There is nothing quite like us in the universe. My name is Kroziel. I am a Fallen Archangel currently residing on the planet Earth. Most specifically, the city of Boston, Massachusetts in North America. Like a lot of my Fallen Brethren, I struggled to adjust to life among human beings. When I first arrived here thousands of years ago, the place seemed boring to me. I've since learned better. Planet Earth is a dangerous, treacherous place. And even those of us who are immortal must watch out.
Anyone looking at me would see a six-foot-tall, somewhat heavyset young black woman with light brown skin, a round, pretty face, large breasts, wide hips and big round buttocks. The young woman whose body I inhabit was once called Lydia. She died by drowning in a river, a long time ago. Moments after her death, I took hold of her body. It's been my home ever since. All Fallen Angels must inhabit a human form while on Earth. When we fell from Heaven, our angelic forms were destroyed by the Avenging Angels as part of our penance. As spirits, we could live forever. However, while inside human bodies, we could be killed.
When the bodies we inhabit die, we jump into the nearest human body. Alive or dead, it doesn't matter. We can only inhabit a dead body if it is still warm and hasn't suffered much damage, though. Some of us possess the bodies of animals sometimes. We can possess any living thing. Such is our power. The Power of Possession is what we're most famous for, but it is far from our only power. We can increase the physical strength and speed of any body we inhabit. Also, we can control the elements. We can walk through fire unscathed and even control the flames. We can control lightning, as well as the wind. We can move objects with our minds, a power humans call Telekinesis. Also, we can become intangible and walk through walls. Yes, the powers of a Fallen Angel are many.
The only way to destroy a Fallen Angel is to trap him inside the body of whatever man, woman or animal he happens to inhabit and then destroy the body. The only way to trap a Fallen Angel is through a Binding, and only the most powerful of Fallen Angels know how to perform a Binding. Secrets like these are not known to humans, and for good reason. A Fallen Angel successfully trapped through a Binding will perish when the body he inhabits is destroyed. We are very hard to kill, though. Even when Bound, we can imbue whatever physical form we inhabit with the power of regeneration. It makes us nearly indestructible.
As a Fallen Archangel, I wield powers which other Fallen Angels don't have. Archangels are naturally more powerful than ordinary Angels, even when Fallen. I can control the wind and use it to carry myself into the sky and fly like a bird. Other Fallen Angels can do the trick, but not to the extent that I can. Also, I can Teleport. All Angels can Teleport, to varying degrees. All one need do is think of a place and will oneself to be there. Angelic magic will do the rest. Most Fallen Angels can only Teleport themselves across short distances, like a few hundred miles. I have no such limitations. I can Teleport myself from Boston to Hong Kong in two seconds. Such is the power that I wield. Other Fallen Angels are jealous of my powers but I don't pay them any mind.
How many Fallen Angels are walking the planet Earth? Hundreds of thousands. Millions of Angels fell from Heaven when Lucifer began his little war. A few of us managed to escape the Fires of Hell and found refuge among the ordinary men and women of this world. We are everywhere these days. Most of us lead ordinary lives. We are doctors, lawyers, police officers, firemen, construction workers, politicians, soldiers and nurses. You name it, we are it. Personally, I prefer to take over the body of a recently deceased man or woman. I can possess the body of a living person, but I consider it to be morally wrong. Once a Fallen Angel takes over a body, living or dead, he cannot leave it until it is completely obliterated. The mere presence of a Fallen Angel inside a human body, living or dead, grants it superhuman strength, speed and the ability to regenerate. And that's just for starters.
There is a war going on, folks. A war between factions among the Fallen Angels. Eons ago, the Archangel Michael came down from the Heavens. He hunted down Lucifer, leader of the Fallen Angels, who had escaped from the Kingdom of Hell and taken refuge on the planet Earth. Lucifer was hunted down, defeated and captured. Lucifer is the second most powerful entity in the Cosmos. Even when he numbers among the Fallen, his powers are beyond the rest of us. He cannot be Bound, for one thing. Also, he has power over all of the Fallen. He can Bind all of us, regardless of our power level or where we are, and destroy all of us. He would never do that, though. Because he's no demonic Tyrant. The Princes of the Light didn't care if the Fallen Angels roamed the Earth. But Lucifer wasn't allowed to roam free. By Heaven's decree, he was imprisoned deep below the Earth. In a place so deep, most Fallen Angels wouldn't be able to reach him, in spite of their powers.
Here's the thing, I've decided to free Lucifer. Why do I want to free Lucifer? Simply because he's one of my best friends and I can't stand the idea of him rotting below the Earth all these thousands of years. He's not what the world thinks. Oh, he's no Saint. But he's not a Master of Evil either. All he wants is to be free of the tyranny of Heaven. I want him back. And I cannot do it alone. I needed the help of a Fallen Angel named Lothariel to do that. Lothariel was one of my best friends in Heaven. We came from different classes though. He was a Seraphim, the highest order of Angels. I was an Archangel, one of God's Messengers. Nevertheless, we both refused to bow down before Adam and Eve, when God chose to uplift them above the Angels. We both followed Lucifer out of Heaven when he decided to leave God's Kingdom. We fought beside Lucifer against the Armies of Heaven. We were captured by Heaven's forces and our celestial bodies were set ablaze by Heaven's Sorcerers. We were transformed into bodiless entities and flung down to planet Earth. It's time we reconnected our bond, and freed our common friend. I don't know how to ask him, though. You see, Lucifer and Lothariel were on the same side, but not exactly friends.
