The supreme being of them all turned back to pacing the room.It had nothing to do with nervousness but everything to do with making decisions.“But there comes a time when things must change.As a demon his ability to look at himself as well as like anyone else can be considered a problem.He wants Xolani yet he is fighting it.He will already be meeting up with her.”
“At this very moment?”
“Right.He’s been toying with her affections for a while now.What humans call a playboy.So, you understand the task I have assigned to you.I want you to get started right away.Report to me as usual.Of course, the good doctor’s will isn’t to be trifled with.She can decide on her own what she wants to do.No matter what Dirge will want in the end.”
“It will be done as you say, my Lord.”Michael knew it meant if in the end she didn’t want Dirge then the bond between them would be broken by the Maker.It worked both ways.Michael nodded and unfurled his large wings.It had been a while since he’d had to fly but it was like the old saying:Once you learn to fly, you never forget.He turned to leave and then just as suddenly, he turned back.
“Ask your question, Michael.”
“Does everyone turn human?”
The Lord’s visage grew brighter, almost blinding Michael.“Again, as I said, it is a choice.Any being can have many lives.Now go prepare yourself to be in the human world for a while.Don’t worry about me.Gabriel and the others will take care of me.”
As if he needed anyone to care of him.But it gave them all a purpose.“Of course, they will.It is their sworn oath to do such.And Caj and Mercy?”
“Doing wonderfully in their human lives.Harmony and light be with you.Michael.”
Once more Michael nodded.He left the room heading for his quarters to prepare for the journey.He made it to his rooms in record time.As he packed, he thought about the tasks at hand.He had to make sure he stayed bolstered.Even though this wasn’t his punishment, it could turn into one if he didn’t stay prepared and keep Dirge on the right path.He would have to observe both parties for a moment to see them in action and go from there.His tasks at hand were to observe, counsel, and report.
Once his things were packed, he headed to the dispersal room and stood on the platform.He said a little prayer and unfurled his large wings.He looked over to the technician and nodded to let her know he was ready.
“Be careful Michael,” she warned.“Also, where you’re going, there is a nice thunderstorm to hide your visitation.”
“Perfect, a little rain never hurt anybody.”No sooner were those words said, Michael was lifted into the air with wind underneath his wings.He headed towards earth and a state called California.Earth.Never a fun place for an angel as it was a place where sin was rampant.Just as the Maker had said, he was hit with all the intel he would need.
He took a deep breath as it washed over him.
Michael saw everything clearly.The who, the what, and the why of it hit him all at once.It was quite painful to be hit with such a large amount of information, but he took it in stride.The first thing he noted was the town, the darkness surrounding certain areas, but he also noted the light.Leave it to Dirge to go to such a place.Dirge was caught between once being an angel and now being a demon.Now to find the male in question.Michael knew just where to look.Wherever the female was, Dirge was sure to be.
His orders.
Observe.
Counsel.
Report.
Those were easy tasks but with a trickster like Dirge aka Dima Valdez it would be something if he kept his cool.Dirge might be a big problem and if Michael could get headaches Dirge would be the cause.Michael had been around long enough to know a demon like Dirge didn’t play by the same rules he did.If the demon wanted something he would do whatever it took to get it, even if it was a human female minding her own business and unwittingly attracting her mate, who also happened to be a demon.
