Of all created in His great name, he’d been the first. Per obligation and some interest he’d been present during the creation of the other great six. And now, once again, he stood as the seventh and final of the superior came into existence. This one was not quite like the others though, at least in her physical aesthetics. She held a sense of frailty and was a good deal smaller than the others. In a way it seemed like her completion remained incomplete and she had not grown to her full intended size. However, he knew this to not be true, for He never made mistakes. Even that aside, the girl did not appear incomplete. No visible flaws showed in her complexion or frame. Perhaps there was something in her personality that had gone amiss though, as none of the others had backed away. None had appeared as if to flee.
The tall, dark-haired male stood eerily still, arms dropped at his side. Even as he moved a single arm out in extension to her the rest of him remained perfectly still. “Gabriel,” he spoke her name in a voice which contained a melodic ring. And it was her name, whether she knew this yet was uncertain, but He had said that it would be her name, and so it was. “I am Lucifer.” It was his place to assist her in her earliest phases, as he had the others, but he considered the idea that he might play companion to her longer than the others. Her potential seemed significant and something about her seemed to draw him in.
“I am an Angel, a child of our benevolent God, as are you. I am here to help you, little Gabriel, as charged by his magnificence. I am here to assist you. I can answer your questions and I will show you around Heaven. You can rely on me.” As he finished speak a smile curled at the corners of his mouth. It was not an evil smile, in fact it was quite genuine and caring, but something underneath it was slightly off. Something far underneath, perhaps kept in those unwavering golden eyes which focused so intently on her.
