[ WP ] Demons and Angels when reaching puberty , are assigned a human to torment/protect till their death . This is your first human , however you are hearing rumors from the veterans that this human is on his sixth demon/angel and no one knows what happened to the last five .

Azdrubael, Haradim, Nalesh the Weak, the Unbound and Ur, they have gone. In a rare accord, I was sent to speak with an Emissary of Hell. Two of our own, three of theirs. We suspect infernal trickery, as I'm sure they believe this is part of our ineffable plan. 
 
 I waited at the Gates of Infinity, alone, for the Prince to come. He arrived without his usual pageantry, no hell-horns, no lost souls, not even a chariot of bones. For this was not about posturing, this was about answers. 
 
 `` Ahhh Verity,'' he purred, `` how delightful to see you again. You are as beautiful as the day we left.'' 
 
 `` Highness,'' I said, half-mockingly. `` You are as pleasant and false as the morning you were cast out.'' Though my tone was sharp, I had always had a grudging affection for the Prince. He was a bastard, but he was supposed to be. That was his job until Father's plan reached its next stage. `` You summoned me?'' 
 
 `` I requested your company, yes. We know that your name is not idly borne and you are trustworthy among all your bretheren... and sisteren.'' He chuckled at his own pun. `` Three of our own have disappeared. You know my legions believe they have been taken by you, for reasons unknown.'' 
 
 I began to object but he raised and waved a clawed, manicured hand dismissively. `` I am not of that opinion. I know Daddy's plan's better than most and he is never one to be petty or lie. He's confusing and he does love his lofty speeches... but no, not this.'' 
 
 `` And what of Azdrubael and Haradim, sire? Am I to agree that they are not held as your prisoners, or their threads cut?'' 
 
 `` If I promised to you upon my horns that they were not, would you believe me, darling?'' 
 
 `` I suppose not.'' 
 
 `` I suppose not indeed. And yet?'' 
 
 `` Yes, I never thought they were.'' Verity admitted. 
 
 `` And where do you think they are?'' 
 
 `` Truly, I believe they are on the Mortal Planes.'' 
 
 `` Ahh, you are wise as you are fair. Such is my belief also. And which one?'' 
 
 `` Why do I feel like you're feeding me things you already know?'' 
 
 `` I am good at my jobs, are n't I?'' He smirked. 
 
 Damn, but he was charming, for being the lord of all suffering. 
 
 `` Tell me what you know, old man.'' 
 
 He chuckled good naturedly at that quip. For he was a few billion years older and these younger angels barely past their first epoch were so much more feisty than the older, stuffy brothers he'd fought alongside. 
 
 `` Very well. Your painfully dull cohorts were indeed sent to the Human world, charged with protecting and mentoring one of them.'' 
 
 She was taken aback. `` Two guardians? But why? Who is this person? Has He sent Him back to that world again? He's not due for another sixteen of their Centuries!'' 
 
 `` No, there is no divinity in their human. I have watched him myself. He is not of you, or us, in any way. He is untouched.'' 
 
 `` So you sent three of your own to taint him?'' 
 
 `` Oh, Verity, you are subtle as a bull. No, no, not at all. He did not have two guardians at the same time, nor did he have three saboteurs. You sent one, Haradrim, and he never came back. This peaked my interest, so I sent Ur.'' 
 
 `` And he disappeared?'' 
 
 `` Quite. And now you see the issue?'' 
 
 She nodded. 
 
 `` So, we sent more?'' 
 
 `` And more. And they never reported back.'' 
 
 `` What the heck happened to them, my lord?'' 
 
 `` *Heck? * Come now dear, you can say the word.'' 
 
 `` You're stalling.'' 
 
 `` True. We do n't know. We know that ours made contact, as did yours. 
 
 She knew there was something he was n't telling her. 
 
 `` Luci, tell me everything if you want my help. If you want my honesty.'' 
 
 He grinned at the use of his given name. `` Oh, very well, I never could refuse you. We know that they spoke to him, they tempted him, they whispered in his ear and make great offers and spoke to his inner desires. The usual, really.'' 
 
 `` And then what?'' 
 
 `` He tempted them back. He asked what they wanted.'' 
 
 ``....and?'' 
 
 `` I believe they have renounced their demonhood and now live among the humans. They are beyond my sight now.'' 
 
 She was astounded. Never in all the ages had such a thing happened. She had not even known it was possible. 
 
 `` So, I think it's time you went to meet him.''
