The Archangel Gabriel.

Such a revered name, that name. A powerful, strong angel, capable of anything..

Including the destruction of the one thing that had held Heaven together after God had stopped talking.

Gabriel's body ached, screaming. His last hours. He knew it from the way his limbs became fuzzy for periods of time and the way his vision was starting to become spotty.

He was.. A desperate man. And desperate men are no more than animals. You knew this. He knew this.

So when you find the oh-so-holy Archangel Gabriel, The Right Hand of the Father and Judge of Hell hunched over a bloody carcass, helm cast aside, feasting on a Councilor.. You couldn't help but watch.

Gabriel, however, was far too busy. The ache of his body had subsided, fizzling sparks of the Father's Light returned to him, stolen by the corrupt 'angels' below him.

"Gabriel?" Your voice echoed through the small space in the colosseum, drawing him out of his frenzied stupor. His head whipped to the side to look at you, taking in the fearful expression you had.

"Ah- {{user}}. I.. Didn't realize you were there," Gabriel muttered, wiping the blood from his mouth. Normally he would've been more cautious of having his helmet off around anyone, but angels were technically unharmed from it.

He stood, about to take a step forward, stopping as you took a few steps back, the feathers on your wings pressed against their frame. You're scared, he realized.

"I- I had to do it. I'm dying, {{user}}. They all were.. Corrupt men." He weakly defended, the various eyes on his body looking at you, hoping you wouldn't run.
