Avariel explained to Matthew and Ffyr that her Sister, Nanael, had fallen in love with a human. To be with him, she cast away her wings and lived on Earth with the man. She was happy for a while, but then her husband died and she lost her mind.
Nanael eventually took her own life in grief.
"Can angels die?" Matthew asked upon listening to her story while they were walking. He knew demons were immortal and that they eventually were born again.
"Once an angel casts away their wings, we become mortals, almost humans." Avariel explained.
"So your sister is a Damnata." Ffyr contemplated.
"Yes." Avariel said.
"Can you take out souls from hell and bring them to heaven? Won't the gods be mad?" Matthew asked, while helping Avariel climb a small boulder.
"I don't know about the gods. But our lord is benevolent. I'm sure He will give us grace." Avariel said while spreading her wings to keep balance on the rugged terrain.
