For thou wilt light my candle;
the LORD my GOD will
enlighten my darkness

Hello, I am DragonInAPiBox. :3
You may recognize me from the fanclub
here on CS, although I only go on there
once in a while. When I do, I usually
keep up with posts pretty well. :3 Even
if I don't post, I almost always stalk!
You may also recognize me from the other
#100 contest. At first I felt more attached
to him, but when I didn't win...well I still
love him but I got a RU. Even with this
being my last adult slot, I would love it
to be occupied by Gabriel. <3
Strong Tower - Kutlass wrote:When I wander through the desert
And I'm longing for my home
All my dreams have gone astray
When I'm stranded in the valley
And I'm tired and all alone
It seems like I've lost my way
I go running to your mountain
Where your mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower
Shelter over me
Beautiful and mighty
Everlasting King
You are my strong tower
Fortress when I'm weak
Your name is true and holy
And Your face is all I seek
In the middle of my darkness
In the midst of all my fear
You're my refuge and my hope
When the storm of life is raging
And the thunder's all I hear
You speak softly to my soul
Gabriel
Ga-bri-al
I would name this lovely jewel Gabriel.
The name Gabriel is of Hebrew and Hungarian origin.
The meaning of Gabriel is "God is my strength".
I chose this name, because clearly, this jewel is
an angel. Yes, angels are gazed upon as being female.
But, not a single angel in the Bible is female. Not
Gabriel, not Michael, not any other angel mentioned
in this wonderful book.
Gabriel is the most well-known named angel to
appear in Scripture. Each time He is mentioned,
we see him act as a messenger to impart wisdom
or a special announcement from God. In the
book of Daniel, Gabriel appeared to the prophet
Daniel in order to explain some visions God gave
Daniel about the end times

Male
Masculine
This Jewel Mane Dragon is completely male
in my eyes. Not only are his simple, yet
wonderful designs...not necessarily feminine,
but giving off a male impression strong enough
for me to see Gabriel as male, angels are all
men.
As I explained somewhat in the 'name' section,
all angels in the Bible are referred to as male.
Why this is, I'm not sure. But either way, I would
see this jewel as a boy. Even if there were girl
angels, Gabriel is a he to me. <3
Over a Thousand
You wanna know the truth?
No one but God himself knows how old the Earth is,
how long tome has gone on, even when the world
will end.
There's no way scientists can tell you and be 100% right.
Sorry if you don't agree with me, but I also disagree
with evolution and the big bang.
I know for a fact the world isn't billions or trillions
of years old, but Gabriel has been here since God
himself created angels. I believe, rather than
millions or trillions, the world is instead
thousands of years old.
There is no proof, but it is more logical to what I
believe that that evolution.....stuff. ^^;
I can't say how old the universe is, but I know
it is over a thousand, but most likely not
yet a million. It is only logic Gabriel is too!

Blessed is the one who fears the Lord always,
but whoever hardens his heart will fall into calamity.
Psalms 28:14~
"Gabriel."
I stood up, the multitude of angels gathered around
me singing. I heard this music every day, but even
now I could listen to it for all eternity.
And I will.
As happy as I was, I walked towards the Lord's throne,
a straight expression on my face. There were so many
angels here, to me it's always a surprise when I get
an opportunity like this...I may be one of the head
angels, but still!
What's the occasion, you might ask?
Hate the actions, not the persoN
Gabriel doesn't hate Zagan. Hate is a strong word.
Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or
sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and
sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they
have not seen.
So, Gabriel doesn't hate Zagan. Rather, he loves him.
Not in a homosexual way....as far as Gabriel, and I, are
concerned, homosexuality is wrong.Gabriel loves Zagan
in a brotherly way, but that doesn't mean he has to agree
with what the other jewel does.
It's only natural a demon and an angel are enemies,
but...it's more complicated than that. Gabriel wishes
he could be friends with Zagan, in fact...
Gabriel used to be Zagan's guardian angel, when
of course he was younger. Before Zagan became
a demon, when he was still Jason.
So, Gabriel doesn't hate Zagan. Loves him like
a brother, to tell the truth. Maybe...even like
a son? Gabriel can't help but try to make Zagan
turn back to the nice jewel he once was.
"Repay evil with kindness~" As Gabriel likes to
say whenever someone asks why he doesn't
hate Zagan as much as Zagan hates him.

