AN: I hope you all enjoy this little teaser ;) The reason for it being so short, is that I wanted to just put up an initial gathering of characters if you get me. I wanted to introduce my OC to world without having to worry too much on the actual plot atm. Please please please, R&R! Even if you hate it, I would love to hear some feedback on this :)
I very sadly do not own Legion or Michael and Gabriel. However my OC is all mine!
Though this might just be the ending
of the life I held so dear
but I won't run, there's no turning back from here
Stand my ground, I won't give in
No more denying, I gotta face it
Won't close my eyes and hide the truth inside
If I don't make it, someone else will
Stand My Ground
"You knew about this from the beginning, didn't you?"
"Please don't make me choose a side Gabriel, because you know whose it shall be."
"Me make you choose? Oh no my child, it is you that has chosen this fate for yourself. You have gone back on the oaths you have sworn, you and he whose name I shall not mention, for the very thought of it brings tears to my eyes. You are both no better than the Morning Star!"
"Gabriel….that is not fair. All Lucifer cared about was controlling man, we want to help them; lead them back onto the path of righteousness. Why are you unable to see that? You are blinded beyond belief by your devotion to the creator."
"Don't you dare speak to me of my devotion! Your treachery has allowed me to finally see your true colours and it sickens me to think that you were kept in the Lords confidence. You have both brought shame to us all."
"Would you honestly turn your back on us, in our hour of need….brother?"
"Yes Elizabeth, I would."
In the early years of mankind, God was greatly feared. The very thought of the wrath of the Almighty was enough to make the most sinful thug a saint. His Angels though were much loved and idolised. Symbols of love and divine holiness. Pure light shining through the blackest of storms. There were of course, more than could ever be mentioned or counted. Together forming an army of illumination. There was as well the hierarchy of Angels; the Archangels. There were only a small amount of these divine beings, but no Angel in the whole of heaven was as powerful as the 'Celestial Three'. Two from the Celestial Three, were known as Michael - Who is like God? And Gabriel - God is my might. The third Angel however, was rubbed out of the holy scriptures that mankind read, simply because of the ampleness that she held within her bosom. Her name was Elizabeth - My God is a vow.
Mankind refused to allow a female to have so much power, to be an equal with two of the most powerful beings in creation. She was the angel of birth, nature and music, and although they had denied her, man was her one true love. She and Michael were the first to bow to them, and she had felt her heart swell each day with love and devotion towards them. She swore to protect the humans throughout all the pain and misery that life had to offer, but for her kindness she had to pay a great price. The darkness of mankind turned her into a tortured soul, that felt each stab of their wickedness. Nothing that they could do though, was too great for her affection and pity.
One of the most bitter moments in her existence, occurred during Exodus. She stood over Moses as his mother Yocheved cradled him in her arms. She was by his side from the moment he was born, to his last hour. She watched in immense sorrow as Pharaoh ordered the death of the first born, and then many years later the same act, but this time at the hands of the Almighty himself. She saw Moses be torn apart by his grief of losing his brother and guilt of all the death and pain that had been caused by his hand. She thought of these moments often, and although she helped Moses succeed with his mission she never again guarded over a human in the same way.
From the word go, Michael, Gabriel and Elizabeth all had to work together through the darkness that was to come. They had great duties to fulfil as well as striving to be an example to the other angels. The Celestial Three were the very first creations of God and sat at his right hand. Their connection with each other grew by the years, and they solely relied on one another to make right and just decisions. Even through this bond though, their weaknesses and incompatibility was obvious and often worried God himself. Gabriel was an extremely devout servant to the Lord and would happily burn in the fires of Hell if God asked it of him. Michael loved God deeply but often questioned his judgement and caused many arguments in heaven because of it. He was obviously favoured by the Creator and this angered many divine beings, including the impassionedly envious Gabriel. Elizabeth on the other hand, felt more loyalty and love towards man. It was an emotion that frightened her due to the enormity of it. She often found herself disagreeing with and criticizing the word of God, much like a mother and daughter. This meant that her and Gabriel fought often, usually with him questioning her loyalty to the heavens. Michael and Elizabeth though, found each other to be a calming presence and enjoyed one another's company, perhaps more than they should have. This though could hardly be helped, seeing as they had both suffered an enormity of turmoil and chaos, back when they were the Celestial Four…..
