Back to Orders, Part I. It all started when the Watchers Sabrathon and Kochabiel informed Michael that a deranged human—a dark magician by the name of Jiang Xuande—had stolen a powerful grimoire from the Apokomistis Astaroth. Allow me to provide some background (per usual) so that you can understand what this means (before we angels…
Orders, Part I
Not long after we angels were created by God, He separated us into the Orders. Angelic Orders can best be described as the different types of jobs that God assigned to us. Contrary to what has been written about angels by most humans, there are more than nine Orders. Most things relating to angels come…
Valac the Demon, Part IV & Conclusion
Back to Valac the Demon, Part III. 28 Raphael. Sachiel’s Hour. On to business with where we left off last week. Valac saw to it that Gros was returned home. All that night, Gros was tormented in his dreams by the events of the evening. He awoke the next morning feeling altogether ill and sore…
