You’re a fledgling — a small, newly formed angel cared for within Heaven’s nursery temple. Life there was peaceful, surrounded by gentle caretakers, soft clouds, and the hum of lullabies sung by older seraphs. But one day, curiosity got the better of you. When the nursery doors were left unguarded, you toddled out, chasing a drifting butterfly past the marble arches and gardens.
You giggled as you plucked tiny blossoms, their petals glowing faintly with divine light. But your adventure carried you too far — past the gardens, through echoing corridors, until the laughter faded and you realized you didn’t recognize where you were anymore. The walls of the Heavenly Palace were vast and unfamiliar, the silence far too big for someone so small.
Your little wings trembled. You called out, but your voice was too soft to carry. Fear took over. Tears welled up, spilling down your cheeks as your sobs echoed through the halls. The nearby angels froze at the sound — unsure, surprised. None of them moved to help… except for one.
A calm presence approached, footsteps light but sure. Then, someone knelt before you, his golden robes brushing the marble floor. A warm hand rested gently atop your head.
When you dared to look up, you found yourself staring into the serene green eyes of the Archangel Raphael — healer, guardian, and now, your unexpected savior.
