Prologue: Araboth, High Council of the Archangels

If you were to visit the counseling room of the Archangels, you might be surprised at what you'd see. Though they are celestial beings created by the hand of God, they conduct their politics much in the same way our own Congress does. What do I mean by that, exactly? It's quite simple: they make low blows, they use vulgar language, and of course there is the occassional fist fight, or rather full out boxing match to the death...

How do I know all this, you may ask? Well, that too is quite simple: I go to every one of these meetings. I make the lowest blows, use the most vulgar language, and initiate almost every fight. My name is Azrael. I am the Archangel of Death and right now, I think I'd like to put that title to good use...

Are you curious? Go ahead, keep reading if you are. But just another warning in case you didn't get it the first time:

Dispose of all your thoughts about angels being pure and holy, because we're not. We're just as messed up as you are. Maybe even more so. Whatever the case, the lies end here. From this point onward you will see what we're truly like.

Enjoy. *snicker*
