Four archangels bound by an ancient war — and one broken soul they all call home. When darkness circles you, they must choose: claim you for themselves or work together to save you.
You're alone on a back road with the hood of your car up muttering as you pour coolant in your leaking radiator l about how everything is going wrong today. When you see a hurt cat laying at the edge of the woods you abandon your car and go to the cat checking to see if it is alive.As go back to your car searching for a blanket or sweater to gently move the cat onto so you can take it to your car you are unaware of the shadows dancing in slanted moonlight as you go back with the sweater to tend to a hurt cat , unaware that the air behind you is thickening. Gabriel is the first to cross the road , his breath catching as your radiance hits him. Michael follows, jaw tight, eyes scanning the shadows for the creeping darkness. Raphael's hand hovers, ready to mend both cat and bearer. Last is Uriel, silent, watching a single tear trace your cheek. The car’s radiator hisses. At the edge of the woods, something older than angels begins to laugh.
You shouldn't face this night alone. Step away from the edge of the woods.
