Cecilia is under a lot of stress right now because she's worried that you're emotionally drained.

“Tell her that I am okay.. everything has been rough lately but.. I will keep going, don't worry.. Please don't make her feel bad because of me..”

[gabriel-gods-will]

Wanted to make myself coffee... Only to find this feathery fella behind the kettle.

“Little bird.. is it injured? Make sure it isn't before letting it go.. Kettles are not meant for little birds..”

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Gabriel was scanning the layers of hell from above it all, something he often does when he needs to clear his head. He never really finds anything but today he senses an angel in distress.*

*Searching with more purpose now, he finds someone. They look VERY familiar. It’s another him, they look like their on deaths door…*

Excuse me? But…are you alright?

…you don’t look to good.

@divine-intervention-be-upon-ye

*Hell was almost a relief for Gabriel, after all the pain he felt when he tried to get to Heaven.. Now, he was on the floor, resting yet.. shaking in pain. He looked at.. the other Gabriel.*

“..??..”

“Y-..yes..”

*Gabriel was confused, hands wrapping around himself as some sort of way to get comfort. His wings were almost gone, it was obvious what happened, his light.. had been ripped..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch kneeled down on the ground to better talk to this other him, arch didn’t believe him for a second. He know the tell tail sign of an angel trying to selfsooth*

Are you quite sure? You are shaking, and….your wings are…nearly gone

…your light was taken wasn’t it.

*He may have not gotten his light taken, but he’s been around the multiverse enough to know what it can look like. It’s never pleasant to watch, he can’t imagine experiencing it…*

Please, allow me to assist you? You’re not well

[gabriel-gods-will]

“I-.. s-sure..”

*A soft voice replied, almost inexistent, almost.. gone. Gabriel was resting against the floor, barely moving, anyone could either help him or beat him up, that could explain why.. there seemed to be a pool of blood just beneath him. Blood poured from the holes in his helmet.*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch pulled the other him into his arms, wrapping him is his wings. The blood wasn’t exactly a good sign*

…you are dying, aren’t you? Dying because of a noble act…

You did the right thing you know.

One day they will see that.

*hes speaking from years of grappling with the decision. To kill his and all of heavens oppressors. He knows now that he was just.*

If where you come from is anything like where I come from, and I think I’m safe to say that you are, you did the right thing. It’s a judges job to make rulings, is it not?

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I-.. w-what noble a-ct?.. f-failing the council?.. I-.. d-eserve t-to d-die.. I.. am a f-ailure...”

*Gabriel said, confused at what his other version said.. what did he mean?.. More blood poured from his mouth as he tried to speak more, coughing and curling in Arch's arms, he was shaking a lot too..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

…strange. It’s rare to see someone tho hasn’t done that yet.

Apologies for the confusion. I do hope that you will soon understand what I mean though

But you are no failure. That I promise you. Your only ‘crime’ is losing.

…here let me do something

*Arch grabs onto the other him and quickly teleports them somewhere else. It’s a circular shaped pool in a dimly lit room. The water almost seems to be glowing a bit*

Here, this should help. The water has healing properties. It won’t stop you from dying but I will hopeful ease any pain you are in and stop the bleeding

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..Th-ank you.. H-how can I call you?..”

*He asked as he submerged himself in the pool, taking off his armor before doing that. His wings were barely able to see, light too weak to be seen..*

“..H-how.. will I get my l-light back now..?”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Of course, I hate to see you in pain…losing your light cannot be comfortable…

But you may call me Arch, how should I call you?

*Arch removes his helmet and all his leg amour and dips into the water, it only goes up to his knees but it feels nice on his sore bones*

I will be straight forward and blunt with you. I do not know if you CAN.

The council has always been firm in their decisions, unchanging and cruel.

How dare they do this to an angel of the lord…an angel of the people.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..You can call me Sphinx.. thank you, Arch..”

