Dan couldn't believe what he was hearing. His best friend was going to be the commander for all of hells army? That sounded so stupid that it couldn't be true. Although it didn't sound stupid when he had just been told he would lead Heavens' army.
"Ok." Dan frowned at the floor, crinkling his face up, desperately trying not to scream, "I'll do it."
The Angel stood before him "You know what this means? If you accept this you may die and peril will be near to you from now on."
"I know. You gotta do what you gotta do though, right?"
The Angel nodded.
"I am Benedict." The Angel smiled at Dan. He tried to smile back but he was too distraught. How could Mark be so fucking stupid? He wouldn't accept a deal with the Devil. Would he?
"Dante, your training must begin now."
"Ok. What do I need to know?"
"There are twenty four hours in a day on your world, and here is no different. You must choose how you wish to spend your time, and you must choose wisely. I will set out a basic plan for you, but ultimately you must decide your own destiny. No one will force you to do something that you don't want to do. That being said we will not allow you to waste your time."
"So do I get some kick ass wings, and some of that shiny stuff?" He was pointing directly at Benedict's' chest.
"No. Not yet anyway. Maybe in time if you work hard enough and prove yourself worthy."
"I'm deemed worthy enough to lead heaves army...but not to have some wings? That's so fucking dumb."
"Just because you have the potential to swim, does not mean you should leap into the sea right away" Benedict smiled at Dan, "Now Dante, here in Heaven there are three places, all of which you will come to know well."
"Ok. I think I know them, Heaven, Hell and Purgatory?"
Benedict laughed,
"The Impertinence of Humanity never ceases to amaze me. No. Hell is on a different plane all together. There is Heaven, Limbo and Earth. We are in Heaven now and no one may enter here by way off force, save the Devil. Limbo is different to purgatory, as Limbo is a place for the people who do not wish too believe what they see. It's a sanctuary for denial, but some souls have been there for eternity, and as such are bitter and twisted. They guard their land closely."
"Why don't you kick their asses?"
"That's not the way we do things in Heaven. We prefer the peaceful approach."
"What about the Crusades?"
"That was a while ago now. It was not our clearest hour."
"You done fucked up there." Dan switched to a Texas drawl as he said those words. He smiled and Benedict merely looked at him. When the ground shifted and the purest whitest light shone from all around the Angel. The white seemed too overpower Benedict and consume him.
DO NOT MOCK ME IN MY OWN HOUSE CHILD
All of a sudden he was back on the floor of the hallway.
"What the fuck was that all about?" Dan looked desperately around looking for any sign of what just occurred. "Did you not see that?"
"That was God, he projected his voice into your minds eye. Even his voice can outshine the brightest star in any galaxy. Now pick yourself up and let me show you to your quarters."
Benedict sped off down the hallway. Mumbling he dusted himself off and realising that sympathy was not forthcoming he ran after Benedict. Dan was amazed at all the intricate little patterns on the walls, and when he looked closer the patterns only got more and more detailed. A plethora of artistic grandeur had gone into the making of the walls. Dan reached out and ran his fingers across the wall, and it seemed to ripple with his touch, in a way it was reacting to him.
Benedict turned another corner and then stopped sharply, which caught Dan by surprise and nearly made him fall. He steadied himself and looked around.
"These are your quarters."
There were four beds all backed against the walls.
"I don't need four beds dude."
The angel laughed "They are for the other potentials."
"I thought you said I was unique? Why don't you just use one of them?" Dan's face was full of anger and Benedict could tell.
"Do not be so naïve. You cannot be unique. More importantly now is not the time to be arguing. There are three other potentials, yourself and one other from earth, and two born in heaven."
Dan's fear subsided to ask the obvious question,
"Wait, angels do the nasty?"
"It's procreation and we do believe in sexual relations for that purpose."
"That's so weird. So don't the angel...boy...heaven love child things have a head start on me and this other dude? Surely that's not fair."
"Make of it what you will," Benedict looked Dan straight in the eye "From now on though, you will live by the house rules. No swearing, no fighting, and more importantly do not take the Lords name in vain."
Dan let out a sigh; this wasn't going to be any sort of fun. He was pretty sure it never happened like this in films. He looked at his new home, a thought crossed his mind "No point clicking your heels now Dorothy. Kansas is way too fucking far away."
