*******************************************
Archangel Uriel ? (Flame of God)
First Guardian of the Garden of Four Seasons
*******************************************
Archangel Uriel's new ward was still a paradise—a garden full of trees and flowers.
He had more freedom to wander inside this enchanted garden rather than the previous one he looked after, which was just as lovely.
Still, the outskirts of the Garden of Eden was more natural compared to this place--so heavily laced with magic and protection.
Before this, Archangel Uriel was tasked to watch over the Gates of Eden, slaying trespassers with his flaming sword.
He strictly followed the rules of their Highest God that no Archangel could enter the Garden of Eden without His permission, so Archangel Uriel was stuck at the gates.
Nevertheless, Uriel was aware that their Highest God made new creatures--a new race-- that was close to His heart, settling them inside the Garden of Eden to protect them from harm.
Archangel Uriel hadn't seen the creatures inside the Garden of Eden even until he moved to this Garden of Four Seasons.
He was alright with that.
It wouldn't matter whether or not Uriel knew these new creatures' form, and neither shall it affect his life in any way.
The Garden of the Four Seasons was located at the exact centre of the Faerie Realm, hidden from those that weren't worthy and didn't possess a heart of gold.
Buzzing bees, dancing birds, and small animals darted around him, and they thrived around here in the absence of wild predators.
Archangel Uriel tiptoed through the plants as his citrine robes floated amid the green leaves and delicate blooms of golden buttercups.
White and magenta petals caught in the breeze, making him lift his eyes towards the sky.
Archangel Uriel breathed deeply and exhaled, enjoying his own piece of heaven on Earth.
He stretched his wings as they shimmered white-gold in his peripheral vision.
That fateful day, it was Archangel Uriel's turn to become a Watcher for the Tree of Four Seasons in the Realm of the Fae, replacing Archangel Michael from his post to guard the Fair Folk as well as hunting the fallen angels who disobeyed God, reigning over the land and terrorizing the innocent inhabitants in this Material Realm, inflicting mass destruction left and right.
Now, the rest of the Archangels being led by Archangels, Michael and Raphael, were on this mission to rid the existence of Nephilim in this Material Realm to maintain the peace.
This wouldn't have happened if some of the Watchers hadn't rebelled and copulated with the women.
Watchers were still angels without flesh and blood, but their strong spiritual power allowed them to materialize that it was almost as if they have acquired a physical form on Earth.
Due to the absence of real flesh, the Watchers have no reason to feel lust towards a woman's body except for their pride.
Maybe, the Fallen Watchers desired females to fall in love with them because they felt lesser than the males or... was it because of envy that Angels could never experience the pleasures of the flesh?
Was it because of harmless curiosity, or was it because of their secret inner desire disguised as obscure temptation?
This was also why the Nephilim—half-angel and half-human—belonged to a superhuman race because even if these creatures die after the Archangels hunted them one by one, their souls continue to live on, stronger than ever.
Their spirits were corrupted by evil due to the sins of the Fallen Angels who sired them, turning them into powerful demons who can inflict more damage to the rest of the living creatures.
Archangels who were illuminated by God's given grace were incapable of feeling any desire for sin. But other angels weren't blessed with this grace which made them capable of transgressing the Laws of God.
As the old saying from the human race went, 'They dug their own graves, now they have to lie in it.'
Once they broke their oath to the Lord and decided to revolt against Him, they can't turn back.
The Creator saw this as an irrevocable rejection of His reign for freely choosing evil—for choosing to fall from grace, thereby accepting their fate as Fallen Angels.
When he was called by God from his original post at the Gates of Eden, Uriel overheard cherubs and seraphs talking about Fallen Watchers getting punished by everlasting fire after the Highest God finished created their own Realm where they can't leave—where they were free to spread evil and chaos on their own until they killed each other in their goal to show off how powerful they were.
God had named the Realm 'Hell', announcing that the prison for Fallen Angels and their demon offspring was almost completed.
It wouldn't take long before they can imprison the evil which roamed the Earth.
Archangel Uriel would have preferred to go with Archangel Michael to destroy the Fallen Angels and the Nephilim to avenge their Highest God from their unforeseen betrayal. But, unfortunately, Uriel was stuck watching God's properties on Earth.
Perfectly aware that he had no right to complain, Archangel Uriel wished he could acquire a mission that would require him to use his flaming sword for real.
He was tired of carrying them around when there were only a few trespassers who would dare challenge him, boring him to death.
Uriel needed an excuse to engage in a fight where he can be as pitiless as the demons who hurt the innocent.
If he were patient enough, the Highest God would send him to the battlefield at the Final Angelic War between the Archangels and the Fallen Angels.
There were no signs of threat around this new ward of his, so Archangel Uriel would change his fiery sword and carry a book to read in his free time.
'There was a commotion by the gates of the Four Seasons, and Archangel Uriel flew right away as he flapped his wings, excited to find at what it was.
It was a tall and gangly knight covered with armour which didn't quite fit him, riding on a 'rouncey' used for destitute warriors in this Realm.
"What brings you here, knight?"
