A small child stood in the shadow of the Devil. She watched as he pulled the feathers from the backs of angels. The child held the hand of the Devil as he continued to pull. Then a new angel was brought in. The Little Girl stepped forward and looked into the eyes of the Angel. The Devil paused and looked at the Little Girl.
The Angel's eyes were like fire, for she could feel the flames from his stare. The Little Girl looked to the Devil and asked "Can we keep him, please?"
The Devil was stunned, the girl had never asked for anything like this before. The Devil nodded his great head and stepped back. and so the Angel bowed his head and kneeled before the Little Girl. "You have saved my wings, what would you like in return?"
The Little Girl looked at the Angel and then to the Devil " Be my friend and my protector,"
The Angel looked to the Devil, for his word was final. "Be her protector and her friend. Betray her and I will take more than your wings,"
Years have passed and the Little and the Angel stayed together. The Devil's trust in the Angel grew. Then, one day, the Angel asked a dangerous question: "How did the Little Girl end up in the hands of the Devil?"
The Devil looked into the Angel's burning eyes ,"While you may have seen God as a forgiving creature, He doesn't forgive those who question him," The Devil's fist where clenched in unbridled rage.
The Angel took in this knowledge, "So, He sent her here?"
"No," came the Devil's reply, "He threw her to the beasts," The Devil paused, "I saved her,"
The Angel was shocked. The Angel stood before the Devil and kneeled. "I have been here for many years," the Angel said, "After seeing and hearing everything, I pledge myself to you,"
The Devil looked at the kneeling Angel, "You need not to pledge yourself to me, for I am not a commander,"
The Angel rose and shook hands with the Devil. Together, the Angel, Devil, and the Little Girl lived in harmony. Always remembering, that even a kind god can be cruel.
