Parts of the Story
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This a general breakdown, not quite chapter breakdown, more just basic parts or sections.

As it is in Heaven...

The formative period where Michessian is in Heaven. This will cover his Creation and the Illumination. It will cover his interpersonal relations with other angels and his training

And then there was Darkness...

This will cover the Great Rebellion and the Fall and the period immediately following it. It is here Michessian finds himself cut off from The Source, forever lost to Cassiel and at odds with Lucifer. Lucifer begins to change and Michessian realizes he does not belong. A fight between Michessian and Samael forces him to leave the one He once called Brother.

To the Edge of Insanity...

This will cover his departure from the Fallen and the intense loneliness he discovers. Driven to near insanity and death he is drawn to the epicenter of the Great Feud, Mankind. He discovers the energy that makes them The Source's greatest creation and by feeding off of it is empowered. The continued addition of more souls results in an addiction to which he loses himself...and he becomes the very beast He sought to keep the Fellow Fallen from becoming.

Embracing the Damnation...

...only to find Redemption. It is only after a decisive defeat at the hands of one of Heaven's greatest warriors, Melchesidek, who is posing as the Messiah, the Son of God, that he realizes that his greatest strength is also his greatest weakness. He realizes that he cannot continue as the Beast (Legion) He has become but cannot return to the slave (Michessian) that he used to be. He discovers himself along the way and realizes he is somewhere in between. He makes choices that will affect not only himself but the lovely angel Cassiel as well. But in order to reach his own redemption he must face a former rival and tenacious enemy in Azrael...the Angel of Death.
