Chapter 3: Explanation

A/N: Sorry if this update came earlier or later than I was expecting. As I began to write this author note and chapter, I recently posted the second chapter. I just want to make sure you guys are prepared for this chapter. I had also just finished school, so this update is long overdue.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ezra, you have visitors," the receptionist called.

"Thank you, Ellie you may leave," called the man named, Ezra, with a smooth voice. With that the receptionist smiled and took her leave.

After she left, Crowley continued to look around. Nervously, Aziraphale went towards Ezra as the man relaxed. Noticing this Aziraphale tried to see if the man was ok or not.

"I know that this might be an intrusive question," nervously said Aziraphale, "but do you know a man by the name of Nephilim?"

"Yes," Ezra sighed, "that would be me. Sorry, normally I don't hang out in London. Normally I am in America."

"Then why are you in the first place" called Crowley.

Scoffing Ezra answered, "Well I came to investigate the apocalypse that happened recently and like I said in my letter I am becoming more noticed."

"Noticed," asked Aziraphale. Ezra nodded and lead them towards his office. On the way Crowley noticed the man almost fidgeting.

"Well yes, Father and Grandfather are not happy about it either," mumbled Ezra, "technically I am supposed to be in hiding. Only a very few angels and demons know of my existence."

Confused with what was going on both the angel and demon grew worried from what the stranger had said. But they continued to follow the man until they had reached his office. Once they had reached the door, Aziraphale noticed the many locks that line the door frame. Each were different and seemed to require a key or a code.

"I know there are many locks," Ezra assured, "this is my office if you can tell. It is were many of my personal items are and I could technically spread my wings in here too."

After he had said this the final lock was unlocked and the door was ready to be opened. When the door finally opened, the room was filled from top to bottom, it would seem, with books, artifacts, and miscellaneous items. There were a couple of drawings as well that seemed to be drawn by a little child. In awe, Crowley began to look around in amazement at the other items in the room.

"This place is amazing," Crowley finally admitted, "how…when? We could have known you had existed. You could have felt it."

"Is it right, how could you been hidden for so long," Aziraphale mumbled.

"Well in a small way my parentage allowed me to blend in as you can see," mentioned Ezra, "I could 'flip' on and off."

"It still confuses me," Crowley had said, "and who had drawn these pictures?"

Sighing Ezra had scratched his head and opened & closed his mouth before saying anything. Before doing so he had gone to the door looked in the hallway and then closed the door. Locking the door, he had debating in what to say and how to say it.

"Well, I have been alive long enough were I don't know when my life had begun. But I know it had happened years after the fall. My parents were a demon and an angel. Even so I was not allowed to be near them. I was trained and taught in many things by the few angels and demons who 'raised' me. When I was left on my own, I had decided to explore Earth, where I had finally settled in the northern countries of the east. Where I met the people called the Norse or Vikings. From there I had met my love, who was the daughter of the leader of her village," Ezra began to explain. "I had to go through many trails to finally win her hand. Before we wed, I had explained to her what I was and had faith she still accepts me. She had and we were married. Through the wedding I had moved some of my grace, not all though just a tiny bit, through her as she requested."

Shocked, Crowley asked, "how could you do this?"

"I had to ask permission first and it was hard to do," answered Ezra, "we have been together since."

A/N: I know a lot of talking happened. But I wanted to add a background. I also wanted Ezra to work in a museum as it is a job, I thought would be good for an immortal. Sorry for the long wait. I didn't know where to go. Hopefully this isn't too confusing to read.
