Blessing

There are two ways an Angel is born, first there is matting just like many any other races, and then there’s spawning as the originals did. After God created the universe he created a fountain in Heaven, the “Fountain of Light”.

In this fountain all the positive energy leaked by the many worlds in the universe gathered and eventually when enough amount was obtained an Angel was born.

There are three main differences between mother born and fountain born, the first one is that the MB come to the world as babies and follow a normal growth process, while the FB are spawned with the body of an average 10 years old Angel. God made it that way because he thought it would be bothersome to take care of thousands of babies when the originals were born.

The second one is conscience and innate soul energy; the babies are in all effects babies, small, noisy, and have small week souls. While Fountain Angels are born with a developed consciousness and high amount of soul energy as a result of the refinement of the energy gathered which gave them birth.

The last one is family and friends, it’s quite obvious that a Fountain Angel doesn’t have parents and since the body is that of a 10 year old kid it’s hard to make friends since the other kids had years of advantage to meet and form groups. In the beginning this wasn’t a problem since in average a Fountain Angel was born every a couple of days or at most weeks but as time went on this decreased and nowadays it only happens once every a century or so.

My name is Zenith and I’m one of the youngest Fountain Angels in Heaven. After I was born, as it is the tradition, together with all the other 10 year old kids we were sent to the Angels academy where I spent the next 90 years learning about universe, its many races and our role as Angels.

This story actually starts when I was taking the final exam to graduate and be finally free of school, it was the hardest and final task “Blessing”.

Heavens usually are forbidden from interfering with the mortal world except for one thing Blessings, to help the universe prosper an Angel can obtain permission from God to Bless an individual. The individual is analyzed and if is found worth then a Blessing is approved.

There are many levels of Blessings: Basic, Average, High, Advanced, Epic, and Heroic, while Basic Blessings such as increase in intelligence or strength are a granted quite frequently, something like Heroic Blessings are granted under unique circumstances and since the origin of the universe only two individuals were granted this kind of Blessings.

Not only a huge amount of energy, but also many Archangels have to participate and usually it comes with consequences. The two occurrences where required during the two big wars with Hell, stories for another time.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

Back to the exam, four Angles were taking the test and we were supposed to grant a simple Basic Blessing, an increase in sight or strength would do to pass.

Each of us was standing in front of a Blessing Crystal, an artifact with the shape if a crystal ball which allows the user to navigate through the many worlds and grant a Blessing to a selected individual.

I was randomly moving from one world to another searching for a random someone to Bless when I saw her.

In a world called Treim I was watching the Elven villages when I found one undergoing a Demon attack, the village was on fire and the few remaining Elves were running for their lives.

Among them a small Elf was crying in front of the bodies of her parents. She looked young, around 7 or 8 decades old, green hair, petite body, and pretty almond eyes currently clouded by tears.

The Demons, big black wolfs weren’t paying attention to her and instead were hunting the fleeing Elves.

Demons attacks are something common in many worlds, contrary to us they are born from Dark energy and come into existence in many shapes. Though it wasn’t something I hadn’t seen before during classes for some reason I couldn’t take my eyes out of her and without knowing I started pouring my energy into the Crystal.

It wasn’t until the Wolves run out of prey that they realized there was a small elf still alive. They surrounded her and were about to attack when I felt it –desperation-, I felt I had to something, anything I could do to help her.

My thoughts at that moment were to make her stronger and faster than the Demons to give her anything to help her escape and survive, give her two Basic Blessings instead of one but before I realized it I had already poured all of my energy into the Crystal.

At that moment a bright light engulfed the Elf and the Wolves around her vaporized, the Crystal I was using cracked before exploding and my sight went black.

It was a week later when I woke up in the infirmary that I found out I had caused a commotion in heaven by granting her an Epic Blessing and in the process almost killed myself.

What I didn’t know at that moment was that this would be the beginning of our tale.
