2024-10-29 19:42:56"Christ! What is that!" Gabriel exclaimed aloud, stepping a little closer to see for himself because where strange star landed was covered with white smoke he could not see anything. The closer he got, the clearer it became and before him stood the form of a man whose countenance was bright as though it were a light bulb.
«Come no further, Gab. Make no further approach towards me» A voice spoke from within the confines of the bright shining image of light, echoing in the wind like sound waves traveling in a medium of silence, full of resonance. The minute Gabriel removed his hands from his face which he covered due to the brightness of the star's countenance, he had a clearer view of the image in front of him and as astonished as anyone could be, he asked immediately, knowing it was an angel, based on it's appearance having wings.
"Wait a minute, wow! How did you know my name?" Gabriel shivered in surprise the second he heard his name mentioned.
The angel observed a minute silence before answering that. And when he did, he pointed out a few words that seems to be of interest to Gabriel.
«There is nothing hidden under the sun, Gab. Only to the natural are things unknown but not to the supernatural. I have known you since you where born. I have no much time to explain, I only came to deliver a message to you and to make you understand better that the earth is a battlefield and dominion is the only way via which peace can be established.»
The looks on Gabriel's face was troubling all of a sudden, and worry overtook his sense of reason, he could not help but ask,
"You mean to tell me that peace is to be established on earth and dominion is the only way? Have you descended from above to grant me my wish for peace of which I seek to this present day? Have you come to dominate earth?"
«It's not what you think, Gab. I have not come to establish dominion. This is not my sphere of influence but yours according to the supreme law of the maker and ruler of all things: the I AM.» The angel revealed.
"If you have not come to establish dominion, who then is going to do it and when are they going to arrive?" Gabriel asked full of uncertainty and with an obviously inquisitive stare at the angel in front of him who stood as though he halted and with arms wrapped around his chest.
«You are!» The angel declared.
"I... I don't understand... What do you mean, I am...?" Gabriel stuttered failing to articulate.
«Yes, you are going to do it, Gab. The earth has been left for you to exercise dominion over.»
"How can I dominate and reinforce peace? Do you even know how weak I am?" Gabriel asked in doubt.
The angel looked him in the eye with a glittering smile on his face...
«Will you be able to accept responsibility and to take up a fight against what is coming? I came because there is a willing heart ready to end all wars and you have been chosen, Gabriel»
There he goes again, causing his forehead to wrinkle in expressions of the worrisome thoughts in his heart for what was being said to him,
"What war do you speak of? And chosen for what?" Gabriel asked with eyes full of desperation.
«Will you be able to accept the responsibilities, Gabriel? It is going to be one hell of a ride, but you will have celestial support»
"I will!" He passionately accepted.
He accepted not because he was in need of dominating anybody, but that he has been promised angelic support. He felt, ...this is it! Now I'm going to have angels help me in my neighborhood against the gangs troubling me and my friends... He thought in that manner because his rivals have got robots with which they use to threaten him and his friends whenever their is a clash between them. Aside that, there has been robbery, nighttime killings and daylight molestation going on in the state of California which has been a major concern to the government as aired live on the news channels and to the citizens as well, of which he is very much aware of. He so wanted to live in a better world — a peaceful habitation.
When the angel perceived that Gabriel was not grasping the full message of what he was really referring to in essence, he decided to elaborate further to ensure he was really willing to take up responsibility.
«The war of the end of ages and there are going to be some friends like you, friends you must find and unite yourself with. You will defend this earth from the invaders. Your rivals shall possess men by day to usurp authority and by night they shall resurface as demon creatures, many people may suppose they are aliens, but I am preinforming you before time to know that they will invade earth to kill and end lives: a system of destruction. Only you can resist them now. Earth has been given to you to dominate and I can not break ranks because I have been constrained to attend to heavenly matters. It's up to you to not fail your world.»
The angel believed he has passed the full message to him and was not expecting Gabriel to fully understand every at once. After a moment of watching Gabriel think, trying to comprehend all that has been said, the angel of light took off from the terrestrial with it's large wings, however, Gabriel cried, saying,
"Wait, you have not given me any abilities yet!"
Being suspended in the clouds, the angel looked down once more at Gabriel, and proclaimed with a loud voice, saying,
«Search inwards, it's in you, Gab! You already know how to summon me when you need me!»
"Wait! How?" Gabriel yelled, but it was too late now: the star was gone like an arrow fired into the heavens with a speed of light and it was up to him to take up responsibility. Gabriel slightly staggered, stepping backwards, he sat on the underlaying rock fragment again and after bowing his head down to reflect on every word and on what he just saw, he lifted his head to see that everything was back to normal again. The grasses and a few tree crops afar off where his car was parked, all appeared again as though nothing happened.
...wait, did I just have myself go through a portal of the supernatural?... He asked himself as he again looked at the palm of his hands which felt stronger than usual. He looked at his wrist watch and quickly arose on his feet, running back to his car to go tell someone about what he saw. When he entered the steering wheel, he checked the time again and to his amazement, it took him one minute to get to where his car was parked which literally took him this twenty minutes away from it, prior.

