"Alright" Ashleigh said, "But I still don't approve of this outfit."

"You will only have to wear it while you are training." Uriel replied. They reached the portal to the dark angels' realm.

Ashleigh gulped.
"I don't like the vibes" Ashleigh said "Can we go back PLEASE?"

Uriel looked to her. "If we do, then you will continue to lose control of your aura." He replied. "I don't like going there either. It messes with my system."

"In other words, no" Ruby said, "trust me, when you get used to it, you'll love it. It's just letting the wild inner child loose. Plus, they have good ways of keeping calm, defensive spells AND keeping your aura and emotions separate and under control."

Uriel held his hand out to Ashleigh. "It's best if we link hands." He said.

Ashleigh nodded and held Uriel's hand. She still felt pretty bad for injuring the arch angel's hand earlier.
"Now what?" she asked as she took Ruby's hand.

"Follow me and hold on." Uriel said as he stepped through the portal.

Ashleigh nodded and follow suit, Ruby following after.
"I can't believe that this is happening to me" she said.

It wasn't long before they were on the other side of the portal. "Uriel! Long time no see!" Zeruel said happily.

"You smell like sulfur." Uriel replied. "And I wish I was equally happy to see you."

"Is this about how I nearly chopped your wing off?" The head of the dark angels asked. He cocked his head to the side. "It was just a little accident."

"I do not care if it was an accident or not, an angel without their wings will not survive for long. And I am quite sure you would not want the blood of an arch angel on your hands." Uriel replied evenly.

"Ruby, isn't it that guy who fought with us against you-know-who?" Ashleigh asked.
"You're quick" Ruby replied, "Zeruel, may I present Ashleigh Motou or the future Queen, Princess Malenkia."
"Ruby......" Ashleigh groaned.

"A pleasure, Princess Malenkia." Zeruel said, bowing. He didn't take his eyes off her, though. He smiled. "I hope you'll enjoy your stay here."

"Just call me Ashleigh, it's easier than to hear princess all the time" Ashleigh replied.

"You don't like your title?" Zeruel asked, frowning. "You certainly look the part, my lady."

"I'm known as Ashleigh, and still will be after the crowning is done" Ashleigh replied.

"I see then," Zeruel replied. He turned to Uriel. "You said that you were going to explain the entire issue when you arrived."

Ashleigh turned away.
"I'm not proud of it" she said.

"Ashleigh has her aura linked with her emotions tighter than normal." Uriel replied. "She's lost control on several occasions, and I am aware that the dark angels have the skills to cope with them and control them."

"On top of that, I burnt Master Uriel's hands and made him passed out" Ashleigh added.

"No serious damage has been done." Uriel replied. "Nor is it permanent."

"So? I still feel bad about it" Ashleigh said, huffing.

"It will heal, Ashleigh." Uriel replied. He turned to Zeruel. "Wll you be able to help her?"

"She really needs help" Ruby said.
"Do not" Ashleigh resorted.

"It is for your protection as much as the protection for the others around you." Uriel replied. "Your aura is unstable and violent. That combination, if activated in the wrong way, could kill you."

"I rather die" Ashleigh grumbled.
"Now you see why she is here Zeruel?" Ruby asked, "soon her aura will activate and that's not good."
