God’s heart twisted with a million emotions as Satan threw herself headfirst into the stream of furious energy that he’d released, assuming in shock that the fight would end then and there. And yet, the light hit her upraised hand and ricocheted off the large diamond on her finger to strike the tree above their heads instead. There was a brilliant crack followed by a dozen screams of fright, before a sizeable, flaming branch fell to the ground with a thud behind Satan, putting a wall of fire and smoke between her and God, and Miguel and his people. She yelped when a small branch full of leaves glanced off her wings, and some of her black feathers immediately charred and fell to the ground, which hurt God as much as it hurt her. But she was not dead- far from it, and was on her feet again a moment later, glaring at him and flapping her wings to blow the linger embers clinging to her feathers free.

‘You can’t do this!’ Satan cried. ‘You can’t hurt him! It is me you really want to punish, so I’ll leave! Let him stay, and I will leave!’

God’s hand dropped limply and suddenly, he heard soft flutters in the wind behind him over the crackle and pop of the burning branch. He turned and saw that three of his Soul Mates had arrived- the last three unaccounted for, and they looked as weary and heartsick as he felt.

‘We heard your threat father,’ Rabia said sadly, closing her stained and ragged wings. ‘And it is with heavy hearts that we come to plead with you to retract it.’

‘We understand your anguish,’ Tariel said, and he had only the cartilage of his feathers left. ‘But we’ve come to make ours plain, and appeal on behalf of the surviving humans as well father! Let us stay, please? Let us love them, and heal this earth as best we can and in your name!’

‘We have bested her most devoted followers!’ Selafiel informed him, his eyes bright lavender with excitement. ‘So if you best Satan, now, there is no need for you to finish off the earth! The world could go on under only the influence of the divine!’

But God’s heart sank- he could not fight or defeat Satan- she’d already proved that by intercepting his thunderbolt. He was running out of time, and energy! If he didn’t leave soon, heaven would suffer his loss and the entire universe would be hers!

‘You have people too?’ Miguel asked his counterparts, bringing his family around the branch.

‘Dozens,’ Tariel said. ‘On the other side of this continent.’

‘Hundreds in the southern hemisphere,’ Rabia said, with a proud smile. ‘And they are worth saving- as is the earth that they cling to!’

‘See!?’ Satan cried, her wings flapping hard enough to blow the smoke from the burning branch toward the cliff face behind her.