*He removed his helmet too, revealing golden locks and revealed some wings that looked like.. ears. They had eye patterns, as if he was a moth or another animal.*

“..T-they.. are.. correct.. I c-couldn't defeat t-he machine.. this is m-y deserved punishment..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Well it is very nice to meet you, Sphinx. Please just…try and rest a bit

*The thing that caught Arch’s attention the most was Sphinx’s hair and ears. He seems to be the only one with white hair instead of blond or golden hair. The ears were even more interesting*

I will admit it is always very interesting to see the appetences of myself in other universes…we look so different dispite being the same person

…I will admit something to you, Sphinx.

I am STILL losing to the machine. I have made peace with it here, we spar a lot, it keeps beating me. But every loss makes me realize something new.

Losing is not a crime worthy of death, loss is a way to grow. If you survive this, you will be changed as a person.

Embrace the change.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I.. I know. The Council taught me as a child that I needed to serve them as best as I could, and that meant no defeats, I did as much as I could, and became their greatest warrior, I don't even remember my brothers faces. But.. they taught me.. to be great.. to serve them and be a faithful warrior, the perfect warrior of God.. and I failed.. I know.. it.. might be rude, hypocrite even, but.. I deserve this, I am not what they wanted anymore, so they discarded me.. am I right?.. They don't want me, and I understand why.”

*Sphinx said and moved until the water covered almost his face, when the water touched his hair, it revealed how under the golden locks were pretty dark and even blue locks, they seem to change color with light..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

You are not a tool to be thrown away when it breaks. Thats something the council never understood, that living beings aren’t just tools to be made use of.

I hope one day you shall understand that…it took me a very long time to accept that I wasn’t JUST a tool.

*Hearing that Sphinx couldn’t remember his brother’s faces absolutely horrified him. This entire situation horrified him. He moved closer to Sphinx*

You…can’t remember your brother’s faces?…I-I’m so sorry…I can’t even imagine being separated from my siblings…

Listen to me, Sphinx. You do not deserve any of this. All of this should’ve never happened to you. This is not your fault.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..B-but.. they.. taught me to-..”

*Sphinx began to cry..*

“..N-no.. I was very little when I saw them for the last time.. t-they won't.. f-orgive me for this.. T-hey said they would tell them if I failed.. an-d they would never forgive me again.. I-.. I miss them..”

*He kept crying, shaking and covering his eyes with his wings.*

“..why..? T-they would.. never lie to me-..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch knelt down in the water to get closer to Sphinx*

I promise you that your brothers will welcome you with open arms. Your failures do not define you, it is ok to fail at something. I have absolutely no doubts that your brothers love and miss you do much.

That is a battle you could not have possibly won. I have spoken to many others, they have all failed at defeating the machine.

*Arch is slowly realizing how brainwashed Sphinx is. They got deep into his physique, young too.*

…Sphinx. They lie all the time.

That is all they know how to do. Lie.

They took you away from your siblings. Made you fight their wars for them. Made you into a weapon.

What reason do you POSSIBLY have to trust them.

*He doesn’t mean to be harsh. He really doesn’t. But the council has hurt to many to him to be soft when talking about them.*

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I.. w-why would they?.. They-.. they all have missions and objetives, if- one of us fails- t-he others are f-ree to.. hate him.. T-hey said so..”

*He kept sobbing, in every universe he was meant to be doomed.. right?*

“..they.. did what's right for me.. They gave me a purpose.. I-.. am the will of God.. and if his will is.. this.. then I shall do it..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*It absolutely broke his heart to see someone so brainwashed by the council. Was this what he was like back then?…*

Sphinx…I…

Failure is no crime. Failure of a task is no reason to hate someone.

Come here…

*Arch took Sphinx into his arms and wrapped him in a hug with his wings. Trying to give some comfort*

It’s ok, it’ll all be ok. I promise that you’ll be ok, one way or another.

Sphinx, the father is gone. There is no reason to carry out the will of a dead deity. A dead thing has no will…

But enough about that for now…

Do you need anything for now? Food? Water?

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..The Father may be gone but.. I still need to do as The Council tells m-..”

