In the under world

Israfel had an argument with his father, Hades, the king of the underworld. He decided to have a walk in the forest. He needs to cool down a bit or he will burn down his room again. His anger can burn a whole city if anyone goes down to his bad side.

Israfel is one of the children of Hades way back 1978, when hades snatched few young maiden and impregnated them. Hades, has the ability to impregnate a women and give birth in a week. He snatched 5 young maiden until a son is born. He had five children to this five woman. Moira, Shadow, Umbra, Osiris and Israfel, he stopped when a prince was born. These children can reached their adulthood within five months and stopped growing when they reached the age of eighteen. Israfel is the youngest, he is the son of Hades to a beautiful young woman, who was then discovered as an angel in disguise, Parisa. Parisa was sent to earth to disguise as an ordinary human being to look for the lost Angel Aniela. She was snatched by Hades and conceived Israfel. She was locked down for a week until Israfel was born. Hades, doesn't have any idea that Parisa was an Angel in disguise until Gabriel came down from heaven looking for Parisa.

Hades almost killed Israfel when he found out that his mother is an Angel, but when he saw the eyes of his son turned to red and was able to create fire in his hand, he let the boy live and became the only prince.

Israfel loves to go out from the underworld, he loves the trees and birds singing, he loves to chase animals in the forest until one day, when hades and Israfel got into an argument. Israfel decided to go out from the underworld and roam around the forest. He sometimes disguised himself as an ordinary young man, so he can roam around the place. He usually goes down to the village to buy some stuff like clothes and foods he wants to taste.

There is a place he often visits but never tried to enter. It is the church of St. Agustin in the town plaza. There is a strong force that is pulling him to go inside, but never dared to do so. He was afraid that his father will find out and cause another fire in the village. 

Every time he felt the force, he decided to go back to the forest before his father finds out that he went to that place again. That's when he saw the two woman walking near the forest. He was hypnotized by the beauty of the younger woman.  He felt a strange throbbing in his heart, his eyes turns to green, that's when the wind blew.

"I think we need to go back home" aling Juanita told Maria

It was when she felt the sudden change of the wind blowing.

"B-but why, I though we're going to get some flowers in the forest" asked Maria

"I-I think, we'll come back some other time… I suddenly have stomach cramps" Aling Juanita said.
