The legend of the dinosaur tail known to be in the land of grandeur was a sort of a second garden of Eden and now it was made of gold with brick streets. Now that the great battle was over, and the gates of hades were closed forever everyone lived without fear in glory and gratitude. The community knew that without the assistance of God’s fleet of angels and their mini angels the pale ones would never have been able to win the great battle. As a reward of fighting three by three, an angel of God with a mini angel and a pale one the land of grandeur was turned from wood to gold and the streets were paved in brick instead of dirt. Many of the job positions were expanded and some positions were compromised from doing a specific duty to performing a different duty. A good example was the security throughout the city, they went from protecting the community from the dangers of Beelzebub’s minions to simply assisting them with minimal daily tasks. Now the various beasts and mythological creatures walked amongst the pale ones instead of hiding in the forest as before. The general population was in high spirits and functioned by faith alone however, the royal family was grieving the loss of one of their own. The nurse practitioner had just passed away with childbirth and now her husband Stephano was left alone to raise their son with the assistance of the royal family and a personal nanny. Stephano who as a human was a French man did announce that the boy child was to be called Aramis which was French meaning ambitious and filled with religious aspirations. The boy child’s mother, the nurse practitioner’s name was Aralene, so the child had been named from both parent’s names as the mother had discussed doing prior to going into labor with the child as they already knew the child was a male child. There were two names the child’s parents were trying to determine which would be most fitting so Stephano, the father picked the name that Aralene, the mother was partial to in her memory. The royal family felt that Stephano had done well in naming the male child and now her memory would live on. The royal family knew that it would take some time for Stephano to bounce back from losing his wife after having her for only a year but knowing her and loving her ever since they were pale ones. Now that Aralene had just passed Stephano took baby Aramis out to the royal family to show him off and everyone doted over him, everyone agreed that he looked just like his mother. When everyone was finished admiring Aramis, they wanted to go congratulate Aralene then Stephano announced that she passed in childbirth. The entire royal family was shocked and distraught. The royal women advised Stephano to take his son and love on him while they went to prepare Aralene for a viewing and burial. The royal men took Stephano into the castles family room, so they could be of some support for the sudden death of his wife and try to put his focus on his male child Aramis. The royal men reminded Stephano that he was a royal member of the family and that they would all be there for him no matter what the time was or what the need was. Stephano was grateful to them and referred to the chief as his father since he was the community’s patriarch. Stephano referred to the rest of the royal men as his brothers and firmly believed the relationships would last a lifetime. Stephano felt the same for the royal women, they were his sisters and would be for a lifetime. Stephano was grateful to the royal women for preparing his wife for the viewing and burial because he would not be able to do it on his own, he was not even sure he would be able to handle viewing her body later. The thought of placing Aralene’s body below the dirt in burial did not settle well with Stephano but he knew he would have to come to terms with the whole unfortunate event both personally and publicly.

The royal women were working diligently to prepare Aralene for her viewing. The women had cleaned her body up from the laborious delivery then picked out a dress that would accentuate her features as well as cover the battered parts of her body. The royal women made the decision to dress Aralene in her wedding dress and prepare her as though she was about to marry. The women did her makeup then her hair in an up-do with flowers. Sharonna went through Aralene and Stephano’s home to get the bouquet of flowers Aralene had used in her wedding to place over her chest to help hide the slight deformity sustained during cardio pulmonary resuscitation. Once the royal women finished with Aralene’s body she looked like a living breathing woman waiting to walk down the aisle to be wedded. The royal women cleaned the bed and had the maid come to discard the bloody bedding then remake the bed for Stephano. With Aralene and the bed room tasks completed the royal women went to the castles family room in search of the royal men and sure enough that was where they were. Armellya announced that Aralene was prepared for the viewing and the bed room was cleaned up so the men helped prepare Stephano to go view his deceased wife, as best as could be done. Armellya took Aramis from Stephano and the whole family went to Stephano’s home to view Aralene. The chief stayed close to Stephano because he felt that Stephano might break down when he viewed his deceased wife’s body. When Stephano got a glimpse of Aralene from a distance he began to weep uncontrollably and collapsed to the floor. The chief knelt next to Stephano and questioned him if he wanted to leave the room and Stephano replied that he needed to go to his wife. The chief stood up and helped Stephano to his feet then they started to gradually move to Aralene’s lifeless body. The chief and Stephano had finally gotten to Aralene and Stephano seemed to fall into a trance of some sort. The chief placed a hand onto one of Stephano’s shoulders and questioned if he was okay and Stephano commented on how beautiful his wife was even in death she was the angel she had been while she was alive. Stephano leaned over Aralene and gently kissed her lips then verbally expressed that he loved her and would keep everything about her as possible alive for himself and their son and that he would be with her again someday. Stephano gradually stood upright then wandered unsteadily out of the bed room to his family room now that he had conveyed his last words until he should perish and rejoin her. The rest of the royal family viewed Aralene in couples of husband and wife teams and speaking their last words to her. It was now time for Aralene to be placed into her coffin and for the burial service to take place at the cemetery with the original preacher. Stephano still had a demanding time accepting that Aralene would be covered in dirt where it would be damp and dark, she had always been afraid of the dark. Stephano also knew eventually the bugs would find their way to Aralene’s body and her body would decompose. The thought of those things made Stephano’s heart break.

