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.

[ the general is dead, long live the collector of useless crap. that's azazel's story and he's sticking to it right up until the point a sword becomes necessary again. ]

TO: [ uriel ]

as i've ever been, brother.
so desperate you'll accept the help of your former brothers? my, my.
things really ARE rotten in the state of denmark.

[If only texting could convey how earnest he is. Still, his brother knew him well, once.]

TO: [ azazel ]

a confession that says little of you. open your eyes.
there is little choice in these matters and literary appreciation and pithy talk does nothing about them!

[ azazel can read the earnest force in the text; uriel is just that righteous. or perhaps azazel just thinks more about the past than he'd admit. either way, that earnest, well-remembered face is more than enough reason to turn the douchebag up to eleven. (bitter may have been the perfect word.) ]

TO: [ uriel ]

oh, they're wide open. near lidless, in fact.
correction: they do nothing for you.

[Azazel's apathy and complacency is infuriating. Particularly when energy must be conserved. He doesn't want to spend the strength to control such emotions toward a fallen.]

TO: [ azazel ]

this isn't about myself. it's all of us.
if it bared no threat against you, i would think what has been done to your liking.

i've skipped the last few family reunions on either side of your lovely gated community, uriel
ask anyone, 'us' isn't a concept i agree with anymore.
once burned, twice shy. you understand.

yes, this is a riot.
i'm sliding down the damned banister as we speak, that's how much FUN i'm having right now.

fine. you and i and every angel, fallen or not, demon, greek, roman...
this isn't about being burned once. this is about being burned completely.
i pity your minders.

i could honestly only be induced to care less about the rest of you
via monetary compensation
so try a different track, brother.

i'll be sure to tell them you said so.

TO: [ azazel ]

it would be prudent of you to care at all, at least for your sake.
not that you were ever one for prudence.
