never to be seen or spoken of as was the rule.

She sighed as she walked out on to her balcony she thought about her life she has been alive much longer than any another angel she was alive when the first earth was still being created. She knew the origins of the universe and the history of angels better than anyone as she was the one who had first began the records and recorded time. However she was tired of life, and angel should never been able to get tired so she didn't understand was this due to her heart and how much she has been through. She sighed.

At this point her name is Alexia, she often used to change her name as she had never been given a proper name. So she picked hers out herself. Angels when they are created go through a naming ceremony in which there name is picked out depending on their ancestors and so on. It was the most revered ceremony of the angels as your name shown what type of angel you were. She was never allowed to go through this ceremony she had asked before why she wasn't allowed but god never answered and she just assumed that it was because she wasn't supposed to exist.

She sat on the railing and looked down at the New Year’s celebrations going on beneath her, this was to celebrate the start of a new angel year and consisted with a century. This celebration brought together all of the peaceful souls from the century to share the achievements of the century. This lasted for almost ten human years and the only angels in operation at that time were the Special Operations Squad. In which she belonged.

She closed her eyes. Eyes which she was looked down on for she had deep blue eyes. An almost human colour. Angels usually had purple or yellow eyes, she had never understood why she found the human eye colours much more beautiful but she wasn't going to argue with god’s choice. Angels surprisingly looked down at humans and saw them as lesser. Alexia believed this was likely due to them constantly looking down from the heavens. Only a few angels actually viewed humans unprejudiced and surprisingly most of them belonged to the SpecOps.

A bright light appeared in front of her she opened her eyes. It was a shining ball of light but she knew exactly what it was. A smile appeared on her face as she touched it a message appeared in front of her. It was a summons by Virtue the head of SpecOps telling her she needed to come to the headquarters. She laughed he was always so formal it when it came to work. She slipped off the balcony letting her long blonde hair blow in the wind as she hurried into her room.

She stopped to look at herself in the mirror she grimaced. She was still wearing her white dress, and her wings were still out. She put her hand to the mirror she looked extraordinarily beautiful that wasn't just her being cocky she was. She stood back and concentrated on bringing her wings in unlike other angels the size of her wings didn't represent her strength and power her wings were the right size for her. They looked just big enough to carry her weight. Her wings were an example of the fact size doesn't matter. She however was extremely powerful she was more powerful than the other angels and if her power was shown through her wings they would be stupidly massive so she limited the size or it could be a catastrophe if she let all her power out at once.

She chucked off her dress and chucked on some jeans and a smart shirt, she hated dresses with a passion but the other angels made a massive fuss if she wore trousers or jeans as that's what they wore and she wasn't allowed to be like them as she was an imperfection in their eyes. She smirked they were all down at the celebrations apart from the SpecOps which couldn't care less.  But she was wary she knew in her heart something wasn't right but she couldn't place a finger on it.

She slipped down the corridor silently, the corridors of God's Palace were all a white marble material, she had never understood God's obsession with marble but she didn't mind it was just blinding at times the reflective ability of the marble. Luckily the bedrooms weren't marble otherwise she would have probably torn her room down by now. She turned several corners before reaching a set of double oak doors the last door on the second to top corridor. She took a breath and walked through them.

The dark light hit her and it took several seconds for her eyes to adjust to the dim light she could see barely anything. She was just about to switch the lights on when her eyes saw a dark shadow in the chair in the corner. She knew who it was without needing to turn the lights on.

“Another one of your pranks Raphael?”  She said in a loud tone as she flipped the lights on. She heard a chuckle.

“Aww you saw through it” He looked at her with his dark violet eyes. “You’re finally here then, what took your time the message was sent a while ago?” She searched his eyes and sighed.

“I was on earth purifying a lecherous soul, and if I remember correctly that was your job today” Raphael sat up from the chair and gave a mischievous smile.

“Oh you took that, I was busy you know paperwork, document and such” She smiled at his blatant lie and glided past Raphael with such swiftness he didn't notice until she had picked up what he was reading.