The royal men dropped the viewing table down into the coffin and closed the cover to prepare to take Aralene to the community grave yard for the funeral service and burial. The royal men took on the role of Paul bearers and loaded the casket into the back of a buggy for the chief to drive and have Stephan up front with him. The women rode in the back of another buggy driven by Jaden and the rest of the royal men rode their horses. Andrew went to the religious hall to retrieve the community’s original preacher while everyone else went to the community cemetery. As the preacher and Andrew were getting to the area where Aralene was to be buried the royal men were placing the casket next to the dug-out hole for the casket. Everyone gathered around the coffin as the preacher got to the head of the coffin to proceed with the burial ceremony. The preacher spoke the words of God and blessed the passing of Aralene into the kingdom of heaven then everyone placed roses on the top of the casket and moved away for the next individual to place their rose on top of the casket also. Once everyone had finished placing their rose on top of the casket they reloaded onto the buggies and horses then sorrowfully returned to the castle. The new stable boy took care of the horses and buggies while the royal family gathered into the castles private dining hall for a light dinner before going to bed. The kitchen staff had dinner ready and had been keeping it warm so as soon as everyone was sitting in their designated spots the kitchen staff could serve everyone. It was an unusually silent meal as everyone was grieving the loss of Aralene and the fact that Aramis had to grow up without a mother. The dinner hour was cut short because everyone mostly picked at their food and just wanted to go home and ponder their grieving process as they prepared for the bed hour. The family verbally expressed their love for one another and assured Stephano that their doors would always be open to him then everyone went to their houses. Each couple discussed how they could help Stephano get over the shock of his wife’s death and work through the grieving process. It was not long before the hour of sleep arrived, so everyone prepared for sleeping and their visit with their mini angels. The midnight hour was upon the underground city of gold, so it was time for most everyone’s mini angel to go to them and sing their beautiful wake up song. Aralene’s mini angel went to visit Stephano along with his mini angel to give her condolences and vowed to keep a watch over Aramis as a messenger between the deceased mother and her boy child. Stephano questioned the mini angel if she really had the ability to communicate with Aralene and the mini angel assured Stephano that she did have communication with Aralene. The mini angel revealed that Aralene could visit him and Aramis as well for she was now a free spirit living in the heavens. Aralene was not an angel but she did have some limited angelic abilities, she just needed to learn of them and master them. Stephano was overjoyed to hear his wife could still be a part of the family but that information lead to many other questions.

The mini angel knew Stephano had questions and she was full of answers, but the exchange of information had to be gradual. The time for the mini angels in the castle to return to the dinosaur tail had come so they expressed their love and best wishes to their pale ones then as their pale ones returned the verbal expressions of love the mini angels disappeared. All the castles occupants apart from Stephano had fallen back to sleep. Stephano was thinking about what he would verbalize to Aralene and how they both would be affected by the brief encounters they would have. There were only a few hours left before it would be time to awaken for the new day, but Stephano just had to speak to Jaden and Armellya right away. Stephano left his house and went to Jaden and Armellya’s house then knocked on the door. Jaden grumpily got out of bed to answer the door then found it was Stephano and Jaden’s demeanor changed immediately. Jaden called out for Armellya as he invited Stephano into the family room and shut the front door. Armellya sleepily stumbled into the family room then suddenly awoke fully when she noticed Stephano was there. Armellya and Jaden sat on the couch next to one another while Stephano sat in a luxury chair that faced the couch. Jaden questioned Stephano if he was okay as he reassured Stephano that he could be open and honest with he and Armellya. Stephano revealed what Aralene’s mini angel had told him and the winged couple replied that what he revealed would be wonderful because it would allow him to still have her in his and Aramis’ life. Stephano was not sure if he could continuously see Aralene leave him and Aramis until the next visit. Armellya advised Stephano to try to handle the visitations and if he could not handle the repetitious goodbyes to speak to Aralene about it to try to come up with a solution. Jaden agreed that there may be more she could do, or she could stop visiting and simply observe them from a distance, in most cases there would be some sort of a compromise. Jaden and Armellya volunteered to go to the dinosaur tail by astroprojection and speak with the mini angels about the situation and try to get specific answers for him. Stephano was somewhat relieved but replied that he would appreciate them going to the dinosaur tail. Armellya spoke of going to Aralene if it was possible for them to do so and speak with her directly about the situation. Stephano was even more relieved to hear the winged one’s offer of visiting Aralene directly even though at that point it had a fifty-fifty chance of occurring. Stephano questioned when would be the best time for Armellya and Jaden to visit the mini angels and Aralene, the winged ones replied they planned to do those duties immediately after the breakfast hour and wanted him there while they were doing those tasks. Armellya informed Stephano that they would take on the duties prior to the breakfast hour but the breakfast hour was at hand. Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano left the winged couples house and went to the castles family room to wait for the whole family to be there so Andrew could lead everyone to the castles private dining hall. Andrew and Camillia were already in the castles family room but no one else had arrived yet so the five of them held a casual conversation while waiting on the rest of the family members to show up. Andrew and Camillia felt Stephano was doing better that day than he was the previous evening and it did not appear to be a facade.

