{On the pinnacle of a high tower, surrounded by clouds, sky, the bright sun, a figure in white, a face that shifts and changes, of indeterminate gender, but of unquestionable ferocity and fervor, like Abdiel, the faithful archangel, surrounded by blazing white wings, wreathed in light...
As suddenly as the images appears, this angelic figure begins to sing~}
Sing alleluia in duteous praise,
ye citizens of heaven, o sweetly raise
an endless al-le-lu-ia!
Ye powers who stand before the eternal Light,
let all your choirs re-echo to the height
an endless al-le-lu-ia!
Then let the holy city raise the strain
and with glad songs resounding wake again
an endless al-le-lu-ia!
Ye who have fought and joined the starry throng,
ye victors now take up the eternal song,
an endless al-le-lu-ia!
Your songs of triumph shall forever ring,
the hymns which tell the honor of your King,
an endless al-le-lu-ia!
Such song is rest and food and deep delight
to saints forgiven; let them all unite
an endless...
AL-LE-LU-IA!!!
Swear ye, O ye Watchers, ye Holy Ones, bright Seraphs, Cherubim, and Thrones, Dominions, Princedoms, Powers, Virtues, Archangels, and Angels, and all the Company of Heaven.
Swear ye to service of good and good alone. Thy role is for Rule.
Come ye, come! Let a quorum be called, and let us together join hands and, as one, united in accord, stand fast against the monsters who would rise up against the forces of Good. We shall be as one, the forces of Heaven, the forces of Good, the Victorious Army of Light.
We must prepare. We must draw up our plans. We must root out all wickedness among us. We must prove the purity of our hearts.
And by this, and with this, and in this, we shall be victorious.
O, ye Company of Heaven--
This is to be The Battle.

The ones I have been protecting are safe, but there are many others who are not. Let’s end this as soon as possible.

I hope you aren’t about to fall…?

But, he hasn’t decided to ’out’ you yet. ]
You should be careful that certain influences don’t cloud your judgment.
1/2
[ You seem a bit too eager to flaunt what you inexplicably know. BRB, putting a stop to that right the fuck now. ]
Judge not, lest ye be judged. Even were I Hell's child in disguise it would not be your place to question my loyalty. Yours is to trust that our Creator sees all and that through Him justice shall be done.

no subject
Wait…
What?
What academy…? Eagle struggles with this odd concept, this almost remembered something while still being berated. ]
My ‘place’ is to do as I see fit…
[Oh yea… this Angel business may be wearing off a little! ^^” ]
I will fight for what I believe in… and I expect you to do the same.
I only question whether or not you will be able to fight someone like that.
[Meaning of course… the lady you have fallen for. ]
no subject
But. That "someone like that" line. That has to be smacked right down - those are the sorts of words that get angels executed, especially lately. And Eagle wasn't exactly being subtle. ]
Surely you don't think that I would be so foolish as to put myself in the position to go into battle if I were unable or unwilling to fight.
[ Glares up at him meaningfully. 'You've made your point, Eagle, and it has been rebutted three times now. Please drop it, because I will make damn sure that if you push this any further you will be the one to bear the brunt of the damage.' ]
Save your concern for your wards, Eagle; it is misplaced on your elders and superiors.
[ ooc: Um, I wasn't going to say anything, but Eagle is pushing this WAY further than is wanted or necessary. The whole Clef/Presea thing is not supposed to be common knowledge for this curse and I didn't intend for it to be made so. We'll go with the thread as-is this time, but in the future please let me know beforehand if you want to give your character(s) knowledge that might be incriminating against mine - even if that knowledge isn't a secret outside of the particular curse/event in question. Thanks. ]
no subject
Anyway he made his point and is fairly convinced Clef means no harm. ]
I am sorry if I insulted you, but I had to make certain. Demons are tricky and I wouldn’t put it past them to try anything in order to win.
no subject
[ Just continues to glare and steps really, really close to you. Hi. Don't take this as intimacy - it's just so that he can whisper to you despite the height difference. ]
I am not insulted, child - I am shocked and scandalized. In any other climate and any other setting this behavior would be merely intolerable. As it is, you have just risked both of our necks, and to what end? Petty concern? Honestly? Anyone watching us just now would have thought you had some ulterior motive - I know I certainly did.
I have a brother whose job it is to question me; his name is Chang Ang. Do yourself a favor and leave him to it until you have perfected your sense of subtlety.
no subject
Any angels watching this just assume there is a weird tension between these two… that seems to have no known cause. ^,~ ]
Angels would be that vicious to one of their own?
Something like that seems out of character for us. The worst that may have happened would have expulsion.
[Eagle at least certainly wasn’t thinking of any action against you worst than that. ]
no subject
And that's cool. ]
[ Shakes his head, the tension in his manners dropping abruptly as he does. So Eagle honestly didn't know... ]
No, Castiel has been calling for heightened vigilance to traitors since the incident with Carmein. He has informed me specifically to eliminate or report to him any individuals suspected of harboring seditious intentions.
[ Sighs. He doesn't like the resulting atmosphere. No, not at all. ]
It isn't only him - I sense that we have in general become more suspicious since then.
no subject
Eagle hasn‘t met this person. ]
I seem to have missed out on that bit of information. I had no idea the atmosphere had become so unfriendly…
[He has been a bit busy after all and interacting more with humans and demons than other angels.
Eagle smiles though… as a new thought occurs. ]
Something like that… searching out traitors….
Then we can fight amongst ourselves while the demons do whatever they want.
That is a very convenient scenario for the other side.
no subject
I thought so, too.

[However! -- Before this curse he was a talented Commander of a Spaceship/invasion force and that personality trait is beginning to reassert itself. ^^ ]
We should find out how many Angels there are who are willing to fight against the evil horde and mount a counterattack. The style and nature of that attack would of course depend on our number.
no subject
We should strike first.
no subject
no subject
That is why I said ‘counterattack’.
And I fail to see our distinct advantage…
The demons are very powerful and there are a lot of them… It would be foolish to underestimate them.
no subject
Even without it, my point still stands. If we wait any longer, we may lose what we have. We still cannot rule out an attack within our own ranks, after all.
There is no need to do a headcount, child. Those who are unwilling to shine their light into the darkness are simply not angels.
LOL! Gomen Clef!!
Many battles have been lost on ‘high ground’ due to a lack of planning…
[Maybe this is why that place had been to easy to attack… a lack of foresight...
A pause again as Eagle wonders what place that thought might have been referring to. ^,~””” ]
Do we at least have some secure location where people in need of protection can be gathered? That beach house of yours maybe?
I could drop those two off there and fight the demons on my own terms.
no subject
[ Poor Eagle. Clef would just sigh and shake his head if he knew what the man was thinking right now. ]
As you wish.

It is our lot to stave off the darkness; we are the only ones who can.
We shall not lose that which defines us.

I know certain lines have been crossed, but is this a call for war?

However, I'm afraid that I know of no solution to the problem other than general caution.
no subject
Perhaps if we select a formal garrison to the purpose of rescuing and protecting those caught in between would be less discouraging and distracting to the entire army.
