Riel and the Angels

Riel is an older man when the Angels of the Apocalypse descend, and he knows very clearly that they’re here to turn the wheel.  He sends his generals out to meet them, once it is clear that his army is the exception – he won’t lay down his weapons, and the angels won’t forcibly kill his army.  The angels demand to parley with the Evason only.  They demand that he serve as their agent, and he refuses – he is the agent of Eva, not Patar-ori, and their intervention is unnecessary.  They ask if he will stand in the way of their apocalypse, and he says that he will, so they kill him.
