🕯 1. The Feathered Gate
He was heaven’s softest angel — until he chose to guard hell’s children instead.

He heard a child cry every night. So he made a vow: no nightmare would ever reach her again. He’s still keeping it.

Once a war beast. Now only speaks in dreams. His silence is the pact that holds reality intact.