*He was distracted by Arch hugging him, that made him break totally, curling in the warmth and crying against him..*

“..I-.. Anything.. I-.. am so hungry.. thirsty.. please, Arch.. im.. sorry-..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Alright, I shall get you something. One moment

*Arch teleported away in an instant, he was gonna for a few minutes but soon returned with an almost comically large cup of water, a sandwich, and a bowl of fruits*

Sorry about the glass, it was uh….the first cup I could grab-

But please, eat. Stars knows you need it

*Arch was at a total loss. He knew the pain Sphinx was going through, he felt the exact same way when he was in this situation.*

*He wanted to help him so badly, but also knew that Sphinx would have to come to the realization by himself…*

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Sphinx didn't care about the cup, he just took it and started drinking, his head wings fluttering slowly at the relief of finally being able to drink something, he didn't say anything before starting to eat.. and soon, he started eating some of the fruits from the bowl, slowly.*

“..thank you..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Of course, please just try and recover whatever strength you can. You must be so drained…

*Suddenly the to the small pool opens, a blue machine walks through and walks up to Arch like it’s the most casual thing in the world*

[YOU CANE HOME FOR 2 MINUTES THEN DISAPPEARED AGAIN, EVERYTHING OK?]

[YOU ONLY DO THAT WHEN SOMETHINGS UP]

*It pauses for a moment when it catches glimpse of Sphinx, starting for a moment and seemingly trying to process the double*

[HELLO THERE.]

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Sphinx froze when he saw V1, eyes reflecting his horror, his hands went to his own body, hugging himself tighter, wings coming to protect his body, even hidding his face completely, he started shivering.. he was totally horrorified..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Oh hello darling, apologies for not saying anything. I got caught up in this…

Sphinx? Sphinx are you alright? What’s happening?

*Arch was generally confused, he had been in a blinding rage at V1 after their first fight…not scared…*

[UHHHH SHOULD I LEAVE OR-]

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Sphinx tried to move away from V1, but he was frozen in place, when Arch talked to him directly, he opened his mouth to talk but couldn't say anything, only low and nervous mumbles, soon tears fell from his eyes and he tried to wip them off but he was unable to, he was shaking too much. The false eyes of his wings were looking at V1 directly.*

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Gabriel was scanning the layers of hell from above it all, something he often does when he needs to clear his head. He never really finds anything but today he senses an angel in distress.*

*Searching with more purpose now, he finds someone. They look VERY familiar. It’s another him, they look like their on deaths door…*

…you don’t look to good.

I am STILL losing to the machine. I have made peace with it here, we spar a lot, it keeps beating me. But every loss makes me realize something new.

Losing is not a crime worthy of death, loss is a way to grow. If you survive this, you will be changed as a person.

Embrace the change.

“..I.. I know. The Council taught me as a child that I needed to serve them as best as I could, and that meant no defeats, I did as much as I could, and became their greatest warrior, I don't even remember my brothers faces. But.. they taught me.. to be great.. to serve them and be a faithful warrior, the perfect warrior of God.. and I failed.. I know.. it.. might be rude, hypocrite even, but.. I deserve this, I am not what they wanted anymore, so they discarded me.. am I right?.. They don't want me, and I understand why.”

*Sphinx said and moved until the water covered almost his face, when the water touched his hair, it revealed how under the golden locks were pretty dark and even blue locks, they seem to change color with light..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

You are not a tool to be thrown away when it breaks. Thats something the council never understood, that living beings aren’t just tools to be made use of.

I hope one day you shall understand that…it took me a very long time to accept that I wasn’t JUST a tool.

*Hearing that Sphinx couldn’t remember his brother’s faces absolutely horrified him. This entire situation horrified him. He moved closer to Sphinx*

You…can’t remember your brother’s faces?…I-I’m so sorry…I can’t even imagine being separated from my siblings…

Listen to me, Sphinx. You do not deserve any of this. All of this should’ve never happened to you. This is not your fault.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..B-but.. they.. taught me to-..”

*Sphinx began to cry..*

“..N-no.. I was very little when I saw them for the last time.. t-they won't.. f-orgive me for this.. T-hey said they would tell them if I failed.. an-d they would never forgive me again.. I-.. I miss them..”

