Chapter Text
"Lehabiel! Where are you?" Arel called, costing to a stop with his pure white wings and landing gently onto the ground.
The child giggled, flapping his smaller, more golden wings slightly, and danced gracefully out of his Mentor's reach.
Arel tisked in annoyance and sent the boy a look, causing him to stop playing and walk quietly over to his Mentor.
Lehabiel was still a child, but he was too energetic and mischievous for his own good. He would end up in trouble one of these days.
"Could we go look at them?" He asked, peering up at the taller figure.
He was also very interested in the creatures that occupied the universe below them, and wanted to help them in every way he could. That was not necessarily a good thing.
Arel looked down at the child, face usually stoic, now graced by a barely there smile, and nodded.
The child's face lit up, and he raced over to where the Angels of Heaven could could observe the universe, everything. He looked down at the different creatures, wanting to help in every way he could. Since he had learnt that he could help, he had been doing everything in his still limited power to do just that.
The smaller tasks which require only slight nudges.
Someone hoping to pass a test, he only had to make them believe they could.
Someone praying to get home safely, he would walk with them on their way.
Someone wishing to make a friend, he would hold their hands.
Someone needing good luck, he would watch after them.
Someone hoping that an important project works out, he would encourage them to check it again.
Influencing these creatures was easy for him, and he wanted to help.
Arel looked at the child and could not remove the hint of doubt in his mind. The fear that the boy's care and love for the creatures God had made would lead to his downfall, like it had for so many others.
