"Luna, come." The man who spoke turned the next instant, his grand wings filling the slime's view for no more than a moment before he left. His stride was confident, maybe even a bit arrogant, and he never looked back once to confirm whether his charge had followed or not. He really didn't need to. This was the moment she'd been waiting for, the answer to whether her right to exist would be confirmed or denied.
Luna's path was taken through what remained of a simple forest village, the forest slowly reclaiming its lost ground yet hesitating as each building still remained fairly intact. And for good reason. The angels that lived there would not enjoy having their roofs collapse over their heads. So the forest merely crept forward, a vine or two crawling along a wall and joining with others lucky enough to push through. It gave each building a rather distinct feeling that it was actually alive, and though some of those vines were reprimanded for trying to reach through an open window the few angels that lived here were rather enamored with the thought of nature waiting for them the moment they stepped outside.
But as much as she may wish to admire the view around her Luna's guide was not the patient sort. His pace felt like it was pulling her forward, and soon enough she was led into a large clearing seemingly filled with the divine hosts. "Welcome, Luna." And at the center stood a rather impressive sight, even among the various celestial figures gathered. Perhaps it was the simple robe that shimmered with the very warmth of life, the fabric hugging that body so tightly as to reveal the angel's every curve without appearing as some obscene display that was so wildly flaunted by any number of lesser beings. Perhaps it was the simple smile that adorned the woman's face, one that would promise love and joy and any number of fuzzy emotions only to be overdone by the silky smooth voice that flowed from her lips and could bring any man to their knees. But more than likely it was because of the wings. They weren't the pure white that shone through the darkness and brought light to the world. These were yellow. No gold. No, they shimmered between the two, the light that sprang forth more intense than the sun yet somehow gentle enough to let one see the world for the magnificent wonder that it truly was. "We bring you good news!"

"Squishy! Wake up!" An insistent poking at her mass could only be one thing, and once Luna decided to open her metaphorical eye she would find an almost disgustingly cute face smiling down at her. "Squishy~" Followed immediately by a gloved finger poking into her slime only to watch it bounce back into place. A few strands of silver hair managed to fall free of the small helmet the girl wore, how such long hair even managed to fit inside the thing was a mystery in itself, and as they fell they managed to tickle Luna's outer layer before the girl finally righted herself and waited.
"Come on! Time to get up!" Luna would know that tone by now, and if she didn't listen to Valaria soon she would be subjected to even more degrading poking until she did. It was a wonder to think this girl was actually an angel. She definitely looked like it, the silver in her hair shimmered with divine power, and same glow and color radiating in the girl's eyes as well as her wings, and though she chose to wear armor instead of the simple clothes her race was known for the rather vibrant blue was a fitting match for the look of a divine warrior.
But the way she acted was a little...odd... When they'd first met Valaria turned toward her tutor and asked a simple question, "Do I destroy the slime?" She hadn't even waited for an answer before Luna found a massive hammer appearing in the angel's hands and quickly descending to scatter Luna in an explosion of slimy bits. But quick intervention prevented that from happening. "What? I can't smash it? What if I whack it? Bop it? Give it a little love tap? Can I at least poke it? Pleeeeaaaase?" The angel in training wouldn't be satisfied without at least laying a finger on the strange creature, and once she finally heard her task she saluted and accepted it with a grace that could only be Valaria. "Okay, I will watch over Squishy and protect her with my life!"
And that is how Luna earned her nickname and a protector. Maybe overseer would be more appropriate. The pair had returned to the world, Luna spirited back to the temple where she was found with angel trainee Valaria hot on her heels. From that point on she was told to simply live. Heaven was rather curious in the discovery of a rather conscientious slime, especially considering how most others were mindless machines, and the possibility arose that a new sentient race could be on the verge of emerging into their world. They wanted to see to what purpose this new race would serve, and Valaria was assigned to observe every little thing that Luna did and report her findings. Thankfully that had been rather uneventful up to this point, but Valaria was starting to go a little stir-crazy. She started expressing a wish to venture out and see the world, and by the look in her eye at this very moment that desire would be thrust in Luna's face in just a few more moments.
