ADB [Light in the Dark]

 CHAPTER 03 In a hidden, rusted shipping container in a quiet alleyway...  Outside, a gentle rain patters against the metal, but inside, the air is thick with the warm, reassuring scent of milk, dust, and pure maternal safety. To the universe, they are cosmic entities on a divine trial. But to the tiny, blind, and deaf creatures wriggling in the dark, the universe is simple: it's warm, it's soft, and it breathes. Stella and Bella have officially descended. In this mortal form, their grand angelic memories are temporarily submerged, replaced by the intense, vivid instincts of newborn kittens. Stella—a tiny white puffball with two dark smudge marks right by her ears—wiggles aggressively through the pile of fur. Her tiny pink nose twitches, tracking the scent of milk.

A few feet away, a young Stella and Bella stand side-by-side, gripping basic training swords.  Their eyes are wide with absolute starstruck adoration. Stella is gripping her sword hilt tightly, whispering loudly... "Bella, look at her. She’s literally just standing there, not even using her wings" Bella nods rapidly, her eyes sparkling. "I know! She tied the blindfold on herself without even looking, Stella. Do you think she can hear our hearts beating? I heard she can cut down entire mountain ranges with a single swing of her swords…" Stella punches the air with her free hand. "More than that! She’s a war goddess! I've seen the way she fights!
