Summerford, Estaria

We cut to Era, walking home from his job as a tech support. He seems to be a bit tense, like he knows something is going to happen.

Era: (He's going to do it again, he's going to come up again and try to ruin my day again.)
Era hears flapping wings behind him.

Era: Sighs

Maro's wings are flapping frantically in the sky behind him. Maro lands on the ground and glares at Era.

Maro: YOU THERE, HEATHEN!

Era: Please stop.

Maro: WHY SHOULD I?!

Era: Because this is the 14th time you have confronted me about "my sins" after I threw you into orbit.

Maro: I DON'T CARE HOW MANY TIMES I'VE CONFRONTED YOU! YOU STILL NEED TO REPENT!

Era: Listen, the first few times you've confronted me, it was funny. We had some goofy Looney Tunes style fun, but god damn it you've really been a pain.

Maro: DID YOU JUST SAY GOD'S NAME IN VAIN?

Era: Here we go with this again.

Maro: OH YES, WE ARE GOING AGAIN. FOR YOU HAVE SINNNNED!

Era: Okay, say that you did call me out on my sin, so what. You've done so many crimes as a result of attempting to get your petty revenge on me.

Maro: I AM AN ANGEL, AND MY TASK IS TO PREACH. HOW DID I COMMIT CRIMES WHEN I WAS DOING MY DUTY?!

Era: Let's see...you've been arrested 8 times over the weekend, you destroyed property at both the place I shop, and the place I work, you broke into my house while I was sleeping, and my boss has a restraining order against you because you crashed his second wedding, which I was invited to.

Maro: ... I HAD GOOD REASONS TO DO THAT!

Era: Your good reasons went out the window the first time you were arrested, at the latest.

Maro: ... WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO, THEN? LET YOU GO TO HELL?

Era: Dude, I'm a concept. I don't go to Hell. I cannot die! You know this!

Maro: THAT MAKES IT EVEN WORSE! YOU WILL ROAM AROUND THE Earth, CAUSING PEOPLE TO SIN EVEN MORE! YOU MUST BE STOPPED!

Era: Honestly, you're doing more harm than I am. I threw you into orbit once. You've cost the city more in damages in four days than I have by accidentally touching things connected to the internet in four years.

Maro: THEY NEED TO REPENT! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, DO YOU? WE NEED TO FORCE THEM TO REPENT! THERE WILL BE NO HARM IF THEY REPENT!

Era: "We"? I hate to break it to you, but you're so pathetic, and annoying, that I don't even know what your name is.

Maro: MY NAME IS MARO! M... A... R... O... AND DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME PATHETIC AND ANNOYING!

He picks Era up with his wing and pins him up to the side of a building.

Era: You do realize that this isn't hurting me, right? Throwing you into orbit is nothing. Seriously, not even now have I shown any power that would be able to kill you.

Maro stares at him, his eyes suddenly turning angry.

Maro: DON'T... GRAHHH... F*CKING... GRRR... TALK.... GRRRRRRR... LIKE THAT! GRRRRRR.... GET IN... GRRR... HELL, YOU FREAKING BASTARD! GRRRRRRRRRRRRR...
