Michael. From all these leaders he's the only one who I'm willing to trust. Maybe it's because he's an angel, but he never once lied nor declined me a request, and that's something that very few people in my life hadn't done and I lived a very long life. It's thanks to him I took down God back in the great war. I never thought an Angel will sell out his idol that easily but I guess at that point every angel with a brain figured out god was insane.

I keep thinking about the future wondering how long it'll take before I die. There's an entire agency against me, there's an eldritch god who no doubt wants to devour earth and I'm spending every night running around rescuing folks like a fool. Still, better this than bearing the responsibility of leading an army and a provisional government.

Angel: Can I help you sir?

Y/N: I was supposed to meet with Michael. Where is he?

Angel: You are The Bloody Shepherd correct?

Y/N: That's what you people call me.

Angel: Please, come with me.

This place hasn't really changed much. Still looks like it's 1900. And this bright yellow glow is starting to irritate me.

Angel: Brother Michael. The Bloody Shepherd is here to see you.

Michael: Thank you brother Austin.

Y/N: This place seems to have recovered after I bombed it.

You used nukes.

Michael: You are mistaken, this is not one of those cities. We have moved capital recently.

Y/N: Good for you. You said you needed a favor.

Michael: Yes, I am a little ashamed to ask this of you but... there's no one else I can rely on.

Y/N: You need me to hunt some beast? Find a serial killer?

Michael: No, nothing of the sort. It's my sister, she's... I'm afraid she's too oblivious.

Y/N: She is an angel, Michael. This stuff is natural for her.

Michael: If she is to become a ruler of heaven one day then she needs to know more than she is thought.

Y/N: So what? You want me to teach her how kids are made, and politics?

Michael: I want you to take her out. Into a city so that she may see the outside world for once.

This surely won't backfire.

Y/N: You want me to take your sister who thinks the world is rainbows and flowers to a real life city where she may encounter sex shops and drunkards?

Michael: This is why I'm asking you. You know the world far better than anyone. You could avoid those parts entirely.

Y/N: I don't know about this. Ever since I killed god, angels can only fall by a signed document. Wouldn't it be better to just show her everything?

Michael: Remember what happened to Azazel. I would rather my sister not repeat her mistakes.

Weren't you the reason Azazel fell?
