At the fortress, just before joining the others, Mat and Sam encountered an angel. Mat told Sam to go on without him, as he wanted to talk to the angel.

"So... You’re an angel, right?"

"Yeah (?)." The creature responded. Its voice wasn’t disturbing; it sounded quite human and calm. "Well, something like that. Similar."

Its appearance was somewhat peculiar. It had a huge eye in the center, several arms around it, and six wings.

"Huh? So... Well, I wanted to ask if I’m still considered God’s chosen one, the Hero..."

A clicking sound came from inside the angel.

"You still are."

"But... Why?"

"I understand why you’re asking that question; I know what you’ve done. But... I can’t answer you because I don’t know the reason. The plans of the Almighty are quite confusing."

"I see... Well, thanks anyway."

"You’re welcome."

Mat continued on his way.
