Sariel

Sariel's eye sight became narrow like a bird's. It could zero in on the belongings in the apartment. This was his best asset and the reason he was on the force.  Sariel never did anything that would bother his singing voice. It was still daylight yet around 5:00 pm in the evening. Sariel could hear the sounds of animals. He could follow them as quick as they moved with his lightening flash precision. He saw a bird out of the side of his eye. He could hear it but it moved faster than he could see it. The pile of leaves crunched and then fluttered. He moved his head again and saw it jump from the middle of the large trees and hid in the rest. He blasted the leaves gently with his X ray vision, with just enough of power to see the bird, but it knew he was there anyway.

Sariel listened as Uriel started telling the tale of how he found this  guy, who had just been run over. He fell like a rain drop beside the man on the side on the road and bounced over to his hand. He lit up the man’s body like a bolt of lightning. The man woke, with chest pain, and rolled to the other side of the road. He was still stunned. Uriel remembered everything in the man’s mind. He was young, and ran from police and trouble alike,but not too far gone that he couldn't be rehabilitated.

Sariel looked at Ramiel, who was the best at reading people, although he never used his talent. Ragule sat outside on the stoop looking hot and tired. He lost his keys and felt he was going to burst out of those clothes with his large muscular frame. He was not used to wearing suits. Ramiel took a lollipop from his pocket. He snatched the wrapper off and started to suck on it.

Sariel was transfixed. He saw a large eagle grace the blue skies above. He imagined he was back at his home, with the eagles and hawks at his command and wings on his shoulders. He could not communicate, but still had his usual way, song. Plus he had other gifts, of talking to all animals through his mind, which he never used until now. He was left with only this sense his voice was gone. It was large and coasted along the invisible barrier between the heavens that only they could see.

Sariel wandered like a man without a kingdom. His long stringy hair blew in the wind when angered, and nature was at his whim. He was used to the plains and fields. He had a unique place in and out of court. He was first in his master's choir a noble position. He roamed the land in day and night in flight. His eyes were brown, small, and beady. Without his voice he was lost in and around the humans. He had the intelligence of the wild and all of the animals in the world. 

Sariel was always quiet and more so alone. His attitude was sharp but he settled quickly. He had no energy for great displays. The gravity weakened him. He spent more time flying than the others. It was his natural state. Gravity played tricks on him. It crippled his mind and unsettled his gait. He was wary of those who would mistreat animals. 

He was spooked like a bird. He was more animal than the rest of them. His home was in the sky. Gravity had a strange effect on him. He felt as if he was pressed  to the ground. It was another weight on his shoulders. The other was to always appear just and self-righteous. Sariel was always quiet and looked as if he was hiding something. He trusted, talked too much, and otherwise followed people. The quiet were watched  and the blank looks in their eyes were not readable yet silent and leery. He was like a hawk man and knew the minds of the winged well.

The wind blew his hair and he could hear no other sound but that of his brethren miles away. He was not and never was ambitious, and thus was what threatened others as well.  If he closed his eyes he could see himself flying in the skies. He was easily irritated more times than not and could be calmed easily as well.
