“Next.”

Seeing that your shift wasn’t going to end anytime soon, you sighed. Picking up the list of names, you saw that some souls were not escorted to the court yet. “What are they doing?” Muttering to yourself, you struck the gavel three times, catching the attention of the souls that await your judgement and your helpers who were standing next to you.

“We shall have recess. All souls that have not been judged, please stay in the defendant lobby. Court is adjourned!” You left your seat, and flew up to the highest tiers of the heavens, to meet with your boss, Archangel Michael.

Knocking on the door, you stated your name and rank. “Sir Michael, it is I, (name), The Highest Order of Judgement of Souls, Luce de Vita.” The door opened immediately, revealing a desk filled with papers, and Michael seemed to be buried by it. “Sir?!” you exclaimed, and Michael quickly stood up, clutching his head.

“(name), what is your business here? As you can see, I am rather bogged down trying to deal with all the paperwork too…” The exhausted Michael replied slowly, as he clicked his fingers, making his papers rearrange themselves in neat piles around and on his desk. “Sir, there is a problem with the escorting system. Somehow, several souls have not been escorted yet… And I do expect them to have done serious crimes as well.”

Michael sighed. “Why is it that I, the Archangel, the one cleaning up messes?” You gave him a sympathetic look. “Sir, I do understand your position. And I don’t intend to impose on you. I want you to give me your permission for me to go down personally.” Surprised by your request, Michael looked rather amused. “You? (name), you are a rank lower than I am, and among the highest positions for several millenniums. To think that the Highest Order of Judgement will go down herself…”

You replied, “I want to gain an understanding of what is actually happening… I cannot have you, sir, do all the work.” You gestured towards the piles on his desk. Michael sighed. “I do understand your good intentions, (name). However, I feel that you are trying too hard. Your subordinates are reliable, you know. It isn’t like those days when we fought Lucifer, you know?”

Not meeting Michael’s eyes, you say, “But since the one problem we had a few hundred years ago, we never had any problems. I just don’t understand how a system just breaks down like that. I have to check it out. Hopefully, it’s not another rebellion.” Michael sighed. “Seems like I have no choice, (name). I can’t argue against you. I trust you have assigned people to replace you for Judgement Day?”

Seeing that you had nodded, Michael raised his hand, saying, “I, Archangel Michael, give permission to (name), the Highest Order of Judgement of Souls, Luce de Vita, to go down to Earth!” Immediately, you spread your wings, and a warp appeared behind you. “Thank you, sir. I shall not disappoint you.” With these words, you leaned back, falling into the warp.

Michael sighed as the warp closed quickly. He tapped the walls with his finger, and suddenly, the skies and the clouds were visible to him. Looking at the grey clouds with concern, Michael whispered, “Good luck, Highest Order…”