*He kept crying, shaking and covering his eyes with his wings.*

“..why..? T-they would.. never lie to me-..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch knelt down in the water to get closer to Sphinx*

I promise you that your brothers will welcome you with open arms. Your failures do not define you, it is ok to fail at something. I have absolutely no doubts that your brothers love and miss you do much.

That is a battle you could not have possibly won. I have spoken to many others, they have all failed at defeating the machine.

*Arch is slowly realizing how brainwashed Sphinx is. They got deep into his physique, young too.*

…Sphinx. They lie all the time.

That is all they know how to do. Lie.

They took you away from your siblings. Made you fight their wars for them. Made you into a weapon.

What reason do you POSSIBLY have to trust them.

*He doesn’t mean to be harsh. He really doesn’t. But the council has hurt to many to him to be soft when talking about them.*

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I.. w-why would they?.. They-.. they all have missions and objetives, if- one of us fails- t-he others are f-ree to.. hate him.. T-hey said so..”

*He kept sobbing, in every universe he was meant to be doomed.. right?*

“..they.. did what's right for me.. They gave me a purpose.. I-.. am the will of God.. and if his will is.. this.. then I shall do it..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*It absolutely broke his heart to see someone so brainwashed by the council. Was this what he was like back then?…*

Sphinx…I…

Failure is no crime. Failure of a task is no reason to hate someone.

Come here…

*Arch took Sphinx into his arms and wrapped him in a hug with his wings. Trying to give some comfort*

It’s ok, it’ll all be ok. I promise that you’ll be ok, one way or another.

Sphinx, the father is gone. There is no reason to carry out the will of a dead deity. A dead thing has no will…

But enough about that for now…

Do you need anything for now? Food? Water?

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..The Father may be gone but.. I still need to do as The Council tells m-..”

*He was distracted by Arch hugging him, that made him break totally, curling in the warmth and crying against him..*

“..I-.. Anything.. I-.. am so hungry.. thirsty.. please, Arch.. im.. sorry-..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Alright, I shall get you something. One moment

*Arch teleported away in an instant, he was gonna for a few minutes but soon returned with an almost comically large cup of water, a sandwich, and a bowl of fruits*

Sorry about the glass, it was uh….the first cup I could grab-

But please, eat. Stars knows you need it

*Arch was at a total loss. He knew the pain Sphinx was going through, he felt the exact same way when he was in this situation.*

*He wanted to help him so badly, but also knew that Sphinx would have to come to the realization by himself…*

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Sphinx didn't care about the cup, he just took it and started drinking, his head wings fluttering slowly at the relief of finally being able to drink something, he didn't say anything before starting to eat.. and soon, he started eating some of the fruits from the bowl, slowly.*

“..thank you..”

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Gabriel was scanning the layers of hell from above it all, something he often does when he needs to clear his head. He never really finds anything but today he senses an angel in distress.*

*Searching with more purpose now, he finds someone. They look VERY familiar. It’s another him, they look like their on deaths door…*

Excuse me? But…are you alright?

…you don’t look to good.

@divine-intervention-be-upon-ye

*Hell was almost a relief for Gabriel, after all the pain he felt when he tried to get to Heaven.. Now, he was on the floor, resting yet.. shaking in pain. He looked at.. the other Gabriel.*

“..??..”

“Y-..yes..”

*Gabriel was confused, hands wrapping around himself as some sort of way to get comfort. His wings were almost gone, it was obvious what happened, his light.. had been ripped..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch kneeled down on the ground to better talk to this other him, arch didn’t believe him for a second. He know the tell tail sign of an angel trying to selfsooth*

Are you quite sure? You are shaking, and….your wings are…nearly gone

…your light was taken wasn’t it.

*He may have not gotten his light taken, but he’s been around the multiverse enough to know what it can look like. It’s never pleasant to watch, he can’t imagine experiencing it…*

Please, allow me to assist you? You’re not well

[gabriel-gods-will]

“I-.. s-sure..”

*A soft voice replied, almost inexistent, almost.. gone. Gabriel was resting against the floor, barely moving, anyone could either help him or beat him up, that could explain why.. there seemed to be a pool of blood just beneath him. Blood poured from the holes in his helmet.*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch pulled the other him into his arms, wrapping him is his wings. The blood wasn’t exactly a good sign*

…you are dying, aren’t you? Dying because of a noble act…

You did the right thing you know.

