"The most dangerous person is the one who listens, thinks and observes." -Bruce Lee.
***************************
Zamiel stood in front of the ocean watching the gentle waves in silence. It reminded him of his first kiss with Heaven, but he wasn't here to enjoy the view or the memories. He was here on a mission.
As soon as Heaven left, he began with his plan. Beside confusing the devil, there was one thing he thought would help him, and it was the thing that confused him.
The possession.
It was unlike Lucifer to possess someone. Zamiel knew there would be severe consequences of taking away someone's free will, but he didn't know what the consequences were. Since possession was unusual, only a few knew what really happened. The rest only speculated, and Zamiel didn't know whose information he could trust.
He needed a reliable source, and he could only think of one person. The first created water djinn.
It was perfect because now he could find information without the devil knowing. The devil only had access to what happened on land since those he wanted to mislead were humans. Under the water he would be safe from the devil's eyes and ears.
Zamiel removed his shirt before walking into the water. It was cold, but it didn't bother him. He walked further in, and then he dived into the ocean. He didn't have to swim all the way to the water djinn's land. He teleported until he came to their safety walls that no one from outside could enter.
Zamiel stood at the gate. Using his powers, he reached inside Axia's mind and called to her. She was quick to respond and sounded happy to hear from him. Soon the gates opened and he could enter the enchanting lands of the water djinn. No place on earth looked this beautiful, and Zamiel had seen most places on earth.
Axia stood at the entry with her mate. Zamiel hadn't met him before, so she introduced them. His name was Stilos, and he was a young demon. Not older than two-hundred years.
"You came sooner than I expected. Did something happen?" Axia asked him. She knew him too well.
"I came here to meet Euphorion." Zamiel said.
Her eyes widened. "You know he doesn't like land demons." She reminded.
"I know. Tell him it is Zamiel." He said.
"Do you know each other?" She asked, surprised.
"A little."
She nodded. "Alright then. Follow me."
Euphorion had his own kingdom under the waters. He was not only a lord, but a king as well. The good thing about being a water djinn was that they could live without hiding themselves from the humans. Under the waters they were free.
When they reached his castle, they were stopped at the gates. The guards became a bit defensive when they noted that he was a land demon.
"Let Lord Euphorion know that Lord Zamiel is here to meet him." Axia told the guards.
One guard disappeared and came back quickly. He gave the other guards a nod to let them in.
"I'll be alright from here." Zamiel told Axia.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"I will come and meet you after." She said.
Zamiel nodded.
The guard showed him the way and soon he came face to face with a djinn he hadn't seen for a very long time.
Euphorion. An ancient water djinn. The first of his kind.
He was the epitome of unique beauty. People would describe him as strange, yet mesmerizing. He had icy blue hair that fell over his shoulders in gentle waves, and his bare skin was pearl white. His lower body was covered in iridescent fish scales and his eyes shifted color as they turned to look at him.
He tilted his head to one side and gazed at him curiously. "What brings an ancient land demon here?" He asked.
"I came to ask for your help." Zamiel said.