Finally, the whole family was in the castles family room, so Andrew led everyone to the castles private dining hall. Once everyone was seated in their designated seats the kitchen staff served the royal family their morning nutrition and the family noticed that there was a sort of peace that had come over Stephano. The royal family held casual conversation at first and Stephano happily engaged in the conversation. However, the casual conversation fleetingly turned serious as the family mentioned Aralene. When Aralene’s name was accidentally mentioned by Sharonna everyone grew silent and glanced over at Stephano. Stephano smiled then began to share with the family that his mini angel revealed Aralene was not gone. At first the family took Stephano to be in worse shape mentally than he even knew to be. Stephano continued to explain that Aralene was not an angel but had some angelic abilities. She was living in the heavens and could come visit them anytime. The rest of the royal family members were speechless and held a confused expression on their faces. Stephano voiced that once Aralene mastered her angelic like abilities it would be as though they never lost her, and their son would be able to know his mother. Everyone thought about what Stephano had shared from his mini angel’s revelation and became elated that they would still have Aralene in their lives. The royal family knew things would not be as it was with Aralene but having some part of her was far better than nothing at all. The family now had multiple questions and Stephano voiced that he had the same questions, but the mini angels would only reveal what they knew as time went by, so he had no answers for the royal family’s questions. Stephano promised to inform the family as he received information bit by bit and the family was satisfied with that. The family started to focus on their nutrition even though it was no longer warm when Aramis’ nanny entered the castles private dining hall in a state of panic. Andrew stood from his chair and darted over to the nanny to try to calm her down. Whatever had the nanny so distressed was too much for her to verbalize. That nanny was always able to handle anything and extremely difficult to alarm so Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano rushed to Aramis’ nursery, the nanny refused to reenter the nursery. Aramis’ nanny demanded to speak to the chief in private about why she refused to go back to Aramis’ nursery. The chief led Aramis’ nanny to his office room where they could converse in private. Meanwhile, when Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano entered Aramis’ nursery they were shocked to see Aralene leaning over Aramis’ crib and playing with him. Aralene stood upright when Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano entered the nursery. Aralene silently moved closer to Stephano with one hand stretched out as if to get him to extend an arm so they could hold hands. Stephano did hold out his arm in hopes of holding his wife’s hand and be able to feel her touch again. Stephano and Aralene touched and it was not like flesh on flesh, but he was able to feel her essence. Aralene put her free hand on Stephano’s cheek then gave a loving smile and disappeared. Now Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano knew what had the nanny so shaken-up.

