(Luce)

"Daniel…. Who is that?" Luce asked as she watched the small puff of cloud hit the ground and rise again revealing the silhouette of a girl. Cam choked on the Dr. Pepper he was drinking, Arianne let out a low whistle, and Daniel slowly turned to see what had caused the reaction and his entire body tensed in her arms, he quickly let her go and took a step towards the girl but stopped as if he changed his mind. The girl drew closer anyway, and Luce slowly began to make out her features. Her breath slipped out of her lungs, the girl was striking, she had long blonde hair with a soft curl, a slim body clad in a white sundress, incredibly pale skin, and as she approached Daniel, Luce was finally able to see the amazing pink tint in her cheeks and the most amazing eyes that were all different shades of blue in a million different flecks.

"Daniel!" she smiled and pulled him into a hug, Daniel stayed rigid for a moment but eventually hugged her back. Luce had lost sight of the girls beauty as the edge of her vision turned red with jealousy. Her instinct was to tug him away from her but the hug ended before she could take action. The girl looked behind Daniel and smiled at Arianne and Roland, her eyes never falling on Cam almost intentionally and then those eyes fell on Luce and she realized she had been wrong about the color, one eye was the blue she had seen but the other was emerald green, and she also hadn't noticed the small purple flecks within the blue eye that matched Daniel's violet eyes exactly. Her head cocked involuntarily to the side and it made the girls smile widen and a warm feeling washed over Luce, a feeling she usually only got from looking at Daniel smile. Things were definitely not making sense to her. "And you must be Lucinda, I'm sorry that I don't recall your last name, but they can get difficult to keep up with." Okay, now Luce was more than confused, she looked up at Daniel searching his face for any form of answers. He looked down at her meeting her gaze; his expression conflicted seeming somewhere between confused, horrified, happy, and relieved. There wasn't enough room on his face to properly portray each emotion and it was almost humorous. Daniel finally found his voice and cleared his throat.

"Ummm, yes this is Luce, err... Lucinda Price, but we call her Luce," Daniel smiled at the girl, and turned back to Luce taking a deep breath and taking too long, "and Luce," he finally addressed her "This is Rhiannon…. She is," He took another deep breath "She's my baby sister," he finally spit it out and Luce finally relaxed. All the angels were "brothers and sisters" or that's what they called themselves.

"So you're an Angel or a Fallen Angel?" Luce asked letting all of this wash over her and feeling every one of the angels get fidgety behind her.

"Oh Heaven's no!" Rhiannon smiled brightly again and looked at Daniel "Get it?" she laughed, but none of the others made a sound.

"She isn't either of those things," Cam piped up from behind Luce, and odd edge to his voice. Rhiannon tensed at the sound of his voice but wouldn't break eye contact with Luce.

"I'm not a child of the one true deity," She began to explain, "I'm a child of a whole different set of gods," she smiled and Luce felt like her head was going to explode. The sound of the waves crashing was starting to sound distant as the only sound pounding in her ear became her heartbeat.

Arianne quickly chimed in, "So as wonderful as this story is, I think it's pretty obvious that Luce has no clue about any of it and it might be a lot for her to handle seeing as she just got back from her past," She grabbed Luce by the arm and sat her down by the bone fire they had made earlier in the night. Daniel and Roland followed suit and sat by the fire, only Cam stayed standing as if he meant to talk to Rhiannon, but she swept past him, and Luce was the only one who saw her flinch when her arm brushed his. She sat gracefully by the fire while Cam stayed facing the water, his posture was rigid and looked sad. She held her breath and waited for him to turn but when he didn't she turned her attention to Rhiannon who was smiling but her eyes looked tortured.

"Where do we even start?" Roland asked the others circling the fire, "Luce has barely just found out about outcasts, announcers, and the war waging on, let alone the fact that she hasn't even known about us until a little bit ago, there is way too much for us to even understand and we have been around for how long?" He asked rhetorically.

"I agree there is going to be so much to explain, but as fallen we no longer really know much about it all, we aren't exactly in the loop anymore," Arianne said letting sand run through her finger as she picked it up in fist fulls.

"Luce," Daniel said slipping his hand into hers, "I will explain to you what I can and what I know for sure, just go with it and it will make sense hopefully, and Rhiannon…" He said glancing at her "Will finish what I cannot," He looked at Luce waiting for an answer, but all she could manage was a nod.

"You were never raised with a religion so hopefully that will make this all easier. God, the devil, heaven, and hell you have already learned about after we all came into your life, but there is a bit more to it…. All other religions have gods as well that truly exist… and the biggest most influential would be the gods and goddesses." Daniel paused and looked her in the eye gauging her reaction. She lifted her eyes to Rhiannon and back to Daniel.

"You mean like Zeus and Harrah?" she asked feeling her brain remember the lesson she had to learn about Greek mythology in Elementary school, but they were slim and were based mainly on the Disney interpretation of Hercules.

"Exactly!" Rhiannon smiled brightly. And Luce found it easy to comprehend that there were other higher beings out there, it only made sense that if one religions god was real that the others deserved the same validation. Daniel cleared his throat preparing to continue.

"Zeus and our father, well I suppose you can call them brothers. Zeus decided on a much different approach with his power by creating gods and goddesses as well as Demi-gods and such, well our father chose to create an immortal race that was in short his army of good that would be at his command. Similarly angels and the gods each have a purpose or main concern, the biggest difference is that Zeus made his children known and worshipped by the humans who followed him, and our father kept us humbled to stay his children…." Rhiannon cut him off with a snort of laughter, right as Cam finally came to the fire and sat, Daniel shot the girl a heavy look.

"You guys sure are 'humbled' now," she laughed and he rolled his eyes continuing.

