When I grow up, I want to be an Mercurian.
Heaven is a glorious place; a majestic place; a mighty place. Imagine a
reliever opening his eyes for the first time. He is in Heaven, and is full
of awe and respect for what God has done. Imagine how he wanders the
gleaming streets wondering what he should do, how he can contribute to this
amazing place; how he sits in awe watching the pageantry of The Sword or an
open session of the Seraphim Council.
And then a Mercurian sees him, smiles, and greets him by name.
The Mercurians, as "people" angels, are the most accessible choir. While
humans may call them the Friends of Man, in Heaven they might well be called
the Friends of All. To a newly made reliever, heaven will be a bewildering
place (delightful, yes, but still bewildering) and the advice and friendship
of an Intercessionist is a great boon. No matter what choir the reliever
finally fledges as, the Mercurian's friendship will be remembered fondly,
and if possible the friendship maintained.
A friendship with a Mercurian will teach the Reliever a great deal about
their fellow angels, and about the Blessed. Whenever the Reliever needs
advice, his friend will be able to explain the intricacies of relationships
and politics, speeding the fledglings integration into Heaven's ranks. Small
wonder that many choose to become Mercurians themselves, and help others the
way they were helped, when small and weak.
