      Angels on Guard - Christa J. Kinde

      STORY SUMMARY

      Even after three years, Prissie Pomeroy’s guardian angel understood only part of what it meant to watch over one precious life. The rest he learned on the day he almost lost her. In this companion story to the Threshold Series, scars are bared, fears begin and end, and angels fall.

      "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be an apple blossom?" Ephron asked.

      The two Guardians sitting atop the Pomeroys’ barn traded a long look over their teammate’s head. Taweel’s expression pleaded for mercy, and his apprentice took pity. With a bemused smile that stretched the long scar running down his right cheek, Tamaes replied, No. Have you?

      Oh, yes. The Observer’s green eyes took on a dreamy quality. To spend the first days of your life as a pink bud, only to explode into glorious white on a spring morning when the air is soft and the sun is warm. To find that your scent is sweet, to mourn when your petals fall, to learn that your life will bear fruit.

      To Tamaes’s surprise, his burly mentor grunted an affirmative. But Taweel’s gaze wasn’t trained on the surrounding orchard’s froth of pink and white. He was watching three-year-old Prissie. Tamaes stole a glance at the little girl whose name had come under his hand. Baby-fine hair was already wisping out of a pair of short braids, and she paused in her play to push impatiently at the straying tendrils. It was cute. Catching himself, Tamaes turned away. I never gave much thought to flowers.

      Ephron tucked a strand of long, silvery-blond hair behind one pointed ear. Too bad. Small things are worth pondering.

      Omri sat up and stretched his translucent wings with a whir that ruffled the tufts of Taweel’s thick, black hair. The little yahavim blinked his faceted eyes and hummed inquiringly.

      Tamaes’s lips quirked. Did you think we were talking about you, Omri?

      The tiny angel who never strayed far from Taweel gave his long yellow ponytail a flip, then dove for cover as another member of their Flight rushed up from behind. Milo threw his wings wide as he spun to face them, his bare feet sliding across old shingles as he braked.

      Ephron laughed lightly. Are all Messengers in such a hurry?

      Usually. Especially if they’re carrying good news! To the two warriors, Milo said, It’s that time of the rotation: the changing of the Guardians.

      While Taweel and Tamaes stood, unfurling their wings, Ephron asked, "In what sense is this news good?"

      Milo replied, "While those two stalk the perimeter, it’s my turn to show you around! A handful of us are gathering in the loft, and everyone’s excited to meet you."

      "Will there be
