I'm flying with an angel, to see God. Wow. Probably not the best idea I had to spend on a Friday afternoon.

We stayed like that for a few minutes. I felt a change of gravity, so we must be close or we're there.

"You can open your eyes, but don't stare at the angels." His arms moved away from my waist as I slowly opened my eyes.

White. Nothing but white. I felt out of place in the city of angels. I wonder if Kai would mind if I called it that. "Hey, Kai..." He clasped his hand over my mouth.

"Don't call me that here," he whispered in my ear. I felt a shiver go up my back. "We are not allowed to use our human names here."

I lowered my eyes from his gaze. He moved his hand away. "Sorry."

He glanced away from me. "It's ok. Just don't do it again." He stalked off in the direction of a giant castle-like structure.

"Is that..." I started.

"The Kings palace? Yes."

I finally caught up to him. "Am I allowed to call him God?"

"Only if he says you can. Until then, it's probably better if you don't."

The shiny, pearly gates look even cooler up close. My jaw went slack.

Kai was talking to one of the guards when the gates opened. "Thanks for understanding, Red."

Red nodded briefly. "No prob, Savior."

Kai stalked toward the giant palace like it was his home or something.

"Umm... Hey, Savior." He turned his head to look at me with a small smile for calling him by his given name. "Are angels given names based on characteristics of past lives?"

He suddenly seemed intent on studing the marble pavement. "For some, others no."

My eyebrow ruffled. "What about you?"

He looked back up at me then at the palace, still far off in the distance, and back to me. "I was no savior in the civil war. I was young and stupid, but a good person nonetheless."

"Why were you going to Hell when The King saved you?"

"Wrath, my worst sin. Humans go to Hell for committing four of the seven deadly sins. I committed all of them at least once, but Wrath was by far the worst."

"I think my worst is Pride."

Kai chuckled. "Yes, that's bad as well."

The palace came into view. There were few trees and a statue of an unknown angel.

I pointed to the statue of the angel. "Who's that?"

"My good friend, Wolf. I call him Snowman. He was friends with me while we were both on Earth. He fought beside me on the battlefield and died at the same time. He's so dramatic sometimes, but all angels adore him."

I openly sighed. "You did it again." He looked confused. "All I asked was who he was, not for his life story."

He smirked. "You would've asked eventually."

We stopped at the large, grey doors. A loud voice boomed through the overdramatic doors. "Who is it?"

"Savior, reporting back from his mission to escort Tyson to the palace, sir."

I was just a mission? I was nothing to him?

"Bring him in." The doors slid open and a gigantic room stood before us. Three thrones were lined up at the farther end of the room. Kai walked toward them; I followed.

He kneeled before the middle throne. "Your majesty."

The man sitting in the middle throne clapped his hands slowly, almost tauntingly. "You did well, Savior. I just assigned you this mission too."

Kai nodded slightly. "He was compliant." He glanced toward me, a tear forming at the edges of his eyes. I wonder why. "What is your verdict, my lord?" For some reason, Kai would not look up from the floor to look at His Majesty. I thought that was considered rude, but Heaven is a different place. "Kneel," he whispered. I dropped to a knee and lowered my gaze to mimic Kai. His eyes softened.

His Majesty rose from his throne. "Of the seven sins, which do you believe is the worst for mankind?"

For mankind? Not just mine. I took a great deal of time thinking. I finally spoke. "Pride." Kai's eyes widened. "Not just because it's my worst sin. I believe Pride was the birth of the other sins. The thrill to compete with others is the worst feeling. You can't stop once you've started. I would know."

"How many sins have you broken in your lifetime?" His Majesty asked.

"Probably all of them," I said with shame.

"I like your answers, but for learning purposes, I'll let Savior here show you around Hell. It's the worst place to be. Savior, be a kind angel and show Tyson around Hell."

He's going to take it as another mission. He nodded. It was an order from God. Speaking of God...

"Your Majesty, is it alright if I call you God?"

Kai facepalmed himself. His Lord just chuckled. "My young friend, you may call me whatever you like until you're an angel. Deal?"

"Yup." My smile was so big, I couldn't feel my face.

I wonder what Hell is like. It can't be good if it keeps the villians of Earth prisoned for all eternity.
