EXCERPT
Prologue:
"Joseph, it's time for you to return to earth."
Joseph stood before his superior, Head Guardian Serena, and wondered how he could change her mind. An ethereal mist swirled around them with the ever-present sound of music filling the air.
"I know what you're thinking," she said, "and it won't work."
"But..."
"That's not a good reason, either."
Joseph drew himself into a meditative pose to protect his thoughts. He knew his vulnerable points, his shortcomings, when it came to dealing with earthlings. Mainly, he was far too "human" himself. He'd painfully proven that point.
Serena connected with his mind despite his efforts. “I know how you are, Joseph, how you hurt with the pain of a child’s death, even knowing it lasts but a moment. When lovers part, you feel as if it happened to you. I’ve seen you pace with parents as they face an endless night of worry.”
It was true. Joseph was fascinated by all that human beings experienced. “I do wonder where they find their strength.” He knew the answer to that, but they seemed to struggle on, even without benefit of the Knowledge.
Serena smiled. “Remember when you argued in Assembly that the Knowledge should be bestowed upon them?”
“Yes, and my opinion was in the minority. Especially after Adam and Eve squandered their chance.”
Serena waited with an amused expression. Her kindness created an aura for her astounding beauty. Golden curls cascaded to the hem of her gown, and her eyes were as blue as a cloudless summer sky.
"I want to do my share with the earthlings, but I don't think I'm the right guardian for this mission." He'd felt a prickling on the back of his neck ever since he was summoned.
Serena smiled her all-knowing smile. "Oh, but you're wrong, Joseph. You're perfect for this particular assignment. I'm not saying it will be a simple one. Her name is Sharon Quinn."
