The first thing she noticed was how dark the place was. The brooding night was lit by the stars and constellations that shone above her head. Looking around she could see waves parting in the distance, the light dancing off the water and appearing as if molten silver. The sound echoing due to the cliff sides all around her. The air felt crisp and cool, not heavy with the weight of magic like it usually did whenever she spoke with Simeth.

In front of her she thought she saw movement, ever so slightly, but enough to confirm to her that she wasn't here alone. A figure fluffed his wings, and if she hadn't been focusing her sight on the area in which he stood she would have missed it entirely. She couldn't identify who it was, albeit having never seen anyone other than Gabriel and Simeth. She took a couple steps in his direction, and was met with utter stillness. As her eyes were finally beginning to adjust to the darkened space, she noticed beside him a glinting hilt of a sword.

“Lusien.” His voice was low but clear, a hint of music etched in his intonation. The golden necklace on his chest and the insignia on the middle of the brooch nestled atop his breast gave her all the clues she needed to know who he was. She was stuck for a moment, unable to find her own voice, then, with a hammering heart and trembling hands she let out a soft “Michael,” and forced herself to land a kiss on his cheek as greeting.

He looked down on her with cold eyes, their golden hue freezing her to the spot. She had heard many things about the Archangel. How he was a warrior in every respect and feared with every right. How his face was magnificent to behold and his stature compelled others to bow low. Nothing- not the old biblical stories or the jokes Simeth told- could have prepared her for the emotionless stare that set her soul on fire while keeping her body frozen still. No words could have expressed to her the true terror that she would feel in the face of one so powerful. It felt like his mere presence sucked the warmth from the space around them.

His skin was a rich caramel, glowing as if it were reflecting flames, and his wings were the biggest she'd ever seen. “What are you doing here?” She managed after another moment of silence. Amused, he beamed at her, although his smile looked no more welcoming than his stare. “I could ask you the same thing.“ He replied. Angels, Lucy thought. Always avoidant.

In a motion too quick, Michael was suddenly inches before Lucy, his dark brown curls reaching the top of her head. In his hand he held the sword-his sword- and almost as instantly as it was there, the weapon was reduced to a pint sized charm within the palm of his hand. He held it out to Lucy, prompting her to take his greatest defense. “Why me?” Lucy asked, suddenly feeling very lightheaded. She knew he didn't particularly like her, and her abilities to keep such a keepsake safe were practically non existent. “Take it. And hold onto it. Wear it around your neck.” He promptly avoided the question, but there was a note of command in his voice that guided Lucy's hand to the sword trinket before her. “You will be in danger. Evil things are drawn to this,” Michael spoke, his gaze softening ever so slightly. “When you need it, you may use it. And if you find yourself with no escape, my Grace will lead you to safety.”

His words clearly held a deeper meaning, but Lucy simply didn't understand. She didn't want to understand. She wanted nothing to do with any of this.

With a sigh and sinking heart, she grabbed the trinket from chocolate hands and clasped it around her neck. As she set her hands down back at her sides, she noticed the place in front of her that had once been blocked by the domineering Archangel was now empty, with only a white feather there in assurance that what she witnessed was real. She let out a shaky breath in relief, grateful for the quiet but also fearing the darkness which now seemed to be concentrated ever more on her. She knew this was only the beginning.
