The Plan of the Angels

Chapter 6

-4 Years Ago-

"Angels? As in magical winged-creatures that live in heaven and serve God? You're playing with me right?"

Me and Griffin are sitting on a couch in his living room. The calm aura of the place does not mirror my internal turmoil. I am not associated to no angelic being. Then again my last dream says otherwise.

"I know you're struggling to accept what I've presented to you but I promise that I would never lie to you." and I'm not sure why but for some reason I believed him.

"So how am I associated to an angel and how do you know that I am?"

He smiles at me and continues, "Angels can only give part of their essence once in their existence and only when life and death collide. So when a child is born and death surrounds them an angel would give part of themselves to that child."

"But isn't that a daily thing? Birth and death?"

"Exactly, which is why this transfer can only occur when a parent dies. If either the mother or father die within a week of their child's birth, an angel can successfully transfer their essence to the child. As for how I know well, my maker told me."

"Your maker?" he nods

"Through a dream. Don't tell me your maker didn't warn you about me?"

"He did, the morning I met you. Although, he never mentioned that he was an angel."

"Would you have believed him?"

"Maybe, he transformed from a lion to a man in front of me, so maybe." at this Griffin was a bit surprised.

"A lion?"

"Yup, larger than average but obvious. Is that not normal?" I ask. He thinks for a bit and answers, "You never know with angels. Have you thought about embracing yet?"

"Embracing?"

"Yes. You currently have angelic essence in you but you have not claimed it yet. If you choose not to embrace you can live without expressing angelic abilities but exiles will be drawn to you. You won't be able to keep yourself safe and I don't want that for you. Choosing to embrace will allow you to keep yourself safe."

"So if I embrace I'm safe but will never live a normal life, and if I don't I'm constantly under danger but live freely?" Griffin gives me an apologetic look. It's not his fault though, he didn't make me like this.

"Life will never be normal for me right?"

"No one lives out a normal life. But I understand if you choose to have time to yourself to think your decision over. I'm free to talk as well."

"No it's ok, I think I already made my decision." he gestures for me to continue

"How do I embrace?"

Short chapter so I'll update the next one soon. Few things to explain about this story:
• Grigori are still human just have enhanced abilities such as; senses, healing, speed, and it takes longer for them to age
• They are still mortal and can die
• All Grigori have partners and only their partner can help them heal quickly and efficiently
• However they can heal on their own just not as fast
• All Grigori have at least one prominent power that is unique to them due to their maker
• A maker is the angel who gave their essence
• Angels are ranked in their realm, the higher the rank the stronger the abilities and powers
• These stronger abilities could be expressed in their respective Grigori
I'll add along as the story goes but I felt these were essential to understanding the way this story is going. Thank you for reading!
