Leviathan followed the nurse's usher to the room. Leviathan watched the small board nailed in the door, 'Langston Wright. '
"He should be here by now, if not, you can come in and wait until his arrival. I will now go, " said the woman before leaving the place.
Leviathan only nodded once before he turned the knob and entered the room. Instead of sitting per the words the nurse offered, he whispered, "Come out."
Hallow who thought he was called looked up only to flinch in surprise when he saw the shadow that rushes underneath him like the fast current of a waterfall.
"Search for the documents with the name of Yvonne Merchat, Cyril Ann, and Wallace Easton. Waste no time, " ordered Leviathan, snapping his hand away for his shadow to move on its own.
Hallow watched how the shadows moved out like large claws. It pulled the shelves around them, pulling open the cabinets which held documents and pull them out as if to check whether it was the same documents that Leviathan needed. They were similar to working any to Hallow who only follow the word of their Queen; in this case it was their king.
"What are you doing here?"
Leviathan stared at Hallow as if he was deciding what to do with the grim reaper. Killing him was easy, so easy but then his dearest daughter appeared to take a liking into the chick. Therefore he decided not to act on his urge to squeeze the chick to death and lighten his burden.
"I am searching for the person who had caused my daughter and my wife sufferings by whispering humorless rumors and a phoney curse on my daughter, " a rigid and deep rolling anger could be heard, causing even the shadows that were working to stop their body for a moment in startle before going again.
Seeing that Leviathan seems like he needed his own time, Hallow decided to keep a quiet mouth.
The work which might take more than a day only needed around fifteen minutes sharp with the amount of shadows that worked to find the documents. Hallow had seen Elise's shadow but Leviathan's shadow ass clearly the original inside him there was perhaps more than a thousand working shadow.
Hallow gulped. Has this demon been walking with his armies?
"Great job, " Leviathan said, pulling open the document, he began to read. Fortunately, the morgue belonged to the Church, therefore considering the need of neat explanation, the needed cause of death was written carefully in details and the drawing on the side of the parchment showed the wounds that the body received.
"Yvonne, death of a deep injury on her neck, died because of blood loss after falling from the meadow, " said Leviathan aloud.
"Huh?" Hallow who had heard of the explanture voiced his confusion, "How can a woman fall from a meadow and die?"
"Apparently she had stepped on some bad luck and fell straight to a very thick and sharp branch with pieces her neck, " answered Leviathan with a click of his tongue."This death is too easy to know as a foul play."
"You mean someone killed her. Who?" Hallow question curiously. Before when he was still a grim reaper he was also that one reaper who would questions everything he sees up until his Senior scolded him for his noisiness.
"Who knows, " Leviathan answered and in instance his eyes that were black turned gold and cold, "My best bet that it is someone who had also push me into the prison of hell and I will be dragging that person to the end of Hell. It will be a little torture tour for them."
"What about the other two?" Hallow inquired and his eyes read the papers that Leviathan laid on the desk, "Drowning accident and illness. Illness? How cans you fake an illness? It says here that the man named Cyril suffered from a lung illness and dies. Doesn't seem like there is any trick in this one."
"No, " Leviathan answered, "If I am going against a Demon or an Angel this is something possible considering the power they might have, " he answered with a gap of his fingers as the shadows that were outside him came back under the pool of his shadows.
Hallow narrowed his eyes. Is this the reason why Leviathan had been on his own business? Searching for the person who had caused his families suffering?
"What do you mean by demon or angel? Is Elise being targeted?" Hallow asked with a light frown between his brows.
"Since birth, my daughter had been targeted. Whatever being it is they always find themselves knocking in our peaceful life, wanting her power, " Leviathan explained, remembering the time when they were still together. At that time Elise was still three years old. She had been sleeping when all of a sudden Elise had went missing from her room despite the windows being locked and the doors as well.
'I am going with you!' Adelaide said with haste, her expression was filled with worries.
'Don't worry and stay here. Keep a look out around here once I found her, I will... ' Leviathan weren't able to complete his words as a knock came on the door. Giving his wife a look of caution, he then went to the door, opening it for his black eyes see a tall man standing in front of the door. Their eyes met and he noticed it was an angel with bright golden eyes.
The angel who had came knocking on their doors had half of his lower face covered. His hair had been long enough to curl and cover over his forehead, making it difficult for Leviathan to identify who it was but then Leviathan rarely associate himself to know who this man is.
'You are an angel, ' Leviathan turned wary and hearing the small cry of baby Elise his calm black eyes swirled into the bright golden color, 'So this time it is Heaven who is here to kidnap her. '
'No, ' a peaceful voice came from the angel. 'I am here to bring her back home, I noticed two demons coming to get her. You might want to be more careful in the future. '
Leviathan didn't understand how measly two demons could enter his house without his knowledge. While he was taken aback by the information, he pulled back little Elise who was wrapped in the bundle of light pink fabric, he looked up again to see the angel had disappeared.
'Who was that, honey?' Adelaide questioned as she had also seen the man's golden eyes while standing beside her husband with a frying pan.
'An angel. Adele I am sorry to say you this but we—'
'We need to move, I know, ' Adelaide completed his words, her beautiful brown eyes met her husband's black ones. They had just moved to the village and settle down less than a week but then they needed to move again for the power that Elise had as both the granddaughter of Satan and an Archangel it was difficult to suppress her infant ability and leave in secret.
'I'm sorry even though we have just came here, ' Leviathan closed the door, coming forward when Adelaide took the approach to leaned her body and hugged his arm.
'Silly you. I know you are doing this for me and our daughter. In the first place I won't blame you— how could I? You have casted aside everything for me, honey. We could live in Hell but you know that Hell's affinity with me and our daughter aren't compatible for us to live there. I am happy, as long as I get to be by your side. '
Leviathan's golden eyes sunk, Hallow continue to stare at him, and he continued his question, "Since infant?"
"Elise is born with more abilities than she knew. Those demons or relics who are blinded by greed thought that they could channel her power by killing or sacrificing her soul when her power is only for her, " Leviathan answered through gritted teeth, "All because of that damned scroll Asmodeus wrote about her being the strongest creatures on Hell that this started."

"Right!" Hallow jumped out from his pocket, and climbed over to the desk, "Those Relics are chasing and hunting for Elly as though she is a very tasty roasted meat and now dark sorcerers are approaching her! Her life is in danger and she is searching for you. I do think you are supposed to cast aside all this complicated matters for now and go to meet her."
Leviathan's eyes stopped its movements, his entire body seemed to be as if it had froze. He stared at Hallow as emotions begin to whelmed him but before he could speak the door to the room was opened.
"Excuse me, Mr. Adler, " said the same nurse from earlier."It appears that it will take a little more time for Mr. Langston to come and he would like you to come with him for now."
Leviathan's smile break, "That would be fine for me." at the same time without being noticed, Hallow jumped and slipped inside Leviathan's pocket.
"Follow me, " the nurse said and when she turned her body, her lips that were drawn straight curved into a wide ear to ear grin.
As Leviathan and Hallow had left the place, a different nurse had came into Mr. Langston's office with the doctor himself, "Mr. Adler is waiting here, sire."
Mr. Langston opened the door, clearing his throat before raising his eyebrows at his empty office."I don't see him?"
The nurse entered and tilted her head, "How strange but they were just here a moment ago."
