ANGELS ARE said to be among the few divine creatures to have ever existed. Indeed, they've known no bounds of their loyalty to both man and God, that is proof enough of their divinity. Beautiful creatures with immense power who willingly bow down to those who are lower in the hierarchy does make for a lovely fairytale, however duality is constant through everything. Just as darkness is the absence of light, and light is the absence of dark, divinity and damnation cannot exist without each other. They work like a perfect cadence together, one leads to the next without hesitation, a path that's been written in the staves of history so many times before that we wonder why the mistake is constantly made.
Isn't it possible, even in the most divine beings, that there has to be that sliver of coal balancing out the gold? As the coal is still useful, but the gold weighs more for what its worth. If there were no evil, how could we judge the good? That is how evil is useful; to weigh the good. For even the warrior of God must know to serve the well being rather than the cause, but as natural as it is for gold to turn to green, corruption turns to confusion, and those with the impurest of intentions manipulate those beautiful creatures to surrender, to belief that the cause is more important, no matter the casualties, which is where this story begins.
Indeed, the duality in creatures powerful enough to save the world means only that they have the power to destroy it.