“So this is important paperwork huh? Care to explain Raph?” She spoke in a sincere tone. He looked worried and was in the middle of making up some lame excuse when she burst out laughing.

“You should have seen your face it was a picture!” He looked shocked and then he smiled as she continued “But seriously next time it's on your head I almost didn't get there in time you know” He lowered his head and mumbled and apology. With the book still in her hand she read over the front cover.

“Bleach huh? What's this one about?” Raphael’s eyes lit up like a flame as he smiled.

“Well seen as though you’re interested it's about soul reapers and monsters called Hollows and what not” she smiled as she handed him back the book.

“Sounds just like you, just don't let Virtue catch you reading them when you’re supposed to be on duty” he nodded and returned to his seat setting the book down onto the table. She never could understand his obsession with these human manga books, but that's what made him different she thought. She was just about to ask where the other were when an angel walked in, Cassiel. He looked middle-aged and wore glasses even know angels had perfect vision ‘does he think they looked cool?' she thought as he spoke up.

“God needs to speak to us get a move on the others are already waiting” He said as he walked off towards the corridor at the back of the room. At this Raphael and Alexia both looked at each other and smiled. This meant a special mission it always did. They caught up to the others who stood waiting at the Door of God. They were massive carved black oak doors in which behind was the only room in which god ever met angels, and the only way to get to this room was through the SpecOps headquarters  which was one of the reasons the other angels looked at them with respect and jealousy.

They stood in a line with Alexia in the middle waiting expectedly for the doors to creak open. When they did the angels all entered in unison forming a V type shape behind Alexia who was technically the leader of SpecOps but Virtue preferred to take over that job. Not that she minded it was too much effort and she enjoyed her freedom as much as she could get.

As the angels entered the chamber the doors closed behind them with a thud which echoed around the silent room. None of the angels now looked surprised as they entered the room which was surprising considering how extravagant the chamber was. It looked as if it went on forever which it didn't of course but it was still several miles wide in each direction. The walls where covered in a carved image depicting the history of angels put there by Alexia herself although she appeared in none of it she was constantly updating it but she didn't mind it kept her busy.

Running down the centre of the room were giant black and white marbled columns running in several rows down the entirety of the room. As the angels reached the centre of the room there was an immaculately carved white crystal throne with several black marble steps running up to it. They looked like a sort of red carpet although it was black marble but this was God and his obsession with marble. The throne was etched in a massive amount of detail the angels all lined up in front of it. Waiting in silence for God to appear before them and tell them of their mission

The angels stood with Alexia in the middle to the right was Raphael and to the right of him was Cassiel who was the angel that came to get them earlier. He was the youngest of the angels in SpecOps although he is often considered one of the oldest due to his middle-aged look. He just liked to be better than everyone else so others looked up to him but still remained with an aspect of solitude around him no surprise really. He was the archangel of solitude after all.

To the left of Alexia was Raziel, who was the only family Alexia had. He was her brother so to speak, he was created from her when god decided she needed someone there for her. For this reason he had the same feature as her, he had her blonde hair and blue eyes.  He always had a way to hide what he was feeling or thinking, the air of mystery he told her once. He was the archangel of secrets and mystery which couldn't help but make her think if that had anything due to the fact that she was such a mystery and he was made from her.

The last angel the one next to Raziel was Virtue the leader so to speak of SpecOps. He was a third generation angel and the second oldest angel if you discount all the second and third generation angels who have died already. He had red hair and bright purple eyes which were always unwavering and empty Alexia thought. His wings were still currently silver due to an accident with paint down on earth, he's often made fun of by other angels but he doesn't wash of the paint Alexia suspected that it was maybe because he liked to be different. Unlike other angels he had no special power so to speak he was just tasked with putting angels into hierarchy’s which is why he is also a quite hated angel as he holds all the power over the angels, he is technically the most powerful angel under god in that aspect.

She was almost getting tired of waiting as the room filled with the purest light imaginable the angels all shielded their eyes with their hands until the light had dulled down. This was due to the blinding ability of the light. When they returned their hands to their side they looked up and saw God, there was never a way to describe God. He changed face depending on how you view him and think of
