I have been very busy in the past few days—when I was not in training, I was on patrol, and when I was not on patrol I was watching over Alex. I have hardly seen Freya, though I make a point of visiting her at least for a few moments every day. I do not want her to feel alone as she was while I was gone. Training to be a scout is an interesting endeavor. There is less concern…
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…

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…