"O my goodness, this is not happening... Is this really happening? It can't be! O my gosh!" Gabriel mumbled as he drove off immediately on high speed heading back home to Briston street in Hanford. [Screeching sounds] "Why the f*ck is he driving roughly?" A friend of his asked the rest of them in the group when they saw him riding back home recklessly. "If you ask me, I don't know, Shelley. C'mon, guys, let's go check on our dude, know if he's alright. He doesn't seem okay." The leader of the group replied, dipping his hands in his hood pocket as he led the way. "You're right, Lancelot." Freeman added as all six of them walked towards Gabriel's compound who had already gone inside the house the minute he parked the car upon arrival. "Gabriel! We know you're in there. C'mon, open up!" Lancelot yelled authoritatively after banging on the door for three minutes to no avail. "He should have responded by now." Bell said.

“Gabriel! Are you alright?” Mr. Winston Gray asked the minute he heard his son scream. “I’m alright! I’m okay, dad.” Gabriel replied audibly on hearing his dad’s voice echo from all the way down… Winston Gray wondered why his son has been acting strange for the past three days now, though he seldom spend much time with him because he felt the teenager was matured enough to look after himself. “I hope you are, Gabriel! Hey, I am on my way to work already. I made oat for you already and have toasted your bread in the kitchen; you can have breakfast whenever you feel hungry…” Winston kept muttering until he saw Gabriel walking down the stairs to meet him with a bright smile filled with ecstasy. “Morning, Dad.” Gabriel greeted. The melody in his voice made his dad smile back at him and wondered why he was that aglow facially. It’s been a long time he saw Gabriel so happy, he quickly asked,“Morning, Gab. You look happy, is there something you need to be telling me right now?” Winston

Mr. Wyman had trained about seven students but none of them really wanted to learn than Gabriel who never even had to enroll in the lessons: they were all after the certificate from Wyman's company. "Yes, uncle Wyman. Good morning. I came to see you for something very urgent and important." Gabriel started talking before Mr. Wyman embraced him. "What is it? You look troubled, I can tell." He examined Gabriel immediately after embracing him, whilst his hands was still on his nephew's shoulders. "I need you to tell me what to do to stop the spark I normally experience whenever I am abo

Gabriel was all alone in the basement and though he was really tired at first, yet the excitement to see to Optimus creation, made him stay awake, working tirelessly and deploying all necessary steps as he has been taught by his uncle, Wyman, to see that Optimus exist.

