Thy Will

"Thy Will" is my romance/drama novel concept.

The story follows Azriel, a guardian angel who begins to resent the wishes of his Master and fellow angels concerning humans. 

Having seen enough death and heartache to last him thousands of lifetimes, Azriel can't help but be intrigued by the newest person he has been charged with watching over:  Shamira (this name isn't final).  Azriel watches over Shamira throughout her life as she endures the loss of many friends, family, and other loved ones while still remaining faithful to God in her religious beliefs despite how many people have been taken from her by His angels over the course of her life.  Azriel soon develops feelings for Shamira, wishing he could be there for her.  When Death comes to claim Shamira's father, her only remaining family, Azriel is disgusted with just standing by idly and watching.  Azriel drives away Death against his Master's wishes.  Immediately after the short battle, for a reason unbeknownst to Azriel, Shamira can suddenly see him.  Azriel then does his best to look after Shamira and her father as he accepts, and begins to deal with the dire consequences of his actions.

For the two pages of fiction we had to hand in this week, I wrote the scene where Azriel drives away Death to keep Shamira's father alive.