Stephan picked up Aramis then they, Armellya, and Jaden left the nursery and went back to the castles private dining hall. When Stephan, Aramis, Armellya, and Jaden returned to the castles private dining hall the chief and Aramis’ nanny was there also. The nanny and the chief had completed their discussion and the chief had explained to the nanny what had occurred and that it was a normal event. The nanny was recomposed and willing to take Aramis back to his nursery and continue with her duties. With the nanny’s permission, the chief announced that she was mortified when she saw Aralene in the nursery hovered over Aramis’ crib and touching him. The royal family was astounded to find out Aralene had returned so soon so now they really wanted answers to their questions but knew the information would come with time. The royal family knew that they could not rush anything in the situation that involved Aralene, even she had to wait on the passing of time to be able to be the most she could be for her family. Aralene would have to figure out her angelic abilities and strengthen them on her own as far as the family knew. The royal family hoped and prayed that there would be another spirit to help Aralene master and know of her abilities. Stephano was just on cloud nine to be able to see his wife again and for now that was satisfying enough. Now that the encounter with Aralene was over everyone finished their morning nutrition then expressed their love for one another and went their separate ways to start their day. The kitchen staff cleaned up the big round table then started on getting the lunch nutrition ready with Melanie’s supervision. The chief and Sharonna went to arrange some appointments for conception healings for that day to be done by the winged ones after the lunch hour and family time. Armellya and Jaden went to their own house to dress in their part as king and queen to go out into the community and socialize with the public. Matthew went to supervise his security officers. Stephano was in his house relaxing and reminiscing about Aralene even though he was supposed to be at the hospital. The hospital gave Stephano some time off for grieving the loss of his wife, but he felt it would be best to work to keep his mind occupied on other things for a time, so he was going to return to the hospital the next day. Camillia and Andrew were staying at the castle to discretely keep an eye on Stephano in the event he should become distressed again over the loss of Aralene. Stephano came out of his house and wandered through the castle for a bit just thinking about Aralene, he wandered about how their relationship would be now. When Armellya and Jaden came out of their house they found Stephano wandering about silently with a perplexed expression on his face. Armellya questioned Stephano if he was okay but he never answered her. Jaden knew he would be lost if Armellya was to perish so he wanted to do all he could do for Stephano. Jaden turned to Armellya and suggested that they astroproject to the dinosaur tail and try to get some information from the mini angels for Stephano about Aralene. Armellya felt that was a wonderful idea and agreed to astroproject with Jaden to the dinosaur tail. Jaden caught up with Stephano and informed him that he and Armellya were going to go to the dinosaur tail to see what they could find out about Aralene. Stephano questioned if the winged couple would be able to get any information from the mini angels because they would not tell him. Jaden assured Stephano he and Armellya would find out something and if not, they would fly to the heavens themselves.

Armellya and Jaden arrived at the dinosaur tail and lovingly greeted their mini angels then the mini angels returned the greeting of love. Armellya spoke with her and Jaden’s mini angels while Jaden spoke with Stephano and Aralene’s mini angels. The winged couple had many questions and would not accept that the answers would come in time. Armellya and Jaden made it known that they wanted to know everything the mini angels knew during that visit, so they could help Stephano and Aralene to be together in the best way possible. The winged couple was more interested in how to help Aralene to know and master her angelic abilities, so the winged couple bluntly questioned the mini angels what Aralene’s abilities were. The mini angels were hesitant to reveal anything because it had always been customary for the spirit of someone to have to want their abilities for them to become known to the spiritual individual. Armellya and Jaden warned the mini angels that if they refused to assist them than they would fly to the heavens and get the information they were seeking anyway. Armellya’s, Jaden’s, Aralene’s, and Stephano’s mini angels took the winged couple away from the dinosaur tail to reveal what they knew of a spiritual individual’s abilities and how to strengthen the abilities. Before revealing anything the four mini angels warned that they could be destroyed for disclosing the information that they sought because it was tampering with fate. Armellya and Jaden reviewed the pros and cons of getting the mini angels involved in their quest for help with Aralene’s situation and concluded that it would be best to fly to the heavens and get the information from a source closer to God. The winged couple was not sure they would receive answers from the heavens, but they had to try for Stephano’s sake. Jaden and Armellya went back to their, Stephano’s, and Aralene’s mini angels and thanked them for their willingness to reveal the information but that the winged couple could not condone putting their lives at risk. The mini angels expressed their gratitude and love then the winged ones expressed their love and returned to their bodies. When Armellya and Jaden were back to the castle Stephano anxiously questioned what the winged ones found out. Armellya and Jaden explained to Stephano that if the mini angels were to reveal anything it would be putting their lives at risk, so the couple were going to fly to the heavens for answers from angels who had direct contact with God himself. Stephano agreed that he did not want the mini angels to be destroyed for giving information they were not supposed to give. Armellya and Jaden went out of the castles front door and took flight to go to the heavens for the information they were seeking out. The winged couple was near the heavens when they were met by an angel of God. The angel of God requested to know what Armellya and Jaden’s business was for them to be in the heavens. Armellya expressed her love and respect for the angel of God then the angel voiced his love for her and Jaden and again requested to know what their business was. Jaden replied that the royal family had just lost an important individual during childbirth and were seeking answers to her abilities as a spiritual individual and how to strengthen the abilities she did have. The angel of God questioned if the winged couple was speaking of Aralene and Jaden confirmed that they were.

