He'd tried not to stray too far, tried to make sure that Raphael would not change his mind and that nothing would go wrong, and yet Gabriel knew even before he'd reached the edge of the clearing, knew the instant he'd sensed Uriel's arrival, that it was too late.
For an instant, there was nothing but light in the clearing where the other angels stood, lucid and pure and almost too brilliant even for eyes that had seen Heaven.
For an instant, it was his Presence which was severed, his being which was rendered and torn and left suddenly bereft of everything he knew.
For an instant, the wind rushed past, the world shifted, and there was nothing that could stop it...
And then it was over, and the archangels stood, four auras pulsing bright with desperate fervor, perhaps one of the greatest gatherings of power in the cosmos.
Except that one of them was no longer an archangel.
