The angel

Beginning

People often think of heaven as a beautiful and rich place, full of pure and enchanting gods and goddesses. It's where holy angels live, offering more comfort than any place on Earth. Many people desire to enter this paradise, hoping to become pure and gain the respect of the gods and goddesses. At least, that's what they think about the goddess who is supposed to be pure. 

They believe that the gods and goddesses are righteous and holy, offering salvation and guidance to those who seek it. However, what they don't realize is that they are actually being manipulated and controlled by the gods and goddesses for their own selfish purposes. Instead of receiving true enlightenment or freedom, these people are unknowingly becoming slaves to the desires and ambitions of the very divine beings they worship and admire.

A goddess angel plummeted from heaven, her wings battered and broken, leaving her helpless and unable to save herself. She could no longer soar through the skies; all she could do was gaze up at the divine realm from which she had fallen. As she stared into the distance, the faces of the gods and goddesses faded into a blur, their once-radiant visages now shrouded in darkness. 

From their lofty heights, the deities looked down upon her, their expressions twisted with satisfaction and pride. There was no compassion in their eyes, no offer of rescue—only cold indifference as they reveled in her downfall. The fallen angel's heart ached with despair, knowing that those she had once revered had abandoned her in her most desperate hour. She was left alone in her suffering, a pawn in their game, while they savored the taste of her despair.

She plummeted to the earth, crashing behind the home of a 60-year-old man, her fall echoing like thunder. The sound jolted him from his chair, nearly giving him a heart attack as his frail body struggled to process the chaos outside. Yet, as he stumbled toward the noise, he felt an unexpected warmth spread through him—a miracle brought forth by the fallen angel. 

With adrenaline coursing through his veins, he rushed to her side, his heart pounding not just from shock but from an inexplicable sense of purpose. He knelt beside her, the sight of her wounded wings piercing his soul. Without hesitation, he gathered her fragile form into his arms, cradling her as he carried her inside. Laying her down on the softest mattress he could find, he felt a mix of disbelief and wonder. How could it be possible that a celestial being had landed in his ordinary life? As he looked at her delicate features, the air thick with unspoken questions, he realized that this moment could change everything. The old man, who had lived a quiet and unremarkable life, now found himself entwined in a story far beyond his comprehension—one that had begun with the breathtaking fall of an angel.

The angel, weakened and vulnerable, transformed into a small child as a defense mechanism. Her once majestic wings now faded, and her body, fragile and powerless, had taken the form of an innocent young girl. The old man, named Theor, watched in astonishment. Despite his age and frail appearance, Theor possessed the strength and vitality of someone much younger, though he rarely showed it.

Seeing the angel now as a helpless child stirred something deep within him. His protective instincts flared, and his heart softened. Though he was just an ordinary man, he suddenly felt an overwhelming responsibility to safeguard this childlike being. Without hesitation, he knelt by her side, gently covering her with a blanket.

In that moment, Theor knew that whatever trials lay ahead, he would protect this fallen angel with all the strength he had left.

Theor had neither a wife nor children, yet his knowledge of caring for a child was profound, as if he had already embodied the role of both father and mother. Though he had lived alone for years, there was a tenderness in him, a nurturing instinct that seemed natural and effortless. It was as if life had quietly prepared him for this moment, to become a protector and caregiver when it was least expected.
