Author's Note

This story is a collection of smaller snippets and excerpts from Anon-A-Miss: The Archangel Father.

It also takes place in an alternate universe where God never yanked Zarachiel back to Heaven. As well as a timeline where Sunset never rebels aganst her mother Princess Celestia and never goes to the Human Equestria.

-PrinceOfDarkness.

Angel With A Shotgun.

Long ago, at the start of the universe, there was nothing, and then there was something.

After that God and His wife Ashera came into existence. Soon, their many angelic children.

For many millenia, they were happy in their home of Heaven. God took up a hobby, a pet project He called 'Humanity'.

But things change, don't they? Samael became rebellious, desiring Free Will, and fought against his family, causing one third to rally with him.

He and his fallen siblings lost the war, all of whom were brutally slaughtered by Azrael's blade. Samael was judged by his father and condemned to rule Hell for all eternity. Samael renounced his birth name and changed it to Lucifer.

One of his other brothers, Zarachiel, was thrown out of Heaven alongside his brother. However, Zarachiel, due to God's blinded rage, was sent to another reality.

Zarachiel ended up in Equestria during the Summer Sun Celebration. He'd befriended the princesses and started to date Princess Celestia.

Their relationship went from days which soon turned into weeks. Those weeks soon turned into months, and those months soon turned into years

Eventually, Zarachiel and Princess Celestia consumated and soon Celestia was pregnant with their child. A nephilim pony alicorn. Their child would get their horn from their mother's genes and their wings from their father.

A year later, their child was born during a sunset which they named the child after.

What the archangel and alicorn didn't know was that Zarachiel's father, God, had planned it all along. He planned to show Zarachiel how to rule a kingdom when it came time for Him and His wife to eventually retire.

Zarachiel looked down at his wife in the hospital bed. The white alicorn held their infant daughter. The foal had kournikova fur, a red and yellow mane and beautiful blue eyes like her father. As soon as she saw their baby girl for the first time, they immediately fell in love with her.

The Archangel of Life felt a tear trickle down his cheek as he stared at his baby girl. She was so beautiful, reminding him of the beauty of his former home. Heaven. His aura and Celestia's magical signature both overlapped each other as they formed a glowing outline around the filly.

She stared at her husband, tears of joy and love in her eyes as she rocked their sleeping daughter.

"What shall we name her, Zarachiel?" Celestia asked softly, her voice low as to not wake their child from her slumber.

The Archangel of Life thought about names. He looked out the window towards the sunset, contemplating a name for his little fledgling.

He stared at the orb as it lowered, immediately thinking of a name.

"Sunset. Named after the setting sun. She will do so many great things. I just know it, Celly." Zarachiel crooned lovingly towards his daughter and wife. He kissed Sunset's forehead, reminding himself of where her tiny and blunt horn was.

The redhead unicorn opened her eyes and stared at her father, babbling sleepily as she nuzzled him instinctively. The Archangel of Life felt a lump form in his throat as he stared down into the pools of blue that gazed back at him.

Sunset cooed and fell back asleep in her father's arms. His aura soothed her as she slept in his arms.

Zarachiel kissed Sunset's cheek, tears in his eyes.

"I will never leave you, Sunset. I promise. I will always be here for you, no matter what." The Archangel of Life promised, gently rocking her in his arms as he hummed to her. He sang in the ancient language of Enochian, a language all angels knew how to speak.

Soon, the royal couple and their child had been taken back to Canterlot Castle. The family of three were in Celestia's and Zarachiel's room. Sunset lay between them as the Archangel of Life wrapped a giant, feathery wing around her. The limb provided warmth, darkness and softness. His body was indestructible and could only die by Azrael's Blade Of Death.

As they and Sunset got into bed, God appeared before them. A few angels behind Him. All of whom Zarachiel knew.

"Hello, Dad." Zarachiel spat, wanting his father to leave and never return. All he wanted was to be by his wife and daughter's side.

"Zarachiel, it has been far too long and I have many things I need to say to you. Will you let me? I promise I will leave you alone afterwards. You deserve happiness, son." God said sadly, staring at His son.

He, at first, had never liked Free Will. It complicated His omniscience, which terrified Him, acting as the reason why He never wanted His angels to have it. After He had seen it used by humans, He had seen His error in judgement. He had been aware of Zarachiel's life in Equestria. He'd planned it. His son's rebellion was part of the plan, as was sending Zarachiel to Equestria.

The Archangel of Life went silent at his father's words. Why was he here? To torture him? To kill his wife and daughter?

God read His son's thoughts, saddened and horrified by how His son felt.

"I would never do that to you, son. She being born and you coming to this world were part of the plan." God explained slowly, watching His son's expression morph from anger, to shock, then sadness and back to anger.

"Why? Why would you kick me out? All I and Samael truly wanted was Free Will, the ability to make our own judgements and choices. But no, you refused and kicked us out because of it." Zarachiel snarled angrily, his wings flared above his back.

God watched and felt his heart break. He had no doubt that His son would be angry with Him. He had every right.

