@Slime Oh, that. To be fair, only one Hero (and a crapton of mortals) was really doing the fighting there, which was Belvast, and Belvast isn't really built for combat. Loth didn't even participate, and Falas and the rest of the Angels just finished off the beat up Realta.
Meanwhile I'm just here enjoying old archetypes with new cards, like Ancient Gear.
Unfortunately, the decks I build tend to be one-trick ponies. My Ancient Gear deck is almost entirely focused on summoning Chaos Giant, and has very little in the way of backup plans.
The Angels had been minding their own businesses. Some were lounging around. Some were chatting with others. Some adventurous ones were flying around, taking in sights. All of them were relaxing and having fun in their own way. A good rest was what everyone felt like they needed. Peace and quiet in the Valley of Peace. It seemed like nothing would disturb them.
Suddenly, chaos erupted. A multitude of images and ideas flashed through their minds. Shiny pointy sticks, with the name "swords" accompanying it in their minds". Curved wood with string, firing other pointy sticks; "bows and arrows". The images were more than just weapons, however. There were buildings made out of blocks of stone, and a number of appliances that made it easier to live in them. They appeared much more comfortable than any hut the Angels had made as well. Visions of new food appeared as well. One image of a Hain was shown working a lump of something, turning it into a type of food called "bread".
The visions seemed to last a lifetime, but in reality, only a second had passed. The Angels soon returned to normal, each having their own reactions to what had just happened. Most were confused as to what they had just experienced, while others were already quick to pretend it didn't happen. A few brighter Angels realized what the visions were: knowledge of the outside. There was so much that could be done with this knowledge, and inspiration was striking them. These Angels began to share their ideas, gesturing and pointing to emphasize their points. Not all Angels listened to them, but there were a few who did.
The 4 Archangels were particularly interested, having experienced the same visions as everyone else. Under an unanimous consensus, they began to gather together these fine minds to hear more of these ideas and determine which of them could be applied.
Progress was beginning.
"We don't really have the materials for making proper equipment, but we can definitely substitute some and achieve the same results. The Holy Trees make wonderful wood, and with some creative use of our power, we-"
"And the leaves from the Holy Trees, they do so much for other Angels' wounds. They're not as strong as Pure energy, but Pure energy won't always be around to help. I'm thinking-"
"Perhaps we could carve our way in the Nice Mountains, make living spaces there. It would take a lot of work, but the benefits could really outweigh the cons. Of course, we should probably asking for Mother Niciel's permission for that, but-"
Ideas were spewing out from various Angels, and the Archangels were listening and nodding at everything they had to say. Finally, Archangel Michael raised a hand to silence them. "Thank you, everyone, for your contributions. If you would like to make some prototypes for any of your ideas, feel free. We will assist you in any way we can. You are dismissed."
After the Angels flew off, Michael turned to the other Archangels. "What are your opinions?" he asked them.
"Certainly a lot of potential with this new knowledge, but only time will tell which of it can be applied practically," Sarina confessed, a pick-haired Angel with blue eyes and wings.
"The equipment and medicine would go a long way toward future battles. We had been woefully ignorant in our last one, and I do not intend to make the same mistake next time," Sabathiel declared, a yellow-haired Angel with yellow-eyes and wings.
"You act as if we should be expecting another battle," Raphael, a blue-haired Angel with pink eyes and yellow wings, said to Sabathiel. "We should really be looking for ways to prevent them, and by doing so, prevent Angels from dying unnecessarily."
"An idealistic way of thinking," Sabathiel scoffed. "There will come a time for battle, whether we wish to or not. We should at least be prepared for it when that time comes."
"That is enough, you two," Michael said, raising a hand to silence them. "We all have our ideas, and we shall meet again when the time is right. Remember to report to Commander Falas upon her return. Dismissed."
-The Angels were just minding their own business, when suddenly knowledge of the world to all mortals, Angels included. Unbeknownst to them, this is courtesy of Vestec. As a result, Angels begin to have visions of the knowledge being shared. The Archangels are very interested and make preparations for progress.
You kids and your new archetypes. I'm sticking to my old decks that I know how to play. Maybe some old archetypes that got new cards, too.
Speaking of which, I finally learned how to use DevPro. It's surprisingly easy, actually. Unfortunately, I only have a couple decks, but they're still fun.
