Where Angels Dare to Trod
Islington is walking along the ship. It is a steady pace. But slow. If people didn't know better, It would like like It was floating or gliding. If you run, It will walk. If you stop, It will continue Its pace. Never changing, never pausing. As if by walking, it can change something about this place.
It's garments seem to be made of light itself. As It goes along, It is humming an ancient tune: The Lyke Wake Dirge (As sung by Benedict Cumberbatch)
And that's the interesting thing about this particular Angel: It seeks neither to offer help nor the counsel of others. It is simply walking. Perhaps It is measuring the ship, perhaps It is weighing the integrity of the people gathered. Whatever the reason, It continues on Its journey. Simply walking....

"I apologise. I would be happy to help you learn. It is... one of my gifts."

"Even though I am... ... what's the word they use? A pagan?" Grainne lifted her eyebrows in query.
no subject
Besides, there's plenty of time for conversion.
"Every religion under the sun started out as pagan."
Because, really there was no other reality to be experienced.

"Ah, you've misunderstood me. There is only one God. However humans in their inability to comprehend such things made angels and natural events into gods in their minds."
She should take it literally, since that is how It meant it.

Because well, maybe God was pulling off a creation on the side It doesn't know about.

It offers a small smile. "That said, I am certain I know both of them. All of the Angels know each other. But I wouldn't know them as you do."

Oh. She stopped there, realizing she had let her pride let slip one of the more connected pieces of information to her true identity.

"Well, when we are among mortals we don't always flaunt our nature. I did when I was at Atlantis. But when I was in London Below, I kept it quiet for a long time."

"Ah..." She still wasn't convinced, as she knew that things could be very different universe to universe, but still... she had nothing she could use otherwise to argue. "It is strange though, do not all gods have red eyes?"
I apologise for strange delays, something borked between Dreamwidth and AOL :(
"Humans are created in the image and likeness of God. Our eye colours are as vast as yours."

She hadn't bothered asking Cu Chulainn or Gilgamesh on their ancestry, but then those weren't the happiest of conversations to begin with, either. Missed opportunities.
no subject
"I cannot explain your experiences. I can only tell you that I have direct knowledge of such things."
no subject
"Are you sure that it is the same in all universes, then?"
