I am not quite sure what to say. I am a little awed, and a little excited, and a little worried. When I came to meet Orison for our training this afternoon, Ruhamah was with him. This was startling in its own right, but his reason for coming was even more so. After a brief greeting, he asked me, “What do you know about scouts, Asa’el?” I was puzzled by the question, but I told him what has Orison told…
I had lost track of the days. I did not even remember what today was until I arrived at Freya’s house to find her laughing over a Valentine’s Day card that a friend had sent her in the mail. Today, for the first time since I became a full angel, the Cupids are in flight together, and I am not with them. The realization filled me with a profound sorrow. I do not regret what I have left behind, but…
Alex’s plan has come across beautifully—I could not have hoped for better results. And it has shown me the great advantage that comes with knowing one’s enemies. He has no shortage of cunning, this one. He chose his moment well, walking into the office of Mr. Hill’s accountant just before Mr. Hill was due to come in himself. Alex had an armload of documents and his head down, and so the accountant and her assistant paid him no mind, busy…
I apologize for not having written in some time. I have been using this time as carefully as I could, gauging my enemy and the possibilities of opposing them, and now I believe I am ready to make a move. I took Ero’an’s advice seriously, starting with the need to know my target well. Much of the past days I have spent with Alex, tailing him, reading him, learning more about him. As I suspected, his soul is not as…
I joined Ero’an for a patrol last night. This is the third time this week that I have been assigned with him, which is both an honor and a pleasure. I think that it is intentional that I should join Ero’an’s patrol, as we seem to have much in common. Among all the Guardians I have met, his spirit is most like mine. Yesterday was the first time that we went out just the two of us. I told him…
Taralom summoned me quite urgently this afternoon, and there was a tone of accusation in his voice. I admit that I am somewhat to blame for Evan being in danger, having encouraged Miranda to bring him into the situation, but I think this could be a new opportunity. After all, he was not harmed, and he has led me to a new line of attack, as it were. There’s a short walk from the bus stop to the apartment, and…
I am due for patrol shortly—I will be flying with Ero’an tonight, which is a great honor. But I have some time to tell you what has been happening in the past few days. I spent much of today with Freya, who has a cold and has been feeling rather sorry for herself as a result. It was a quiet, restful day for both of us, her wrapped up in three blankets and my wings, consoling herself with tea, a…
As a Cupid, I would often advise my charges not to let their anger fester. As a Guardian, I have learned that righteous anger is a powerful weapon, and sometimes it is foolish to let it go too quickly. I was furious with Robert for coming after Miranda while Evan was with her. How could he threaten a child? Does he have no compassion at all? I was so angry that I spent the rest of my evening that day,…
Well, I knew that the reprieve could not last, but I hoped to give Miranda a few more days of peace. And I certainly did not expect the enemy to cross this line. This afternoon, Miranda picked up Evan from school and took him to get hot chocolate, just because. I was just passing by, really, checking in with them, when an aura I recognized kept me right where I was. Of all Mr. Hill’s employees, the one I have…
Miranda is doing well. She can’t quite account for the absence of watchers and subtle threats, but she is relieved. Meanwhile Taralom and I are beginning to enjoy terrorizing said watchers. Mr. Hill must be thinking that he is having a terrible run of luck where it concerns this particular woman. Freya is also doing well. I can’t help but wish I could talk to her about this problem. I’d wager that not only would she have some good ideas…
