“The time has come to remind your brothers that their will is free. There is no growth where there is only blind adoration and acceptance. You have always understood this but the others have not, and so I will ask something of you that I would ask of no other. And because of this, mankind will blame you for their sins, and men and angels alike will turn from you. But the day will come when you will find yourself with my love and the love of others who have never lost faith surrounding you like a shield. For what you do, you do in my name, and I will hold onto you tightly, never once letting go.”

    “No. He will have to choose, just as you have chosen.”
   “You have given me no choice. You have given us no choice.”
    “Us? There is no us.”
