Proof of Life
AN: A long time ago, I explored theoretical proofs. I was never that great at them and now I'm rather rusty at them, so don't be surprised if the actual logic sucks.
Consider this: Everyone knows Gabriel is dead.
Everyone: Ganesh—the Elephant that never forgot Loki Pied Piper-ing a thousand mice into his home. Though, he's similarly deceased. Kali—the only survivor of the Elysian Fields deity bloodbath. The Winchesters—who are grateful Porno-grams aren't the latest fad. Lastly, Lucifer—the fallen angel, who bears Cain's mark of fratricide a hundred times over.
Death: Shadow of charred wings. An eastern devil slays the eastern angel masquerading as a western god.
The negation: IF everyone knows Gabriel is dead, then NO one knows he is ALIVE.
Gabriel is dead.
That is without doubt.
To fall under Death's cruel scythe is to lose the breath of life.
Gabriel's been an angel his whole life and Loki for only a fraction of it. Yet, the fraction is bigger than the whole.
Mixed numbers are enough to unbalance Anubis' scales and tangle the threads of fate.
Besides, gods don't really ever die. They just get recycled…. in a vague cosmic sense. Even the partial ones. There's a lot of debate among the divine brethren as to whether or not Loki's forgery makes him more or less godly. Godhood is a tricky subject matter. The Tricksters: Coyote, Fox, Anansi, etc, appreciate and chuckle at the display of cleverness. Thor is confused. Others are un-amused, non-confused, and dialing up on the whole wrath aspect.
Additionally, the timeline is all kinds of screwy. Angels have been time traveling like it's going out of style. Plus, God is outside of time and some of the gods have been around since before the beginning of time, but others started later and everyone's so wrapped up in themselves that no one knows when Loki actually popped into existence.
Is Loki the chicken or the egg or just a vessel? Who came first Loki or an archangel? Is Gabriel simply a stage of Loki's life or vice versa? Like infancy or adolescence. Are they even inseparable?
Everyone knows Gabriel is dead and no one knows he is alive.
THEREFORE, I must be everyone and I must be no one; Because I know something that not even Gabriel, the stubborn dead, will admit.
Gabriel is only mostly dead. THUS, he's slightly alive.
It's high time that Gabriel stops playing dead and starts acting alive.
