The first 200 lines.
When God created man a jealous Lucifer
mounted a great rebellion in heaven.
His army of angels was defeated
and forever banished from paradise.
These angels the fallen abandoned Lucifer
choosing to live on earth among the pleasures of humans.
They took mortal wives and fathered abominations
children called Nephilim: by the power of angels
with the souls of man.
Angry the Creator flooded the earth
killing the Nephilim and driving the fallen into hiding.
He sent the Powers fierce warrior angels
to hunt those who survived the flood.
but there was hope for the fallenn a prcy.
A Nephilim would be born who would redeem them
and return them to paradise.
So the fallen watched... and waited.
Tom?

Hello Fallen.
Verchiel.
You look like you were expecting someone.
Who was coming to visit you Samchial?
No one Your Worship.
Look we find you
lying to us.
What's that in your hair?
Is it gray?
I think you've been hanging around these monkeys for too long.
Did you really think
that you could hide yourself behind all this magic?
I mean what good are runes
when you show yourself by your actions?
It's very sloppy.
Maybe you're sick of this realm.
Or maybe you actually feel remorse for your actions
and you've decided to turn yourself in.
I have paid for my transgressions. You've paid?
Being exiled to this planet is far from payment
for what you did my friend.
Your kind has yet to be punished.
By whom? You and your fanatic followers?
You're not enacting the will of the Creator.
You're on your own crusade to destroy those
whom you know were loved more by the Creator.
Silence!
Prepare yourself for your judgment Fallen.
Yaah!
Only the Creator can judge.
Wait!
Oh! You fool!
He was hiding something and you destroyed it!
Mom let it go.
There are plenty of kids out there
who call their parents by their first names.
Besides Dr. Jonas says
that it's common for older adopted children
and it doesn't mean
that Aaron's not bonding with us.
No Mom Tom and I don't need a second opinion.
We're happy working with Dr. Jonas.
Besides Aaron trusts him.
Oh! It's okay Stevie. Sorry.
I-- No it's okay.
I just touched Stevie without telling him.
And I think you're wrong
about forcing Aaron to call us Mom and Dad.
You know he's been through more
than you or I could ever understand.
Oh here he is now Mom.
Yeah.
She wants to wish you a Happy Birthday.
Hey Marge--
Grandma.
A white button-down shirt slacks and loafers.
Yeah. Mm-hmm.
Okay. I will.
Okay. Thanks. Bye.
She wanted to make sure I was dressed right
to meet the school recruiters.
Oh well I officially apologize for my mother again.
It's no big deal. Don't sweat it.
So you're legal now.
Are you sure you don't want to play hooky today?
We could go and vote enlist in the Army
or--ooh--you could see an "R"-rated movie.
No thanks anyway. I got a big test in math
and I got to practice for the meet on Saturday.
Oh. Headache.
You're not doing any dumb jock stuff
like starving yourself for the wrestling meet?
Uh with my metabolism I don't have to.
Lucky dog.
Hey bro. How's it going?
Hey.
You're the only one that--
- he does that with. - He does that with.
Well Stevie and I have an understanding. Right bro?
Oh hey Stevie leave Aaron's ring alone.
That's okay. He can play with it.
Hey Stevie I got to get going.
I'm gonna hand you over now okay?
Hey Stevie Mama's gonna take you from Aaron okay?
Oh no. It's okay.
We got to let Aaron get to school right?
Yeah we're gonna have some fun today
aren't we? Hmm?
Hey no it's a good thing
that he responds so well to you right kiddo?
Yeah. You go to school. We're fine.
I told you. I don't know what you're talking about
we know youre master was part of a system
that protects the fallen angels and their offspring
where are the records?
She knows nothing. Dispose of her.
wait wait
sometimes I woould see hime
he would stand in front of the markings. on the wall
show me where
here
He has hidden them behind the runes.
You have done well.
We have no more need of you.
Very clever Samchial.
The abominations--we can track them down and des--
What's that?
It's North America.
It looks like Massachusetts.
Damn him!
He rigged it.
You think?
Samchial's not alone in this.
He was expecting someone else.
Find out who it is
and let me know before the others do.
Corbett-hole.