The angel of God admired the winged couples desire to help Stephano keep a relationship with his wife in the best way possible. However, the angel of God was not too interested in revealing the abilities of Aralene now that she was a heavenly being. The abilities varied depending on their desire to exist in the realm of the living, but the angel of God voiced that he would help the winged couple as much as would be allowed by his master, God himself. The angel of God informed Armellya and Jaden that he needed to go for a brief time to speak with his master about their situation which God already knew about, but he needed to find out how God would allow him to help them if God would allow it in the first place. Jaden replied that he understood the angels position and would wait for his return for as long as it took for him to address the situation with his master. The angel flew higher into the heavens and gradually disappeared. Approximately five minutes later the angel of God started to come into view as he was flying back to speak with the winged couple. When the angel was close enough to view his facial features, it was obvious that he had a pleasant relaxed expression on his face. It was difficult to tell if the angel’s expression was just an angelic look of being a heavenly entity or if it was an expression of good news. Once the angel of God landed on the sun in front of Armellya and Jaden he revealed that he had some pleasant news for the couple. The angel voiced that his master had given another angel permission to give them all the information they requested and more. The angel wanted Armellya and Jaden to go back to the castle and make sure Stephano was in his house and the chosen angel would meet the three of them there, the winged couple replied affirmatively then thanked the angel of God. Armellya and Jaden gave thanks to God then flew back to the castle. When Armellya and Jaden entered the castle they immediately started to search for Stephano and promptly found him just aimlessly wondering about the castles hallway. Jaden called out to Stephano then Stephano turned about to face Jaden then Jaden requested that they go into his house for some privacy about some positive news. Stephano became motivated and speedily headed for his house with Armellya and Jaden trying to keep up. Stephano, Armellya, and Jaden entered Stephano’s house then Jaden announced to Stephano that one of God’s angels was going to be with them shortly then Stephano questioned what the angel was going to be able to do for their situation with Aralene. Jaden replied that the angel they spoke with approached his master for permission to give full assistance with helping Aralene find and develop her abilities and another of God’s angels was given God’s blessing. Suddenly an angel of God appeared in the presence of Stephano and the winged ones, but it was not the angel that Armellya and Jaden had spoken to previously as the winged ones already knew would be. Armellya recognized the angel then with a voice of question she uttered the name Michael then the angel affirmatively replied. Jaden and Armellya hugged the angel and the angel hugged Jaden back as Jaden informed the angel it was great to be working with him again. Armellya revealed to Stephano that they were in the presence of Michael the archangel and during the great battle she and Jaden had worked together with Michael the archangel to prepare the community for the great battle. Jaden introduced Stephano to Michael then informed Stephano that he and Michael would be working closely together.

After the greetings were over Michael revealed that he was there to help Aralene find out what her angelic abilities were and to strengthen them. Michael also revealed that he was there for Stephano and the boy child Aramis because it would take some work on their part to help Aralene to develop her skills. Michael voiced that Aralene had more angelic abilities than most spiritual beings in that she could live in the world she left behind if she so chose to, but she had a limited time to make that decision. Michael informed Stephano that if Aralene decided to live in their world she would need a body and she could use her original body so long as it was not in too bad of shape, but they would need to exhume her body, so her spirit could reenter into it. Stephano questioned Michael about how they would get Aralene to visit so they could speak to her and let her know what her options for living were and reveal her abilities as well as how to strengthen those abilities. Michael replied that he could summon Aralene to the house and they could speak to her about all the things of concern and desire. Stephano was ready to start the process of getting Aralene back for himself and their child Aramis. Michael let Stephan know that Aralene was currently in the nursery with Aramis if he wanted to go converse with her and bring her back to their house. Without words Stephano rushed to Aramis’ nursery to get to Aralene before she left and when Stephano got to the baby’s nursery he immediately started to speak to Aralene. Stephano informed Aralene that Michael the archangel was in their home to help her to be with him and their baby then she disappeared, Stephano did not understand why Aralene had suddenly disappeared because she had not learned how to speak to the living yet. Stephano was saddened that Aralene left and did not go at his side back to their house with him, so he went back to his home intending to reveal that he did catch sight of Aralene, but she hurriedly left. However, when Stephano entered his home he realized Aralene understood what he was voicing and left the nursery to go to their house for the help Stephano had mentioned. Because it was nearing the lunch hour and family time Michael informed Stephano that he would start working with Aralene in his absence and hopefully when Stephano returned Aralene would be able to speak to him and the winged couple. Stephano was not very hungry and voiced that he would let the family know he would eat in for the lunch hour and family time, so he could spend the time with Aralene. Michael was fine with Stephano’s decision so Armellya and Jaden verbalized that they would inform the family of his decision to eat in and they would eat at the castles private dining hall and return after family time. Stephano thanked Armellya and Jaden for their support and voiced that he looked forward to their return from the lunch hour and family time and to just walk into his home, they did not need to knock. Armellya and Jaden expressed their love for Michael and thanked him for his help then gave hugs to Stephano and voiced their love for Aralene then left to go to the castles private dining hall.

