Merlin walked carefully over the clouds. Careful not to stray from the path so that he didn't fall through and have to fly back up again.' It's cold up here' he thought to himself as he walked. his wings were folded loosely behind his back and his head was down, watching where he put his feet. He looked up, and saw nothing but the blue sky and the sun. a small grin spread over his face as an idea popped into his head. It was childish he knew but fun none the less. His pearly white wings unfurled from his back and he beat the once, twice, three times and rose into the open air. He flew to where the clouds ended and flipped onto his back before falling backwards head first. Plummeting towards the ground. As he fell he could see the cottages and the trees with more clarity, but alas he knew he couldn't go very close to the humans. They could never know of the existence of angels, so with one final longing look towards the ground he had never touched, he flew back up to the clouds, home to where his mother was surely waiting for him.
He was right. His mother was waiting for him but she was with another man he had never seen before; his guard was instantly raised." You must be Merlin" the strange man said "I am kilgarrah, I am also an archangel. I am here to teach you to become a guardian and in time an archangel." Merlin just stared blankly at him before he let out a bark of nervous laughter "me? I can't walk in a straight line without tripping up, how am I of all people going to protect someone!?"
