Guardians Heart

It was strange, duty never ending. Cycles of reincarnation and he was still defending humans, how many times in the last century in his cycles had he been called upon to save humanity.
It was an eternal job, and he wondered sometimes if he would ever get a break and be called back to rest. He knew Ragnarok as some cultured called it was coming, he would rather meet it with a flaming sword then be stuck in a mostly powerless human body.
At least the seals were loosened on his human body this time, otherwise he would have been killed and would have to start over.
"Kami-sama, the humans aren't ready yet, I won't have the strength to destroy the next strike if they keep growing at this pace," he sighed, he only hoped that after this life he could be himself for awhile.
He stared down at the town he had grown up this life, so simple yet nonsimple this place, it was a small town yet had such a high technology rate. He feared for them, he guarded them as best he could, but he could feel this body weakening slowly.
That was the price of using an angels power in a mortal shell.
"I don't have much time left," he whispered, it was the truth.
He would miss this place, this life, he almost wished the part of his true self, his angel self had stayed asleep and he could have been just human. But he knew that if he had this life would have ended quiet earlier.
Really, he was surprised his family and friends hadn't caught on to the fact he wasn't exactly what they thought, a human wouldn't have survived so many dangers not even badly hurt.
"I should head back before everyone freaks I'm missing," he mused, after all Rockman had been known to do that when he went away without him for some alone time.
Quickly he started walking home, on his back a pair of glorious wings of light vanished as if they had never been there.
END... or is it?
