Log;
Being torn from his world and Sara was plain awful. Being ripped away from Sara and placed in completely unknown territory right in front of a creepy, steadily and endlessly rotating carousal was beyond awful. It went right past awful, bypassed terrible, threw in a dash of ghastly, and crashed somewhere in, "I've earned the right to complain," land. At least, it did in Setsuna's eyes, except he couldn't find a voice to complain with looking at that thing.

He didn't recognize any of the shops around him, there wasn't a sign that clicked in his mind, and he was starting to wonder if he was just in another world completely. 'Great. I thought I was done with that type of nonsense,' Setsuna whined to himself.

Shouting out for other people seemed pointless -- no one was responding. Maybe they couldn't hear him. Maybe he should shout again. Setsuna considered that, but when he looked back at the empty carousal, Setsuna decided against it, unsure what type of people might come out of the woodwork if he did so. He had tried walking around to find names on shops or street signs, only to find it pointless.

In the end, he found himself back in front of the carousal, staring at it in horror and wishing he could just be back with Sara.

She heard the sigh and wondered what made him think he was dead? She would never allow Setsuna to die until he lives a fulfilled life. Through him, she lived too, tasting the wonders to be a mortal man who did not submit to fate. A young demise was something she would spare to her beloved Messiah. She pushed that gloomy thought away before it made her twitch and lose her ground.

His anger and frustration were understandable; Sara was his everything. Alexiel took his outburst with coolly patience, waiting for him to finish venting before taking the word. Her voice was calm but not cold. She would never be frosty to Setsuna as she could be to others.

“Sara used to be here, but she left. Kurai as well,” was her reply, adding after a pause a new perspective. Setsuna had to know who was here. “Your friends, Kira and Katou, live with Lucifer and I. Michael, Raphael and Barbiel stay with us. Zaphkiel, former Great of the Thrones can be found here too.”

Alexiel went silent, leaping to the ground, next to Setsuna. They were exactly the same height when they stood, next to each other. Twins.

“Hear this, Setsuna, for is important. Rosiel and the Hell’s Mad Hatter are among us as well and from them, you should take caution.” Belial wasn’t foolish to hurt him but her brother’s obsession with a mirror image was as strong as ever. She sighed under her mask. A fight between the twins would level the City, she knew how dangerous they were even with their tampered powers. Her eyes met his. “We must leave the open and return to our shelter. All your questions can be answered later.”

Well, great. Setsuna hadn't been there an hour yet and he already loathed the city to a point so large he actually wanted his astral powers back for a moment so he could level the place. Just for a moment...which passed, leaving the boy still enraged and glaring at odd portions of ground. Alexiel explaining Sara used to be there did little alleviate his temper.

But once she mentioned Kira and Katou were there...Setsuna's glare dissipated entirely, his head snapped up to look across at Alexiel and his lips mouthed the names, "Kira-senpai.... Katou...." He was silent for a moment, then he uttered, "Are you sure I'm not dead?" Was this real? How could it be real? So...no Sara, but two of his very precious people were there, and Alexiel sounded urgent to get out of sight. Considering it was obvious she offered him help (and never mind how much assistance she had offered in the past), he decided to just contemplate all of this on the way and follow her.

First, though, he stomped on the ground a few times, face contorted with anger anew, then he hissed, "I hope you felt that, stupid City. And I hope it hurt!"

That done, he nodded his head to Alexiel and gestured he would follow her. "Let's go. I can finish kicking its ass later. It's a city. It's not gonna go anywhere or anything."

Last tag?

Setsuna had inherited her need for freedom. It wasn’t that surprising. He had lived by himself most of his life, after his biological parents separated. To be forced into any situation was producing him so much rage. She smirked at that, proud of how alike they were. But his temper… he needed to control it. Alexiel had schooled her rage into a dispassionate wrath; Setsuna was the opposite with the tantrums he was prone to suffer.

"Are you sure I'm not dead?" His innocence and questioning were akin of a child. Must she repeat the obvious once more?

“Mmyes,” murmured Alexiel, reaching for his head, fingers idly stroking the fair strands as if he was a little boy. “This City could be a curse and a blessing for those who come here willingly or not.” She stood next to him, amused by his “battle” against the pavement. Always a fighter, her child, her incarnation; the former Organic Angel approached him when he was done with his round. City won this time. She held up her hand at him in offer; white wings already appearing to display and gleam at the moonlight.

“We must travel fast.”

Sure.

The City won this time, yes, but there would be others in the future, many of them, and Setsuna would triumph in one of them. One way or another, he would return to Sara. For now, though, he silently accepted this wasn't a dream, he wasn't dead, and...and.... He was going to get to see Kira and Katou.

His lips formed a gentle smile at the thought; however, despite his slowly forming happiness, Alexiel's maternal gestures were almost lost on the boy, aside from a platonic warmth spreading through him that eased his troubles, for the moment.

When Alexiel offered out her hand, Setsuna nodded and held out his hand to grasp hers. He wasn't sure how she would get him to where they were going when he no longer had wings, but he trusted Alexiel simply would.
