## Story

   There is a taboo among the Angels.

This taboo of interracial marriage is in place due to the fear of passing on impure bloodlines. Tradition has it that only Angels of pure blood may receive Anunnaki’s blessing.

Therefore, when Johanna, the Angel of the Stars, married Virion, the Black Dragon Prince, of the enemy faction, their union was bound to end in tragedy.

Even when the Angels imprisoned her in the Divine Inquisition, even after being subjected to round after round of interrogations, Johanna had made her choice.

“Having granted Theresa the surname Virion, I hold no regrets.” This was the only thing Johanna said when being condemned by Moira, after which a heavy silence fell.

“Diluting the blood is against everything that makes us Angels. Think and repent!” The Angels turned their heels and left.

Johanna gently patted Theresa’s head, and a loud sigh echoed throughout the Inquisition. Johanna had already forgotten how long she had been imprisoned. She also couldn’t say just how many old friends and acquaintances had come to persuade her to give up. However, her mind was filled with Virion and Theresa, there was no room for anyone else.

Johanna could still remember the first time she met Virion.

At that time, Virion was being hunted by Beastmen and became seriously wounded. Johanna had hidden away her wings and wore plain garments, posing as a human magician to hide in plain sight. At first glance, Johanna felt he was different from other dragons. He radiated determination, pride and confidence, but she felt as if it was all just a well-honed mask. She wanted to understand him.

“Female Angel, get out of my sight! Even wounded, I can still crush you with one finger!” Johanna remembered it clearly: Virion was very weak at that time, but there was something special about him. Perhaps it was his domineering way.

Johanna didn’t pay him any heed, she patiently began to bandage and heal him.

Virion howled and tried to get away, but due to his severe injuries he was completely helpless against Johanna’s magic. His only choice was to comply.

As Virion realized that Johanna meant him no harm, he gradually began to relax.

“Don’t think that I’m grateful just because you helped me,” Virion, who at this moment nearly resembled a mummy, said in an attempt to intimidate Johanna.

“I only did what I thought should be done, that’s all.” Johanna appeared tranquil.

“I’m going to kill you for sure! You hypocrite!"

Johanna gave Virion a faint smile. Virion went speechless.

Johanna’s eyes sparkled like the stars and her youthful splendor was apparent.

Virion felt as if he were struck by lightning; he was completely captivated by her.

“I’ve tended to your wounds, you should be healthy enough to leave in a few days’ time. As for the Beastmen outside, I’ll send them on their way. You ought to be more careful in the future.”

Johanna will remember it forever. As she turned away and left, Virion said: “Woman, you are mine now.” It was that natural, as if ordained by nature itself.

After she had chased away the pursuers, the first thing that Johanna uttered when she returned was: “But, I don’t even know you!”

“I’m Virion, the Black Dragon Prince.”

“I’m Johanna, the Angel of the Stars.”

“I know.” Virion was silent for a while, and then said, “I'm smitten with you, and it has nothing to do with Angels.”

However, good times are always short-lived. The time spent traveling with Virion was the happiest in Johanna’s life. She witnessed his strength and pride. She also saw the loneliness he had repressed deep in his heart. She came to realize that Virion traveled the Grace Continent because he yearned for freedom. During their travels, they made many joyful memories. She came to know many of Virion’s friends, and realized not all Beastmen were enemies, for example, the Wildfang named Agnoto. She also came to understand Virion and the dragons’ current predicament and the feelings he harbored for his older brother. She even learned about the Shade of the Red Dragons, a flirtatious woman living on the Highwind Plateau with feelings for Virion.

Good times are always merry, but short-lived. Following the crystallization of their love, Theresa Virion was born. This was the last straw for the Angels.

Under the leadership of Moira and Alecta, a pursuit began to capture the three‘taboo’breakers.

Their circumstances became more and more dire, and each day was filled with danger and uncertainty.

Virion couldn’t bear letting Johanna, the mother of his child, endure life as a wanderer. He decided to return to the Highwind Plateau by himself and reclaim the throne, and when the throne was his he would bring back Johanna.

Johanna waited for Virion’s return. Unfortunately, the ones who came for her were the Angels guided by Alecta.

During her days in the Divine Inquisition, she had to face interrogation and being consoled by former friends. However, she uttered not a single word, all she did was hide Theresa behind her back.

Johanna regretted nothing she had done with Virion. The only two things gnawing on her were the Angels’ refusal to forgive her, and the fact that Theresa had lost her freedom and was imprisoned as well.

Johanna never tried to hide what she had done with Virion. She told Theresa their story, about how proud and strong her father was, and how much he loved them. The only thing she couldn’t explain was why Virion had never sent them word, and because she was unable to answer this crucial question, Theresa became stubborn.

The hands of time turned slowly, slowly toward that faithful day.

On that day, she got word that they would receive their judgment.

On that day, she got word of how Athena had pleaded for her and her rescue.

On that day, she got word that Audric had been sent by Athena to rescue her.

On that day, she saw Agnoto, she saw Pan, she saw many of Virion's friends. She also got word that Virion had been imprisoned.

It was the longest day of her entire life.

On that day, Johanna, the Angel of Stars, and Tabitha saw the light of day again.

On that day, the Divine Inquisition was clouded in smoke, and baptized by ice and fire.

On that day, the Angels split and divided into three factions: Moira’s, Fortuna’s and Athena’s.

On that day, the Angels began a new chapter.
