Chapter 17: 《 The Pawn on the Stage 》

《 The Pawn on the Stage 》

At last, the Arch Angel who has begun his march into ascendancy now illustrates his gift with unmistakable prowess. I am able to hear his whisper, the unique sound that his soul sings into the Weave. The essence that Arch exudes is unique and powerful, where every Arch Angel harbros their own spirit-whisper. It is the identifying factor that makes us who we are in the sea of time.

Though I may not know what ventures he has and will untake, I may listen to his song, and listen I will. I will stand as a theatergoer to the orchestra that is his life. His whispers are haunting beautiful, and I will continue to listen.

There are many questions our Arch Angel holds which stifle his ability to evolve. His absence of understanding to his own gift is a detriment to his true potential. Just as many Arch Angels, the culturing and understanding of their power is difficult to manage and expand. There are few who gain the required knowledge to use their Arch at its fullest, while many only learn the bare minimum to harness it, which is the case with our current performer.

An angel's knowledge to use and comprehend Arch comes from their forefathers, who accouter their foundations with perpetual failure. Families of angels trying and failing in numerous ways for countless generations with their anomalous gift is what builds the pillars of stability and strength for their kin, where the contemporary children of Arch could be taught the techniques of their ancestors and become fluent in their skill.

As stated before, our own Arch Angel we see today encompasses just enough understanding of his abilities to bring them forth and demonstrate their potentiality, and this is no fault of his own. In a tragic tale that never fails to accomplish its story, the Sky family never sees a father past the age of forty mortal years. Since the dawn of their lineage, I have seen it happen again and again - the patrilineal blood falls prematurely to the clutches of an untimely death, leaving their children incomplete and ignorant. The mothers of this same lineage have never been Arch Angels, it is always the fathers who bare this burden. That is why I find our very own Viola such a captivating addition to the stage, she is the very first female Arch Angel in the Sky family lineage, always birthed alongside her brother. Perhaps that holds some significance, but that is only an assumption with nothing to bolster the claim.

You may be asking yourself how I know all of this about him, even if he and I have never met before. I will only say that I have... 'helped myself' to some of his memories. For a good cause.

Nevertheless, we see that our Arch Angel follows the same dismal path as his antecedents. His father was killed before he was an adult and his older brother followed soon after. Left with little to harbor from his family, much of what he gathered is his own. Never to discredit anyone who deserves their due, his father did the best he could to relay teachings at any given time. With the few words of advice and instruction to lead our Arch Angel, it was enough to set him onto a path of righteousness and self-promotion, and this is what intrigues me the most. Few angels are able to achieve what he can with such little guidance. Had I left him to his own devices, what little he knows would surely be enough to conquer anything that might have confronted him in his home-world.

His strength and understanding would indeed increase. The perfect specimen to tackle what is to come.

Countless Arch Angels exist in a multitude of universes, with many parallel versions of themselves that travel through splitting roads, yet none of them have quite seized my affection like our current angel has. It is... unfortunate for him. Worry not, for you too shall understand soon.

It is truly a shame that balance calls for such an abrupt shift in weight. He was never at fault intentionally, but intentions are worthless in practice.

And now, I will prepare myself. I will arrange our meeting by extending an invitation into my most sanctioned place. A place sacred to any Arch Angel. My own Rift.

I pray that he and I shall meet very soon.
