PaD #173
I think I'm gonna try these Prompt a Day things. First one that interested me sort of reminded me of Ammiel. I'm not gonna post it in the PaD community cuz I am too shy about my writing AND this is a bit too long, probably. But, anyway...

Prompt: "Finally I realized I am too different."
Finally I realized I am too different. I told everyone I really just wanted to be down there, with the people I was made for. Honestly, though, I just felt like I didn't belong with them. True, they were and still are my family and I love them dearly but we were made to be so different.
I was 17 at the time.
In human years, that is almost an adult. For my kind, that is little more than a toddler.
My cheeks were much rounder than they are now and I hadn't yet begun to dread my hair. To the human eye, I would look to be a teenager. But, my cousins, they could take one look at me and know how young I was.
It wasn't my age that made me different. No one is born old. My difference lay in my birth. My cousins were made from a single person, for a single person, to love and defend that person until the life drains from them. I was made by my Mother and Father, to care for any poor soul who might need caring for. I did not have One Person to love. I had all people to love. And that was something my cousins couldn't understand.
I felt an incredible sadness leaving my Mother and Father. My father...My father is one of the great forces in my life. He always has been, even back then. My mother is a friend to me. But my father has always been a clear thinker and a solid wall for me to cling to. Although my mother was the one that first suggested I leave for the human world, my mother suggested it more on a whim. My father was the one who turned that whim into a solid possibility. He showed me how to make a body and taught me things normal humans would have to know - such as finding work, renting an apartment, buying groceries.
My father was the one that taught me from the very beginning. I remember my first day like it was this very day. My father held me close and taught me what it was to be a Guardian. He helped me learn how to move my spirit between worlds. Even when I would make a mistake or say something stupid, those kind eyes of his kept right on teaching me. They taught me mistakes are natural, normal and right.
I felt such heavy sadness in my heart when I had to leave him. But, I knew Earth held better things for me.
And I was right.
From the moment I touched my naked feet to the plush green grass, I knew I was at home like I never had been before. The warm wind blowing through my hair, the sunlight on my skin - Earth was a world full of new kinds of pleasures. Putting clothes on was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. To this day, I wear nothing that won't let the beautiful sun through to my body or won't be played with whimsically in the breeze.
And I am happy. Earth is my home. I am no longer so different.

This BORDERLINES between actual backstory for Ami and OOC-ness. While the relationships and feelings described are pretty accurate, Ami was never part of Heaven. He's always been Earth bound. I actually sort of played with the idea of changing that while writing this BUT, it wouldn't make as much sense to me. SO, this is purely fun fiction and has nothing to do with Ami's actual backstory ^^;;
