"Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."

-John 7:24

Archangel Uriel looked up.

"Another demon entered the fray eh?" Gabriel suddenly appearing behind his brother.

"Yes. Another lesser key. Alloces. Cain managed to lead him away from the populace, but what they experienced will be with them. Unless-" Gabriel interrupted him. "Already got that covered. I sent an angel down there to wipe their memories."

"And to relive Haniel of her duty I hope."

Gabriel and Uriel leaked back to see two more Archangels walking towards them at a steady pace.

The one who spoke took the form of a female. Dark skinned, short spikes black hair, sparkling purple eyes, athletic muscular body. She wore a purple vest that showed her powerful arms, black military pants, thigh high boots, armour gauntlets up to her forearms but didn't cover her finger tips. And to top it all of dark purple wings that illuminated her look.

She is Archangel Zadkiel, THE Angel of mercy.

Beside her is another Archangel, taking the form of a man. Pale skin, long wavy light brown hair, skinny, his eyes took an earthy green color. His choice of clothing is a simple green robes similar to that of a druid. His hand held a staff of healthy brown wood. And grass green light illuminated from his wings.

He is Archangel Raphael, THE Angel of Divine healing.

"Zadkiel. Not the type of clothing for the Angel of mercy eh." Gabriel smirked. Zadkiel did not look amused. "Mercy can mean many things brother. I can give you mercy by not taking your life and letting you go on your merry way, or I can give you mercy by taking your life and sparing you from this cruel world."

"Well that's one way of looking at it."

Raphael intruded. "If I may. Haniel is gravely injured and has not come and seen me. Instead she stays. This isn't something we take lightly, and angel's wings are their source of power. If one is injured or gone it drastically weakens them." Raphael's tone held worry.

"If all their wings are detached from them they no longer have a way into Heaven." Uriel decided to put his knowledge in.

"Let's not forget the unimaginable pain they feel once their wings are damaged." Gabriel decided to put his two cents in. "A simple pluck of a feather can cause some acute pain. I still remember the time I've had a headache the size of Texas that one time.... literally."

"Which is why I hope you send a message to the Angel you sent to make Haniel return at once! Lazy oaf." Zadkiel glared at her brother.

"Hey now, no need to be hurtful. I'm Heavens messenger I deserve to be lazy every once and a while. Anyways I sent my best delivery guy Cambiel."

Uriel raised a brow in confusion. "Your first student? Is that wise? He can be...kiddish..."

Gabriel gave a small chuckle. "Yeah, but he gets the job done. Plus he's an expert in the living world, he lo-"

"DON'T!" Zadkiel raised her hand and voice. "Say that word. Lest we bring our older sister here. And I'd rather not see her dejected face."

Gabriel immediately shut his mouth. "Right. Right after Cain fell too. She wanted them together again so badly."

Uriel gave a snort. "You don't need to be the Archangel of wisdom to know that those two will never be together. SHE will look at him with rage and disgust for what he's done."

Raphael held a finger up. "You know, healing isn't just the wounds, it can also be the heart as well."

"Raph, you're asking for a miracle from God! That will never happen!" Joked Gabriel.
