Immanuel's POV

"I, Michael, Commander of the armies of Heaven, one of the 10 Archangels, hereby officially declare you the rank of 'Guardian Angel'. Arise." 

I stood from my kneeling position, heart bursting with exhilaration and excitement, my wings fluttering. Commander Michael proceeded with the coronation. As practiced, I held up my hand and said my oath.

"I, Immanuel, hereby swear to be loyal to God alone and abide by the laws of heaven, The 10 Commandments, first given to Moses. I'll carry out my missions wholeheartedly and not interfere with human affairs."

"You are now declared Guardian Angel. Let us welcome our new brother, Immanuel." Commander Michael clapped his hands, rousing the audience, and gave me a warm smile. "Welcome to our family, brother." Commander Michael congratulate me. "Now, let us celebrate." All the Angels cheered, welcoming me home.

 The party my newfound brothers and sisters threw was amazing. There was a feast fit for a king laid and a chorus of Angels sang their glory. Many came to welcome me to the family and congratulate on my position. My wings fluttered on my back, tickling me with its softness.

After the party, I walked back to my house to rest. I entered my lavish apartment and got ready for bed. In midst of changing, I started flash backing to when I was human.

Flashback

" Hurry up, Benjamen! You're gonna be late for school!" Mother called out to me.

"Coming!" I replied back.

It was an ordinary day in South Illinois. I was particularly late today as I had a dream. In the dream, a bright light which I can barely make out the shape of a man with wings walked towards me. "Everything is about to change. Be prepared." He said before flashing out. Still unsure what that dream meant, I rushed out of home and ran to school. I ran up the steps just as the bell ring. "Oh man..." I quickly barrelled into my bible study classroom. Yeah, that's right, I go to a Christian school.

"Sorry I'm late, Ms..." I looked up and to my surprise, another man stood in my teacher's place.

 " It's ok, I'll let you off with a warning but don't be late next time. I'm Mr Andrew, by the way." Mr Andrew threw me a warm smile as he ushered me to my seat.

"Ok, class. Your usual teacher, Ms Kate, will not be continuing, unfortunately." This resulted in the whole class groaning. We all love Ms Kate.

"However, I'll take over this class for the rest of the year. My name is Mr Andrew and I hope you all will welcome me as your teacher." Mr Andrew smiled wholeheartedly. 

I heard all the girls in the class sighed while the boys glower in envy. Mr Andrew is quite dashing. he has sleek raven black hair and startling midnight dark blue eyes. He too has high cheekbones, full lips which are cherry red and a sharp, angular nose. He is slim with a few muscles here and there. Overall, his looks are quite handsome. Angelic actually.

"Ok, class. Today, we will be talking about Lucifer. Can anybody tell me who is he?" Mr Andrew start us   off. The whole class, except me, raised their hands. 

"Benjamen? Will you care to answer?" Mr Andrew asked me.

I hesitantly got to my feet and answered.

"He was God's most beautiful Angel." I timidly answered. I was shy and scared my life so my answers to teachers calling and attention is a huge no-no for me.

"Was?" Mr Andrew pressed on.

" He fell to hell when he refused to bow to humankind as he is too proud to do it. God casted him to hell when he committed that sin and Lucifer took one-third of the Angels with him. Now, he rules hell and is commonly known as Satan, or Devil."

"Correct. Thank you Benjamen." Mr Andrew smiled as I took a seat. He whispered inaudibly to himself before carrying on the lesson.

After class, I was about to leave when Mr Andrew called me." Benjamen, you left your books behind." He called after me. I looked back and saw a stack of books on my table at the back. That's strange... I could have sworn that I put everything in my bag. I gently pushed past the thinning crowd and reached my desk. Just then, I heard an audible click of the door, signalling that the door is locked. I turned my head sharply and saw Mr Andrew at the door, his hand still on the knob. 

"M...Mr Andrew, what are you doing?" I asked, trembling. 

"You need to know" was all he said before glowing. I shield my eyes as the glow got brighter. I moved my hands when the glow died down and my eyes widened in shock at what I see. 

Mr Andrew's facial features are more defined and became more muscular. But what really startled me was the huge pair of wings that popped out of his back. The wings are pure white with gold rimming the edges. The feathers are smoothed down, giving it a soft and silky look and I bet that they are that soft and silky. 

"B...But how? What?" I kept spluttering, unable to form a sentence. 

"I need to hide my true form. I'm sorry if this startles you. And my real name is Nakir." Mr Andrew, no, Nakir came towards me. I backed up into a wall and started cowering. 

"What do you want with me?"

 Did I do something wrong? Is he here to punish me? Questions started racing through my mind.

" Relax, I just want to inform you that we want you to join us." Nakir soothed me.

"Wh...What?" I could not think through the fear in me.

"Your soul is pure and uncorrupted. What we see in few humans. Thus, offering you a place in Heaven as one of our Angels." Nakir explained patiently, waiting for his response. "But...but what about my parents? They will be left alone." I cried out. i could not stand seeing my parents suffer.

"No worries, we will provide everything for your parents." Nakir reassured me.

"Ok...then, i'll go." I nodded my head firmly, making up my mind. 

"Do you want to rename yourself or use your old name?" Nakir questioned.

"Call me Immanuel. I want to start life anew." 

He nodded, and flash us to Heaven.

Flashback over

I sighed, remembering that day. It really was the best day of my life. My parents are living life freely and happily, knowing that their son is safe while I trained to be a Guardian Angel. Nakir is now my best friend whom I turn to for advice and comfort. He helped in the process of turning me into an Angel. The process consists of all 10 archangels marking me with the stele and when i'm marked, i'll be an Angel. I started studying and training to be a Guardian Angel. In my studies, I learnt that Archangel Raziel created the Nephilim, half Angel half human people, to protect the world from roaming demons. The Nephilim, also known as Shadowhunters, are well known as Raziel's children that keeps the peace on Earth from demons leaking onto the Earth. They used blades named after my superior, Seraph, to dispatch the demons back to hell. The Seraph Blades are forged in the Adamant Citadel, which is our factories, and used Adamas, which was rare on Earth but common on Heaven. Razel raised the city Idris, which is their only safe haven, to house some of the Shadowhunters while others were spread throughout Earth.

I wish I could help them since many died young but there are laws to abide by. I'm completely marked by now, golden runes snaking up my arms and all over my body. These runes help to strengthen my abilities and some gave me powers temporarily. Just like our children on Earth, only their runes are jet black and left permanent scars when they fade.

Snapping myself back to reality, I crawled into my bed, folding my wings behind me and fell asleep.
