LISTENING ATTENTIVELY, he is all rapt consideration. taemin stands as though the weight of the world wishes to be held upon his shoulders —meanwhile forces both above and below seek him out. what else could he have become other than destruction ? what else could he desire if not some sort of peace —-even if it means the tainting of more than his own soul.
michael is a patient being —-he has led armies, championed the people, sat at the right hand of the maker of all things. he has existed for longer than most can even comprehend. but he is also an agent of vengeance, of justice, of war. still, when he speaks his voice is all quiet calm, carrying divine authority in every syllable.
❝ but that is not always the case, and it’s vital that you understand that — especially when innocent lives are at stake. ❞
some would counter that there is no such thing as innocence, not in something as flawed as humanity. but it is not the job of angels (or demons ) to judge such things. for his part, michael has a host of his own kind who may face his judgment. ❝ our purpose — ❞ comical as it may be to lump the two together, those who couldn’t be more at odds, he continues softly. ❝ — is to guide, protect, inspire. whatever destruction you’re intent on delivering, you’ll only serve to prove one thing. ❞ a step closer, expression impassive despite the edge that sharpens his next words. ❝ that you’re nothing but a slave to your own nature — weak, filled with incredible power and yet instead of controlling it —- ❞ there’s something like disappointment in his eyes, and michael shakes his head. ❝ —- you allow it to control you. ❞
