𝗖𝘆𝗿𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝗽𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗺 - •°Chapter 10: Heavenly Guardians; The Nine Orders of Angels°•

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDP0GNsqUEW

All of it was made possible by the creation of the angelic hierarchy — a carefully structured system dividing their kind into ranks and levels, each with unique abilities and strengths that reflected their role in the celestial order...

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUw5JtB8iK0

1. Seraphim - The Fiery Ones

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUmxZRjJOE

The Seraphim — the fiery ones — represent the pinnacle of angelic evolution. These supreme beings possess six resplendent wings, their feathers gleaming in pure white and brilliant gold, radiating both unbridled power and flawless purity.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDv39YNCc0

At the highest echelon of Heaven, only three Seraphim exist. Among them reigns the Angel Queen herself — her golden wings casting a warm, sunlit aura that commands awe. The remaining two Seraphim bear wings of flawless white, a testament to their unwavering dedication.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmknfEpvj3p

Yet, the Queen’s unmatched strength extends far beyond her wings or the brilliance of her halo. Her power is absolute, inspiring reverence throughout the entire angelic realm.

2. Cherubim - Guardians of Knowledge

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0aGLpD3Fj

The Cherubim — guardians of celestial knowledge — serve as Heaven’s sacred archivists, preserving the records of creation and safeguarding the most ancient secrets of the cosmos. Their wisdom shapes both celestial affairs and the fates of mortals, having intervened at key moments in human history — most notably overseeing the expulsion from the Garden of Eden itself.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQGH6s70S6

Their wings gleam like polished silver, threaded with soft streams of pale white light that ripple like living silk. This unique radiance reflects their role as the keepers of truth — their feathers shimmering as if infused with the very essence of knowledge.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6591rQMDj

As both scholars and enforcers of divine law, the Cherubim embody wisdom, authority, and devotion, standing eternal as the minds behind Heaven’s greatest mysteries.

3. Archangels - The Queen's Chosen Blades

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJfERWLXy

The Archangels serve as Heaven’s elite warriors and commanders, leading the charge whenever threats arise against the realms of light. Handpicked and personally trained by Queen Heralé, they are masters of celestial combat, wielding divine weapons forged from Heaven’s purest essence.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUepRY2DCy

More than just messengers, the Archangels are battle-hardened champions who confront the Devils head-on, protecting both humanity and the Afterlife. Their loyalty to the Queen is absolute, and their swift intervention often turns the tide of any battle.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRXrpQ10im

Their wings are breathtaking — snowy white feathers gleaming under celestial light, with golden flames licking the tips. This fiery edge reflects their fierce devotion and unwavering readiness to fight for Heaven’s cause.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaLgiXiHVc

As defenders of justice and the Queen’s most trusted agents, the Archangels embody unmatched strength, discipline, and honor.

4. Supremes — The Willbearers

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Ce7CW0H76

The Supremes act as Heaven’s master coordinators, receiving the Queen’s decrees and transmitting them down through the angelic ranks. Rarely seen by mortals, they influence leaders, governments, and great decision-makers, quietly guiding history’s course.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG1HNB2TfS

Their wings shimmer in pure white, edged with sleek silver, simple yet dignified — a visual reminder of their subtle but powerful authority. They don’t fight on the battlefield, but entire empires rise or fall beneath the ripple of their unseen influence.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChuwNzxSHB

Their role is delicate: balancing free will with divine intent, allowing humanity to stumble yet preventing it from complete collapse. They are the architects behind the world’s great turning points — always present, never seen.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5tBeKGw1D

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKVgWAMz0V

5. Luminaries — The Worldshapers

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25dLLTHroY

The Luminaries safeguard nature and inspire human creativity. Through quiet whispers, they spark breakthroughs in art, healing, science — and even human studies of the mysterious laws they call physics. Though rarely seen, they often walk among mortals as healers, artists, or scientists, gently steering humanity forward.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6Ff5bc4MX

Their wings shimmer pearlescent white, with silver-edged feathers and faint rainbow glimmers, reflecting the vibrant life they nurture.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehd9ExSHYo

As silent architects of existence, the Luminaries ensure that creation continues to thrive under Heaven’s care.

