Several days passed, and one day Aerin heard a knock at the door while he and his family were eating dinner…
I'll get it.
After Aerin opened the door…
Hey Michael, come on in.
"Haha, you knew I was here. I was masking my presence the whole time too, well done," Michael said as he walked in.
"Aerin, who is this?" Aelira asked.
This is Michael. He is the current leader of The Absolute's armies.
"What!" Aelira, Lio, and Lyra yelled in surprise.
"Cool!" Arthur yelled.
"Hey Aerin, I was ordered here today by The Absolute to tell you more about being an Angel. Do you have a place where we can sit down and talk?" Michael said.
In the living room…
"So, The Absolute told me to tell you everything about angels and the way they exist so you can fully comprehend your new position and powers.
First things first. Angels are entirely different from humans in the way they exist.
Angels are entirely immaterial and founded on concepts. For example, my existence was founded on Law, meaning I am Law, but also I'm Michael.
Each angel is given a concept of which they are formed, but the concept they are formed from is an aspect of them, not why they exist in the first place.
Also, angels can freely manipulate concepts. It doesn't matter whether a concept is something unimportant like the concept of music or something important like the concept of order, angels can freely destroy, alter, or create new concepts. Of course, whether you should is another issue, but ultimately, every angel can.
Now there is also much more that can be done by a higher-order angel, but these are the things that regular old angels can do.
Angels are founded into groups called orders based on their strength. The weakest angels are the Messengers. They send messages, protect people, carry out the will of The Absolute, and assist believers. The second strongest group of angels are the Archangels. Archangels are the second-highest order of angels and have many purposes. The third order of angels is the Cherubim. Cherubim are the most powerful angels that only serve The Absolute. Nothing else in existence compares to the Cherubim, not even me.
Anyway, as The Angel of Order your concept is Order. Since you are the Angel of Order, you can freely manipulate order and things that are involved in maintaining order.
In other words, you can manipulate logic, time, space, reality, existence, and nonexistence.
Granted, as a normal angel there are limits to how much you can manipulate them," Michael explained.
Hey Michael.
"Yes Aerin?" Michael replied.
How can I combine with my soul body once again?
"Well don't worry. I'll combine you again right now," Michael said as he snapped his fingers, and Aerin's body combined with his soul body.
A few minutes later, an avatar appeared on the couch…
Alright, now I have no true physical form, just an avatar.
I wanted to stay separate for a bit longer, but now I don't have to worry about someone potentially harming my soul body as a result of having one physical body and one immaterial body. Now I'm just one immaterial body.
Also Michael, what is this I'm seeing?
"You are seeing The Multiverse," Michael replied.
The Multiverse? What's that?
"Well, there are many other universes like this one in existence, but also different ones. The multiverse has structures that range from being a zero-dimensional point to structures equal to Hell," Michael explained.
So it contains every possible dimensional structure?
"Indeed it does," Michael replied.
But why am I the only being here?
"There are other beings there, they are just either too big or too small for you to see," Michael explained.
I guess that makes sense.
Anyway, is there anything else you want to talk about?
"No. In fact, I was just told I need to leave to help another universe. Have a great night," Michael said as he dissipated.
Good grief, today was rough.
I guess I should tell my family I combined with my other body and now I'll just be here as an avatar.
I should also get ready for that threat.
Then Aerin told his family he would still be with them, but as an avatar, not a true body of his.
What is this threat? What does it have Aerin so worried? What's next for Aerin and his family? Find out soon…
