Summary
Isaac Garroway is a child of God. Even more so than the rest of his community, for he was sired by the priest himself. Thus, the odds are in his favour; enhanced protection is guaranteed when one's father customarily communes with the heavens.
And yet, isolation eats at Isaac for the exact same reason. Most children would prefer to chase each other in the fields, tumbling through tall grass and bundles of yarrow, limbs and hair and laughter tangling into each other, rather than concern themselves with matters such as God's relentless gaze, Bible symbolism, or the fate of the human soul post-mortem.
Which is why, when the opportunity to make a friend arises, Isaac leaps at it without a second thought, clinging to his new playmate like a peregrine's talons to a songbird. Even better, he realises that he somehow managed to find an angel of all things. A real angel! With rows of wings and crowns of eyes and... a throat laced with excessive teeth?
And that angel - Or rather pretense of an angel, but words are fickle things, are they not? After all, every demon used to be an angel once, before the fall - is called Abaddon.
