A wave of black mist darted out from Uriel's arm that was now covered in black vines, it engulfed Mikael wholly. It made anyone who looked at it shiver in fear. The apostles who were apart of the seal were included. They glanced up at their creator, their eyes flickered with awe at his power. The black mist seemed to almost have a consciousness of its own as it moved hungrily. It's stagnant aura pervaded through the air as if searching for more prey.

Uriel stared at the black mist that was consuming Mikael. It was now done. Before his arrival, Uriel had still been in Maon. When he was alerted that Mikael's location had been found, he commanded the apostles to capture Mikael alive. If not, they would have sent out attacks and have killed Mikael already.

Then Lucifer had come barging into his plans. It wasn't something bad, and could actually be considered a blessing in disguise. He had the apostles sit on the sidelines not because they acknowledged Lucifer and Mikael, but because they were waiting. Waiting for the 'condemnation' to begin. Lucifer would be that one straw that would break the camel's back.

Everything Uriel had done so far, would be all for this moment.

He needed Mikael to fully blacken so that he could consume all of his sins, and in doing so he would be completing his main task. The disappearance and release of Abel and Cain, the death of his false prophet, Asher, and the avoidance of his so called 'visions' for Solomon were all of Uriels doing to assist the blackening Mikael. The day he took Cain and Asher, he had taken some of Kasimir's demonic aura to use as bait as his was essentially the same as Lucifer's.

He understood Mikael's character well enough that he was like a child. If things weren't going to go his way, he would start a tantrum. He also didn't like it when his things were taken.

This war was inevitable, he only pushed it up forward so that it would happen sooner. In doing so, he would anger Mikael even more. If he was destined to die because he could not OOC and kill off the troublesome Mikael, he would at least try to protect the ones that he loved.

He could not bear to see his loved ones be toyed around by Mikael, so he intentionally blocked Mikael from being able to interfere with them.

After meeting his loved ones, Uriel did his first act of OOC. Knowing how the original Uriel was like, there was no way that he could escape from doing what he could to stop Mikael. That one imprint was too much on the original Uriel, who sought to protect his brothers. So the current Uriel found a loophole in the world's rules. He placed both sleeping Kasimir and Adriel in the same room when he made an oath to them.

"I, Uriel, son of God shall become your shield, your sword, and your armor. Never shall you see the doors of the Netherworld. Forever shall my soul guard and protect you until it ceases to exist and perishes. My oath hold truth as the Heavens and my Father shall bear witness to this."

It would bind to the both of them without the full consequences of OOC, as the current Solomon held no malice, no signs of him overcome with madness as his previous kin due to Mikael's visions. He was not deemed as an enemy. The original Uriel's nature upheld every oath that he made, and the current Uriel took advantage of that trait. Once he took a step into the abyss there was no turning back. This was the start of the countdown; the first instance where a part of his soul was ripped out. The start of his soul devouring.

Uriel was unfazed that he was going lose part of his soul. He would follow through with his oath to the end, no matter how painful or difficult it was; he would be the 'Bearer of Thy Oath'.
