Holy -- !! [wait can he say that -- OH MY GOD IT'S FASTER NOW HELP, lavi grips on for dear life but like the entire lower half of his body is tilting off his horse thanks to the force of gravity or however it works,
It's a contract. Constellations like myself are capable of sponsoring those lesser than us- to provide them a boon of sorts. We can offer a share of our abilities, and a Nebula to support them.
It's a broad kind of term- Constellations is what you call all of us, but not all of them are archangels like myself. Sometimes, they're demi-gods, those once human from old legends, a dragon.. and so on.
[ ... ponders on that. ] Something like that? [ SHE GUESSES??? ]
Hmm... Something like the 'Homily on the Archangel Uriel'?
[thinking, then as if he's reciting something from memory]
'A Miracle of the Archangel Uriel Worked for Abba Giyorgis of Gasǝč̣č̣a', where the angel Uriel filled a vessel with the blood of Christ, then sprinkled his blood on different places in Ethiopia.

M'fine. Been through plenty of worse things than this.
Guess it wasn't a children's toy after all.
no subject
Some children would be strong enough to withstand it with a good Sponsorship but, I guess not otherwise.
[ what kinda children... ] Is everything here going to be like that?

What do you mean by 'sponsorship'?
[THAT'S NOT A BIBLICAL TERM]
no subject
[ SPONSORSHIP. ]
no subject
You call yourselves Constellations? And the sharing -- is that like God lending Moses his powers?

So... you gotta be well-known to count as a Constellation?

Those are new to me.
[ seriously, where did he come up with that last one??? ]
no subject
Yeah? Might be because they're not part of Bible. Well, the standard version, anyway. You're pretty important in Ethiopian Orthodox iconography.
[he tilts his head]
...Though, they usually describe you as a guy.
no subject
I'm sure it's the same for my fellow archangels.
[ huh. interesting. ]
Well, as you can see, I'm not.
