3rd Shot: The Five Angel's Envious Jewels
I met an angel once
Who lost his innocents on day one
While he lost his wings on day two

On day five he lost the taste of freedom
Next he lost his scent of lies on day six
Lastly he lost his old self on day seven
After he realize there no such thing as peace
(By me)
“So Jing where are we going that you think the Tears of Hope is?”
“Yeah I mean how do you even know this place exactly have this Tears of Hope?” Stacie, Kir, and Jing were riding on a train to their desolation of the Tears of Hope. Kir was sitting next to Stacie. Stacie look at Jing who was in front of her. “Well if you listen to the riddle closely it said `You can't spread your wings, You can only drown, In the darkness you created, that they'll never understand' well it means a place where they never see what true darkness is or other words what true pain is.”
“You mean a place where there no crime, deaths, or even war, that impossible!”
“Yeah I have to agree with Red here, Jing. There can't be a place like that.” Jing look out the window and continue “There is one place like that, like Stacie said, `there no crime, deaths, or even war' but there more, there no weather, no emotion, no colors, no choice, even no memories of what out there. They're like robots; they're raised to obey their town's rules, to talk right, to not to be rude, It a prefect town of no freedom where you don't realize you're wasting your life.”
“It sound like a book I read before. Anyway Jing can you tell me why you want this Tears of Hope?”
“It not only the Tears of Hope I want, it's all five of the Angel's Envious Jewels.”
“The Five Angel's Envious Jewels?” Stacie said in confusion. Jing look at her and smiled “Well most people hadn't heard of the legend but I'll tell you.” He sigh first before continue:
“They say that the Five Angel's Envious Jewels were made by the tears of angels themselves. In the legend, Heaven is an eternal paradise of peace, angels there back then they didn't have any negative emotions until an angel fell to Earth. The other angels look for him and it took five years until he was found but it was too late. He require negative emotions like hate, anger, even desire of something other than god. The angel's eternal paradise was grumbling down from the sky. The angels cried tears of their beliefs in to five jewels to stop him from hurting and tainting their eternal paradise any farer. The `affected' angel began to envious the angel's success of making the jewels. He had never done that and knows he couldn't so he decided to steal the jewels. That night, he took the jewels and left Heaven but before he did, he send all of his negative emotions to the sleeping angels of heaven. The thing is after he back on earth he died and the jewels he took were somehow gone. The reason the Five Angel's Envious jewels got its name is because the angel took them was feeling that emotion.”
Stacie look at the window which show it was now sunny and soon night will blanket the sky once more. She really understands the legend but why was Jing wanted them. She could tell it was something he wasn't telling her but what? “Stacie?” She stopped thinking and look at him. “Do you understand what I said?”
“Yeah I did but I want to know why you want them Jing?” He look at her with no expression on his face. “I mean is there something you're not telling me? Something about yourself?” Jing didn't know it but Stacie could tell in his eyes he was wondering what to say to the redhead. Kir flew to a female passenger and in that cabin, you can hear a smack and the albatross saying ouch. Stacie looked at that direction where Kir was; she couldn't help laughed at the beat up albatross while Kir shot an icy cold glare at her. Jing smile at those two, it seem she was getting use of being in this world. He wonder what was her life was like? She properly had a good one, by the way she acting. He couldn't help but look at her. She has her personality before she die. Her eyes too.He couldn't help but to think of her.
(5 hours later)
It was night time once again, the cabin inside was filled with the darkness of the night, the only light that gleam in blue in the darkness was the moon. Jing look out the window while Kir snored on the passenger chair and Stacie slept on her blue pillow with orange and green swirls. He couldn't sleep somehow, he didn't know what. He look at the young girl in front of him, the girl who didn't know what she got herself in to. That she will be in great danger and he know it. He didn't wanted her to come along, he didn't wanted to see another woman die in front of his face again but even if he had said no, she will follow him anyway and he could tell she was hard to lose.
“Jing?” Stacie look at him with one eye while the another slept “why weren't you asleep yet?” Jing smile at her, her innocents is like a little child but somehow at the same time it was mature. “I just can't sleep sometimes” Stacie got up and sat next to Jing. “Jing you never answer my question and I don't know why but I know better not to pride in people's private life. Soon I'm going to find out Jing and you know that.” She stared out the window to see a blue wasteland and smile. “My father told me it's good to tell someone something before it's hurts them. I think he was the greatest dad in the world when I was a little girl. He used to read me bedtime stories and told me legends; I remember one of my favorites he told me was the legend of Heloin. I believe in everything he say…” Her smile turn to a frown. “I wish...” Jing listen carefully on what she was going to say but instead she smile at him. “Ahhh maybe I'll you later ok?”
“ok” Jing could tell she forge that smile so he wouldn't worry but he was. Was she scare on what he'll say if she knew or just worry she was telling this to a bad person. Only the gods knew that answer.
