FADE: The Fairy and Devil

Nirav and Adhyant returned, this time with a softer approach. Akira sat on her bed, cuddling Nir on her lap.

"I'm really sorry, little flower fairy. I misunderstood you, and I apologize for my rude behavior. I hope you can forgive me," Nirav said gently.

Akira smiled and nodded in response to his apology, showing that she forgave him.

"Now..." Adhyant asked with concern, "you are a flower fairy, right? Why are you here in the human realm? I remember that flower fairies typically don't venture out of their realm, especially not a little being like you."

With a playful grin, she replied, "Oh, we don't usually answer questions from the heavenly realm!"

"Ohh...," Nirav said, looking at her with an eerie smirk. "Adhyant, I think she is lost in the human realm. Let's take her back to the floral realm. It could be considered a good deed, and maybe they will be happy with us."

"No! Please, don't!" Akira said, bowing her head with her hands together, looking genuinely worried.

Nirav continued to tease her, "Oh, I thought you wouldn't want to talk to anyone from the heaven realm."

"Okay, okay! I'll tell you," she replied, taking a deep breath. "Actually, I ran away from the floral realm."

"What?! You ran away? Did someone upset you there?" Adhyant asked, a look of concern crossing his face.

"No, not at all! I was just curious!" she said with a bright smile.

"Curious??" Adhyant echoed, his surprise evident.

"Yes! Ever since I was a child, I've heard so many amazing stories about other realms. So when I finally got the chance, I just had to escape and explore!" she said proudly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

"What is your plan now?" Adhyant asked.

"I've explored so many cities in the human realm, and Amidah was the last. It's sad that I won't be able to visit other realms. If I did, the Lord would surely find out," Akira replied.

"Then what about your absence now?"

"Years in the human realm are just days for us. She won't notice." She sighed, her voice tinged with sadness. "I guess I'll have to return to the Flower Realm. It feels like I'm giving up on something I truly wanted."

"Then... how about the Heaven Realm?" Nirav suggested.

"Heaven?!" Her eyes glittered with excitement.

*This is the first time I am meeting a fairy from the Flower Realm, and it turns out to be a nutcase... interesting,* Nirav thought to himself.

"But... I... the Lord will know..." Her excitement disappeared in an instant.

"Lord... what are you doing?" Adhyant whispered, confused.

Nirav patted him to reassure him and continued, "I can ensure that neither your Lord nor the people in Heaven will detect or doubt your identity. You can visit and stay in Heaven for days."

"Who are you?" Akira asked, looking stern.

"I am Nirav, the commander of the Heaven Army," Nirav said, summoning his badge into his hand.

Akira stood up, stumbling. "Why are you helping me? I will never betray my land and Lord."

"You don't have to betray anyone. I want your help," Nirav said softly. "I am investigating a case, and you might be able to assist me. Allowing you to visit Heaven is my reward for your help."

"I will assure you of your safety in Heaven."

"Okay..." she said, but the sparkle in her eyes was missing. He understood her concern and raised his hands, taking an oath to protect her. Lightning struck the skies, witnessing the pact.
