PoV: Sonic

  The festival went on for three nights. The first night I tore down the Priests temple as the shrine maidens requested of me. I replaced it with an orchard of peaches and apples. Oranges, pears, pomegranates, and persimmons. I grew every fruit tree imaginable to have fruit for every season. In return, I grew huts for each of the girls to live in. The village had migrated closer to my shrine. It was now only a short walk away. When the festival ended, they let me leave with offerings of wine and sake. The village was free and happy. I still had work in the netherworld.

  As I finally returned through the portal, I saw that the land my garden was on had almost tripled in size. Before me was a large house with sliding doors and a bridge over the pond. My shrine here was now a replica of the one in the world of the living. The land was barren outside the garden, but it wouldn't be for long.

"Sonic! You're back!" Fleetaway met me at the door to the house, "This house appeared for you. The villagers have fully accepted you now."

"It's beautiful, though it is empty. We'll have to decorate it," I had my vine bring in a large log that I had them cut into a low table for us. I set in it the center of the room.

"We?" Fleetaway smiled, "You'll let me stay!"

"Yeah, so long as you help tend the garden and make some medicine. I can't handle a whole village of patients alone. Each one will need a set of scrolls for their health," I opened the front doors to our land, "We have a medicinal farm to start."

"Farm work is better than being an errand boy. Plus I get all the shrooms I want," Scourge got up and removed his coat, "Do I get days off?"

"Of course, I won't work you to death. You can invite your friends too. If they work, they get paid. Of they slack off, they won't," I stepped outside and began by growing herbs in rows on one side. Around the perimeter, I grew tall trees and hedges. I had all the land I could imagine.

"Alright!" Scourge took off to invite his friends, and I continued my work.

"Sonic... I..." Fleetaway followed me out into the field of mushrooms I grew for Scourge, "I'm sorry, for tormenting you the way we did. And I love you..."

"I know," I placed my hand against his cheek. I gave him a small kiss, "I'm letting you stay for other reasons too."

"Do you mean-!"

"Shh..." I hushed him, "You already know."

  Fleetaway hugged me as I continued to work. By the next nightfall, the island was covered completely in different fields and gardens for my medicine.

  My work only starts now.

PoV: 3rd Person

  Sonic had become a famed diety for the village and those around it. He kept his promise diligently. The farm in the village and netherworld flourished under Sonic's care, kindness, and love.

  After months of caring, the half-angle was soon rumored around the continent. Several visitors from around the lands came in search of his help to heal their own villages and their families from sickness. Emperors and  Empresses sent others to plead for a harvest blessing when their crops began to die. Sonic become all the more powerful.

"It's time. He's finally matured enough," a voice boomed as it stood from its throne, "Go now! Retrieve the angelic demon healer for me. Now!"

"Right away!" The group left without haste, setting out for the blue angel who healed all.

  The angel, Sonic.