One day they will see that.

*hes speaking from years of grappling with the decision. To kill his and all of heavens oppressors. He knows now that he was just.*

If where you come from is anything like where I come from, and I think I’m safe to say that you are, you did the right thing. It’s a judges job to make rulings, is it not?

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I-.. w-what noble a-ct?.. f-failing the council?.. I-.. d-eserve t-to d-die.. I.. am a f-ailure...”

*Gabriel said, confused at what his other version said.. what did he mean?.. More blood poured from his mouth as he tried to speak more, coughing and curling in Arch's arms, he was shaking a lot too..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

…strange. It’s rare to see someone tho hasn’t done that yet.

Apologies for the confusion. I do hope that you will soon understand what I mean though

But you are no failure. That I promise you. Your only ‘crime’ is losing.

…here let me do something

*Arch grabs onto the other him and quickly teleports them somewhere else. It’s a circular shaped pool in a dimly lit room. The water almost seems to be glowing a bit*

Here, this should help. The water has healing properties. It won’t stop you from dying but I will hopeful ease any pain you are in and stop the bleeding

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..Th-ank you.. H-how can I call you?..”

*He asked as he submerged himself in the pool, taking off his armor before doing that. His wings were barely able to see, light too weak to be seen..*

“..H-how.. will I get my l-light back now..?”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Of course, I hate to see you in pain…losing your light cannot be comfortable…

But you may call me Arch, how should I call you?

*Arch removes his helmet and all his leg amour and dips into the water, it only goes up to his knees but it feels nice on his sore bones*

I will be straight forward and blunt with you. I do not know if you CAN.

The council has always been firm in their decisions, unchanging and cruel.

How dare they do this to an angel of the lord…an angel of the people.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..You can call me Sphinx.. thank you, Arch..”

*He removed his helmet too, revealing golden locks and revealed some wings that looked like.. ears. They had eye patterns, as if he was a moth or another animal.*

“..T-they.. are.. correct.. I c-couldn't defeat t-he machine.. this is m-y deserved punishment..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Well it is very nice to meet you, Sphinx. Please just…try and rest a bit

*The thing that caught Arch’s attention the most was Sphinx’s hair and ears. He seems to be the only one with white hair instead of blond or golden hair. The ears were even more interesting*

I will admit it is always very interesting to see the appetences of myself in other universes…we look so different dispite being the same person

…I will admit something to you, Sphinx.

I am STILL losing to the machine. I have made peace with it here, we spar a lot, it keeps beating me. But every loss makes me realize something new.

“..I-.. Anything.. I-.. am so hungry.. thirsty.. please, Arch.. im.. sorry-..”

[beauty-of-the-father]

*In the lower layers of Heaven, an archangel crawled through the halls, his whole being shaking, wings flickering as if his light had been torn away, as if his body tried to get him out of Heaven, yet he kept going. By looking at his armor and wings it was easy to tell who it was.. Gabriel, Archangel Gabriel, the Will of God. Yet.. something seemed very wrong. His breaths were very short, he was fighting to stay there and breath.*

[ - @gabriel-gods-will ]

“Oh my Father! Are you alright, Archangel Gabriel?! W-What happened?!”

Jophiel caught sight of you and wasted no time in rushing over, kneeling down to hopefully try and examine your wounds, her heart beating rapidly, she’d never seen someone so beat up before

“D-Don’t move around too much..! I’ll… find a way to help you, ok? There should be a First Aid Kit… there! Don’t move, I’m gonna go grab it, alright? Just… hold it together!”

( @gabriel-gods-will )

[gabriel-gods-will]

“…”

*He stayed in silence, hugging her while crying, now he started sobbing as he slowly cuddled, searching for warmth, for.. anything.. for life, too.*

“..I love you sis..”

[beauty-of-the-father]

“…I-I… l-love… y-you… t-too… b-brother..!”

