Conclusion Apollonia appeared at Ivy's place and saw Ivy playing in the yard kicking a ball around with two other girls. Hi Ivy, I am back. What are you doing? Repellia and Phonixa stopped playing and ran up to Apollonia. Hi, I am Phonixa and this is my sister Repellia. Wow are you ever pretty. Apollonia smiled at the two of them. Do all sisters look exactly the same here? asked Apollonia. No silly we are twins, said Repellia. Ivy came over and asked how everything went. Well it was kinda fun watching Viridian and Zatsuky using their weapons on all the creatures, said Apollonia. Alexa let me take care of the demon though. That was the best part for me. Okay everyone sit down and I will get us all an ice cream cone then I want to hear everything, said Ivy. What are ice cream cones, asked Apollonia. Ice cream is the best tasting food on the planet, said Ivy. I will be right back. Ivy went in the house and the rest of them sat on the grass. I love your wings, said Repellia. Can I touch them? Sure if you want, said Apollonia. Wow they are so soft, check them out Phonixa. Ya they are soft, much nicer that turkey feathers, said Phonixa. So you said you are twins, what does that mean? asked Apollonia. That means we grew in our mother at the same time and were born the same day, said Repellia. Oh okay, I wasn't born, God made me, said Apollonia. Well he sure did a good job at making you that is for sure, said Phonixa. Ivy called for Repellia to help her bring out the cones. I'll be right back, you are going to love eating ice cream in a cone, said Repellia. When they came out with the four ice cream cones they sat back down in a circle. Now you have to eat it slowly, said Ivy. It is very cold so just lick it like this. Okay, that looks easy, said Apollonia. She took a nice big lick. My god this is better than ambrosia, said Apollonia. What is ambrosia? asked Phonixa. It is a nice sweet treat that God gives to the angels sometimes. It is a chewy candy. Taste a bit like this ice cream but this is better. And won't make you go to sleep. Ambrosia makes you sleep? asked Ivy. Only if you eat more than one of them, said Apollonia. They can be very intoxicating. I'll stick to ice cream, it makes my wings nice and strong and you don't have to chew it, said Ivy. Now tells us all about how the battle went from start to finish. Ya and don't leave out the gross parts, we can take it said Repellia. Back at the palace after everyone had gone home, Ginger came out of the palace and walked over to Alieta. So is it was safe to come outside again? asked Ginger. Yep it seems that Apollonia really impressed Alexa, said Alieta. So Apollonia must be very powerful looking too then, said Ginger. Actually she doesn't, said Alieta. If you take away the wings she looks like a teenage girl, said Alieta. Very slim and cute looking like the twins. God must have his own reason why he made her that way and very approachable. Gabriel appeared beside Ginger and startled her. Sorry dear, my you are a jumpy one, said Gabriel. She may scare easy but don't get Ginger mad at you, said Alieta. Why will she hit me? asked Gabriel. No she will do something more effective, said Alieta. She will rip into you with words making you feel like an idiot but in her own sweet way. Ginger may not be a physical fighter but she knows how to defend herself in other ways. I will have to remember that, said Gabriel. So the reason I am here is to tell you that Apollonia surprised both me and God and not by killing that demon, that was expected. Okay so what did she do? asked Alieta. Well first you should know that even though God created a new body for her, the soul is not new for the most part, said Gabriel. I am unsure what you mean, said Alieta. Well normally a new body made in heaven that rarely gets made anymore is given a brand new soul. In Apollonia's case however God gave her the soul of a young girl that tragically lost her life because she had different ways of thinking about how things should be. What happened to her? asked Ginger. First off this occured not long ago across the ocean where governments rule with an iron fist and rules must be followed, said Gabriel. She was imprisoned then publicly executed to set and example to others. My god that is terrible, said Ginger. Yes but God figured this young very spirited girl would make the perfect angel for him because what she believed in was correct, just before her time and in the wrong region. Okay I think I am following you now, said Alieta. Good but you see normally a soul is not put into an new born body for at least twenty years or longer so that person can enjoy heaven which allows the soul to heal and personality traits can change some making the new born child a completely different individual. I told God we should wait some before giving the new body he created this soul but he said no and just said you will have one week to teach her things about being an angel then he is sending her down to earth as his new and very different kind of angel that will do things that he will not do. That surprised me to no end because that has never happened before and as I tried to teach her the do's and don'ts of an angel, Apollonia refused to agree with a lot of our ways and became a very hard angel to deal with in heaven and even tried getting the other angels to see things her way, just like she did when she was a human on earth. After the week was over God said it was time for her to go down but I told him she is not ready. He just smiled at me and said she will be perfect, just be there for her when she needs you. Okay so Apollonia is like the rebel of angels then, said Alieta. So what surprised you. She seems quite nice now. Exactly, she is very nice to people like angels are supposed to be but different to. Right now she is at Ivy's place sitting on the ground enjoying ice cream with Repellia and Phonixa also telling them all about her first adventure. So what is wrong with that? asked Ginger. Nothing at all but she befriended them very fast and is being a teenage girl all over again but this time with those three girls, especially Ivy as a best friend she will learn fast all about love and friendship better than I could teach her mainly because I am her boss and those three girls she considers her equal. Egual, Apollonia is way above them, said Alieta. Not really, Ivy can do stuff that Apollonia can't do and there is no greater love than that of two identical twins that went through hell together. So all that said, you will be seeing a lot of her from now on but treat her like you do with Ivy and the twins. They all respect you and will listen to your wisdom. I will keep and eye on things as usual but I leave Apollonia in your good hands. Then Gabriel vanished. Ginger giggled. Well Alieta how does it feel being the mother to a teenaged dark angel? asked Ginger. Not sure yet, said Alieta. It is time to crack open that bottle of wine in the ice box and have a drink or two. Now that is the best idea you have had today, said Ginger. Can I have some too. You know I don't drink alone, you get the bottle and glasses and I will meet you in my den, said Alieta. The End
