"An angel...?"
It looked over its shoulders at its wings for a second before turning back to Isabelle. It nodded slowly, its neck creaking as it did so.
"I do not know my own name, so if you wish to name me go ahead. If you can find me a purpose...I will owe you greatly, Isabelle. I've been lost for so long and in the search of a purpose. Please, give me a reason for existence."

"Yes, an angel.. ...I'm thinking of two names: Genesis or Raphael. Raphael is an angel name, and.. well, Genesis refers to a new beginning, and Raphael is an Archangel, who heals and cares for people. Do you heal people?" [i]Isabelle questioned curiously, though was reminded of how the being did not know what he existed for.[/i] "...Maybe that is your purpose: to start anew. Or maybe healing people. I can try to help.."
-
"Thank you for the suggestions and the help, Isabelle. I don't believe I'm an angel however. Someone has pointed out to me that I have a threatening look and am most likely made for hurting others. I don't believe I can heal anyone." The being sounded sad when it brought up possibly being made for killing.
-
"You don't believe? ...I believe that you can. That you can at least try to help others. Individuals should be judged for their actions, not something as flimsy as their appearance: Was Meredith judged for her hips, and not her wit? Gideon for his lithe posture, and not his dedication? ...Those are two people that I have met. Who.. saved me, some time ago."
-
"Their actions? That makes sense, but I don't know how well I can heal ofthers. I don't have any healing capabilities." The lights on the figure's face gradually began to turn blue.
-
"You could learn how to stitch together wounds. Or you could help people that suffer from mental illnesses, and give them peace - maybe even fix them. Are you okay? Why are you turning blue?" [i]Isabelle questioned, as she pointed towards the blue light.[/i]
-
"What do you mean?" The figure touched a hand to its face curiously. "My face is turning blue? That's odd. I wonder if that has any significance."
-
"It might. Maybe. Do you think that I have something to do with it?" [i]Isabelle said confusingly, touching her own face.[/i] "Is it a blush? People blush when embarrassed, or emotional."

-
"Everything is becoming clearer now. The distance's landscape is seeable. With the discovery of your purpose.. it begins to make sense!" [i]While Isabelle knew that she was likely wrong.. she was still innovated.[/i] "Maybe that is your purpose! To [i]help[/i], not hurt! Is that what you would want?"
-
Edited by Stitch: 6/22/2017 9:26:35 PM"That's...strange. How did you get that conclusion?" The figure looked around at the huge trees surrounding the rubble the duo sat in. Large structures could be seen in the distance. "What was my name again?"
-
"Genesis! It stands for "new beginning". Maybe this is the new beginning - the clearance of this realm! We need to investigate more of it, give you more of a purpose - maybe you'll figure out who you were, and then.. then we can get you into the real world!" [i]Isabelle seemed.. overjoyed.[/i]
-
Genesis did not understand Isabelle's happiness, but he was happy himself. "Maybe. I don't know how safe it is to explore, but I'll keep us safe." He spread his wings.
-
"Should I hang onto you? I'm not afraid of heights. I've rode Gideon's dragon before, and in one of Olivia's ships above a planet before. The latter, I was being shot at, but.. I wasn't scared." [i]Isabelle shrugged, wondering about her previous affairs and events.[/i]
-
Genesis opened its arms as if to hug. "I promise I won't drop you. Just, try not to squirm too much, okay?"
-
"...Okay." [i]Isabelle smiled, allowing herself to be engulfed by Gene's arms. She trusted the robotic being enough, anyway.[/i]

Edited by Stitch: 6/22/2017 11:49:19 PMGenesis hugged Isabelle gently, his metal arms strangely soft like skin to the touch. "Now...can I fly?" The duo slowly and silently began to fly upwards a few feet.
-
"You may fly, Genesis. I am safe now, I think."
-
They began to soar high up into the sky, above the gigantic, several thousand feet tall trees. The structures were still hard to see from up there. "I wonder what those are...." They started to head towards them, somehow flying forward in an up-right position.
-
"Structures of some sort? We should investigate!" [i]Isabelle hung tightly onto Gene's metallic body, arms wrapping around his frame as the two flew throughout the skies.[/i]
-
When they got closer the structures appeared to be some sort of gigantic skyscrapers that quite literally scraped the sky considering clouds covered the top of them. The large buildings were in ruin, vegetation grew all over them and large cracks and holes could be found on the sides. "What happened here?"
-
"This seems bad. Almost as desolate and destroyed as Avalon - Avalon was a pretty planet, with ice and snow and beautiful elves.. then the machines and the angels united. The poor mages, they.. they didn't stand a chance. ...I don't want this place to end up like Avalon." [i]Isabelle muttered sadly, continuing to hang tightly to Genesis' chassis as she surveyed the remains of the buildings. She didn't like it at all.[/i]
