WHAT IN THE NAME OF the Fates was wrong with these angels? No personal effects? No connections to anyone, it seemed. What a sad and lonesome existence... Why would the Creator not wish his children to enjoy the fruits of the universe when they guarded it so diligently at all times?

It was all quite sad. And explained a lot. No wonder Lucifer didn’t know how to loosen up and have a little fun.

Diana made a mental note to question Lucifer why they didn’t just step through a liminality portal to get here instead of flying through space. It seemed to her that would’ve been the safest course. No flaming balls of light to crash into them. No black holes to suck them out to the edge of oblivion.

At least the rest of the trek through the forest was a touch livelier. She had someone to talk to and the angel squad had stopped marching in formation and instead conversed among themselves.

All except for Lucifer and Aquifas.

Balfour—for that was the name of her new red-headed angel friend—seemed pleasant enough and curious about a lot of things outside his small world of being a soldier for Heaven. For having traveled the universe more than a few times, he knew very little. He wanted to know all about Mount Olympus and if all the rumors about the gods’ decadent behavior were true.

Puck even warmed up to him, sharing outrageous tales of Zeus’s exploits. Well, outrageous but still true stories. Seeing the incredulous look on his face made Diana question if she should be embarrassed by her father’s behavior. It’d never occurred to her before.

“And once the king of the gods transformed into the perfect likeness of a great king on... oh, I forget the name of the planet... isn’t important... while the king was away fighting. He burst into the queen’s bed chamber and made love to her for hours until the king returned, catching his wife in the act. Well, unfortunate thing hadn’t known it wasn’t her husband, but he was unforgiving. Zeus just laughed, flying off in the form of a giant eagle. Rumor has it that she had become pregnant with the god’s child, further infuriating her husband who cast them both into a vast ocean.”

“Oh, for pity’s sake, Puck. You’re going to give the angels the impression all the gods are a bunch of degenerate freaks.” Diana smacked his hand.

“We already do.” Lucifer hadn’t even turned around to say the words that pierced her heart with a fiery dagger of resentment.

“At least we’re not self-righteous angels with sticks up our asses.” The words flew past her lips so fast she couldn’t stop them.

Everyone, even the uptight Aquifas, chuckled... all except Lucifer, whose frown could not deepen any further.

“Whatever happened to the poor queen and the baby?” Balfour inquired, his face filled with concern. “Did the great Zeus intervene on their behalf.”

Thankfully, Puck had no compulsion against telling fibs or half-truths. Unlike Diana whose cheeks and neck would blaze blood-red whenever she attempted to lie.
