Forwarded from Ex Cathedra (Nero)
Among all faithful angels, amidst all those gruesome fights that once took place, there was one who was special. He wasn't a great angel, but his love was great. It was him who kept alive the flame of faith in the darkest moments of the battle, when all was dark and half of the angels seemed to rebel. He was detached for his goodness, and his faith shone to many others. It was him who, in the darkest hour, when even the faithful multitudes started to falter, amidst that dreadful silence, cried out:
"Who is like God?"
And this is how he came to be called: Mika-El. Michael. The restless, unbeaten fighter. The light of his unshakeable love illuminated many who were confused. His burning love defeated many who were in error. Even those who fought alongside Lucifer himself knew no venomous dart could pierce his unshakeable faith. Amid the doubt, he was unbeaten.
Michael knew much more about God than the Seraphim, because he loved Him more. This is why all those who went out against him had to retreat.