Cyra’s eyes darted across the page, soaking in the words — until one stopped her cold.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsJH5GxJ7K

'Physics?'

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoMsq4RvYw

Her brow creased. 'What kind of strange human nonsense is that?' she thought, remembering Lloyd’s constant use of odd Earth terms.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKQ9U3rBVm

A sudden surge of frustration made Cyra smack her forehead, the sharp tap echoing through the quiet library. Lloyd, still buried in his own book, glanced up at her sheepish grin.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6aYDY3Yne

She flashed him a playful smile that clearly meant “Nothing’s wrong.”

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorQfPea0QT

Lloyd raised an eyebrow but said nothing, simply returning to his book.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡymHigM8Urr

Cyra’s thoughts, however, lingered. 'I really should read more... though I’d never admit that to him', she mused, her lips curling in a mischievous smirk.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7R6Bb2gCV

Refocusing, she returned to the page, eager to uncover more secrets — though that strange human word still nagged at the edge of her mind.

6. Judicators — The Thrones of Judgment

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKJ2UZQ0sD

The Judicators serve as the Queen’s solemn chariot, bearing her through the heavens with unshakable grace. Yet far beyond this honor lies their true calling: dispensing her divine judgment with unwavering clarity.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVd8q117O8

Their wings gleam in polished silver streaked with molten gold, like rivers of light cutting through moonlit steel — a reflection of their dual essence: merciful yet absolute. Their gaze sees through lies, discerning truth where others falter.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFpWVKeJza

Few dare stand before the Judicators in judgment. Their very presence restores order, silencing even the boldest with a single glance. Silent, loyal, and implacable, they embody discipline and the full weight of Heaven’s highest law.

7. Sentinels — The Boundary Wardens

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMcy8TVDJj

The Sentinels guard the border between life and eternity, guiding souls through birth and death. They make sure every journey follows the divine plan.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6h889fnXrI

But their duty doesn’t end there. They stand as Heaven’s first line of defense, stopping Devils who try to upset the balance. With deep wisdom, they advise both angels and mortals on matters of faith and destiny.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiz7hV6UeA

At the Bridge of the Afterlife, the Sentinels protect the sacred crossing from corruption. Their wings shimmer in dark silver, fading into bright white — a symbol of their place at the edge of beginnings and endings. Calm, watchful, and steadfast, the Sentinels hold the line where Heaven touches the unknown.

8. Overseers — Guides of the Mortal Realm

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw24i8ZDGMd

The Overseers are the angels humans encounter most. Though often unseen, their presence quietly shapes daily life — gently guiding nations, towns, and nature itself to keep balance in the world.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDdT3nJ2aL

Like the Angel Queen rules Heaven, the Overseers govern human affairs, assigning tasks to lower angels and ensuring that the divine plan unfolds in harmony. Their leadership steers the course of history, blending mercy with wisdom.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pw2t9lr5W

Their wings gleam in pure white, like freshly fallen snow, with gold running along the center feathers — a mark of their sacred role as guardians of the human world. Calm, compassionate, and ever-watchful, the Overseers walk beside humanity, keeping the world steady beneath Heaven’s gaze.

