Hugo never asked to see into the Firmament - the place where angels walk, shadows whisper, and the timelines of history twist and converge. But when he's drawn across the veil, he's given a single mission: stop a man before he becomes one of the most feared figures in history. The task takes him from a quiet childhood to the chaos of war, where every choice carries consequences far beyond the battlefield. Guided by a messenger he doesn't fully trust, and haunted by visions he can't explain, Hugo must decide how far he's willing to go to change what will be. Because mercy has a cost. And in the Firmament, nothing - not even time - comes without a price. Author's Note: This story is set in the 1960s. During that time, Black Americans were often referred to as "colored," and their neighborhoods "colored town." These terms are used here only to reflect the language of that era, never in a disrespectful way.

She was not born an angel. She was made into one. The church called it salvation, though she and the others knew better. They were experiments-children forced to carry the blood of something greater, something divine or perhaps monstrous. The priests never revealed whose blood it was, only that it belonged to a "god." She never saw that god, never even knew its name. But she felt it in her veins every day-burning, reshaping, devouring what was once human inside her. From the ritual came her wings: vast and terrible, twelve feet of shadowed feathers stretching behind her, with smaller, flame-lined wings sprouting at her feet. With them, she flew faster than arrows and struck harder than any sword. Fire itself bent to her will, rising and falling with her breath, a weapon she alone commanded. For years she fought in the war of men. Cities burned, armies fell, and still the blood in her veins demanded more. But no power, not even hers, could shield her from loss. Three of her companions-those who had shared the same cursed experiment-were gone, their bodies left behind on the battlefield. She buried them in ash and flame, and with that, she could fight no longer. She turned her back on the church, on the endless slaughter, and wandered into lands untouched by war. For a brief moment, she believed she could escape the cycle. Yet fate was not so kind. The world around her shifted-time, space, reality itself bending. In an instant, the smoke and ruins of men's wars were gone, replaced by a land of jagged mountains, black forests, and skies haunted by creatures she had never seen. Here, the battles were not waged between kings and soldiers, but against things far more primal. Monsters. And though she had left the battlefield behind, destiny had not left her.
