The Story opens with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God God] discussing the need for greater warriors to stave off the forces of [[Hell]], as the residents of Hell now outnumber those of Heaven. He predicts that the war brought on by the leaders of Hell ([[Lucifer]], [[Satan]], and [[Lotus]]) would eventually move to [[Etrah]] as well as the gates of Heaven itself. He then charges four of the five Archangels: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archangel_Gabriel Gabriel], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archangel_Michael Michael], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archangel_Raphael Raphael], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uriel_%28archangel%29 Uriel], with creating new and more powerful Guardians of the Gate. (The fifth archangel, [[Azrael]], never created a Warrior Angel.) Gabriel created [[Hydrodurus]] (Angel of Water), Michael created [[Pyrodeus]] (Angel of Fire), Raphael created [[Gisichros]] (Angel of Earth), and Uriel created [[Ventusamplus]], the Angel of Wind. This would even the balance of power from a strong advantage for [[Hell]] to a level playing field. However, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God God] desired the balance to be tipped in Heaven's favor. He created four additional Warrior Angels of his own volition: [[Cryodivus]] (Angel of Ice), [[Fulminerus]] (Angel of Lightning), [[Silexops]] (Angel of Stone), and [[Aurumagnus]] (Angel of Gold).

Four of the five archangels, along with God, create eight Warrior Angels, powerful Guardians of the Gate whose power is independent of Heaven's gates, to counteract the growing power of Hell's forces. Upon Lucifer's realization that the Warrior Angels exist, he counters with five [[Sons of Plunder]]. While formulating a strategy against these new foes, the Warrior Angels stumble upon the rite of [[Magres Xerfal]], but do not have the time to study it fully. The Sons of Plunder appear on Etrah, but are dispatched with remarkable ease by the Warrior Angels.

Upon their creation, the eight Warrior Angels begin training by sparring with one another to learn how to use their powers, test their physical limitations, and augment their abilities with their powers or those of their fellow Warrior Angels. After an initial sparring session, Pyrodeus suggests that, with the help of the other Warrior Angels, he could build a Forge allowing him to create weapons for the Warrior Angels. With the assistance of the others, [[Pyrodeus' Forge]] was built with self-repairing walls of great strength and a set of doors that can be magically sealed upon closing.

After their victory, the Warrior Angels join the party on Etrah celebrating victory. [[Aurumagnus]] left with [[Ventusamplus]] to attempt Magres Xerfal, while [[Pyrodeus]] left the party in the company of Etrahn warrior woman [[Tamina]]. (This encounter would later prove to be the conception of [[Visignis]].) During this time, the Sons of Plunder receive full power (they had fought at only half their strength before, part of Lucifer's plan to distract the Warrior Angels) and return to Etrah.

[edit] Synopsis

Warning: Spoilers below.


Four of the five archangels, along with God, create eight Warrior Angels, powerful Guardians of the Gate whose power is independent of Heaven's gates, to counteract the growing power of Hell's forces. Upon Lucifer's realization that the Warrior Angels exist, he counters with five Sons of Plunder. While formulating a strategy against these new foes, the Warrior Angels stumble upon the rite of Magres Xerfal, but do not have the time to study it fully. The Sons of Plunder appear on Etrah, but are dispatched with remarkable ease by the Warrior Angels.

After their victory, the Warrior Angels join the party on Etrah celebrating victory. Aurumagnus left with Ventusamplus to attempt Magres Xerfal, while Pyrodeus left the party in the company of Etrahn warrior woman Tamina. (This encounter would later prove to be the conception of Visignis.) During this time, the Sons of Plunder receive full power (they had fought at only half their strength before, part of Lucifer's plan to distract the Warrior Angels) and return to Etrah.

Aurumagnus is killed by Magres Xerfal, the transfer of energy made fatal by a mistake in the ceremony. Ventusamplus, stricken with grief, does not leave the Sacred Altar of Divine Power until summoned. Hydrodurus and Silexops are possessed by Ruentomors and Iterophasmos, respectively. With Pyrodeus still with Tamina, the remaining Angels are outnumbered. Eventually the remaining Warrior Angels gather, destroying the Sons of Plunder but with only three Warrior Angels surviving the battle. Fulminerus is later killed by a failed attempt at Magres Xerfal. Cryodivus succeeds and disappears soon after, leaving Pyrodeus as the only surviving Warrior Angel actively defending Heaven.
