Falling is the first thing l feel,

Distant voices echo inside my head,

Their orders are clear,

and yet all l can think about is the others,

Remiel,

Uriel,

Amitiel,

lthuriel,

Raphael,

Michael,

Each one traveled the same path,

What was their fate?

What awaits me on the other side?

They have gone to a place where the light

is cursed and darkness blinds the soul,

This is a place

where even angels fear to tread,

Forgive me.

Freedom

is the potential to challenge yourself

far beyond the constraints

of traditional rule.

We draw strength from our passions.

We're driven by desire.

Even hatred can be a worthy ally

when used against an enemy.

And yet, we are told to turn our backs

on these things,

the very feelings, emotions,

that make us all human.

Sounds like you've been listening

to the wrong source.

lt would appear so, now, wouldn't it?

You don't like me very much,

do you, Baliel?

Strange, because l hear no complaints

from the others.

ls it something l've done?

More like something you haven't.

Then let me put your mind to rest.

You did a good thing to bring him here.

-l'm not sure the others will agree.

-Oh, they will.

And as a sign of my appreciation,

l have a gift for you.

Do you remember the Arc, Amitiel?

l know you were here.

Gabriel,

lf you are reading this, then l have failed,

We are far from grace,

further than l could ever imagine,

You will feel things

that will cloud your judgment,

This enemy within is strong

and unpredictable,

Control these emotions,

or the fight cannot be won,

The others have failed,

Learn from them, but do not follow,

You are the last, Michael,

Molloch.

-Be silent,

-Gabriel!

Close your mind,

-Silence yourself,

-You can hear me,

Silence your mind,

-They're coming for you,

-Gabriel,,,

You can hear me,

-Silence your mind, Now!

-Silence your mind, Now!

You looking for someone?

lnteresting.

What do you want?

l'm looking for an old friend of mine.

Goes by the name of Uriel.

Not here.

lt's very important that l speak with her.

She may be in danger.

The only danger here is

what you've brought with you.

Can you at least just tell me

if she's still alive?

The answer's yes.

-Now l've told you all l know.

-Then tell me where she is.

l've told you all l know.

Now it's time for you to leave.

Where is she?

This time, no lies.

You can't pull that trigger.

You're not allowed.

And why's that?

Your orders are to destroy the Fallen

and bring light back to this place.

You can't kill innocents.

lt's against your code.

So get this f***ing thing out of my face.

Firstly, Uriel is a he, not a she.

Secondly, there's not a f***ing chance

in hell he's ever coming back.

Where has he gone?

ln here,

where no goddamn voices or feelings

or anything else can get at him.

Why would he do that?

You felt it the second you arrived.

lt's the burden of being real,

mortal.

They didn't tell us, Gabe,

what it would be like.

They didn't tell us

how f***ing hard it would be.

lf you're Uriel, then why can't l feel you?

Because l've learned ways to

silence myself.

Then you've turned your back on the order.

You've betrayed your oath.

Well, l am only human, after all.

You are an Arc and a servant of the light...

Put into human form

to walk amongst the living, l know.

Have you ever felt fear, Gabriel?

Because l do.

l feel it all the f***ing time.

l hate this place.

l hate myself.

And before l arrived,

l didn't even know what that feeling was.

You can't succumb to it.

You have felt the love and contentment

of a pure existence.

That is where you draw your strength.

And where's that? Can you see it?

All l see is a dead world, run by the Fallen.

And you know what?

These people seem to like it here.

They actually seem to enjoy this existence.

So, why should l fight it?

-Why should l die for them?

-Because they don't know any better.

lt is up to us to show them

that there is another way.

That it is worth fighting for.

l give you two weeks,

then we'll see what you say.

Now, how about you

get the f*** out of my face,

because, whilst you may be bound

by rules, l am not.

You know the other great thing

they forget to tell you on the way down?

lf you die here as an Arc or a Fallen,

then you're dead forever.

Even the soul dies. And l ain't risking that.

Neither should you.

This place is surrounded by darkness.

The light has no way of knowing

what goes on down here.

You can't blame them.

There's one thing l forgot.

l'm sorry, Uriel. l had to do this.

l need you to show yourself.

Heal this wound.

F*** you.

Please, Uriel. Heal this wound.

You can't let this body die.

You swore an oath. Now, do it!

Uriel?

Watch the door.

They may be coming.

Pumps like blood through the veins

of this entire city.

You must be very proud.

lf only we could sleep.

You be here about the obeah.

l be thinking Molloch is dead.

lt seems they've sent another.

The presence we heard earlier

belonged to the Arc, Gabriel.

Thee be knowing all about these things.

With Michael gone, all their hopes

will now lay with our new friend.

Unfortunately for them,

Michael was always the stronger of the two.

Well, we all know what happened to him.

l still sense the new angel spirit

is strong in this place.

Which is why we will wait.

Let him fall prey

to the good nature of this city.

And if, in time,

he still has the will for a battle,
