"Seraph 021… step forward."

Within what appeared to be a heavenly courtroom, one that shone with majesty and splendor, stretching for what seemed like an eternity, there was a certain precipice that a particular angelic being rose to.

As this beautiful angel—having four wings and a golden aura that radiated her beauty—stood on the stage, her face filled with dread.

Her hands were currently bound with golden energy that sealed off her powers, but even if she had access to her power, there was nothing she could do to escape or avoid the fate that had befallen her.

All she could do was powerlessly stand before the tribunal before her.

Seated on a platform much higher than hers were 12 supremely powerful entities that resembled deities. They were the most powerful sentinels of the 6 Supreme Ancients of the Aethers—the Archangels that governed the affairs of the System.