Well, every time a child is born, he is appointed a guardian angel. In some cases, more than one. Even if he will choose the path of death and destruction, he gets a guardian. I myself have been the guardian of many in my life...but every time it's different. No person is the same.
"Gabriel," He repeated. "You have been one of my most loyal angels, even during hard times. You have proved yourself loyal as a guardian angel. Would you accept the honor of becoming Zagan's guardian angel, until death do you part?"
I couldn't help but smile as I bowed in respect. "Of course, my Lord." I said. God smiled. "I'm glad," I spread my larger than normal wings, not large for a regular angel...but for a jewel mane dragon? You get used to them. As soon as I was dismissed, I half flew, half ran to the gates of Heaven. It was the easiest way out, and even though angels can have fun, I want to contain myself.
~
I was now on Earth.
To any other creature, I appear as one of those jewels that are different. I may be able to hide my halo, but even an angel has his limits. I glanced at my large, feathered wings. Time to find Jason. I told myself, and started walking through the streets.
At first...to most people it would have been a sad place to be...as many homeless people there were. And it was sad, but naturaly as an angel I saw the bright side of the issue. What it was exactly I am unsure of, but I know there was one~.
I kept walking until I came to the place Jason had been born. As an angel, I could make it to where no one could see me....it was just something angels could do. Always watching....may sound creepy but we do it to watch over you.
When I got to the door of the hospital, I told the lady at the desk that I was a friend and that I wanted to see the child. She nodded, asked my name, and then let me through.
When I got into the room, that's when I did my angel stuff. I sat by the bed, looking at the boy I was to protect. "You're safe now, and always will be..." I whispered. "Always, no matter how tough life may seem...." I closed my eyes, and smiled as I touched his nose.
I was always at Zagan's side, who at the time was called Jason, no matter what. I helped keep him safe, wrapped my wings around him. Of course, he couldn't see me....but their were times I knew he could sense me. It was just the way he acted. So stupid....so young...so clueless at times. It always makes me laugh thinking back on it, then I remember how he ended up.
I was with him when he was killed. I knew it was his time to die, my Master told me so. It was so hard for me to stand there, unseen, unheard, watching him get torn apart by those kids! So painful, I almost turned and ran but......I had grown to love him like a son. Not a biological one, but theoretically.
I watched as his wings and tail were set on fire. How he went through so much torture without anyone knowing....I'll never know. I just wish there was something, just something I could've done! I.......but It's too late now......
When Jason was finally dead, I walked over to him and laid down next to his body, which was only kept warm by the fact it had been on fire a moment before. "I'm so sorry..." I whispered, wrapping my wings around his limp body. He looked so fragile, just like he had that first day, as just a wee little baby.
I laid there for a bit, knowing I would never see him in heaven. Because...well....he hadn't invited Jesus Christ, God, into his life. He wasn't a bad kid, but being good wont help him....not even now. A tear rolled down my cheek, and following it came more. More and more and more, I couldn't stop. No one can keep from crying, no one.
With one last goodbye, I turned around. My life on Earth had been eventful, and I couldn't say I wished for something different. But now, it was time to go back to my true home. With a sigh, I opened my wings and flew into the air, disappearing because I one, got to small to see, and two, the sun.
"You did well." God said, and I forced a smile. "Thank you." After that, I have been watching the demon Jason. He now went by Zagan, and I respected that. I didn't have to like what he did, but our years together kept me bonded to him. We see each other occasionally.....but he won't listen to me.

I know you want the winner to have more than just a typical angel for this
jewel, I get that...But, that's what I have decided to do. Now stop.
....
........
But there's more to it than that.
Gabriel would be, in all honesty, a normal angel. But, he's special.
Special in a way that I would love to explain if you keep
reading. <3
--
Gabriel isn't perfect, exactly....no one but God is perfect.
But, he does know a lot. It's only natural for an immortal
being to be wise. His white fur wasn't always white, it used
to be a more....white-sand color. As he grew older, Gabriel's
fur changed color...some of it. But,
it was hardly noticeable. "White comes with age, and age
wisdom." As Gabriel likes to say.
Even if Gabriel is wise, and I'm not gonna lie. It is.....
or I think it'd be, some things he just wants to forget.
Like how he wasn't able to help
Zagan, and all the pains of his past. Being an angel,
Gabriel has to let these things go....but how~?

I'm trading my shame
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

I'm laying it down for the joy of the lord

I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted

Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse for his

That his joy's gonna be my strength
Though the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning
