How often does one get a chance to enjoy a beautiful day just relaxing near the ocean. Feeling the breeze coming off the ocean, cooling the skin and invoking a peace within one's self. The sun was shining bright. Golden beams revealing all around. How it made Zagan sick. It wasn't that he was against a nice sunny day or anything of the like. It was the people that made him sick. The weak and helpless were all around. They were allowed to beg on the street and people helped them. What kind of way of life was this. Why should the strong, those that took care of themselves, have to help those that were either too inept or lazy to do the same? This would all change eventually. Zagan even had the crazy notion of even trying to do some about it that second. But now wasn't the time. That would come later, exactly when still wasn't set, but it would come eventually. For now all Zagan needed to do was to scout. He needed to learn the layout of this town. Learn the switch backs, hidden alleys. Learn where the major buildings are and so forth.
"Fruit! Fresh Fruit," the cart vendor shouted, waving an apple high above his head. His constant shout of fresh produce attracted the occasional customer and it didn't go unnoticed by the silver haired angel. A growl long and loud erupted from his mid section and Zagan remembered the most annoying part about being cast from the heavens. While filled with holy grace, angels didn't need to worry about the trivial things mortal had to. Eating, sleeping, defecating, none of those activities were necessary for an angel. But since he had been cast out and his grace taken from him, it had been a daily annoyance for Zagan to have to do any of those. "I'll take three," Zagan offered the man a few jewels and took his fruit. It wouldn't provide him very much sustenance but it would do at least for now. He'd have to go find a proper meal later, but this would work for now at least.
"You Bastard!!!" A shout came from behind the tall angel, from a squat balding fellow that was brandishing a sword. "You won't get away from me this time!" The squat fellow charged, head down and sword point aimed straight ahead. As far as an attack, it was quite a poor one. Zagan simply stepped to the side and let the poor man run straight into the fruit vendor's cart. The blade tip struck the wood, a harder target than the man had expected, and flew out of the man's hand. The strangest part of this was that Zagan had no idea who the man was. He didn't remember ever meeting the man before, nor had he ever seen him as far as he could recall. The flying blade soared through the air, causing a panic among the spectators, people starting to scatter to avoid the falling metal. That led to a man pushing into another man, who pushed into someone else forcing that person to fall into a stand of fish. That person hit the board the fish vendor was using to hold up crates of ice and fresh caught yellowfin crookers. Those flew through the air and landed all over the Fruit Vendor's cart and onto Zagan.
The smell filled Zagan's nostrils. He hated fish. Hated! Now not only did he have fish lying all around him, but he smelled of fish as well. "I get you eventually Drake, I swear my Sarah shall be avenge." The squat man, spat at the angel's feet and took off running. Zagan would have killed the man if he hadn't been so surprised by first the fact he was covered in fish and second he had no idea what the man was talking about.
