He wanted to hear what she had to say. Aureal continued her monotone speech, he wasn't sure, but he thought he could hear a hint of emotion behind her speech, but it was too faint.
"I asked why at first. I was told this, 'God created you and loves you. All he asks is that you have faith and believe in him.' I was but an immature being, since birth, I was blessed with extraordinary power never given to angels before, that's what they said to me. They said they did not know what this power was, but God had informed them about it, and I was a special creation." She said and pause for a moment then speak again.
"I was an outcast, many of my kind disliked me, I was even picked on verbally by some, despite taboos on such acts. My faith kept me going, I tried to ignore those who ignored me. Over time, I grew unsure about this power, and so I requested to ask God about it. My requests were denied. Years passed since I was born, and I completed my tasks like normal, with each year, I began to forget more and more about this special power I was given, until it finally awakened..." Aureal hesitated at the end, her eyes were getting teary. Alex could definitely see emotion now.
Alex decided to say something, though he wasn't sure if it would help, "I assume you're telling me this because we were both given power by a mysterious being. I don't know much about God, but I doubt he wouldn't have given you this power without a reason." He walked over to Aureal, and pulled up two chairs for the both of them. Aureal accepted one and sat down.
Seeing her up close, Alex could see her full attire on, and it was different than the pure robes and human clothes he had seen before.
It was intimidating, she did say she was a warrior, and so this must be a warrior's outfit. There were numerous plates connecting to one another, all along her limbs, torso, and lower body.
She had on a mailed skirt covered in numerous plates as well. He could tell that the metal these plates were from, that they were not of Earth.
The armor was mostly pure white, but with light blue and yellow embossments along the edges of individual plates.
Sockets were in the back to obviously allow angel wings to fit through. He could see no helmet around Aureal, but he could only assume she had a helmet with her.
This set of armor was unlike any set he had seen in history class. But he could see faint resemblances from numerous sorts of armor in Aureal's set, as if the best parts of individual armors from history had been compiled together.
He could at least see resemblances from numerous armors from all the classic Medieval countries, Japanese samurai armor, Roman centurion armor, Lamellar armor, Ottoman Janissary armor, Gothic armor, Viking armor, and probably even Aztec/Mayan/Incan leather padding armor for all he knew.
Lastly, he could see words that he couldn't recognize etched on her pauldrons.
"I'm not very religious myself, even less so since I first learned about myself... But I do know one thing, God would never ruin someone's life immediately from birth, hell, not even H*tler or P*l P*t."
Alex used his best calming voice he had for Aureal, he didn't know how to cheer up angels, or even if what he had said would work, but he was determined to help her.
"You are right... Faith has been my only companion since birth, very few have been exceptionally kind to me. Ever since what happened recently, faith has been all that has comforted me." Aureal had calmed down, but Alex could still notice some sadness in her words.
"I really don't mean to pry. But talking about what happened, especially with someone who isn't biased about your situation will definitely help."
A silent minute passed, and Alex could've sworn he heard a cat meow outside the window as he waited for her answer.
"I am sorry, I'm letting my emotion get the best of me. I have rarely experienced such sensations. You wish to know about this incident of my past... I do not wish to recount it in exact detail, so I will summarize the important parts for you."
"Fair enough, I won't force you to, just tell me about this power of yours and how it relates to this accident... I'm probably too nosy, aren't I?" Mumbled Alex, he felt guilty at trying to bring up misfortunate events from Aureal's past.
"No, I need to say this. You are a demon, and you have shown me more kindness than nearly all of my kind had to offer. We were both born with the power we didn't want, but we have to play the role it gives us."
Aureal continued, clearing her throat, Alex didn't even know angels needed to clear their throats, how interesting.
"I was given a mission, and a partner along with the mission. My partner was an angel who was one of the few who showed me kindness. Although he tried to hide it in the presence of his peers. I notice his act was selfish now, but it was more kindness than I had from most then. His name was Evan. We were given the mission to eliminate a pair of demons that were tempting humans with their offers. While you were allowed safe living as long as if you didn't harvest souls, they were there illegally. The two demons were of Pride and Wrath, two groups that rarely coexist. Still, the two were offering gifts of revenge and vanity in order for the human's souls. Evan and I went to their location, a city I believe is called Seattle." Aureal took a breath before continuing.
