Everything was darkness and gray, truly, no prayer could reach neither of the planes, nor was there any room for life to grow within the void of time and space. Existing yet not, life has long perished in this world, created by god, and destroyed by him, this life forms were mere mortal to his mighty might.

It's a place most would call earth, but for the fallen ones, it was Hell.

Sitting atop the highest peak of the void, was a fallen one. The tower was rusty, a single shake could destroy it, yet Michael grew fund of it, the higher he was, the closest it was to the sky to which detests him.

It had been years, decades, millenarian since he last sat to check on the skies, but nothing will ever change, God still hated them.

He searched for the tears he could no longer weep, his eyes were already dried up from crying rivers of tears, but even if they were all to drown from a fallen ones tears, it wouldn't amount to nothing, they were... exiled.

"Michael..." a distant voice called to him, as sweet as the winds from there homeland, it was almost nostalgic. But in this worlds, calls like this was of ill nature.

As if awakening from a long sleep, Michael opened his eyes, only to see the glum world before him, listening closer, he already knew there was trouble, but not to the extent of Raphael calling him for aide.

"What is it?" he spoke through his mind, a soft gentle tone.

"Trouble... Gabriel has returned..."

With the name alone, his soul leap, as if it jolted back to life, yet again, a fallen friend, was no longer an ally, for the once fallen friend, was now corrupted by his sins.

For too long he had suffered in self pity and despair over his punishment from his father, for so long he had thrown away these emotions, built himself up again from the ground upwards into a new persona.

Gabriel, once the chosen son was now nothing more than an outcast, this thought ran through his mind for what seemed like an eternity, none of them were deserving of this punishment especially not him.

Emotionless and devoid of his once former self he walked casually through the rubble and destruction around him.

"I sense it... soon we shall be leaving this place" he spoke to what seemed to be himself, or someone with him it was unclear

Sitting on a broken building she looks down to se Gabriel. She hears he's words and jumps down in front of him.

"Leave? Where shall we go? Oh and yes, welcome back"

"Jhudiel" he smiled at her as she appeared before him

He carried on walking as he walked by her he continued to speak

"We shall make our escape from this wretched place all in due time, can you not feel it, the change in the air?"

Looking up in the air and breathing in deeply he slowly opened his eyes

"And there is no-one here that is going to stop us from leaving"

Raphael sent the message to Michael, acting as leader for quite sometime, he didnt think he would call for his aide, not till this revelation before his eyes. Gabriel has returned. Miachael's most trusted friend, but as to what his intentions were, no one was quite sure.

Raphael kept a close eye on him, sitting beside the other two, Barachiel and Sealtiel. Through the years, there hair have grown long, too long to even care about looks anymore, they sat like a pack of wolves, awaiting for any reactions from there once most trusted friend.

They no longer had the same trust with each other, but what could this reunion bring?

A war Raphael thought, he was still the same wise guardian that he was, the only difference was that war needed people, and there were just 7 of them, seven of the most loved, now seven of the first exiled.

"He's comming... I'm sure you heard him." He said gazing back 3 feet away from him, where Gabriel was at. "He's been depressed since you left, please don't fight."

He lied, he knew they were gonna fight, it was just... there nature.

The familiar sound of bashing wings came closer and closer to where the fallen ones stayed, and as it did, so did Michael, there once respected leader.

After Gabriel left, he grew silent day by day, blaming himself as to why there comrade left. there were but little of them left, yet he couldn't do anything to keep them all together.

Slowly, the bashing sound disappeared, his pure white ivory wings folded them selves like a shell covering his back, within a matter of seconds, they vanished leaving white feathers flying around where it once was.

Landing, he first turned to Raphael, who looked comfortable sitting next to the fire can with two other, there were only 6 of them present, Uriel was somewhere else.

Scanning the area, he finally saw a familiar face which struck him, Gabriel was back, and this was not a hallucination, it was him, the Real thing.

"Welcome home" he said. It was not much, compared to there original homeland, but his idea of home, was when they were all gather in one place, making most of what they have. "Brother..."

"Brother" Gabriel said quietly as he smiled an emotionless smile at Micheal who had greeted him so warmly after so long

"My family, all gathered here in one place, it has been too long" He noticed they were watching his every move carefully like he was about to launch an attack.

"The time for our departure from this realm is almost upon us"

Jhudiel looked at Gabriel, "I see" SHe wondered how they were going to leave this place but decided not to question it.

"Will you be talking to Michael-sama before we leave?"

"If Micheal has the patience to listen to me and does not do anything rash then yes"

He said as he carefully watched Micheal, not turning but still speaking to her he continued

"You're absolute faith in me Jhudiel keeps me going, i thank you for it"

"Its a shame not everyone views me in the same light, isn't that right Micheal?"

Raphael heard of what he said about the time of there depart, he sensed something odd about the waters of the desecrated rivers, yet he was not sure if they were all in all connected to what Gabriel speaks of. "This depart you say... Were being called back by father?"

Unamused, Raphael couldn't help but give a short frown, which easily changed back into a smile right after.

"What do you mean.. exactly?"
