The New Era

A new task

A shadow flew overhead and landed softly in a place mortals like calling 'heaven', the shadow closed its powerful feathered wings then proceeded to a white marble building. It then knocked softly, another winged figure opened the door. It was beautiful, with emerald green eyes, long golden hair, and ivory skin.

"Anapiel? What brings you here?" The angel asked politely to the figure in the doorway. 

"Our father has asked for your presence you must report to the first heaven." The angel who was called Anapiel informed. The other angel seemed to want to reply but kept his mouth shut, he exited his home and nodded to Anapiel. This one then extended her powerful golden wings and shot up, the other followed in the same fashion. They soon reached their destination a majestic ivory building, they landed in silence then entered the building. After walking through a long hallway they entered a large room, in there were several more angels, all of higher ranking than the one that was brought there. 

"Greetings Leo." A tall angel with silver wings spoke. 

"C-commander Gabriel! It's  an honor." The beautiful angel with the golden locks said in awe. 

"No it is mine,anyway I'm sure you are wondering why you were brought here." The angel called Leo nodded. "Our father has told us to send you to earth as a guardian angel." Leo's eyes widened. 

"What? No there must be a mistake I am in the silver guard, I cant be a guardian! Only minor angels are guardians." Leo exclaimed, then a hand patted his shoulder in comfort.

"It is ok father made a wise choice, you should embrace this opportunity to learn." A man with cheerful eyes said while Leo's mouth hanged open. "Brother?" Was all he managed to say. "Yes it is I." He nodded.

"Leo this is very important mission do you understand?" He asked grabbing Leo by his shoulders, Leo nodded. "Good, dear siblings prepare Leo for departure." Leo then was ripped from his grasp and sat on a chair. 

"You must be a pillow to her when she is sad, or happy, or in need of comfort." The archangel Raphael blessed him and Leo felt a jolt of sudden security but only lasted a tick, after that the archangel Michael stepped forward. 

"I give u the blessing of strength and loyalty to protect her at all costs." The Archangel blessed him and with his hands lay a small blade. Michael stepped back and another angel took his place.

"I give you the blessing of being flexible and patient for she is human and will make mistakes." Archangel Gabriel spoke softly and Leo felt lightheaded but it did not last, Gabriel smiled and stepped back.

"I bless you to be very loving for she will now be your reason of existence." The archangel Chamuel said with a hint of mischievousness in his gaze, then Raguel stepped forward.

"I give you the blessing of fair judgment," Raguel said ruffling his white feathers, Leo felt sharp and alert but it soon faded. Then all 7 archangels circled around him and began chanting.

"We send you now to Earth, do your duty and protect her well." They all chanted and pink cherry blossoms began fluttering around Leo, and with a flash of light, he disappeared. Gabriel looked through the only window in the room and caught a glimpse of the shooting star then turned to Chamuel.

"Was that necessary?" He asked a bit aggregated. 

"I did not do anything but give him my apro- blessings," Chamuel said nonchalantly.

"We were all there when Hastiel did her prediction, it will happen eventually," Uriel commented looking at Gabriel.

"But it has never happened before! How will it work?" Gabriel exclaimed. 

"A mountain can eventually break and turn into a pebble." Hastiel mutters but loud enough to hear, confusing everyone but Michael.

"What Hastiel means is that things are changing, and what we were used to before wont stay that way any longer." Michael said huskily and  everyone fell silent and glanced at the fading tail of the shooting star.
