An idealistic angel
Timeline: Season 5, Fallen Angel
Topic: What is good and what is evil?
This is our simple, yet wonderfully perfect home.
We are humble servants of the light. We are what is good. We are angels, guardians of the heavens; we are the pure, the kind, the beautiful. We are the protectors against all things dark, fearful and ugly.
I know this, without knowing how I know it. I simply do, like the way I just know what love feels like.
Still...
Between moments of grace and prayer, sometimes I think of Gabrielle. I think of her words, and her eyes when she spoke them.
I know that Gabrielle is good. I have seen her heart, with its sweet kindness and love, glowing like a little sun. I know that Xena is also good, for though her heart has cracks like a shattered piece of glass, it holds itself together with a strength of spirit and devotion that earns even Michael's admiration.
So how can they hate me so? How can my name evoke such dark anger in both of them?
I just cannot understand it. Am I not as good as they are? Pride is a sin, but I have been blessed with the purity of an archangel, so how can I be anything else?
There may have been things I'd done back when I was on the mortal plain, but I cannot ask forgiveness for things I cannot even remember doing, let alone understand doing.
Our Lord is forgiveness incarnate; forgiveness is that which is good.
They below feed off hatred; hatred is that which is evil.
The good cannot invoke the evil; such things would turn our world upside down. And I am good, and I know this as every waking second I have is spent in prayer, so how could I possibly have initiated evil back in the world? And how can Gabrielle and Xena, who have fought in heaven's name and borne her burdens, possibly be able to hate so strongly?
Though flooded with questions, I go on with complete faith in our Lord, for He made the world what it is, and He alone knows what the rules are.