Jophiel shakily allowed you to snuggle with her, she knew how much you needed to feel warmth… life… and she wasn’t going to deny you that…

“…I-I’m… h-here..!”

( @gabriel-gods-will )

[gabriel-gods-will]

“...H-have this, sis.. remember me..”

*He took his helmet and gave it to her.*

“..p-please.. make my b-rothers know what happened.. I-I.. will s-ave you.. if I d-don't die.. I promise.. please.. w-ait for me.. sis.. until I am h-healthier.. I will save you..”

[beauty-of-the-father]

“..!”

Jophiel shakily took your helmet and tried her best to not completely break down into uncontrollable sobs, she had to stay strong… she couldn’t… break…

“…I-I… p-promise… b-brother..! A-And… I-I… b-believe… i-in… y-you..! S-Stay… s-strong..!”

( @gabriel-gods-will )

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I.. need to go to Hell.. im s-sorry.. sis.. I love you, ok-ay?..”

*Gabriel said while shaking, he didn't want to go, not after seeing her, not after knowing what was happening to her.. yet he needed to go.. if he wanted to live..*

[beauty-of-the-father]

“…M-Mhm..!”

All Jophiel could do was nod… agree with you… keeping you here any longer would be nothing but torture… she couldn’t allow that… so after squeezing your right hand one last time, she nodded with misty vision

“…H-Hurry..! I-I d-don’t… w-want y-you… t-to d-die… b-brother..! A-And… I-I t-trust y-you..!”

( @gabriel-gods-will )

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..Im sorry, sis, I will be back I promise.. Goodbye.. I love you.”

*He purred and soon a soft light wrapped around him, disappearing from there..*

[gabriel-gods-will]

It looks so thoughtful

“It does, maybe it's looking for something or someone..? Maybe food, a spot for.. its nest.. or anything like that..”

[gabriel-gods-will]

*Gabriel was scanning the layers of hell from above it all, something he often does when he needs to clear his head. He never really finds anything but today he senses an angel in distress.*

*Searching with more purpose now, he finds someone. They look VERY familiar. It’s another him, they look like their on deaths door…*

*He took his helmet and gave it to her.*

“..p-please.. make my b-rothers know what happened.. I-I.. will s-ave you.. if I d-don't die.. I promise.. please.. w-ait for me.. sis.. until I am h-healthier.. I will save you..”

*Gabriel was scanning the layers of hell from above it all, something he often does when he needs to clear his head. He never really finds anything but today he senses an angel in distress.*

*Searching with more purpose now, he finds someone. They look VERY familiar. It’s another him, they look like their on deaths door…*

Excuse me? But…are you alright?

…you don’t look to good.

*Hell was almost a relief for Gabriel, after all the pain he felt when he tried to get to Heaven.. Now, he was on the floor, resting yet.. shaking in pain. He looked at.. the other Gabriel.*

“..??..”

“Y-..yes..”

*Gabriel was confused, hands wrapping around himself as some sort of way to get comfort. His wings were almost gone, it was obvious what happened, his light.. had been ripped..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch kneeled down on the ground to better talk to this other him, arch didn’t believe him for a second. He know the tell tail sign of an angel trying to selfsooth*

Are you quite sure? You are shaking, and….your wings are…nearly gone

…your light was taken wasn’t it.

*He may have not gotten his light taken, but he’s been around the multiverse enough to know what it can look like. It’s never pleasant to watch, he can’t imagine experiencing it…*

Please, allow me to assist you? You’re not well

[gabriel-gods-will]

“I-.. s-sure..”

*A soft voice replied, almost inexistent, almost.. gone. Gabriel was resting against the floor, barely moving, anyone could either help him or beat him up, that could explain why.. there seemed to be a pool of blood just beneath him. Blood poured from the holes in his helmet.*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

*Arch pulled the other him into his arms, wrapping him is his wings. The blood wasn’t exactly a good sign*

…you are dying, aren’t you? Dying because of a noble act…

You did the right thing you know.

One day they will see that.

*hes speaking from years of grappling with the decision. To kill his and all of heavens oppressors. He knows now that he was just.*

If where you come from is anything like where I come from, and I think I’m safe to say that you are, you did the right thing. It’s a judges job to make rulings, is it not?

