Ry nodded at Aziraphale and sighed for a moment as he glanced at the other angel and tried to gather his thoughts. This was usually something he didn’t care to talk about, the guilt he felt when he killed thousands of humans all those millennia ago. He nodded absently at the other as he closed his eyes in remembrance of the past. “Yes, I’ll tell you the rest of the story,” he agreed as he settled back into the chair and began his tale.
"Lot was truly the only good man I found, despite the fact that he and his family lived there. And I had said that if I could find at least five righteous men, then the cities would be spared. However, what I found most was the wickedness that was rampant amongst the humans there at the time. Men came to Lot’s door, wanting to send their daughters to me, to appease our Lord. I refused because why should I even deign to listen to those men?
"When I told Lot to take his wife and family out of the city and to never look back, I had enough of the bribery and treachery of the people. That night, I called upon the fire and brimstone and God’s righteous fury to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. I killed men and women alike for none could be spared from God’s wrath. However, in the midst of the destruction, I sensed true and pure innocence. I followed the feeling to an orphanage where the most innocent were being held. Children, Az. Innocent children who had never seen the sins and wickedness of the adults. I wasn’t about to kill such things because that was a type of innocence to cherish and treasure. I pleaded with our Father, to at least let the children live. My pleas fell on deaf ears. It was either I gave them a quick death, or the Lord would have sent someone who would have gladly destroyed them."
Ry took in a deep breath and opened his eyes, staring at the other angel with sad eyes. “I had defied our Father and was still made to kill innocents. Afterwards, I found a serpent on the banks of the Nile and raised it, coming to find out later that this serpent was Jormungandr. When Adam and Eve were cast from Eden, despite them having your sword, I gave them my book, the Sefer Raziel HaMalach. It contained the knowledge of God that I had written down over the course of many millennia. I don’t think that I am not…welcome just because of Sodom and Gomorrah, it was a combination of things that just built up over time to have one of our elder brothers, Michael I believe, to cast me from Heaven.”
