The Heavenly Host had long been searching for the Nephilim from when it was first created; its power had been sensed through Heaven without question, for days now but its location had been next to impossible to pin point. It had been clear early on that the Angel that had created the abomination was still with its mother and somehow protecting her location. Gaveel hadn’t seen such a display of defiance in nearly four decades and it was annoying. They had all but lost sight of the Nephilim, despite being able to sense it’s presence pin pointing it was next to impossible.
As luck would have it the Sinning Angel had come to them, to herself personally, to attempt to rectify the error. Alaric had always been dutiful, even if he had been far too emotionally attached to his charges. It was all well and good to have compassion for the naked apes God loved so dearly, but it was another to love them. He had come seeking compassion, seeking asylum and above all, seeking assistance in saving the woman’s life he had endangered with his Sin. Naturally Heaven’s Host was less than compliant to his wishes. He had been seized and held for judgement.
In the old days, Gaveel thought on, he would have been immediately executed for the admition of his crime, but given their current circumstances, and what the last Prophet had seen would occur, Heaven didn’t have the man power, for lack of a better term, to use old laws. It had been decided then that he would be kept alive and well, bound in Holy Chains until the time they would require his Grace; then he would be ended, the Grace used to prevent the First Sin from taking its wrath upon Heaven.
In Alaric’s plea he let slip the mothers name and location, a hunter colony called Vitae and a woman, a hunter called Ashley-May Branston. Of course it had to be a hunter that evaded their sight for this long, as the last one had been; and it had escaped them. Gaveel was not about to allow such a thing to occur a second time, however just as they were about to decened upon the colony and destroy anyone within their path and odd occurrence happened. Ashley-May Branston started appearing all over the place. Not just in the United States but globally. Gaveel presumed it was one of the gods that had warded Vitae; an efficient warding that they could see but could not disable without falling to its trap. But this ward also prevented Gaveel from seeing within the colony and confirming the mothers location.
While she knew the Host could take on any pagan god, with losses of course, she couldn’t afford to lose anyone on a hunch. So she commanded her legion to start work, seeking and destroying any Ashley-May images they could find around the world.
