Sky

On Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays Zuriel and I go out flying. It's  truly amazing, being in the sky.
The sunrises are beautiful, and I especially love them when we fly before dawn and see the sky turn from navy blue to light blue.
Zuriel says that after the war he'll have to bring me to Heaven, because Earth needs me but Heaven needs me more. He says I will not grow up as a human, that I'll have to grow up as an angel in Heaven, that I won't be on this Earth for much longer.
I asked why and he said, Because you were not meant to live in peace, you were meant to perish after the war.
I only nodded, and when we returned I almost told Reuben about my fast approaching death, but Zuriel had asked me not to and I wasn't sure I trusted Reuben to let me fight if he knew I would die.
The war is beginning.
There is yet to be a conflict, but the government is ready to strike, as are we. We've built underground pipes to bring water from the Yukon to the tavern, and we've been training. Everyone is undergoing battle training, and every room is undergoing bomb-proofing. We've been building missiles and planes, mostly bombers. We've been smuggling Napalm from Yukon with the help of Zuriel and Reuben, and we've put three huge deadbolts on the hatch in case we have to wait them out, we've been stockpiling food and guns, and several of the people who can't go out and fight are being trained as nurses and doctors.
Essentially, war is coming and quickly.
It'll start within the month, I think. Some even say within the week.
When Zuriel and I go flying, we have to camouflage for the weather. If the sky is stormy, we paint our wings gray and wear gray clothes, and if the weather is nice, we paint our wings bright blue and wear blue clothes.
And we watch.
From our spot in the sky we can see everything for miles, and now we're spies.
When Zuriel and I go flying, we're invisible but still there, always watching. We report back everything we see, and everything we hear. Good thing we've got wings, because surely the battle will be lost without them.
