On that fateful night the battle to end all battles started. The angels pariah versus the prince of angels. The battle to shake the world. The battle fought for the humans.

The angel Nadie walked on the path of heaven being blamed for the misfortune in the battle against demons, after all every place needs a pariah to take the blame, even heaven. The angel looked down at Earth and looked at the humans marveling at their complexity, their weakness, and their strength. Nadie couldn 't help but to marvel at them. Most angels saw the humans as weak hairless apes, but Nadie loved them. Most of all he wanted to be one.
