thousand-year-old. She''s just ten. She will set her goal soon."


    He tried focusing on what was happening on Earth. He wanted to let it all y out as naturally as possible without his divine intervention.


    It was his motto not to mess with the natural flow of things.


    However, he couldn''t quite take it in that his granddaughter wascking in so many ways.


    He focused his attention on Ariel to Damien and thought, "First of all, I have to get rid of Lilith''s son. I had been allowing him to be around Ariel so that he would bring her out of those barriers. Now that she is out and has tasted the freedom, his purpose is over."


    He sneakily tapped his finger and a very small speck of glowing dust left his finger. One wouldn''t be able to see it unless the other party was allowed to see it by God himself.


    The dust shot down towards the Earth Realm at the speed of lightning.


    It finally stopped when it reached one of the celestials who was already present on Earth at that time.


    The glowing dust hovered around a beautiful angel with dark grey hair that fell down to her hips. Her eye color resembled the color of her hair. She was wearing an all-white gown that entuated her beauty.


    She looked up at that dust speck and smiled, "Look what it is."


    When she said that, the dust grew bigger and bigger until it looked more like a roaring lion.


    It was a coded message sent by God to one of his daughters, Lavera.


    "So it''s about Ariel," she spoke to herself in a honey-like melodious voice. She touched that lion with the tip of her finger and it flew inside her head after confirming her identity.


    A tinge of excitement sparkled in her dark grey eyes when after she got the message from her father.


    "Oh, it''s going to be so much fun."


    Lavera spread her grey wings in the air and then headed towards Mihir.


    ---


    Damien and Ariel were already near another vige called Mystic Red Vige. This vige was also mostly inhabited by vampires. And the two of the kids were looking for a vampire who wasn''t sticking with a group.


    "There, that man is alone," Ariel pointed at a tall man with red eyes. He was drinking something from a bottle and was sitting on top of a stone at the edge of the vige.


    "Let''s meet him," Damien also agreed to talk with that man.


    The two of them slowly flew towards that vampire. But when they were close and were about to descend, Ariel suddenly whispered to Damien, "Dame! We forgot one main thing!"


    Damien turned his gaze towards Ariel and asked, "What?"


    Ariel gestured at her body and asked, "We''re still invisible! How are we going to talk with him unless we are able to show ourselves?"


    "Oh my hell!" Damien dramatically held his head and arched his back while still in the air. "Ugh! Did wee all the way here for nothing?"


    Ariel covered her face with her palms and sadly said, "I guess we really should have brought Joy with us. We could have taken turns to carry her along the way."


    The two of them kept on aimlessly hovering in the air.


    After going through all that trouble, Damien couldn''t believe that they missed such an important detail. "They will think we are ghosts if we try to talk with them while we are invisible," he mumbled.


    "Shall I kidnap one vampire and force things out of him?" Damien thought to himself. But he was quick to dismiss it, "But that can cause future problems for Wyverndale. The vampires know that demons exist right? They might me Prince Theodore for the things that I do."


    Ariel was cursing herself in her mind for not seeing this problem beforehand. She didn''t like seeing Damien looking so down. "He really wanted to interact with the vampires, didn''t he?" she thought to herself.


    And she tried to console him, "Why don''t we silently see them from here for now ande back againter?"


    Damien simply ignored Ariel and kept on watching that lonely vampire who looked like he had finished his drink.


    "Need a hand,d, anddy?"


    Ariel and Damien were startled when suddenly they heard a voice from behind them.


    They turned around to find a woman sitting cross-legged on a broomstick that was hovering in the air. She was wearing a pointy hat and a full ck gown. And her dark grey eyes were staring directly at Ariel.


    ---


    "Lavera? What''s she doing there?" Goddess suddenly gave a suspicious gaze to her husband.


    However, God calmly replied to her, "I guess she wants to see her niece?"


    "Tell her to leave Ariel alone," Goddess firmly made a demand.


    God gave a reassuring smile to his wife and said, "I will call her back if she crosses the line."


    ---


    Damien swiftly flew in front of Ariel and red at thatdy as if he would kill her if she moved a finger to harm Ariel.


    And he growled while emanating an authoritative aura, "Who the hell are you? And how can you see us?"


    "Calm down,d. I am but a witch who seeks to help the stranded," she replied, unfazed by Damien''s hostility.


    Damien narrowed his eyes further and demanded to know the truth, "And why would you help us? Is this some kind of a thing that witches fancy? ''Helping children'' in need?"


    That woman softly chuckled and replied, "I don''t know what kind of an encounter you had with other witches before. But I am really here to help. You two need your invisibility spell to be lifted, right?"


    "And how do you know that?" Damien folded his arms and continued giving a re.


    "I was just flying by when I heard the two of you talking. That''s all." That woman lightly tapped her fingers on herp and waited for the children to beg for her help.


    But instead of doing so, Damien rudely scolded her. He already had enough dealing with the witches. "Don''t you know it''s a bad habit to eavesdrop on someone else? I suggest you leave us alone."


    Ariel was hiding behind Damien for all this while because she was afraid that the woman was her father in disguise.


    But by now, she was sure that it was not her father. So she whispered to Damien, "Maybe we can get her help? We don''t know if we will get the chance toe here again."


    Damien replied to Ariel in a loud voice so that the woman iming to be a witch could also hear them, "Don''t you find her suspicious that she isn''t afraid of us even when we have wings? I''m sure this part of thend doesn''t have any winged beings."


    "Maybe she has seen some winged beings before," Ariel pressed Damien''s shoulder and whispered to him again.


    But Damien was serious about not wanting any help from that broom-loving witch. And he said while ring at that woman, "If she has seen winged beings before then she should know that it is better to stay away from us... if she doesn''t want to invite her untimely death."


    Instead of responding to Damien''s threat or being offended by him, that woman nonchntly shrugged, "Well, I guess I was just poking my nose where I''m not needed."


    She mockingly curtsied and said, "I will be on my way then."
