Grand Angel

Chapter 27: Years Of Lies

Unknown amount of time later

Remiel was fixing her hair, dressed in normal human clothing while standing just outside of the last home at the edge of the village.

She turned to stare up at the mountain, smiling and wiping her eye before she walked around the corner.
She immediately bumped into somebody, causing them to fall to the ground.

"Oh my goodness, I am deeply sorry." She said as she reached out to a young man on the ground.

He looked up at her, smiling as he saw her beauty.
"Wow...um...no worries..." He said.

Remiel smiled and helped him up to his feet, the two walking together.

"Well...that was quick." Raguel said, standing at the edge of the cliff with her arms crossed and looking down at the city.

Her hair was now short, just stopping at her eyebrows while she had lost some muscle mass. She had made herself a dress out of silk, purple and orange colors shining out brightly while it ended just past her knees.

"It appears that living amongst the humans won't be so bad after all." Michael said as he stood next to her.

Michael's hair was even longer and dirtier, but pulled on top of his head and using twigs to keep it up in a bun. His beard was filled with dirt and stretched out to his chest. He was only dressed in fabric wrapped around his waist, acting like a kilt.

"How is she doing?" Raphael asked, using an iron hammer and pick on a large boulder to create another sculpture.

He was dressed in very elaborate clothing, with a multitude of colors all faded and very unsaturated.

"She found a Human lover already." Michael replied, still watching over the city.

"Already? Good for her." Raphael said while his attention was still on the boulder.

Gabriel was sitting on a pile of rocks, holding a large piece of wood. He was observing it, seeing that it had a hole at one end but not the other.

It slipped from his hand, a sharp piece of rock stabbing right at the end without the hole.
Gabriel frantically grabbed it and lifted it, observing the hole.

He brought his eye close, exhaling through his mouth when a tone left.

He jumped, surprising himself.

He brought the stick to his lips, blowing it softly as a consistent note played from the wood.

"Interesting." Gabriel said softly.

He then proceeded to take the sharp rock, ripping it out of the ground with ease and stabbing in more holes along the side.

He put his fingers over them and blew into the end, creating one tone.

He lifted one finger and changed the way his lips and tongue moved, another tone replacing it.

He jumped in shock, staring at the instrument with bewilderment.

"What are you doing?" Raguel asked.

"I...I think I..." Gabriel started.

Grand Angel walked down from the temple, making his way towards his children.

His body was still made out of the Universe, sparkling and shining from small stars covering his dark skin while a robe made out of gold was wrapped around his body like a monk.

"Father! Look what I have created!" Gabriel said.

He began to blow into the piece of wood, changing his finger positions and changing which ones he covered and uncovered.
