Guardians of the Seal<br />
opponent at one go.<br />
Even though the flaming tail was flying speedily towards him, Gabriel heard<br />
Imani's prayer. As an archangel, he had to place a limit on his powers while on<br />
earth on assignment. Only the freewill prayer of a human being or express<br />
orders from God Himself could permit him to remove the limit. He clasped his<br />
hands together and exclaimed, “Release!”<br />
Immediately, he was wrapped in the true light of Heaven. He grew to nearly<br />

really was. As he kept thinking about this, another thought entered his<br />
consciousness. There was something about it he couldn't quite wrap his mind<br />
around, but it was a true thought and so he waved the uneasiness aside. His<br />
fallen comrades were guardians and would have gone straight to heaven after<br />
their death. Were they not the ones that said death was not the end? He could<br />
still see them again. He had all the seals. He closed his eyes and began the<br />