"Shhh... Follow me closely, let's go check it out." Gabriel uttered in a hurry and led the way as they climbed up the stairs that leads to the passage that is inside the house, and when they entered the sitting room, they opened the window curtains slowly and peeped through to see for themselves but the noise of the gunshots seems to have travelled far from the vicinity. Gabriel closed the curtain and stared right into her eyes — she had a dark brown almond shaped eyes which was a perfect match for her straight nose and round lips. Her side-swept long bangs also made her soft-angled eyebrows speak of a beautiful beyond description. And as she stared back, she was persuaded to believe that he was not afraid and that she was going to be safe with him. She admired his well trimmed beards which made his pointed roman-like nose much cute than when she last saw it, but she never seem to take her eyes off his thin lips, though his charming close set eyes were enough to make her love him mor

The head of Optimus had a spherical shape but it's face mask looks rectangular, coupled with ears made of steel but these have internal antennas having multiple functions according to Gabriel's already installed program. The ears were pointed backwards like that of a fairy and the entire parts of its body patterned like a man but robotically cylindrical at the abdomen, hexagonally prismal along its arms and legs, having a resemblance like diamond on its chest region with each part linking to another of apparent length as a humans body could be.

"You now look happy and I could feel you are a very friendly person, Madison." Optimus declared. She kind of halted and turned to look at Optimus the moment she heard him mention her name on her way up the stairs. "Wait! Gabriel, did Optimus just learn to mention my name or you programed it that way?" She was obviously surprised... Gabriel's reply was without hesitation, "No, I didn't. But I believe he is configured in a way that makes it prone to learning successfully as any human." Optimus did not hear her because she was right in front of Gabriel and Optimus was way down and about to begin climbing up the stairs because it was analyzing and contemplating on how to get its foot started on the stairs: invariably, Optimus was learning everything like a child and observing everything carefully to know how to approach life.

"Very well then, may I also ask, this person who is high above your reach and mine, how do you explain to us that you have any form of relationship with this person resulting in the release of such huge sum of money. How did you get to know this person? Or is it some kind of secret you want to keep from us you decided to use such words?" Mrs Finn asked with a curious look around her eyes. "About that, I would rather keep it classified for now. Or is there any consequences?" Gabriel asked with some kind of suspicious facial expressions and she immediately never wanted him to start having doubts about them because she felt she was going too far beyond her boundaries she had to respond as quickly as possible,"No, not that there are any, but then, we would have loved to know.

She stared right into his eyes as though she was in doubt and then requested... "Any means of identity please?" She asked and immediately put forth her right hand as he reacted with gestures that shows he has something. Gabriel touched both sides of his trouser pockets trying to figure out where he kept his ID card... "There it is. Here!" Gabriel half exclaimed with a smile on his face the minute he took it out of his left pocket and handed it over to her. No doubts she wanted to be sure he was the one because they all knew the guy they were expecting is a special client, they don't want to be talking to a third-party but to the right person, seeing they were going to be revealing sensitive information to him.

...what the heck is happening to me, how did I make it disappear? Am I in control of this thing?... He muttered to himself as he kept observing his body for he was only putting on a trouser at this point in time and was yet to take his bath. Whilst he was muttering, he thought of himself having wings and all of a sudden, Vlooop!! The wings popped up again and he was like,"Wow!" This time, he was a bit excited though scared of having something of that nature change his appearance and making him look angelic... As he stared at the wings through the mirror, he kept wondering how possible that is, that he now possess's wings... While he admired it, he soon imagined not having wings at all and instantly, he watched as the wings shrunk and vanished again. He felt the difference in strength, because he could feel he has so much energy when the wings was there, compared to his normal self when the wings was gone. [Deep breath... Exhales...] He quickly imagined himself having those wings

Winston Gray immediately responded, running up the stairs and wondering what was happening to his son, but the minute he opened the door, the wings which were cleaved to the skin at Gabriels back, disappeared instantly, as if they were folded right into the skin of his dorsal. "What is it, Gabriel?" His dad asked as quickly as he could. "Can't you see?..." Gabriel asked his dad and immediately touched his left dorsum with his right hand, and wondering why he could not feel the wings at his back, he turned around immediately to look himself in the mirror to his greatest surprise, there were no wings anymore. "See what, Gab? I heard you yell." Mr. Winston Gray asked again, having this inquisitive facial expression... "It was right here, there was... I had wings dad...
