“So…What’d God do? After the angels fell.”

Death looked at Her. He wasn’t sure She was Ready to Know. He steeled Himself against Her Eyes. She was the only person alive that could make Him flinch. “He fractured them. Or, their fall fractured them. No one really knows. Their…disobedience, their, willingness to help…He thought it overrode the Human’s Free Will. So-.”

“So He left us here,” she finished for Him. “To pick up our own pieces. While the humans…”

“While the humans use their Free Will. But now…Now the humans think they are stronger than us. They think they can Encage us. Sort us like their AI and Algorithms. Call upon Us in Times of Darkness, when Earth Begins to Enter the Void, again.”

“Again?” She quoted Him.

“Again,” He nodded tertly.
