That Little Thing Called Care
"When are you going to stop crying?" little Jared ask nonchalanty.

"I don't want to go out anymore, please don't stop hiding me" beseech by little half-breed nephilim name Azalel.

Jared look at him with grimace.

"I'm still wondering why and what are you doing here in our realm, you don't belong here."

"I'm... Lost" Jared tried to surpress his expression on little nephilims answer. That's stupid, he can't be lost here.

"foolish" He sighed looking at the weak nephilim, giving up his temperament.

He is thinking how ironic is the thing that is happening right now, a nephilim under his feathers? He's hiding an enemy, this is treacherous. Lucky the elders doesnt pay attention at his age much. He felt laziness grip him as he overthink, boredom finally step in.

"what's your deal?" Jared ask while looking boringly at the front. The little nephilim kept sobbing.

"The Nicolatians exiled my true family, im finding my real father."

Jared look at him in disbelief,

"and why did you think your father is here? And how did you even get here?" Fear is starting to crawl in Jareds flesh. He certainly was taught about the barrier of this two worlds of spirits.
There is no, not even the high rank demons can enter their realm unless ask to come, that's the order.

"I-- secretly come with the arcs while they where ask to do measurements in the world and securing Azazyel Gehena prison in the earth" Jared was flabbergasted on what he heard. Oh uh, He smell some trouble.. He know Azazyel, he is the fallen angel, one of the chief of watchers who become fallen angels, where the origin of Nephilim started. This little nephilim is a problem, Jared can't stop gripping his hair with his finger out of frustration.

He squatted in his comfortable position to think,

It's impossible for the arcs to not see him --unless, hidden?

He started to touch the little nephilim wounded body and started to check something on his body, the little azalel was surprise on a suddden touch,
Lil Jared was being impatient on finding a thing on his body, he is sure that there is something that could help him hide his self.

"w-what are you doing?" Azalel was getting uncomfortable, and his wound aches because of the grip

"where is it?" Jared ask.

"what do you mean?"

"the thing that hided you.."

"you mean this?" Azalel took his palm out, suddenly a broken crystal feathered appeared.

"A sacred feather of protection.." Jared was amazed, it was his first time to see one. It was only given to the working angels in the area of protection.

"that is my only remnant to my true family." Azalel said while his voice is broken "Now it's broken.."

Jared now get it, this poor Azalel find out about his real exiled family, because it is the only remnant means it's the only clue. It's obvious now how he think his family is here. But if there are exiled, from what realm? And from where to? If they are exiled from hell, it is obvious they are now living in the earth. But if they are exiled from heaven ordered by the realm of spirit, they will be exiled into Uriel's prisons which is the world of the dead souls.

Little Jared found himself half-sick. No, im not dealing with arc Uriel.. he decided.

"I'm going" He stand up and stop concealling Azalel. Little Azalel was caught of guard by his decision, before Jared can go far, he caught his knees and hug it tightly.

"You! , get off" Jared resisted, azalel didn't mind the resistance and just close his eyes while clinging. Jared tried to get Azalel of, but the more he do it the more this little nephilim is getting stronger. He catch his breath for a while.

"You *breaths* are just going to bring me trouble"

"Don't leave me" Azalel broken voice. Jared sighed and gave up.

For once, he regretted to be good and was not able to discern before he concealed this little nephilim to the other little angels before.

"you don't know what you're saying, you gonna get us both in trouble" Jared fall his self down on the ground, he don't know but he suddenly felt weak.

"I hate to get engage with that Uriel again" Jared said weakly. Azalel notice this while still clinging.

"are you okay?" Azalel crawl to get close on Jared face. Jared felt more heavy.

suddenly a trembling voice come on Azalel's back.

"W-what did you do to him?!" A little angel, name Phanuel shockingly ask.

Azalel was surprise and crawl his self back

"I - I didn't do anything..."

"liar!" Phanuel retorted.

Jared is getting his strength back, before thr little Phanuel attacked the weak nephilim , Jared cast his feather to Azalel.

"hide" he whispered.

Azalel who was closing his eyes heard this in his mind

"my feather last only for three days, go hide in the place im going to show you" Jared said telepathically and revealed the place in Azalel mind.

Phanuel was left confused, and walk closely to Jared.

"Jared? Did you see that? I am certain that i have seen a demon-human kind here." Phanuel ask hysterically.

Jared look at Phanuel with a pokerface

"I haven't seen anything though" -- "but could you please help me out first" Jared demand, because of the protection he cast, he paralyzed his body. He was a good apprentice at a young age, and he belongs to the distinct of under cover protection realm, but since he is still young and only an apprentice of Arc Raphael, he can't cast easily without condition.

Phanuel scratch his head and help Jared gain his energy by releasing remedial powers. Jared was able to move again, he tapped Phanuels shoulder.

"Thanks"

"What happen?" Phanuel ask

"Practicing" he simply said, which is actually true before things happen.

"I have seen in my eye a demon above you..--haven't you seen it?" Since Jared knew Phanuel's character is (Chismoso, jk) overthinker, he took advantage of it.

"Too much thinking can entice evils" he grin. Phanuel suddenly make his eyes look above.

"Oh no, rebuke me breathen!" Jared laugh.

"Lol, you're such an imbecile Phanuel, let's come back before you get crazy here" Phanuel agreed and decided to be rebuked by his teacher.

Before they could go and teleport to the cloud, Jared look at his back.

As grass withered on earth
Feathers wither out in their wings
As you seek the way of distressed
Becareful not to fall back again in abyss.
