Chapter 5- Ceremony

When you try to look at the Heavenly Father all you see is a white mass shifting between shapes. One moment a man the other a women. Each angel in the room looked at the Heavenly Father with respect and reverence, except of course Silas. Which the Heavenly Father noted.

"My beautiful children, I'm so glad to see all of you here. I know for some of you, you had to wait for quite a while but I do hope that you can forgive me."

All the angels sitting in the auditorium didn't dare to say anything because all of them felt happy that the Heavenly Father acknowledged them and their time. All the angels in the room grew more attentive and respectful to whatever the Heavenly Father was saying.

"I am so happy to see that none of you are feeling dissatisfied by waiting more than more 50 years." Some of the angels in the back start crying tears of joy mumbling things like they could finally die happy now.

"So now it's time to start the ceremony and give you all your roles for heaven." The auditorium instantly quiets down ready for the next words to come out of the Heavenly Fathers mouth.

The Heavenly Father starts calling up angels, starting from the oldest to youngest. That means Silas is basically last to get his role. Silas wasn't complaining, because all of the attention will be on him since he's the one who's going to be closing the ceremony.

The Heavenly Father keeps calling out angels giving them their roles from a normal soldier, to medical staff, all the way to mechanics. One angel even got promoted to teacher and that earned him an extra set of wings.

Every single angel was happy for their role because it was given to them by the being they respected most. but if we look closely at some of the faces it show a bit of jealously at the angel with a extra set of wings. But the next second that feeling left their faces as face as it never appeared.

After awhile the Heavenly Father finally made it to Silas age group. As most of their names where called most of them didn't get anything special and they left the stage feeling happy but a little bit disappointed.

But now Regis was called.

Regis gets up and walks towards the stage everyone is now watching with attention. Regis bows in front of the Heavenly Father. "Regis you are one of the top students in your class. So your mother has decided to retire and give you her role." Regis looks up in shock and the crowd is just as shocked. "That's right, your mother Archangel of Patience Uriel wanted to take over her virtue."

Virtues. They are the highest possible position you can have in Heaven, right under the Heavenly Father. They are leaders, commanders, and inspirations the role they play can't be underestimated. The Virtues rarely ever changes hands.

Regis quickly bows lower and profusely thanks the Heavenly Father and his mother for giving him such an important role. The Heavenly Father feeling the emotions of Regis is happy and glad knowing that they aren't going to regret this choice.

Suddenly a bright light fills the hall and an orb with a symbol is floating if the hand of the Heavenly Father. Regis looks at the orb and feels an indescribable connection to it. The heavenly Father pushes the orb towards Regis and it slowly enters him.

Everyone is watching with rapt attention even Silas because of how rare this moment is. Even the oldest angels has only see something like this less than 10 times in their lives. Regis closes his eyes and let the changes affect him.

After about 30 minutes Regis stands up.

He doesn't really look any different than before except the vibe he's now giving off. If before he was a prince ready to lead the nation, he now feels like a king whos been in power for years. Regis looks over all the angels in the hall and every angel started to feel oppressed. Regis lets his wings go free and shock once again affects all the angels they now see two extra pairs of wings.

Regis now has 3 sets of wings, their bright white with gems studded throughout all of feathers making Regis look even more like a royalty. Regis flaps his wings once and a powerful gust of air goes though the whole place. Regis folds his wings back and bows again and starts to leave the stage.

When Regis walks past Silas, Silas catches a look into his eyes and sees his soul. It shocks Silas what he sees, It's still a crown but so much bigger and every jewel embedded has perfect harmony with each other.

The Heavenly Father didn't stop Regis because they knew it was the perfect opportunity to show them how powerful being a Virtue is.

"Let's now move on. Amare it's your turn." Amare gets up and every part of her jiggles a little. All the male angels nods in appreciation. After making to the stage the Heavenly Father continues. "You are also unique case because your father Cupid also want to give you his role."

Everyone again gasps. "Knowing that you are also a hard worker just like Regis I couldn't find a reason not to accept your fathers offer. So are you willing to take over his job for him?" Amare stood there stunned, then suddenly dropped down to bow to the Heavenly Father.

"I'm grateful for this, thank you." A flash of light brightens up the whole place again and when the light dims on the stage appears a bow. The bow is strangely shaped like a bunch of hearts are weaved together.

Amare feeling a strong attraction to it grabs it and pulls it close. The bow disappears into her and she starts feeling warmth all over. Such dense feelings of love make Amare truly understand the concept. She stands up and unfurls her wings.

She still only has one pair but they are double the size than they were before. They grew a few shades of darker pink. matching her perfectly. Amare bows again then leaves the stage pulling her wings back.

Silas get a look into her eyes and soul to see if anything changed. Silas suddenly looks away stunned, he saw a huge heart spinning around with a bunch of small different colored hearts. The only change is a bow protecting everything like a sentient being. Silas quickly stops looking not wanting the bow to find out that he was looking.

"Now Solis please come to the stage." Solis stands up with as much grace as she could muster and heads towards the stage.

"Now Solis you are a bit of a special case, you have earned the right to be a Virtue but no position is open right now so I ask you... if you are willing to wait?" Solis with her unwavering eyes looks at the Heavenly Father directly.

"I am!"

The Heavenly Father pats her head and asks her to return to her seat. Everyone watched the whole exchange with disbelieve in their eyes. "Not one but two angels worthy of Virtue level and a new Archangel of Love. that generation is crazy." One of the random angels said. Everyone unanimously agreed with him.

The Heavenly Father looks at the last angel. and when they look over, they see Silas smiling at them.
