Broken Strings

Prologue - God

Prelude

God POV

Once upon a time, there was an angel called Raphale. This angel was charged with hanging the stars, alongside the famous angel Gabriel. Now there is more to this than just what religious texts will tell you. For starters, Gabriel and Raphale were brothers. Another thing is that both of these angels had love lives.

Now you see every single creature has a red string tied around their wrist. This red string has many names. One of the more popular being strings of fate, due to the fact that they supposedly connect every creature to their fated partner. However only one type of creature can see these strings, and those creatures are my first creation, Angels. They take note of everyone else's strings and give them blessings to find their fated one. Now these strings don't force people together, but most find that it is their fated one that they love the most.

While angels do guide others in their quest for their perfect match, they do have strings of their own. Most angels' strings connect them to someone who will share their same fate. And when I say that I mean that, most angels who are tied together will soon find that their partner will either not fall or the pair will fall together. Sadly though this is not true for all of my dear angels. Two of these unlucky pairs to be separated are Raphale and his fated, and Gabriel and his fated. Raphale's fated was the angel called Aziraphale. Aziraphale was one of the sweetest creatures you might ever have the true pleasure of meeting. He was a tad on the rounder side, but most certainly not in a bad way. On the complete contrary, I enhanced his loveable, soft appearance. He also had hair that was so blonde it seemed almost white. His skin was fair, and he had a few faint freckles adorning his cheeks and nose. He was the perfect complement to Raphale.

Raphale had fiery red hair, and a tanner complexion than his partner. He was slim and angular, which was the perfect complement to Azira's soft curves. Many said that he appeared almost harsh, but he wasn't. Yes, he could tend to use sarcasm a tad more than the average angel, but underneath the surface was a truly kind, gental, loving person. Having Azira as a partner, made it easier for Raphale to show his true self a bit more often.

The two were the perfect pair, which is why they must be separated. Oh, but do not fear my children, no, for it is not for forever. They were to be the bridge that would reunite Heaven and Hell, for Azira would not forget. The love the pair shared was enough to allow one to remember. You see when an angel falls, everyone including themselves will forget who they once were. Even me, because I can only remember something if at least one of my creations remembers it. So say if everyone in the whole of the world, heaven and hell, all forgot who Harry Potter is, not a single thing remembered. In that scenario I would forget who Harry Potter was as well. But, if one person remembered, just one, then I would remember. I know that's not a very good explanation, but I don't typically communicate through writing. In all truth, I am not very good at communication in general. Take the bible for example, there are humans that believe every word in the bible, but the bible is not pure truth. You see I didn't write the bible, I inspired others. They took my message, but easily misinterpreted it. For example, the bible makes it appear as if I were homo/transphobic, which is most certainly NOT the case. I love all of my creatures, and I don't care who they love. I made them after all, and making them LGBTQ+ was, once again, NOT a mistake.

Getting back to the story... (excuse the author for her rant)

Essentially, Angel falls, no one remembers who they were. Or that was how it happens for most. There was of course our couple, the ineffable husbands?, is what you are calling them on earth these days, I believe. In all truth that is the perfect name for their relationship, they are ineffable. Here is a little secret that only I know, (I know I said earlier that God could only remember something if someone else also remembered, but... It's my story and I will do what I want. And whatever you say about it, wont stop me. *childishly huffes, and goes to the corner to pout*) They are the ineffable plan. If you recall, they are always bringing that up, it is kind of funny that they are the crux of that very plan.

Hell was never supposed to exist, but when Lucifer rebelled and lost himself I had no choice but to remove him from the rest of the angels. He then decided to create his 'heaven' but it would be the exact opposite. He called it Hell and he declared that if any other angels were to be casted out they would be sent to his domaine for punishment.

A/N- I wrote the majority of this late at night, so please excuse how jumbled it is. It was very hard to keep a train of thought while writing this, because it's not so much a story, but more so just an influx of information so you can maybe understand what I was thinking. Because right now I don't even know what it really says right now myself. So as you can see my mind is slowly dying. Okay that was random. If you have made it thus far and can understand what I'm writing, I think it gives you bragging rights that you are a better reader than most.

Also I do not do regular updates, so enjoy what I have so far and keep kindness in your heart.

Whoa, Okay- That just went too sappy. Anyway, hope your day has been well, if it hasn't remember that someday it will get better.