Armellya and Jaden went to the castles family room and like usual, everyone was waiting for them before Andrew could lead everyone to the castles private dining hall. Jaden informed the family that Stephano would be eating in for the lunch hour and family time and to thank them for excusing his presence. Now that everyone else was in the castles family room, Andrew led everyone that was there to the castles private dining hall and they got seated at the big round table. The kitchen staff brought out the lunch nutrition and served the royal family. As everyone ate they went around the big round table sharing how their day had gone so far and what their day still held for them, it was a rather relaxed day for everyone. The lunch hour and family time went by speedily then everyone expressed their love for one another and went their separate ways. Armellya and Jaden when directly back to Stephano’s house eager to find out how things had gone during their absence. As Stephano ordered the winged couple did not knock on Stephano’s front door, they just entered with the intent of going to his family room. Armellya and Jaden got to the family room and Aralene was still there with Gabriel and Stephano. Gabriel continued to engage with Aralene while Stephano moved toward the winged couple, so he could update them on the progress they had made since they had left for the lunch hour and family time. Armellya and Jaden could not wait to hear about the progress, it sounded like he and Gabriel made a considerable amount of progress. Stephano revealed that Aralene could speak now, she found out how to remain amongst the living for however long she desired, and now she was being educated by Gabriel on how she could live again. Stephano revealed that Gabriel was giving Aralene the steps of what would have to occur, but he missed some of the details in leaving their sides to catch up the winged couple on what had been accomplished so far so they had better swiftly return to Gabriel and Aralene’s sides, the winged couple agreed then they moved back over to Gabriel and Aralene. When Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano got back in the direct presence of Gabriel and Aralene, Aralene made sure to make it known that she missed the family and that she appreciated Jaden’s attempt to save her life but that there was a purpose to her passing. Gabriel announced to Armellya, Stephano, and Jaden that Aralene had chosen to return to her body and live amongst the living but things would still be a bit different than before. Jaden intervened in Gabriel’s announcement and questioned how soon Aralene’s body needed to be exhumed then Gabriel answered Jaden by replying as soon as possible, if not sooner. Jaden informed Stephano, Armellya, Aralene, and Gabriel that he was leaving immediately to gather the royal men to retrieve Aralene’s casket to bring it to their home and they could do whatever was necessary to get Aralene back into her body. Armellya hollered for him and the rest of the men to be safe then the next thing she knew Jaden was closing Stephano and Aralene’s front door. Jaden got to the castles family room and rang a bell that was in there that when rung meant there was a critical issue that required the entire family’s attention. Within minutes the entire royal family was present and silent just waiting for the bell ringer to announce the emergency. Jaden pulled a foot stool to the center of the royal crowd then stood on top of it to make his announcement and assure he could be seen by everyone.

Jaden started his announcement by thanking the royal family for responding to the bell so promptly. Jaden then informed the family that it was vital to exhume Aralene’s body and bring the casket to Stephano’s family room and he would answer all questions later because there was no time at that point to waste. All the royal men except Jaden went directly for the castles front door and got the buggy ready then decided that the chief would drive the buggy, the rest of the royal men would ride their horses. While the men were headed for the community cemetery to dig up Aralene’s coffin, Jaden requested that the royal women stand by, so they could assist with getting Aralene’s body redressed and make her look as though it was just another day instead of her wedding day appearance. The women acknowledged Jaden then started to go to Stephano’s house when Jaden warned them to not be surprised when they entered and envisioned Gabriel the archangel. The women replied that it would be nice to converse with him without it being for some reason that was negative in nature such as the great battle. It did not take long for the men to get Aralene’s casket out of the earth and onto the buggy then they rode hard back to the castle. Not very long after the royal women got into Stephano’s house, the royal men were on their way through Stephano’s doorway with Aralene and her casket. The royal family was stunned to get a glimpse of Aralene with Gabriel but were not afraid. Gabriel requested that Armellya, Jaden, and Stephano stay in Stephano’s family room while the rest of the royal family wait for Armellya, Jaden, Stephano, Aralene, and himself in the castles family room. Everyone did as was requested then Gabriel and Aralene worked together to get her back into her body. The royal women did not get a chance to redress Aralene’s body, but they knew when it was time they would be able to do that. Back in Stephano’s family room Jaden and Stephano opened the casket and found Aralene’s body to be in the same shape as it was when it was initially placed in the coffin and that was a great sign for a speedier recovery of Aralene. The better the shape of the corpse, the easier it would be for the spirit to reenter the corpse. Gabriel gave instructions one step at a time to Aralene to revive herself in her old body and the winged couple found it to be a precise and tiring process for Aralene. Once the process was to be complete Aralene would have to rest for several hours and during that time her flesh would have to regenerate from the rigor mortis and slight decomposition before she could show herself to anyone other than the winged couple, Stephano, and Gabriel. While Aralene would be sleeping and allowing her flesh and spirit to become one again was when Armellya and Jaden would explain the news of Aralene’s new existence to the royal family and Gabriel would assist with the explanation while Stephano stood vigil over his wife. The former death of Aralene was not publicized so the community would not know that Aralene had come back from the grave by the gift of God and assistance of Gabriel the archangel. Aralene had to lay her spirit into her flesh then accept the breath of life that Gabriel would be giving. Laying in the body and accepting the breath of life would not be tricky but regaining coordination and regeneration would be difficult and exhausting for Aralene.