"… The problem Zeus ran into was that with being worshipped, some gods got into their head that they should be a leader and overtook the thrown…"

"To be fair, they were titans not gods by any means," Rhiannon interrupted. And before Luce could stop herself she piped up.

"The Titans, Like the walking disasters in Hercules," She heard how foolish she sounded but couldn't stop the comment from slipping out.

"Close love, but no cigar," Rhiannon started "The titans should have been gods, they would have been a great aspect of our world, but it didn't work the way it should have. They are not a walking mountain and a talking tornado. They are ruled by Cronus and are a set of gods much like the ones that Rule under Zeus. But they wanted much more from the humans and were abusive of their powers. Say if you could look at the difference between Hitler and Washington, they were both leaders and great ones but their motives is what separated them and caused the line of good and bad to be drawn between the two. Zeus had all the Titans locked away in Tartarus, a heavily guarded prison where they can't escape. And Zeus as well as all of us look after the human race as we intended," She sighed heavily and looked at me, her eyes sparkling in the dark. "Do you understand Lucinda?" She finally asked.

"I think I'm starting to," I nodded trying to convince everyone and myself. Rhiannon at least pretended to buy it and kept going.

"Zeus wasn't the only one who ran into trouble. The Deity also had the issues that I'm sure you now know quite well. Some of the angels questioned his superior power and why he got to lead and hence the fall," Daniel looked about to interrupt but she hurried on. "Granted that some angels fell for entirely different reasons and have chosen to stay away from being a demon, but Satan quickly gained his bearings and now creates demons all on his own. So Zeus is the king of the gods, and The Deity is the Lord of the Angels, which in turn is why we consider them brothers…. Equals in power and in loyal followings. Hades and Satan I suppose you could call brothers as well. Think of it as similar stories only with different actors in the roles. Look at Daniel for instance…" She motioned to him and he froze, obviously not sure what she was going to say. "He is a Grigori Angel, in the book of Enoch it enforces his rules that he must be a guardian to the humans on earth, or if you wanna call it something familiar he is a guardian angel," Luce looked at Daniel, she had never known that before, how could he not tell her he had been a guardian angel, and that was his role in heaven, he wouldn't meet her eyes so she moved them back to Rhiannon, whose eyes were fixed on Cam "Or there is Cameron the angel of resurrection," Cam's eyes snapped to her and they blazed with something that Luce couldn't place. "But in the gods the guardian is one and he is called Pilumnus and as for resurrection the closest thing we have is Osiris. The angels and gods are so similar and the way you have Nephilim, we have demi-gods. Our worlds are not much different when you truly think about." And after a beat of silence Luce realized that she was finished, and although the information had made complete sense, all she could do was let it process over and over again. Now she also knew Cam and Daniels job in heaven and was achingly curious about the rest of the fallen angels, and then her mind sprung to the blond in front of her.

"What are you?" she asked only after realizing it might have sounded rude.

"A goddess," Rhiannon threw a clump of sand into the fire "And an angel," She finished with a huff. Okay back to square one for Luce, she was more confused than ever.

"Rhiannon and I are brother and sister," Daniel said tipping Luce's face up to his and kissing her lightly. "Unlike the archangels who were created, we were born with 'parents' and lineage that chose our role in heaven. But family isn't the same in heaven we aren't conceived, our mothers and fathers are placed together for their skill and there is no sex, but our mother give birth to us, and our 'parents' are only our trainers and we are simply made to do our job and I never actually knew my parents well, in fact none of us truly did," He said motioning to the others. "Unfortunately the man who trained me had an affair, with Gaia, The Greek Goddess of the earth, and well Rhiannon was the result. It's never happened before or after her. The angels and gods tend to stay away from each other and attend only to their followers, but every once in a while there is business to attend to between Zeus and our heavenly father, and the occasion was a war that was starting over the confusion of religion in the humans so guardian angels were sent to handle it with Zeus. My father was exiled because it was before the fall, and Rhiannon was taken as a baby and trained by me to see if she was truly a guardian, but when she showed more signs leaning towards the free will of the gods at about 10 years old she was sent back to her mother to live her life out in Olympus. But none of the angels had ever had a sister before, or a real sibling for that matter, angels were paired only once to create new angels. I had an odd attachment to her, so I took every chance I got to visit Olympus. Her mother loved me and would let me spend all the time with her that I could, but then the attack from the Titans happened and Gaia took her into hiding, and shortly after the fall happened, I never saw her again… until long after the fall she was captured but a Greek royal and kept as his own personal slave. Cam was the one who found her and contacted me. We all went on a rescue mission but it was shortly after you… passed, and my mind was messed up. After we decided on how to get her out without causing more damage and deaths then necessary I felt you come back and I was desperate so I left the mission to Cam and went to find you," He took a deep breath guilt flashing on his face. "The mission went fine and I tried to summon her after I knew you were safe and she…. Well she was angry at me, for not being there and she was scared of all the new faces, I let her down," Daniel sighed heavily looking at Rhiannon, Luce watched her straighten up, but quickly relax.

"Don't worry about it Danny, its old news," She smiled brightly at him.

(Rhiannon)

Rhiannon sat by the fire watching the flames reach up to the sky. Silence had fallen over the group after the long explanation of her and Daniels history and how they were related. No one had asked her yet why she had visited them or any questions for that matter, they had been too preoccupied in Luce who had apparently just had a run through announcers recently. Rhiannon didn't know much about announcers, but she knew well about the shadows that created them because she could manipulate those shadows.

You're not even going to look at me, are you?

She heard the voice invade her head and it washed over her like a warm blanket. She felt his sparkling black eyes watching her through the fire, but she ignored Cam's message, and continued to completely engross her mind in the sand that lay under her fingers.

Rhiannon…
