shepherds. It has always been our task to observe and watch over the emerging human species and report back on their progress. We were confined by the divine prime directive not to interfere in human evolution. Unfortunately, today, we have no choice but to intercept man’s claim to the wealth of the earth.”
    Mia interrupted with a thought… “But how were we supposed to know this? Where does it say…”
    “Most of the information you have about us and our activities comes from the banned Book of Enoch . The Catholic Church banned the Book of Enoch, which spoke of ‘the Watchers’ who had transgressed God’s law. The church ruled that prayers should be directed to the three archangels; Michael, Gabriel and Raphael. But there are thousands of us now. The church won't recognise that because they deem us supernatural and that cannot be preached."
    Mia’s head was aching; about to become a constant throb. She placed the palm of both her hands on her brow to cool her skin. “Why have you chosen me to tell this stuff to? I don’t understand. I’m no one. Why me?”
    Uriel closed his eyes and suddenly Mia's headache was gone. She felt well, actually, really well. "There is a reason we chose you, Lakey, which you will find out soon, but for now, I can tell you we only communicate with the chosen ones. We call you Kudos."
    “Kudos?”
    He tilted his head in one simple nod. “Only Kudos may connect with us. We allow no others. We must have boundaries if our whole existence is to continue on earth.”
    “But why now? Why, if you have been here all along…wherever that is…why are you coming among us now?”
    “We are coming among you now to protect you. It has not been easy for us to show ourselves, to go amongst you, but evolution is important to our father, and man’s greed has left us with no choice.”
    “You mean because we’re destroying the planet?”
    He had a look of sadness on his face as his wings slowly dropped to the ground behind his back. “No. The earth is all powerful. She will fight back. Man could never take something from her without suffering the consequences himself.”
    “Why do you refer to the Earth as Her ?”
    “She is the mother? She will destroy you before you destroy her. Men are arrogant if they think they are capable of destroying the earth. They can destroy themselves but never her .”
    “Then why are you here? If... the mother can fight against us, why are you here now?”
    “That discussion shall be had later. At that time, we will meet with your leaders to offer them one last chance. That time will come soon.”
    “Time?”
    “Your people are about to commit the ultimate sin against mankind and the planet earth. We shall work to prevent that most destructive action.”
    His comment shook Mia to her core. “And if you can’t stop them? What then?”
    “Then a new cycle in earth’s evolution will begin.”
    She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. “Are you saying that soon it will be the end of the world?” Mia held her breath while she waited for his answer.
    Uriel smiled. “No, Lakey. The beginning.”
     
    Mia could feel the dampnes s of the grass seeping through her jeans. She pulled the collar of her sweater over her neck. She was cold now, but surely her rising panic should be heating her up?
    "Why are you telling me all of this? I'm not sure I can deal with the responsibility. I'm no one. I'm just an average teenager! A nobody. What do you expect me to do with this information?" Since her headaches had vanished, her thoughts had become very clear and she was more than clear about the absurdity of her situation.
    “You will have a connection to the leaders of the world.”
    “What?” She laughed at the irony of his statement. He’d mixed her up with someone else. He must have. “No, I’m sorry, but you’ve got the wrong person. I have no connection to anyone important. I’m just a kid!”
    “The connection has not yet been made. You will know when
