Over the centuries, almost ten thousand angels left Heaven–voluntarily or otherwise–and took up residence in the mortal plane. Most chose Earth, others chose lesser known worlds. They sacrificed–or were stripped of–their grace and immortality for various reasons. Some sought to educate sentient life as to how to live by Amen’s creed. Others sought redemption, escape…or conquest. However, [...]

Uriel, Azrael, and Sira led the small army silently down through Asgard’s crimson sky towards Odin’s castle.

“Cutler…” Michael began, still in shock at finding the Seraphim leader alive, “What’re you doing here?” “Michael.” Cutler’s shoulders sagged, the purple energy that now encompassed him faded a little; he was disappointed.