"I cast you and Samael away because I wanted the both of you to learn how to rule a kingdom. Samael has ruled Hell, and it is fair and just. Your way of ruling here is fair and just. You are a wonderful ruler, as is your brother. You're both savvy in a way that your siblings will never be unless they let go of their rigid views of the world. Azrael, Amenadiel and Castiel are all far ahead of that. I am truly sorry, son. For casting you out and hiding the real reason." God replied gently, saddened by what His son thought of Him.

Zarachiel tried to wrap his head around it all. He had been kicked out just to learn how to rule? That was it? Zarachiel was even more angry with his father.

God heard His son's thoughts and looked at him sadly. That wasn't the only reason.

"I also sent you here to find love, to learn what love is and what it feels like to be loved in a way that is different from parental love. I knew your daughter would be born. She will be the balance of both worlds. Heaven and Equestria. I am sorry that I never told you, Zarachiel. I believed it was for your own good. I see now that I made a mistake. You are happy here and I don't intend on taking that away from you." God explained, watching His son. He knew that Zarachiel may never trust Him again because of His arrogance and pride.

"Y-You mean that I-I was meant to be here? That I can stay with my wife and my daughter?" Zarachiel asked, his throat tight as he felt a rush of emotions. Anger, hatred, sadness, relief, joy and betrayal.

"Yes, my son. That is correct. I am sorry, for not telling you sooner." God spoke sadly. He knew that Zarachiel would probably never want to be anywhere near Him. God couldn't blame His son for how he felt.

"I believe our...confrontation has lasted long enough already. Even for immortal, timeless beings such as ourselves, millenia of no contact is far too long. We are family. I cannot express how much I have missed you in the Silver City, Zarachiel. Each day felt like a century. And I cannot tell you how much I wished to take you back. I have quenched my anger and nothing but sorrow emerged many, many eons ago, and all that is left is the desire to put this behind us." God explained, tears in His eyes.

"You really think that after all those years, he'll forgive you just like that?" Celestia growled, getting up as she flew and stood in front of Zarachiel. She flared her wings protectively, not wanting to lose her husband.

"I will not take him by force, I simply wish for him to return home. He may return whenever he wants, even if it's just to visit." God replied softly, not willing to risk His daughter-in-law's wrath.

Their discussion and Zarachiel's anger had disturbed Sunset, waking her up. The now distressed infant whimpered and cried, triggering Zarachiel's fatherly instincts as he rocked his daughter back to sleep. God looked down at the unicorn foal and smiled warmly.

He looked over at Zarachiel, a warm and gentle smile on His lips as he gazed at His son.

"May I hold her?" He asked, wanting to hold His granddaughter. He wanted to be in her life and be there for her. She would be immortal, like Him, her parents and her divine family. They were unable to die of age. He knew it would cause problems for her in the future.

Zarachiel looked to his wife, who nodded and smiled. She wanted her husband to rebuild the bond with his father. This was the perfect opportunity. Not to mention that she had wanted to meet her father-in-law.

Zarachiel eventually nodded, giving permission. He gently handed Sunset over to her grandfather, who moved His arms to cradle the amber filly within them.

"Look at you, my beautiful granddaughter." God cooed lovingly at the foal who slept as His aura kept Sunset in a light sleep, strengthening the aura that flowed through her body. He could sense that her wings were still growing and would require a year longer before they were ready to unfurl and grow.

Zarachiel noticed how gently his father held Sunset, rocking her as he doted over her. Zarachiel observed the look on his father's face, one he'd been on the recieving end of, once upon a time. Back when he himself was an infant in the arms of his father and mother.

Zarachiel came out of his thoughts as his father handed Sunset back to him.

God felt pleased at meeting His grandchild. It would be a rocky road, mending the bond with His son. He handed Sunset back to Zarachiel, who held his daughter ever so gently.

Jophiel squealed quietly as she looked at her baby brother, her eyes asking for permission to hold Sunset. Zarachiel rolled his eyes as he nodded, handing the amber unicorn to her aunt.

Jophiel adjusted her arms as she cooed and sang to her niece. The muse gently swayed to her tune, keeping Sunset asleep as she sang and danced to the melody she'd created.

Eventually, Jophiel finished the melody and handed the amber filly back to Zarachiel as he gently laid Sunset in her crib. The Archangel of Life tucked her in, making sure she'd be warm and comfortable enough for the night.

God placed a hand on Zarachiel's shoulder, squeezing it gently, showing His support.

"If you ever wish to visit, I'll be waiting. Your wife and daughter are also welcome to visit anytime." God said. He wanted His granddaughter to visit Heaven from time-to-time as she grew up.

Remiel walked over and stared at her niece, smiling warmly. She would never dare harm her own flesh and blood. Sunset would be left alone and unharmed.

She turned to Zarachiel, her double-sided spear in her left hand.

"Sunset has my protection, big brother. I promise you that if anyone dares to try and harm her, they will find themselves not being shown mercy." Remiel said, hugging her older brother as both siblings made up for what happened in the past.

God teleported the three of them away, leaving Celestia, Zarachiel and Sunset in peace.

Husband and wife climbed into bed as Celestia used her magic to grab Sunset and tuck her between their bodies, making sure she was safe and warm enough as she slept.

Soon enough, both Zarachiel and Celestia fell asleep in one another's embrace.
