My body heaved in exhaustion. What seemed like days, was only two hours that I had spent out here with Father.
My speed and the timing of my strikes not to his liking, we sparred endlessly until now.
"That concludes your lesson on movement today!" He said with a clap of his hands. "Now, as promised. I'll tell you what you can do for me." A devilish grin seemed to come easy to him as he talked.
"Where do I begin," he cocked an eyebrow to the sky as he looked with his chin held high. "Your mother-" he paused with a sigh, "Was the most beautiful Angel to ever grace the Golden Gates."
Even I knew Moma's beauty to be of the divine. I remember moments of my youth, times she and I would choose to walk in whatever city we were in at that moment.
Humans couldn't seem to help themselves but gawk in awe at her as we walk by.
"I loved her deeply." He finished with a huff, "But so did Michael. My brother."
"Brother?!" I question. A look of surprise spread across his face as he grinned.
"I'm not shocked Maria did not tell you of your true heritage. But to keep you so sheltered to the point that you know so little, is both careless and naive. But yes, my brother. My twin, actually." He said with a laugh.
I agree in my head silently. It seems there's a lot I wasn't told about. I am not even sure how much of what I do know is the truth.
"Heaven forbid Heavenly officials to be intimate. Orders directly from The One Above All."
"God, you mean."
"There are many Gods that rule over different lands," he answered quickly, "there is only one above all."
My eyes widened at the revelation. I only knew of 'The One Above All' it seems but to know that there others boggled my brain.
"We kept our secret for as long as we could, a few other Angels even joined in support of Maria and me secretly. But Michael felt betrayed. And soon would inform all of Heaven to our affair. And since I was the most vocal-" he turned to face me, the story he told was that of a man who was stripped of love but I felt nothing from him, "I was cast out of Heaven."
"Uh-huh," I reply, my arms settling into a fold together. Still trying to wrap my head around this...lovers quarrel? "So they kicked you out and then what? How was I born if she was left in Heaven with your brother?"
"Casting me out caused a... shift, to say the least. The number of Angels in support of my cause grew, and soon I would have one night with your mother, with their help. And with Michael's tongue next to The One's ear, six others of my kin would be stripped of their rank and cast into the first fires of hell circles."
He turned facing our house now, his hands cuffing as he watched in awe, "I was upset. So I plotted a coupe to get back to Heaven."
"The rebellion." I interrupted. At least that much I could confirm to be true from all of this information being thrown at me today. Everything I thought I knew of spirits, the afterlife, and myself, all being flipped on its head.
"Exactly." He nodded, never taking his eyes off our home.
"I assume you lost."
"Indeed." He said, a smirk forming in the curve of his shadow. "But I did succeed once." A glare from around his shoulder stalking my curiosity.
