My dearest Nevaeh,

How are things going for you, milady?

Milady, I really wanted to let you know how special you are to me. Every time I see you, I get butterflies in my stomach.

What creature in their sane mind could resist those deep and rich blue eyes of yours which shimmer like bright stars in the night sky. I know the moon is a lot bigger and brighter, but its white, not blue, so I can't really compare you with that, even though I want to.

I have to tell you one thing though. I really do love your smile. I think that is the most amazing part of you, and is the most amazing thing on this planet! God, I wish I could do nothing but stare at your beautiful smile all day (besides eating, drinking and sleeping of course). That would be pure heaven for me!

I will be thinking of you my milady!

It was early in the morning as Key stood near the portals. Six to be precise and he had send both Taemin as well as Nevaeh a message to meet him here at 06:15. He was wearing different clothing than usual. His robes were replaced by tight leather pants and a blouse with several leather belts that held scrolls and small glass containers with liquids. Gildin, the staff, was floating behind him. Glowing slightly in the early morning. His lilac eyes lingered on the horizon before he checked his bags once more. 

When the two children arrived he welcomed them. Kissing both their foreheads and smiling before opening the portal and confirming he had cancelled their classes for the upcoming days. “Where we are going you will learn more than you will learn from those idiots that call themselves professors around here.” 

Stepping through the portal brought the odd trio in a white landscape. Mountains everywhere around them, snow covering the ground and a large wooden caravan stood waiting. It was a dark blue color with small purple curtains and a large, larger than usual, white horse was connected to it. “This is my home when I am not at the academy.” he explained and as he opened the door to the caravan a huge room with other doors to, assumed, other chambers was revealed. One of those bigger on the inside  deals. 

“Well, come on in. We have to leave now because there is a storm hitting in two hours and I want to be on our way when it hits because we will have to pause at that time.” He smiled “Are you ready, kids?”

The cold wind blew some leaves high up in the air. While winter was slowly departing some of the oldest and most stubborn leaves finally left the tree branches. They were the leaves that defied all logic and remained stuck until the spring came. And they really had to leave to make place for the new life. 

The demon sighed, resting his chin on his knees as he sat on the balcony on top of the wizard tower. Tiny lights could be seen everywhere and the telescopes were all pointed at the heavens above.

Heaven. He wondered if that was where the angels resided or if heaven was just some fancy name and that it wasn’t above them at all, but rather somewhere else. He remembered clouds however...

Remembered- the demon was one of the few non-angelic creatures that had memories of heaven. He had gotten them from an actual angel, one that had the power to transfer memories from one person to another. Minwoo had carried the memories of the angel for months and in the end he was left with just a few remaining. Those that hurt him the most, just forgetting seemed the easiest way out yet it was as if the memories were carved into the bark of his heart. 

He sensed someone approaching and he looked up, red eyes gleaming in the darkness before they softened a little. He knew her, she was a kind soul for sure- 

“Hey, Nevaeh it was?” he said with a small, sad smile.

"Feel free to look around, I’m sorry for the mess,” Jieun smiled at her pixie friend as she gestured for her to enter the sitting area of her dorm room. “I was cleaning out old boxes earlier and I haven’t been able to find places for everything.” It was almost amazing the things she’d found sitting in the boxes and envelope she’d shoved to the back of her closet. Of course it probably would have been a better idea to have cleaned on a separate day than when she had invited Nevaeh over to study but it couldn’t be helped. The unidentified items had been bothering her for weeks because she had no way of telling what was trash and what was worth keeping. The contents that she had managed to sort through were littering a portion of the floor against the wall and consisted of various photos, letters and other bits and pieces she’d collected over the years. years.

“If you’ll excuse me I’m going to put on some tea and slide the cookies out of the oven and then we can get to studying.” Because it was her firm belief that snacks and a good drink made studying so much easier and better. With another bright smile she had left the room for the kitchen humming as she went. 

A short knock and the pixie appeared, opening the door of the professor’s office. “I have decided, professor. I’ll start attending your class next week,” she informed before stepping forward, handing the two textbooks she borrowed the last time she spoke with him. “Thank you for these, I gained enough courage to enroll in your class.”

The picture that was placed in between page 356 and 357 of his manipulation book was torn on the sides. The colors had faded and made it look like it could belong in a museum or a hipster blog. It showed a young female with light brown eyes and long black hair. She could not be older than sixteen years old and she was smiling, in her arms she held a younger child. About five or six years old with bright red eyes and a mischievous grin anyone that knew Minwoo or had even seen him in the hallways would be able to recognize him.  A picture perfect sibling photo one would say. On the back however, the text ‘I will find you’ gave who ever read it an eerie feeling of a mystery. 

Minwoo did not realize he had lost the picture until he was sitting in his room that evening, loud curses filled the room and their dog prince looked up worried. Minwoo, ignoring the canine, stormed out. He did not find the picture and ended up sitting in the desolated cafeteria.