Once Aralene laid her spirit into her flesh Gabriel gave her the breath of life with the wave of his hand then Aralene took in a deep breath and cried out. She was in excessive amounts of pain from the broken ribs and contusion of the sternum sustained during the cardio pulmonary resuscitation to save her life just prior to her demise upon the completion of childbirth. Stephano started to reach out to the coffin to hold Aralene and Gabriel grabbed Stephano’s arm to stop him from touching Aralene because touching her at that point would have intervened with keeping her spirit from settling into her damaged flesh. The free spirit was not naturally able to enter a damaged body as it was to enter a healthy body known to be possession. Gabriel announced to everyone there that Aralene had to fully regenerate prior to having any contact with another pale one so until she could get out of the casket on her own that was where she would have to stay. Stephano questioned Gabriel about how long it would be before Aralene could move out of her coffin and Gabriel replied it would take some time, but he could not truly answer that question since those types of situations had individual timing. Stephano wanted to know if Gabriel had dealt with the type of situation that they were dealing with right at that moment. Gabriel replied that he had many lives he had spared due to orders from his master, God, and bringing Aralene back to them and allowing her to return to her previous status as though she had never perished was only possible because God gave him the order to do so. Stephano understood it was up to the master of when it was time for an individual to pass into the next phase of life and leave this world, but Stephano also knew that the master could save lives that without divine intervention would otherwise end in someone’s demise, that had been seen in the humans repeatedly. With the thought of divine intervention in mind Stephano wanted to know why if they were bringing Aralene back why did she have to die in the first place. Gabriel reminded Stephano that life was a constant learning situation full of change and that he and the rest of the royal family had to find out what they needed to learn from the death and reviving of Aralene. Armellya and Jaden intercepted into the conversation between Gabriel and Stephano before Stephano could speak another word because they knew his heart was filling with animosity. Armellya warned Stephano to keep his heart full of love and forgiveness because if he did not God would be forced to address him according to his negative disposition then Stephano simply sat down next to the casket and kept silent. Jaden commented to Stephano that silence would not hide his negativity from God because God knew everyone’s hearts. Stephano broke his silence and made sure the winged couple knew that he was angry about the fact that God had taken his bride and new mother of his child from him. Gabriel cut Stephano off and started to explain that it was not for him or anyone to question God but to learn from things that occurred in their lives both good and bad. Stephano got an expression of a crazy man as he stood up and calmly strolled to his kitchen. Jaden had a bad gut feeling and stood up from the couch then started to go to the kitchen to find out what Stephano was up to, but Gabriel verbally stopped Jaden from going to the kitchen revealing that Stephano was going to come back into his family room to rejoin them within seconds.

As Gabriel stated Stephano did return to his family room but he still had that crazed look on his face and his shirt was disheveled which it was not before he went into the kitchen. Gabriel moved from the head of the casket to stand between Armellya and Jaden. Gabriel knowing what Stephano was thinking and about to do next took one of Armellya’s hands and one of Jaden’s hands and held onto them tight. Armellya and Jaden had tried to read Stephano’s thoughts, but he had his thoughts blocked from being telepathically read which was atypical. Stephano had remembered Gabriel voicing that touching Aralene before she had regenerated and gotten out of the casket on her own she would stay as a spirit. Stephano had been moving about sluggishly then suddenly Stephano pulled a knife from behind his back that he had tucked into his waistband, slit his throat from ear to ear, and laid into the casket to die with Aralene. Because Stephano had severed both of his jugular veins he bled out hastily. It was Jaden’s first response as a doctor to go to Stephano to try to save his life but as a family member Jaden felt obligated to help Stephano. Armellya was shocked at Stephano’s suicidal action and was ready to assist Jaden in attempting to save Stephano from himself. Gabriel continued to hold the winged couple back as it was fate that Aralene and Stephano be together in the spirit world. Once there was no way to help Stephano Gabriel let go of the couple’s hands and moved back to the head of the casket. Gabriel used his angelic ability to move objects with his mind to place the cover of the casket back on top of the casket. Armellya spoke of how romantic that it was that Aralene and Stephano were to be buried together in the same casket although, she was not condoning Stephano’s action of suicide. Gabriel commanded Jaden to gather the royal men to rebury the casket and place a sentimental tombstone atop the grave. Armellya became saddened for Aramis because he was now going to grow up without both of his parents and she knew Aramis would ask questions about his parents one day. Armellya dreaded the day she would have to reveal to Aramis that his father committed suicide over the loss of his mother and his mother died giving birth to him. Right after Armellya had thought about the well-being of Aramis she, Jaden, and Gabriel witnessed the rise of Aralene and Stephano’s spirits intertwined with one another. It was sentimental yet odd looking because there was some sort of undefinable shadow in the middle of the intertwined spirits. Armellya and Jaden tried to identify what else was with the two spirits, but the spirits ascended too abruptly for Armellya and Jaden to fully investigate the figure between them, Gabriel was aware of what the figure between Aralene and Stephano’s spirits was. As soon as the spirits ascended Aramis’ nanny came bursting through the winged couple’s front door in a state of panic with Aramis in her arms. The nanny cried for Jaden to help the boy child because without warning he stopped breathing and she could not find a pulse. Jaden snatched Aramis from the nanny’s arms and on the spur of the moment Jaden knelt putting Aramis on the floor of the living room and proceeded to recheck for a pulse and breath. Just like the nanny, Jaden failed to find signs of life in the infant, so he began cardio pulmonary resuscitation. Gabriel bluntly informed Jaden that his spirit had already left his body so there was nothing that could be done to resuscitate the boy child. Armellya questioned Gabriel if the child’s spirit was what they saw between Stephano and Aralene’s spirits and Gabriel regretfully replied affirmatively.

