[GABRIEL]

He couldn't say what it was about reciting the prayer his mother had instilled in him as a child that was comforting, since Gabriel didn't consider himself a god-fearing man. Maybe it was her. It would be pretty damn great if she could be around right about now, maybe beat some sense into him or create some kind of concoction to finally chase off the headache, but it had been...years. "Venga a nosotros Tu Reino, hágase Tu Voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo." Gabe wasn't going to collapse by the time he got there. He was fine. He just needed to get there, wait a bit, check on Harland, and haul ass back to The Ascendants before he had another time lapse and lost hours. So many holes in his memory. He couldn't even remember what he did this morning, could he? There was...something. Yeah, great, real specific. "Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día..." Fuck, okay, stopping for a moment. Exhaling, the hybrid leaned heavily against the tree, ducking his head low. It seemed like the farther he walked, the more intense the throbbing, and at this point, he was fighting sparks out if his vision.

"Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden." He pushed himself slowly off the trunk, resuming his trek, and he was only distantly aware of his drooping wings, tips dragging in the sand. Inhale. Exhale. Try not to throw up or pass out. Repeat. "No nos dejes caer en la tentación, y líbranos del mal." Gabe dropped down to sit, frame lolling forward, and with a bitten back hiss he forced his muscles to straighten. "Amén."

He shivered. Why the fuck was he so cold? Maybe he did have a brain tumor or some shit. Wouldn't surprise him. "'M just here to check on Har." Was he going to bring him back? Probably not. Firstly, they wouldn't allow that, because when did people ever release children they took, and secondly, The Ascendants was...off. Probably better for him to stay here.
