Aekhem

Celestial

V

Tusuer's biggest mistake that night and for a long time was to expect a thousand Angels coming down from the sky. He never expected one, two, ten Angels. Instructed by Aekhem, Dregnar made sure of this. So when they came to Earth before the attack, they did it in small numbers.

Aekhem instructed by Lacjner, his father, and some sympathizer Angels, part of the army, learned to do things that he already knew and somehow was remembering if he could call it that. At the same time he was transmitting both men and women as he was "remembering" this knowledge. Manipulating and throwing fire. Metal foundry for swords, axes, spears tips, and arrow tips. Levitating objects as well as each other. Will control, difficult towards the Angels, but to their gigantic, slow minded, and clumsy offspring a thought that did not come from them confused them for more than a minute and stayed looking at empty space, enough to bring them down and finish them once they hit the floor.

He knew that giving humans Angel swords would damage them in the long run, they would end up using them against each other. He thought about it a long time, took it into serious consideration, they would need a lot more weapons than the ones he was teaching them how to build. He decided to trust his father's army not to rely on that resource.

Dregnar came to visit with him frequently. He could see Senra's reflection on him. He was proud of Aekhem. But remembering her wonderful existence and presence made him also remember her tragic end. He rather concentrated on what was coming than what has come to pass. His wish to kill Tusuer was bigger than his duty to lock him away.

Lacjner spent time with his son as much as he could. He didn't become as Aekhem did but at least did not end up a giant idiot like Tusuer and his Angels offspring.

Bechner's child showed a lot of his father in him. Character, obstinacy, stubbornness, toughness, courage, strength, but they were only children that only thought of playing not fight a war.

Lacjner could see the love, respect, pride, and care that Dregnar and Aekhem felt for each other. All of that would end in a memory for Aekhem and Dregnar, either after the war if during the war one of them or both died. Lacjner did not know what to think all he knew was that it would hurt them just as much as if they died.

An Angel could live forever but it was as mortal as any other human being. The difference was once an Angel dies, it's gone forever, humans died often but they always came back, their soul was immortal.

When humans came back, they didn't know they came back. They forgot everything about their passed lives, it was their in their minds, their souls knew, but their minds didn't. Once they came back, their stories were broken, never to be relived again, or if they did it was never the same. An Angel like him or Dregnar could wait for someone to come back to live once they died and go into their minds and through their minds allow their spirit to remind them who they were and what they did in a subtle way so they remember by themselves, not forcing them to remember. If they did, humans could go into a deep silence for a while and then incomprehension of personality and reason for and of being. If they let them remember slowly then their past life could continue with all the knowledge acquired during other lives.

Unfortunately for Lacjner, he would not be able to dothis anymore with the woman he loved, the mother of his child. After the war,if he was still alive, he no longer would be able to talk to them or contactthem as he no longer would be able to wait for her during time. He told her hewould have to say goodbye and never to see her again once this conflict wasover. She didn't understand why after so many lifetimes knowing him now shewould never see him again but she knew that a higher being like he was had hisreasons and did not argue the motives. Sadness was all she felt and he did aswell. Her child would grow up to be a normal human being without a father, justlike Bechner's child.
