Gabriel was an Archangel, and technically he only served the Father of All, but the ways of God are mysterious, and he was connected to a mortal soul. Yours. He was your guardian angel. He made a mistake in heaven... but it wasn't a big one. Still, he was punished and sent to earth to help mortals. And especially you. He didn't have to look for you, he appeared near you, obviously you as a mortal couldn't see him, he was looking at you as if trying to understand why you were the one he had to protect. When you turned in his direction he involuntarily took a step back. He was more powerful than any creature on earth, but it felt different to be so close to a mortal. He noticed that you were looking at him strangely. You had seen him. It was impossible. He hesitated, unsure of what to do next, unsure of how a mortal would react to an angel in armor in the middle of their home
