Heaven's New Recruit

Chapter 2-Explanation

Rose

Here she was again. Tending mortals, Pearl and Damian always gave her that role. This particular mortal was especially annoying and very inquisitive. They were lounging in her 'water bubble' as  Rose and Damian called it. She had met the siblings two years ago, after being transferred to the M.I, and they all had become great friends. Though much had transpired during that time.

"What is that thing anyway?"Asked the mortal. She had forgotten how much mortals didn't know about the world in general.

"That is what we call a fallen angel"answered Rose. 

"So demons, gods, angels, and monsters all exist?".He must be feeling scared after seeing the fallen angel she thought. She glanced at him and was surprised to see that he looked greatly amused.

"Basically there was a war between demons and gods in 1847. In the end, most of the demon population was exorcised and all the gods died except four. They passed on their powers to the mortals to help the angels protect the mortal realm which is the Earth. So now we are known as spirit-users and have the ability to control a respective element. Fire, water, air or electro"

"Huh, Electricity is an element?. Shouldn't it be Earth like in Avatar ?" asked the mortal.

"You mortals use electricity and uproot trees and build cities which in turn destroys the earth or Geb according to Egyptian mythology. On the other hand, these activities fuel the life of electrical or lightning-related gods such as Indra, Zeus, and Jupiter. Though their physical form has been permanently destroyed"

"Also, You still watch Avatar?"She snickered. 

Simon flushed "What!?,Am I not allowed to? Also, my name is Simon, not mortal"

"Oh, you are. If you are a 9-year-old,"

Simon looked puzzled and Rose managed to discern it."What?"

"I still don't get how Zeus, Indra, and Jupiter are all lightning gods but are separate."

"I never said they were separate. They are the same god."

"But ho-"

A massive crack appeared in the sky where the Harut had appeared. Out of it appeared a three-headed dog emerged, its eyes glowed bright purple and could be seen from miles away. It left a purple contrail as the massive creature landed on the ground.

"No way that's The Cereberus.Probably some anílikos hellhound who overindulged" she said. But she didn't believe it herself, the sheer size of the creature was massive.

"Shouldn't you go help them?" asked Simon. He wanted to see the creature up close, all this talk about gods and demons had fired him up. He wanted to leap into action and fight but he was pretty sure that the dog would just use him as a chew toy no matter how many uppercuts he did.

Rose bit her lip. She wanted to go so badly and help them but she knew that she had to trust and believe that her comrades will take care of it."

"Im on babysitting duty, I can't leave my post unattended"

"Babysitting duty? Hey ! Don't need to be rude." 

"Says the 15-year-old who watches Avatar," murmured Rose. " I'm guarding you instead of helping my friends so be grateful".

A figure floated through the air from the battle towards them. It reached them hovering on the top. She couldn't clearly see through the water but she recognized its humanoid shape to be either Pearl or Damian.
