because of the green skies

His earliest memory ever glides over him like silk. Soothing his pain and bringing him peace. Just before the sky was torn apart, the first time when his skin met the earthly cold. When he lived in a realm untouched by time. Where only kindness could float over the spirit soaked in an emerald glow. In this far memory, he heard whispers of his first mother.

Just angels and demons playing chess over humanity’s dreams,

you can call it life, my son.

Said love to the baby in her arms.

You have so much yet to learn, my treasure.

But I, your mother will keep you warm, until the balance in you will free us.

When all the games will end.

Green eyes turn gently to a being beside her.

Angel Gabriel, take him and guide him from the darkness. If ever it polluted him beyond his human strength, bring him back to me. I will help him embrace the good and heaven in him. My all-knowing airborne. I hand him to you in unbreakable faith. Wrap your wings around his little body and always tell him of the force that will help him survive. The guardians of fire, water, wind, and earth. But don’t let him forget, about the forces that mean him harm. Protect him with every measure possible. My heart shall follow your mundane path... I am always with you, my son. You are forever loved.

The baby is put into different but just as kind arms. Light radiates from the little body and covers everything in sight. The mission begins. Now it’s all up to him.
