To anyone expecting an excessively formal presentation of the thing, given the half-angel’s particularly business-like manner of contacting them initially, it turns out that Prudence Jaeger, Hand of God, is very straight forward when you actually interact with her. She will greet the local angels that arrive without much fanfare, simply sitting on the stairs of the church that lead up to the podium and gesturing for them to take their seats on the wooden benches.
Her wings are actually exposed now – a set of white feathery ones, that are purely physical in form, unlike the spirit made ones of full angels. There is an ornate rapier sheathed at her side.
There will probably be some time to bother her before she begins the meeting, if you are so inclined, but she is not the most talkative, and seems somewhat uncomfortable in the presence of so many angels. Still, she will eventually stand up on the stairs and begin telling her tale, after throwing out some protective charms to guard them from observation.
“Thank you for coming,” she will start, a bit uncomfortably. “As I’ve suggested to a few of you... I’ve brought with me some information that could be critical to the angels that are still trapped on Earth. I’m sure you’ve already seen the demons and the fae start to act... the Sanctuary I was staying at this week was already attacked.”
She swallows. “There are... reasons for this, that not many people realize. It’s more than just the standard level of aggression we deal with from their kinds. You’ll notice that all of this is coming from the species most directly affected by ‘the Severing’ – that is, the magical event that cut off communication with Heaven twenty five years ago.
“I’ve never known the specifics of this spell myself... I was only born a short time before it occurred. But I’ve been given information from a trustworthy source, that suggests the magical and spiritual fluctuations of the Earth are due to the spell’s long term effects... that it was set up to run from the energy of the Earth’s spirit, and recent stress has caused it to take more than anyone was expecting.
“It was meant to separate the Earth from extra-planar creatures, and though we’ve never known what this looks like from the outside... it seems like it does something more complicated than simply preventing entry. I believe that there may have been an influx of beings who have very recently arrived from outside the Earth... and that they are walking among us, right now.
“I also have reason to believe that this presence could be the key to dismantling the spell from the inside.”
She will go on to describe the situation in more specifics. It doesn’t sound like she knows much about the magic itself, and is going off of the word of a human mage, but she is under the impression that the Severing spell may be overloaded, and thus currently vulnerable.
A more important question looms. If it is possible to dispel the wards protecting the Earth from outsiders... should it be destroyed? Or is the safety of the Earth from Hell’s forces more important?