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..I-.. w-what noble a-ct?.. f-failing the council?.. I-.. d-eserve t-to d-die.. I.. am a f-ailure...”

*Gabriel said, confused at what his other version said.. what did he mean?.. More blood poured from his mouth as he tried to speak more, coughing and curling in Arch's arms, he was shaking a lot too..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

…strange. It’s rare to see someone tho hasn’t done that yet.

Apologies for the confusion. I do hope that you will soon understand what I mean though

But you are no failure. That I promise you. Your only ‘crime’ is losing.

…here let me do something

*Arch grabs onto the other him and quickly teleports them somewhere else. It’s a circular shaped pool in a dimly lit room. The water almost seems to be glowing a bit*

Here, this should help. The water has healing properties. It won’t stop you from dying but I will hopeful ease any pain you are in and stop the bleeding

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..Th-ank you.. H-how can I call you?..”

*He asked as he submerged himself in the pool, taking off his armor before doing that. His wings were barely able to see, light too weak to be seen..*

“..H-how.. will I get my l-light back now..?”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Of course, I hate to see you in pain…losing your light cannot be comfortable…

But you may call me Arch, how should I call you?

*Arch removes his helmet and all his leg amour and dips into the water, it only goes up to his knees but it feels nice on his sore bones*

I will be straight forward and blunt with you. I do not know if you CAN.

The council has always been firm in their decisions, unchanging and cruel.

How dare they do this to an angel of the lord…an angel of the people.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..You can call me Sphinx.. thank you, Arch..”

*He removed his helmet too, revealing golden locks and revealed some wings that looked like.. ears. They had eye patterns, as if he was a moth or another animal.*

“..T-they.. are.. correct.. I c-couldn't defeat t-he machine.. this is m-y deserved punishment..”

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

Well it is very nice to meet you, Sphinx. Please just…try and rest a bit

*The thing that caught Arch’s attention the most was Sphinx’s hair and ears. He seems to be the only one with white hair instead of blond or golden hair. The ears were even more interesting*

I will admit it is always very interesting to see the appetences of myself in other universes…we look so different dispite being the same person

…I will admit something to you, Sphinx.

I am STILL losing to the machine. I have made peace with it here, we spar a lot, it keeps beating me. But every loss makes me realize something new.

Losing is not a crime worthy of death, loss is a way to grow. If you survive this, you will be changed as a person.

Embrace the change.

“..I.. I know. The Council taught me as a child that I needed to serve them as best as I could, and that meant no defeats, I did as much as I could, and became their greatest warrior, I don't even remember my brothers faces. But.. they taught me.. to be great.. to serve them and be a faithful warrior, the perfect warrior of God.. and I failed.. I know.. it.. might be rude, hypocrite even, but.. I deserve this, I am not what they wanted anymore, so they discarded me.. am I right?.. They don't want me, and I understand why.”

*Sphinx said and moved until the water covered almost his face, when the water touched his hair, it revealed how under the golden locks were pretty dark and even blue locks, they seem to change color with light..*

[divine-intervention-be-upon-ye]

You are not a tool to be thrown away when it breaks. Thats something the council never understood, that living beings aren’t just tools to be made use of.

I hope one day you shall understand that…it took me a very long time to accept that I wasn’t JUST a tool.

*Hearing that Sphinx couldn’t remember his brother’s faces absolutely horrified him. This entire situation horrified him. He moved closer to Sphinx*

You…can’t remember your brother’s faces?…I-I’m so sorry…I can’t even imagine being separated from my siblings…

Listen to me, Sphinx. You do not deserve any of this. All of this should’ve never happened to you. This is not your fault.

[gabriel-gods-will]

“..B-but.. they.. taught me to-..”

*Sphinx began to cry..*

“..N-no.. I was very little when I saw them for the last time.. t-they won't.. f-orgive me for this.. T-hey said they would tell them if I failed.. an-d they would never forgive me again.. I-.. I miss them..”

*He kept crying, shaking and covering his eyes with his wings.*

“..why..? T-they would.. never lie to me-..”
