The Mutated Electric eels surrounded the body of Andar Erikson, about to begin their feast when the space above his body parted like a cloth, and Suriel stepped through.
His armor appeared battered, with many parts of it melted off, but with every passing moment they were slowly healing, but it would take weeks at least to repair all the damages. Suriel had pushed himself to the limit and beyond to find a suitable vessel for the Creator.
He had been monitoring Andar Erikson for a week, and he was among the top candidates. He had two potential candidates and Andar edged out his competition by a mile. His death only made that choice easier for him.
Suriel was not responsible for his death, although he did not save him either. He had watched the boy make the mistake that ended up killing him, and he could have helped at any time, even at the edge of Andar's life. But he did nothing and he watched.
Angels only see the world in shades of black and white.
