NAHILI (enochian for „guide") is a supernatural creature whose purpose is to seek for, and help the souls who got lost in the Heaven-Hell system, the ones that were forcefully put where they do not belong to, put any of those places by mistake, or the ones who lived up to be transferred to a better place. Nahili is a being without any set boundaries. She can travel through every known level of the Underworld without any difficulties, she is able to communicate with every living creature and can also imprison or kill any hierarchically lower than herself being. She is capable of everything that an angel, archangel and a prophet are. Her appearance is non-changeable, based on a human form – she has an average-built human female body, her clothing is made of every unmanufactured natural substance, such as leaves, grass, roots, animal skin, bird feathers, spider webs and such – and it covers her from calf to torso, apart from arm. Around her stomach is a thick belt with a buckle that one may attach a pair of cuffs on a long chain in order to restrain the souls that need exceptional treatment. As she grew more and more experienced in her work she also got iron armor on her legs and arms. She is armed with side arms such as a single blade, knives, a spear and a special one – a long sword completed with a cross motif, carved out of the beams on which Jesus Christ died. That weapon is the strongest weapon in existence and it's hidden inside Nahili's back. Only the hilt is visible behind her head. Thanks to that weapon Nahili is able to defeat any opponent, however its use is justified only in the highest state of necessity. The element that distinguishes "earthy" appearance of Nahili from other extraterrestrials is a visible pair of strong, white wings, which serve not only to fly, but are also a kind of shield, they protect the souls traveling with Nahili and herself against external threats. Nahili is not able to possess any other body as she has humanoid body, so her appearance on earth is extremely rare and causes a strong blast of energy. The moment of landing on the ground looks like an explosion of light, accompanied by a strong gust of hot air and the deafening wave of sound, like the voice of an angel. There is, however, a way to lessen those destructive consequences – she has to be shielded with another angel's wings on her way down.
Birth process
The act of casting Lucifer out of Heaven, regarded as a purely physical act, is said to cause a sudden, strong wave of energy between Heaven and Earth. The wave, hurricane-like, took some of the angels along, for split seconds separating their graces from their vessels. However, they were instantly brought back to Heaven. One of the angels that was made to escort Lucifer on his way down was the angel Castiel. Graces of every Heaven creature that struck the Earth back then created various wonderful landscapes, but Castiel's grace was an exception – it has made a living creature, Nahili. This way Castiel gave life to an unknown creature, made purely from heavenly energy – but born on Earth. In her mind are occurring complex processes of learning, perception and decision making. Unlike other heavenly creatures, she subjects to feelings, both negative and positive. She is able to feel fear, anxiety, envy, affection, love and compassion – due to her human side and the fact that she was born on Earth. The same fact determines the human way of Nahili's growing up and learning process, even though her appearance was determined from the moment she was created. She's learned to fight, communicate, move places, gain independence and to discover her own exceptional abilities, like a human would. The learning process was naturally supervised by her father, Castiel. It affected them both – Nahili grew up from a lost crossbreed to be a strong, respectful fighter and Castiel found himself understanding and sharing human gestures and emotions. Furthermore, he is the only angel who is able to have a proper, close relationship with a human and his experience with Nahili made an impact on his later relationships with people. A cold, precise mind of an angel had gradually accepted unconditional love. That made an angel change himself, made him become more human – for and because of Nahili.
That way their shared bond grew to be based on mutual love and trust. On one point, however, they grew apart – but Nahili is still able to make it on her own – despite a constant crave to be with her father.
How does Nahili work
Nahili has a sixth sense of a kind, which provides her to feel any abnormalities around her. She uses this gift while traveling through unknown, deserted parts of Hell in search of the souls. She is able to sense how much good and evil is in a soul by hovering her hand in front of its eyes. The result appears on her palm in a form of a round spot: white-silvery shine means good and black matt – evil. The colors ratio tells her exactly what she needs to know to decide whether the soul deserve to be in a place it resides or not and if it deserves to have a second chance. If it turns out that the soul is in the wrong place, or that it rehabilitated enough to be able to move to another place, Nahili makes it a proposal to go on a journey with her. If the soul decides that it wants to go with Nahili, she tells it to follow her and explains that the smallest moment of doubt will return it to the starting point. The journey is essentially a travel through the darkest areas of the underworld, joint fight against adversities encountered, the length of which depends on the amount of the sins of the soul. The route for the "souls of a second chance" is difficult and frightening, makes a very physical repayment for sins, the route for "stolen souls" is more like an escape, the main purpose of the trip is to leave hell unnoticed. In the case of the souls of converts hell can not stop the "believer" and its guide from taking the journey, but it does everything it can to scare the soul enough to make it doubted and thus returned there, where it was found. This case, however, is very rare. Guiding stolen souls out of hell must be done in great secrecy, as once the forces of the underworld will find out about the escape they are allowed to kidnap and imprison a refugee again. After a successful transition Nahili leaves the soul and the cycle begins anew. Nahili can also restore souls to life, however, this process requires the help of a guardian angel of the soul. The soul that is being resurrected from hell goes through the process that a stolen soul would go through. When Nahili and the soul reach the angel, Nahili transmits soul which by the grace of his guardian returns to the body. Soul resurrected from heaven does not require the help of Nahili. Most of her time Nahili spends outside the Heaven. She appears there basically just to set aside a wandering soul, or to meet with her father. All souls trapped in Hell know what she is and what she does, therefore sometimes they are trying to follow her on their own, but these are left to defend themselves.
