I feel completely broken inside. It seems to me that heaven has become corrupt. Sabotaging a human soul just because I "allegedly" caught feeling for a human soul.

But I will not give up this easily. I decided that I have to be the one to bring up my idea in court but I have to execute this perfectly or else no one will be on my side. I gather as much evidence as I can that this idea  of redemption just might work.

As I wrote essays on different ideas and reasonings a certain calmness comes over me. Maybe this is my purpose. Maybe I'm the one that must fix heaven and wash it clean of the darkness that now coats it. Maybe that's why heaven needed me

The day finally comes to present my idea to the council.  I walk in with a stack of essays that I've written. Nora is sitting towards the middle and she gives me a wave but I ignore her gesture.

I take a deep breath and start "Imagine the world where even the darkest souls have the potential to be redeemed. Just as a light pierces through darkness, our compassion can reach even the deepest pits of despair. Let's consider the possibility that within the inferno of Hell exists a flicker of hope. With our help we can help those sinners nurture and transform themselves into beacons of light once more".

The council leans in and they actually look intrigued about what I'm talking about. The Seraphim cuts through the whispering angels and asks "Are you saying the sinners should be allowed in heaven"?

I simply shake my head and say "Yes but, only if they can prove themselves of being worthy by being a better person".

Sera simply shakes her head and says "I love that you have compassion in your heart for even the sinners down below but, a sinner has never been redeemed before, what makes you think that you can redeem a demon"?

It's a good question but I just say "Well we know Lucifer is a fallen angel so that proves that angels can fall, so why can't a sinner be redeemed and rise to heaven?"

This gets all the angels talking amongst themselves and a flicker of hope ignites within my heart. Sera continues and asks "How would you even go about redeeming sinners".

I grab a paper from my stack and go over my ideas. Is say "Well as you can probably guess Hell's atmosphere is not great for sinners for it tempts them with bad stuff. I think that if we make some kind of area or building that are free from the bad temptations that engulfs Hell, then sinners will be more likely to stick to the plan of being redeemed".

I watch in suspense as Sarah ponders the idea for a good minute. The Hope flickering inside me grows bigger as I watch Sera weigh her decisions.

Then she holds out her hand to silence the crowd and she says "In theory, it's a good idea, but I simply cannot allow demons to be up here in heaven. It would be a threat on all of us, and I simply cannot risk that".

My stomach sinks to my toes but I stick my ground and say "You're thinking about it all wrong. We're not just letting sinners come up here and do whatever they want. We're only letting the ones that have proven themselves better. They have prove themselves better. That way they won't be harming any of our angels".

Sera gives me a look of pity and says "I'm sorry Grace but, it's simply too risky, my final decision is, no".

Anger fills my senses, and without thinking, I say "So you're just gonna forget about all the souls that you've ruined and just let them rot away in Hell?!"

All the council angels pause and stare up at Sera with a questioning like look. I glance up at Nora who has gone completely pale. Sera then raises her hand and transports me to her office.
