Dominion

Warning

**Rosé's POV**

I've wandered the earth ever since the first man and woman were banished from the gardens of Eden. I've watched them and their children fall and witnessed them rise up. All through it, man is still distant from God. 

I have provided them with The Book to guide them back home and so that they can better understand Him.  But as time pass and man become innovative with their continues intelligence development, they still don't understand the purpose God had given them. Some had strayed from the right path especially when they learned the value of money. 

But emotions play the biggest part in human lives. 

I've felt these emotions as I was made human, but I was the only one gifted with agelessness. It was a punishment but my time here made me realize how emotions and free will coincide when man is faced with a decision to make. 

The first emotion I felt was regret for since my punishment, I never heard His voice again. I could never be near his throne again and most of all, I have never felt his divine presence again. However, I'm still grateful for the fact that I was cast down on earth and not in hell. 

I've been to different places as man is naturally curious for feats that not everyone has. Immortality had always been one of the human desires and I've traveled the world just to hide this gift. But despite the immortality, I am as fragile as a human can be.

I was known as Raziel, the Keeper of Secrets. 

Through my years, I've met people who were willing to shelter me and hide the fact that immortality exists. These people had given me the possessions that in time grew in value until I became a person of authority of a multinational company.

Now, I go by the name of Rosé.

But after I've met His messenger, Gabriel, I learned that I had a greater purpose. Given the reward of attaining divinity if I succeeded in the mission, the greater reward would be delivering man's soul from damnation. 

God's creation should be with God even at the end of man's life. It is why I gave The Book to the first man.

It's been six years since I was given the mission but I have yet to find the boy. 

He's already six by now and I've wasted years searching for him. He may be the key to the destruction, the apocalypse. But he's also the way to salvation. 

Regardless if he's chosen by the devil, a child needs someone to nurture him so if this chosen one is left under the hands of evil, he will grow up evil.

I was walking my way around a block at the Upper East Side in New York when I felt an inhuman presence - a divinity.

I turned at the dark alley for it continues to follow me as I continue to stride along the side of the main street. Despite being human, I still feel presences that even those who are gifted couldn't feel. 

I then stopped in my tracks, closing my eyes to identify who this divinity is. I controlled my breathing as I feel my surrounding while the cool, gentle breeze blew softly. Then, a single droplet of water resounded loudly at the back of my head, tingling my senses as I recognized the presence. 

"Show yourself, Gabriel," I ordered. 

The gentle breeze then suddenly gushed in circles around me before a figure materializes in front of me. Speck of lights surrounds him before he revealed his whole form, not as the archangel prepared for battle, but hiding his divinity in a mundane form of a human with a long trench coat, but somehow forgotten to hide his wings.

"What do you want from me?" I asked. 

He then walks towards me, dragging the ends of his large wings on the ground while his beautiful cerulean orbs pierce through me. 

"You haven't found the boy, Raziel." He said, deep voice grumbling. He stopped and towered in front of me.

"I've yet to gather information. There are several boys that belong to powerful families who were born that same year. It's hard to infiltrate their personnel just to check if the boy in question bears the mark."

"It's been six years since I delivered the mission to you from our Father. The boy ages as time pass, and without your guidance, he may take the path of evil." He retorted with a warning. 

"I'm aware of that," I replied with a sigh.

"I fear for your success in this mission, Raziel. It'll be your only chance to take your position back with the rest of us." He muttered.

"My position doesn't matter if the rest of the world falls in the hands of evil." I retorted. 

He then sighs as a smile broke at the side of his lips, "As always, you're too caring with His creations. Even if humanity was given The Book, most of them still strayed from the path of God. The disobedient and the sinful should be punished as it should be." 

"Yet our Father had given His children the chance for salvation yet again. We and all of humanity are His children. Our destination should be decided at the end of the life we're living and the choices we made, not with sudden destruction made by the devil." I retorted.

"Lucifer wants to make his point." He replied.

Of course, he wanted to be above God so if he can't be in heaven to do that, he would take dominion of his creation. 

"Are you here just to tell me this or are you gonna help me?" I asked, looking up at him.

"You have no time to waste anymore, Raziel. Aside from divine forces, humans also knew of the prophecy and they fear to lose their time here on earth. They thought killing the boy would cease the fulfillment of the prophecy. Go to London. The boy is the son of a very powerful person of authority but there are assassins sent to kill him. Take him to your care or you will fail the mission." He stated.

My brows furrowed tightly with the thought that humans would want to take the matter of the apocalypse in their own hands.
