#blindednephilim

  ❝  fear not, little one. I have no interest in harming you, ❞   she didn’t share her brothers and sister’s distaste for nephilim; especially now, since she had a nephew who has half human and half archangel. back when she was loyal to heaven, she would’ve struck down the boy without a second thought. Many things about her have changed since then,  ❝  are you hurt? ❞

                 “ ‘ere mate, take these. ”

it had taken a lot of work to get the boy back to his flat, and out of the way of danger. but now he was there, Bobby had the worry off cold and hunger on his mind. 

       who knew how long the         kid had been out there on his own? 

                                               care was of the uptmost importance

                    a blanket was handed over, along with                     one of his bigger and woolier jumpers.                     that would cover at least one of the problems.                     the other was FOOD.

He used to think they were all monsters - nothing but abominations who better fit within the sinful creatures of Purgatory than the mortal realm of Eden. It might as well have been in the angelic Decalogue; thou shalt not lay with humanity and bear child, but many of his brothers and sisters had anyway. In the first years of creation, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of Nephilim walked the earth, the masterwork of what he once considered susceptible humans and weak-minded angels.  To fall in love with humanity was to Fall from grace. Castiel and his garrison had cut them down one by one. Their pleas had fallen on deaf ears throughout their crusade until no Nephilim were left on Eden and no angelic sire still had their wings. That had been thousands of years ago.  Now the Host knew better. Many garrisons were lost and replaced with new ones, but most learned quickly the repercussions of engaging with humanity. Castiel’s own garrison had greatly depleted over the several millennium and his battalion, once revered for their work to keep earth and Heaven hallowed, faded from the group mind and Nephilim became just another unfortunate point in His history that fledglings skimmed over in their teachings. Surely a few came into creation once in a few hundred years, but the sires had gotten crafty enough to hide themselves and their children from the Host. Most never came to the attention of Heaven. That’s why the seraph was alarmed with the current buzzing of his brothers and sisters. A Nephilim had been identified, age and their breadth of powers unknown. The last remnants of his garrison had been called upon to put down the threat. Thousands of years watching humanity had made the seraph wiser, some would say s o f t e r ; Castiel was unsure. The information coming in wasn’t incriminating. The creature was a child, with no known disasters contributed to his name. He was only noticed by a patrol who’d happened to pass him, and they even at first couldn’t tell what he’d been. But to disobey orders was also to Fall, an actual commandment in the angelic Decalogue. He’d do what he must.

                  it’s with a gasp that the daughter of athena pushes herself up from the ground,   feet stumbling to find the ability to run.   capture the flag hadn’t been this challenging in a long time  –  nobody said there were going to be cyclopes,   and darcy’s almost convinced they have a betrayal,   or some kind of miscommunication,   on their hands.   it HAS to be the one time she’s partnered with griffin,  too  ---  she’d wanted to ensure he was kept safe.
