The righteous men and women are to be spared the coming judgment by being given as slaves to the angels. Can relationships and friendships be made in this different world?
Introduction:
The morning after the Battle of Armageddon and the end of the Apocalypse was a Thursday. It was unseasonably warm and sulfuric for that time of year. A vile yellow haze hung on the horizon, and grey clouds blocked the sun.
It was a good day to be dead.
However, there were survivors. There are always survivors - some last vestiges of humanity clinging to life against all odds and better judgment. The major cities of the world were gone; billions living within gone. But those that lived in the country or small towns had a better chance of being spared. In fact, there were probably people hidden in the deep rainforests and jungles that had no idea that The War had even taken place. Their lives would continue as they had for thousands of years, uninterrupted now by any outsiders.
The forces of heaven declared it a victory.
Loss of human life meant little to them in the scheme of things. Their lives were dust in the wind; and weren’t they in a better place now?
Now that the battles were over, it was time to serve judgment. The angels had seven years on earth to gather all human they could find and rule and judge them. Humans captured would be forced into servitude and obedience. They would repair the earth they had helped destroy and recreate civilization from the bottom up. Once all the humans were gathered up, there would be a millennium of peace on earth.
However there were some unique individuals who had fought on the side of good -demon hunters, priests and pastors, prayer warriors, honest leaders of men that had helped win the war. Those that survived deserved reward.
For humans, who value free will above all else, their reward was a punishment. Each human who went above and beyond the call of good would be given in slavery to an angel who chose them. Of course, the angels did not call it slavery, but instead bonded protection. The angel would care for their every need and provide comfort and valuable work. They were given a place of honor.
This is the story of a few of those righteous men and women who were bonded to an angel.
