“So, I have to go live on Earth with those humans to earn my wings?” Miyoung asked her Father who gracefully walked down the steps from his heavenly throne.  “My dear daughter that is all you have to do.” He gave her a genuine smile and patted her head softly.  “Great! I’ll be back in no time then, right?” She twirled to follow her father out of the chapel, her white dress flowing with the light breeze.  She smiled and skipped down the steps of the chapel staircase.  “My dear child, it is not that simple.  Go, go and do your good deeds, and don’t worry about doing what has to be done just to earn your wings.”

Miyoung pouted and puffed her bangs aside.  “Why can’t you just—” Her Father turned around and held his hand out to the direction of the gate in which she was supposed to walk out of.  “Miyoung, you know what you have to do.  We’ll all be waiting your return.”  He said and placed and soft kiss on her forehead, “Remember the rules now, Miyoung.  You will be tested, tempted, but don’t give in, your wings can be easily lost.”  He her cheeks as she nodded with determination, “Yes, Father, I understand.”  She whispered as she turned and started walking down towards the gate to Earth.

The angels opened up the door for her, “Once you step out of these gates, don’t turn back.”  They warned her as she nodded, “Yes, I remember.”  She whispered frightened.  “We’ll be waiting your return, Miyoung-ah.”  They said in unison as she nodded her head slightly, “Thank you.”  She stepped out of the gates of heaven and started walking towards down the long pathway.

She walked down a long white staircase floating in air.  At the end, she noticed an arch decorated with flowers of all kinds.  She sighed, “This is it…” She mumbled as she closed her eyes and walked through the arch.
