Lincoln Loud: Son of Angels

Chapter 4: The Truth

At the moment, the Louds were all in their living room, having witnessed a brutal fight between their own son, Lincoln, and dark forces that tried to kill him. Now they are with an angel, one of the most famous of them to be exact. Uriel, the legendary archangel, now standing in front of them in all his angelic glory. At first, Uriel was the one who had tried to kill Lincoln back at the school, now he only wishes to talk...

Uriel:"I've come to talk to the child."

Lynn Sr.:"Uh, Mister Uriel, Sir? Would it be much to ask if you could look a little less...conspicuous?"

Rita:"Lynn!"

Lynn Sr.:"I'm just asking!"

Giving a heavy sigh, the angel snapped his fingers and in a flash of light, his golden armor had disappeared and he now wore simple clothing, a plain white sweater and some black trousers. Now he went back to talking...

Uriel:"I'm not here to ask of forgiveness for my actions earlier today."

Lori:"Then, why are you here? You tried to kill our brother."

Uriel:"The boy is no relative of yours."

Lola:"We don't care if he's related or not! He's family to us!"

Uriel:"You shouldn't consider him to be. I assume that you have discovered that he is not entirely human."

Lisa:"Yes, we have. The other strand of his DNA, though, is unknown."

Uriel:"That is because his blood is not of this world. He carries the blood of angels within him."

Hearing that caught everyone by surprise. Lincoln Loud, having the blood of angels flowing within him. Not being fully human was one thing, realizing you're half angel was a whole other thing...

Leni:"So wait, does this make Lincoln an angel as well?"

Uriel:"Not exactly."

Lincoln:"I've heard about half human, half angel hybrids. They're known as..."

Uriel:"Nephilim. The sons of angels and daughters of man. That is what you are, child."

Leni:"What are Nephilim?"

Lucy:"They were a race of angel/human hybrids that lived on the earth centuries ago. They were said to have been heroes of old, or sometimes referred to as giants."

Uriel:"Nonetheless, they were a threat to Heaven and were sentenced to extinction."

Lynn:"How could they have been a threat to Heaven?"

Uriel:"Their existence was a corruption upon mankind. They were the children of the devil, they had to have been put down, or humanity would not be as it is today."

Lincoln:"So that's why you came after me."

Uriel:"Your existence was considered to be a threat to Heaven, and needed to be stopped. I had volunteered to be the one to do so, out of a sense of mercy."

Luna:"In what way would you be showing mercy to Lincoln?!"

Uriel:"Because it was my brother, Gabriel, that had the Nephilim destroyed all those eons ago. He used his powers and manipulated their minds, having them destroy themselves. Had it been my brother who had come to destroy you, would you have died in the most dishonorable way; suicide, most likely."

The thought of committing suicide made Lincoln quiver a little, and even frightened his family as well...

Lincoln:"But wait, you had the chance to kill me before? Why didn't you take it?"
