David: "The archangel Gabriel sold us our first brood mare from his ranch in Arlington, Texas.........we still have that mare and she is my favorite. Abel, any relation to you?"

Though I believe most people would prefer a good horse to an ass David, I, myself would prefer a mule. I would find its' even-temper and sure-footedness comforting. And I know that I can certainly handle irrational stubbornness in sapient animals much better than I can intelligent men.

There are many who claim to be archangels, because they foolishly believe they want to be an archangel. What fool would claim that they will never be a citizen of heaven. That they shall never be as great as the least of you that leaves this place. All archangels envy humans because they have souls and a very few hate you for it.

The Seven are not supposed to know in life that they are archangels. There is less to be gained from the knowledge then what is lost, and that is hope.

Your deluded friend is not a real archangel, just a man that wants to be a hero, and there is nothing wrong with that. And given that there are only seven sentinels charged with walking this entire world, we could use all the help we can get.
