"Raphael is said to be the angel of healing. His name quite literally translates from Hebrew into English as "God Heals" and other such meanings. But, as he stepped into the alleyway on the corner, with blood running down his rain soaked back and his dark eyes fading quickly, he didn't quite think that to be true."
