Introduction
The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~George Elliot
TO GET AN IDEA OF THE STORY:
Lander was against leaving Valhalla. He thought it was wrong, what they were doing to the people of Earth. But when he was called on to leave, he wouldn't be the one to complain to Valhalla's ruler, the High Seraph. As the space-time vessels left the dock, he saw his mother and father waving goodbye, two little specks on the edge of the wormhole.
As he turned away from the porthole at the back end of the cabin, He noticed a teenager passing an older man a note. Lander said nothing, and turned back to the porthole, watching the time-space flux go by. Slowly, the older man gazed up at him, then looked back at the note.
________________________________
Jason believed anything was possible. his father had disappeared on a rainforest expedition 15 years ago, and just reappeared 3 months ago in a small fishing village in Chile, mumbling about flying. Of course Jason wouldn't know anything about the disappearances; he was only 1 year old at the time. But he believed some strange force was acting in his life.
________________________________
Lander walked along the flight deck, listening to the creaks and groans of the hull. a group of other seraphs whispering to each other caught his attention. two of them were the two he saw back at the cabin. He tried to walk by, but the teenager stopped him.
"Neelas wants to talk to you. you'd do well to listen." He said under his breath.
The old Seraph stepped forward. Everyone became silent as he began to talk.
"Lately I hear you have had misgivings about this trip."
Slightly annoyed, Lander tried to push past the group.
"Lander, I have discussed with your father about your position on the Earth predicament."
"How do you know my name?" Lander asked.
"This is my proof that I know what I'm talking about."
His annoyance became disbelief as Neelas pulled out a recorder that began playing a short clip of a discussion he and his father had had just yesterday. a talk about Lander being against the trip.
"How did you-"
"I believe your father has been to Earth before, has he not?"
"Yes, but-"
"There is another way, Lander. Another way to live on the planet Earth. A way that doesn't include mutilating the mind of the host."
Lander thought for a moment. They didn't seem quite.... normal. But they looked sane enough.
"....Show me how."
________________________________
Jason sat in his apartment with his mom. they were watching "Live Free or Die Hard".
"I am Lander."
At first he thought it was part of the movie. But then...
"You're Jason, right?"
He jumped. "Who said that?"
His mother looked at him funny.
"No one said anything, honey." She smiled at him. The voice laughed and said, "Oh, just the creepy voice in your mind."
"Mom, can I pause the movie for a second?"
"Of course."
He broke into a run for his room, and whispered, "Alright. so you're in my mind, right?"
"What did I just say? Of course I'm in your mind!"
"Then what am I thinking?" He formed a picture of a cow.
"Hey, I don't know the animals on this planet!" Said Lander.
"What do you want with me?" Jason tried to stay calm.
"I just need someone to help me." Lander said cheerfully.
Jason wasn't getting a good feeling about this. "How do I help you?"
"I just need to share you're body and mind for a while."
"I understand sharing my mind; you're already doing it. but my... body?
"Like this!"
He jumped from the window.
Jason screamed. Then the wings unfurled and he flew up into the sky.
"Wh-What have you done?"
"I just kept you from smashing into the pavement!"
"Right..."
They flew on into the endless skies.
TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT:
A race of humans that have evolved wings are in peril and must travel to Earth to sustain their race's existence. In order to travel, they must find a Shell, or human, and take it over. Some "Angels" feel this is morally and ethically wrong and instead of taking over Shells, they share them with the original host. these angels are considered traitors to their kind and are hunted down. Will you be a human, a rebel seraph, or a seraph hunter?
