Abigael saw how the great flood was not rain falling down for a long time as the old scriptures and old movies talked about. Giant waves covered most of the Earth. Hundreds of thousands of people, both sinners and innocent died. The Angels had decided to correct their mistakes with one single and united action.

He saw how Dregnar, instead of helping Lacjner and Aekhem save as many humans as they could, disappeared right after the war. A lot of humans helped them even when they felt betrayed by them. They fought alongside them but the Angels shared no mercy to anyone. Mistakes erased by flooding them. Fortunately a lot made it to higher ground but lost members of their family on their way up. It was not fair, how could they do this after they supported them?. They didn't ask for the Angels to come. The Angels came one day telling them what to do, and how to do it, and which way the right way. How could they know what the right way was for them if they never had a chance to find out which was the right or the wrong way?

Before the flood, Aekhem begged Lacjner to talk to his brothers to reconsider and find another way to clean up what they considered was dirty. But time was coming to an end and time was to start again for humans, a new age where the Angels would not participate, just supervise from a distance and help only those who deserved their help. Mankind endured the journey until the end and learned how to take their undeserved punishment.

Abigael also saw how Aekhem returned to his human form without becoming a child again. He just became this beautiful blond man that blended with the remaining humans. A man that never got old, that didn't die, that never got sick and that never lost the brightness in his eyes. A man that adopted human costumes and only when his age or constant appearance caught their attention went back to his Angel form and flew to other tribes or groups to live among them for as long as he could.

Abigale's heart shrunk in pain seeing how Aekhem's loneliness grew with time. He was never able to have a steady relationship with a woman and whenever he thought he had reached some kind of happiness, time would become the obstacle to prevent it, his constant age and the fact that he could not procreate.

He had a time when he would opt to stay away from humans for decades. Even when the water started to slowly pull back and new land got populated by men new generations, Aekhem would watch from a distance. And just like any other human that feels the loneliest of them all, wanted to die. But his unasked punishment for doing something he didn't do, did not allow it.

Humans by nature were difficult to understand, teach and comprehend. The Father, beyond the Celestial, had decided to create them to His image and likeness but in spirit, not body, just their soul. And it was that body that did not allow them to communicate with their soul.

Seeing how difficult it was to just supervise them from a distance, the Angels at the Celestial decided to be among humans again. They found a way to go into the human body as soon as life was formed and they took possession of that body installing themselves in them. It was the only way to stay among them without direct intervention. The time they spent inside that body and the fact that they were in connection with that body, by the time they were born into human life and human shape and a few years into a child's body, made them forget who they were, just like any other human being, but it was possible for the other Angels to communicate with the Angel's inside the human body and remind them who they were in reality.

Lacjner was in charge of letting Aekhem know every time an Angel occupied a human body. Aekhem, obedient to the Angels desires would find these children and watch them from afar, observing them and helping them as they grew older as a stranger would help a person without expecting anything in exchange.

A lot of they came and went. Once they were told by other Angels who they really were and accepted they were as they were told, they tried to help humankind but they all failed. Men would always destroy their teachings and principles in time. Men always found a way to profit from it. And to their convenience and their convenience usually ended up not agreeing to somebody else's convenience and war among them was the result of these disagreements.