9. Angels — Messengers & Guardians

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvS6KHHqNC

The Angels are the most common of Heaven’s host — the familiar protectors and messengers who walk beside humanity. Sent to Earth, they carry divine wisdom, offer comfort, and guide mortals through life’s trials.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1iVPtglPln

As guardians, they shield individuals from danger, whether seen or unseen. Sometimes they appear in dreams or visions; other times, they fight as warriors under The Angel Queen's command, defending the innocent against dark forces.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDcdIkFq9jG

Their wings shine pure white, like fresh snow — a symbol of their purity, devotion, and endless compassion. Wherever hope flickers or danger looms, Angels stand ready, ever watchful and endlessly faithful.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjG2bRHb1kg

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbTo4IGpOQ

Within the celestial realm of Heaven, the Nine Orders of Angels are marked by their magnificent wings, each carrying unique colors that reflect their roles and authority. Yet, despite these distinctions, all Angels share certain divine traits: remarkable healing powers, the gift of flight, brilliant halos radiating their inner light, a soothing aura that comforts those around them, and flowing garments of shimmering white and gold. But most striking are their Life Eyes — burning orbs that pierce into the soul, revealing truth beneath all masks.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tHKY8Uxqk

Yet even divine hearts are not immune to corruption.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcgQ45J21Y

In rare and tragic cases, an Angel may succumb to sin. With each act of darkness, their luminous wings begin to dim — like twilight swallowing the last light of day. As the corruption deepens, halos twist into horns, and tails emerge, physical marks of their fall. When all light is lost, the Angel Queen, sorrowful yet resolute, exiles them into the burning pits of Hell.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhml88YvzxX

Thus, a Devil is born — a creature consumed by malice and severed from grace. Once fully fallen, redemption becomes a distant myth. No Devil has ever crossed back into the light. The rift between purity and corruption is vast; their wings remain blackened, their hearts irreversibly stained. The hope of restoration lingers only as an ancient whisper — a miracle no one has lived to see.

Cyra's eyes darted across the page, her brow creased in deep thought. Then she suddenly snapped the book shut, strands of her white hair falling into her face as her hands raked through it, brushing against the curved tips of her horns.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXZmuQCNlO

"But that can't be right..." she muttered under her breath. The idea of Devils being beyond redemption gnawed at her.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyF7pBQSRTz

Across the table, Lloyd glanced up from his own finished book, one brow arched in mild amusement.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnw0Otbr3vL

"Done?" he asked, voice laced with teasing.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFrHR5UV2y

Cyra let out a cheerful laugh. "Yeah… It's amazing how much you can learn in fifteen minutes."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8p17wxKzt

Lloyd blinked, lips twitching. "Actually, it's been over an hour."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcqf11Qh2y

Her eyes widened, heterochromatic irises flashing with alarm. "WHAT?!" she yelped, springing to her feet. "I'm gonna be late for my lesson!" And with a flash of light, she vanished from the library in an instant.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu37Xgce252

Lloyd shook his head with a soft chuckle, gathering up the book she’d left behind and returning it neatly to the shelf.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKhhRFDk06

'Some people never change…' he thought, affection coloring his quiet smile.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzSt8jwHS8

Moments later, he teleported into the training hall, spotting Cyra already mid-session with Zelthur. Her movements were sharp, precise—each strike filled with growing confidence.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJXUsqLnTF

Lloyd’s smile softened into something more thoughtful, pride swelling quietly in his chest.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ko2n4U7p1

"Well, mum… looks like Cyra's growing up," he mused, watching her with protective fondness. She was becoming stronger every day—stronger than even she realized. And no matter how powerful she became, Lloyd knew he'd always be there — to support her, to guide her, and, when necessary, to keep her from doing anything too reckless.

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetzSqwMnkO

Just like any older brother would.

Cyra: "The Luminaries inspire science, art, and... physics?"

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfYD05tldn

Lloyd: "Yep."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyNjoYsM5v

Cyra: "I still have no idea what physics is."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqk4aPIpkq

Lloyd: "It’s what makes your sword not float randomly in midair."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaVnD75D0r

Cyra: "...I prefer magic."

Cyra: "So... if an Angel turns into a Devil, they get horns, wings turn black, and they grow a tail?"

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpTVH1sdmz

Lloyd: "Yup."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIP7uJ1ZAB

Cyra: "Sounds like a makeover gone wrong."

130Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlw8wnN11ZF

Lloyd: "Trust me, it’s not as fun as it sounds."
