Time had stopped. The boy was dead. A shining spirit disappeared in the depths of the sea. A thousand angels commanded by Gabriel were in front of double amount of demons commanded by a prince that was given authority over wind.
It's not hidden that there are three heavens. The first one is known as "The Sky", which is ruled by thousands of Princes, one per city, and they also command millions of demons over the world. Earth it's a physical realm created from a Spiritual one. And Spiritual beings living on a physical realm had to look for a place as close to the Third Heaven to stablish their Domain.
The authority given to each prince would depend entirety of the city´s population and the sins of each of them. When one third of the angels turned their back to God in the Third Heaven, they were sent to earth, but they decided to stablish their Kingdom in the Sky. When this happened, one of the biggest Fallen Angels claimed the Power of the Air. It´s this authority who gave power to prince Waverus. He received a sword made of a thunder surrounded by a tornado, and he had used it for the last time 400 years ago causing the destruction of the city.
Gabriel was calm, and prince Waverus decided to strike first with the big sword, all his demons disappeared from the sky, partially because they were afraid of the damage the sword would make. They started shaking the wind in a way that a violent turbulent environment could be felt in the sky, some of them moved to the sea and started shaking the water creating waves that threaten the lives of any creature swimming around. They couldn't noticed, but time was changing with every single of their actions. At this time, fishermen were losing their nets, due to the actions of these demons.
Angels remain calm contemplating how Gabriel was standing still. Normally, angels would be commanded by a Leader of a Legion, but now they where here with one of the most powerful angels in heaven. One that would be the leader of thousands.
When Waverus moved his sword, death could be felt everywhere around. The earth was shaking and clouds were forming multiple whirlpools of destruction in the sea and the sky.
Angels couldn't stay in their places, they were being shaken with violence constantly and they had to be scattered. It took only the movement on this sword for Ab-El to struggle in the sea for 30 minutes, everything that happened to him, was something that meant to happened in the sky out of time.
When finally the sword was reaching the head of Gabriel, fire starting from his eyes completely surrounded his body and extended around him as a big burst and consumed the power coming from the sword. Immediately, the sword was being surrounded by fire. Waverus didn't believe what was happening, before the fire could get to his arm, he immediately deactivated the sword, and made it disappear. Demons and angels stopped what they were doing and stared at both Prince Waverus and the mighty Archangel Gabriel. Was Gabriel this strong? The truth is, Gabriel didn't do anything, he didn't attack, he didn't have to move a finger.
"What just happened!? You disobeyed God and attacked me!!"
"You already know it wasn't me. The sword operates with disobedience and if I would have attacked you, I would have taken a direct hit from the sword. After all, that's the name of the sword, "The Sword of Disobedience", and you have been its owner for 500 years, you know it can't stand in front of me".
"What do you mean?"
"You know I was given the "Ruby of Fire" and it gets activated against any evil sin. God is fire, this is why he created hell out of fire for you and your master, because you hate being surrounded by God. You were smart at deactivating the sword. You could have been sent to Hell along with your army. That would have been a good end to this fight".
"I'm not naive to fall on one of your tricks, after all, you are one of the favorites".
"God has no favorites, but if you mean, I have had a purpose since I woke up, you're right. We all have a purpose though, even YOU were given a purpose today"
At this moment, Ab-El felt how waves stopped. This was the moment of piece that he experienced. He was just half way before dying.
"If I can't attack with my sword, and you can't attack at all, I'll use my advantage and attack your angels".
The army of demons started attacking the angels with their swords and spears. Angels were only holding with their shields. Demons started using the wind once again, and thanks to the commanding orders from Waverus, they were able to work together forming the same calamity that the sword could create early. Angels couldn't remain still and they were being hurt by the attacks of the demons, until a point where their shields of faith were being destroyed almost entirely.
They knew God was not going to intervene in this fight, and they were in a domain where Waverus had full authority. The fact of Gabriel being there didn't really mean anything if he couldn't move a finger against the enemy, as he was commanded to only witness what was going to happen. This is where, like a Deja Vu, they all stared at Gabriel. He was looking at the boy drowning. And Waverus asked Gabriel "Why did you come here? Did you come to rescue him? That insignificant human?!
Everyone in the Sky, including angels or demons couldn't believe what was happening. They were living the same scene prior to the kid dying. They were about to come back to time. And for a moment, they felt how they were being imprisoned by time.
"Hey! I am the authority here, answer back when I'm talking to you!"
Prince Waverus knew something big was about to happen. He could only let himselft be lead by time.
"Silence! Let's hear what comes out of his mouth"
Gabriel was also able to feel how he was living for a second time the same scene. But this wasn't new to him, he had experienced visions from God, as this was the favorite method of communication from God to him. However, it wasn't something you get use to it.
By the time Gabriel had the long sword of fire in front of Prince Waverus. They all, demons and angels were looking at how the kid was going to die. Waverus stopped the waves and the air, and let the kid die on his own will. This time, he knew Gabriel didn't have authority to attack, but he also knew that the kid was going to die.
The celebration started again. They were beating the enemy, and the kid denying the mere existence of God while he was drowning increased the strength they had.
A strong disappointment seized Gabriel again. Demons commanded by Waverus started celebrating and the ferocious storm could not be stopped.
But the voice of the dead kid could be heard in every single being in the sky "Forgive me!"
Something was coming at a high speed from the water. The kid was alive once again! And he pronounced the following words "Thank you! You saved me!"
The kid was still in the storm, waves were still crashing on him. He was lost in the middle of the sea, but still, he was thanking God for saving him, something that had not happened yet. This is called "Faith". Faith that died and resurrected along with the kid.
Suddenly angels felt how their shields were being constructed once again, but this time twice as big and strong and surrounded by the powerful faith coming from the kid. Wind was being forced back when crashing with the shields of the angels. and their attacks were being reflected back. So demons started retreating.
Waverus decided to attack the kid. That was his only hope, demoralizing and killing the kid could weaken the angels and strengthen his demons.
This is when the Fishermen where coming back from looking for the waves and heard the kid crying out "thank you Lord, you saved me!"
The storm was still raging, the wind was trying to sink the boat, but they had the conviction that they could retrieve the kid and escape from that place to the shore.
They were able to get where the kid was. He didn't stop yelling "Thank you! You saved me God!"
But even though they were able to grab the kid, it was impossible to get the kid inside the boat. There was a big evil force grabbing the kid. They couldn't understand what was happening. A big wave crashed on the boat forcing the fishermen to lose the kid again, but they tried to surf the waves to return where the kid was floating whipped by the sea.
But in their way to the kid, they found another kid that was also drowning, and they pulled the kid inside the boat. Finally, they were able to grab the first kid once again, but once again, they couldn't take them inside the boat, while they were struggling, they remembered something, they all remembered the same and said at the same time:
"you need to get it! we can't get you inside!"
When the kid heard the fishermen, he jumped inside the boat.
He couldn't move, but he kept yelling out loud, You saved me! You saved me! Thank you God! Thank you God!
His uncle was also rescued. By the time they reached the shore, they found that also two other family members were drowning, Ab-El's sister and also another cousin.
Five of them were rescued, none of them died, but the fight in heaven was not over yet.
