Avery Carter -

No, you cannot assume that I am a “good angel” as not every angel is a “good” one.  I do, however, consider myself “good” in the sense that I haven’t Fallen. Do you remember when I told you about my brother, Lucifer was his name, who believed that humans should not be kept alive and that we sent him away by force?  He was what you might call a bad angel, I’m sure you know who he is, though I believe some call him by a different name.  He is the king, so to speak, of Fallen angels.

            Why haven’t you been able to see more of your home?  Is it the same reason you have to, what did you call it, lie low? Was this roommate of yours a very close friend that you could confide with and share moral dilemmas?  I friend like that is important. Do your parents not trust you because you’ve done something to make them lose the confidence that most parents have in their children?

            You are my Fathers creation! He watched you grow from the very beginning to what you are now; you are amazing creatures.  Of course he loves you more than angels! He created angels too but we are very different. 

Yes, Avery Carter, my home is the Heaven.  But, I’ve lived in Heaven all of my existence and the Heaven I go to is different from where Man goes.  When I am summoned to Heaven it’s always to have meetings or draw up plans, I am not in paradise.  So, it’s not that it isn’t safe it is just that . . . I am tired of it. 

            So you are a spy? Very interesting, I can see how that could cause many moral dilemmas.  I believe you, Avery Carter, if course I do.  There is good in all Men, no matter what they have done in the past.  Though I would like to know what wrongs you must right.  Who or what mislead you? You are so young to have been though so much but I assure you I will not fail you.  There really isn’t anyone I can tell, unless you count Celsabourne . . . but I haven’t gotten to see him as much as I would like.

            Sometime I wish I were human because having all of this power is sometimes too much.  It isn’t really glorious at all.  I was created a soldier of God, I defend Mankind and now due to the justified trouble I got into I am now a protector of an eight-year-old girl.  I feel pain and hurt only in a emotional way, not a physical way (as I can’t be killed or wounded). It is a rare feeling and it only happens when a traumatic event occurs, like something that humans wouldn’t really be able to fully recover from.

            Tell me something, Avery Carter, do your parents know of your job?  Also, how did you get to be a spy?
