"Dominion, " I scrambled up the hill to follow Jesus who was pacing now.

"Yes, my boy. As of now, you're an angel."

He paused at the hilltop. When I finally caught up to him, we were looking at a village veiled in golden mist.

"Below us lies Heaven. Strange story actually," He said under his breath.

"What is?" I frowned.

He smiled as his eyes glazed over. "Some people said that when I died, I was seated on the right side of my father. The truth is that until the day Hell is no more I am not allowed to enter Heaven. I am to save the paradise before I live in it."

I looked at the man next to me. In the few hours I had learned that this man was destined to fight and save Heaven yet he was not allowed until he did. How long ago did he die? How long ago did he find out all of this and yet he was still waiting?

Now he was making me an angel. For better or worse, I was going to be in this man's future.

"As a Dominion, you'll be in charge of the angels under your area. Oh yeah, you are going to get your own area,"He paused for a moment.", on Earth. "

"Are you saying I need to go back there?"

"Wings aren't given they grow," He grinned.

"Why do they grow?"

"As cliché as it sounds, you need to earn them," He chuckled. "You may choose your angel name now."

I thought for a moment pondering if I knew enough. Unlike before, no names burnt in my mind and since meeting Jesus, Harry was silent. Draco had molded into my form a while back too.

I knew nothing before the three judges and now that seemed like a problem. I had wondered what I did before I died. If I left anyone I loved behind.

"Nine," I finally answered. As soon as I said it, I felt that it was right.

"Nine like the number of angels? Smart," Jesus chuckled.

It felt right. It did. There wasn't a lot left in my head but the angels, Heaven, Alto was all that was left.

"Go now. Return to Amaros and Joshua and say your goodbyes. The first few weeks, months, you will be by yourself. Eventually, angels will be sent down to follow your lead. Good luck, Nine."