Gabriel informed Armellya and Jaden that it was meant for Aramis to be with his parents in the glory land of God. Armellya questioned Gabriel if Aralene, Stephano, and Aramis had the option to visit the royal family periodically and Gabriel replied that it was possible and entirely up to Aralene and Stephano as to whether they wanted visit or not. Jaden questioned Gabriel if he and Armellya could get in contact with Aralene and Stephano to still have them in their lives and Gabriel responded that only he and Armellya could contact Aralene and Stephano as the winged ones because they could fly to the heavens but Aralene and Stephano did not have to accept their invitation for contact. Just then Aralene and Stephano appeared before them and spoke to Armellya and Jaden to let the winged couple know that they would regularly visit the winged couple in their house around the hour of sleep. Armellya and Jaden stated that they would look forward to their nightly visits and would miss them in their fleshly absence around the castle, things around the castle just would not be the same for anyone without their constant presence. Without another word Aralene and Stephano instantly disappeared then Gabriel informed Armellya and Jaden that his work there was finished for now and he must return to heaven then he swiftly disappeared also. Armellya and Jaden knew they would have to explain things to the royal family about Stephano, Aralene, and Aramis but they were not sure how to gently take care of that whole event with composure. Jaden’s only thought on their explanation was to be forward and blunt but for now the royal men needed to replace the coffin with all three bodies back into the grave the coffin originally came out of. Armellya went to gather the royal women in the castles family room while Jaden collected all the royal men to assist in moving the coffin to lay Aralene’s body back to rest with Aramis and Stephano’s bodies with her to rest as well. The chief went out of the castles front door to get the castles new stable boy to hitch one buggy and the rest of the men would saddle their own horses. The royal men struggled to carry the casket out to load onto the buggy while noticing it was heavier than before but they all hesitated to speak a word about it. Jaden knew that there were a lot of questions floating about the men’s minds because of his use of telepathy so Jaden announced that when they returned to the castle they all needed to gather in the castles family room with the women then all the men shortly acknowledged Jaden. After the men got the casket loaded onto the back of the buggy the men delegated the chief to drive the buggy to the grave site and the rest of the men saddled their horses then they all swiftly left the castle without delay for the community cemetery. Now at the cemetery the royal men carefully unloaded the casket then attentively lowered the casket back into the hole that was dug up for Aralene. The men worked hard to rebury the casket with the dirt that was on the sides of the six-foot by six-foot hole. It took about forty-five minutes for all the royal men to get the grave back into proper shape as it should have been and all that was left to do was to have a sentimental marking made up to have posted at the head of the grave.

Fortunately, the grave site appeared to have never been disturbed and the men were proud of their work and they all voiced to one another about how unadulterated of a job they had done. The men did not hang around the cemetery any longer than what they had to so the chief hurriedly drove the empty buggy back to the castle while the rest of the men followed the chief riding hard on horseback. When all the royal men returned at the castle the new stable boy took the horse and buggy from the chief while the rest of the men unsaddled their own horses for the new stable boy to finish caring for the horses. The royal men entered the castle and headed straight for the castles family room to sit with their wives as Jaden had previously instructed them to do. With everyone in the castles family room Jaden announced that he and Armellya had some information to share that was rather saddening. Jaden stated that everyone knew that Aralene passed away from childbirth then he revealed that Stephano committed suicide by slitting his throat from ear to ear severing both of his jugular veins, so he would die and be back with Aralene in spirit form. Then Jaden announced that Aramis passed away as fate would have it, but he did not suffer, it was simply that his heart stopped during his nap and he never awoke, it was like a case of crib death. Jaden revealed that Gabriel the archangel was with them
