Ascension

Ascension

Introduction

When an angel ascends to the next plane of power, in most cases to an archangel. It is however possible for archangels to ascend, as being shown by Zhou Lijuan, who after ascending a second time became the archangel of death.

About

Characteristics / Traits

• An ascension is always followed by a monumental phenomenon that is noticed across the world.
• It is however possible to stop an ascension, as shown by Raphael when he stopped Illiums ascension. This however was only possible because of the special bond between Raphael & Illium, and also because this ascension was caused by the Cascade, since a true ascension can't be stopped.

Dangers

- If an angel is too young and his body is not yet strong enough to handle the ascension, he will die.

• When Alexander ascended, Across the world, metal melted, spiraled its way across landscapes, became frozen in strange and beautiful shapes. The sky flashed silver then violent gold with a flickering sheen to it. There was no night. Only a dazzling metallic day.
• When Zanaya ascended, the entire world turned dark in a roar of silken silence as opulent as a panther’s fur and then the sky became luminous, while a melody beyond the ability of any musician to mimic filled the air . . . along with scents as lush as Zanaya’s night.
