A TERRIBLE THING IS HAPPENING

reference books detailing myths and legends stolen from libraries...
wikipedia pages wiped clean from the face of the internet...
ancient stained glass windows smashed and destroyed...
historical research centers burnt to the ground...

Someone out there is trying very, very hard to erase all of the possible sources of power and belief of the ancient gods and goddesses. And it hurts. Whilst the powers of the minders are unharmed by the attacks, the gods and goddesses will be certainly feeling the toll: it's now painfully clear that even the simplest of miracles are now becoming almost impossible to perform.

deities, you had better have gifted your minders with some decent blessings! Because now you're going to rely on them more than ever. Someone is out to get you.

[ Michael's presence is so acutely reassuring; Gabriel has always allowed himself to relax a little more in his presence than anyone else's. It's only with Michael that he allows himself to truly become the person - which sounded terribly human, but maybe that was a part of it - that he truly wanted to be: less of the rigidity, less of the coldness, less of the strain of constantly keeping his shoulders back and his chin raised to face head-on everything that usually tested his faith. It's with Michael at his side that Gabriel admits that no, this was not a good situation, not for him and not for any of his brothers. He sags a little and leans imperceptibly towards the comforting solidity of Michael torso. ]

Brother.

[ There's quiet relief in that simple word; of all his brothers, Michael was who he had needed most. Gabriel takes a moment to briefly shut his eyes - to center himself, to check the feverish surge that threatened to rise and overwhelm him in another wave of migraines. Soon, he reopens them and wearily pulls his gaze upwards to meet Michael's. ]

We need to talk. I have an hour until I'm due back in court.
