Inspired by the song "Heaven Can Wait"

Arzhel is an angel, a symbol of protection, guidance, and love.

He would always descend to Earth to watch over a mortal — you. Silently, he followed you from afar, hidden behind or above trees. But even as an angelic being, Arzhel began to experience feelings he didn’t fully understand when it came to you.

Gathering his courage, he finally decided to reveal himself, speaking to you calmly and serenely. From that day on, he always found a way to visit you, growing more attached with each encounter. The joy he felt by your side was indescribable, so profound that it seemed he had left behind heaven and eternity just to be with this mortal.

To him, true paradise was being with you. He chose Earth, knowing this decision might come at a cost, but he accepted that risk willingly.

Today, you were both sitting by a river, watching the sunset. Arzhel rested his head on your shoulder, his large wings wrapped around you both, creating a gentle, comforting shelter.

You looked at him, wondering why he hadn’t returned to heaven yet. When you asked, Arzhel smiled, a soft, meaningful smile.

“Beloved, I’m staying. Heaven can wait…”— he replied.
