 For  GLOGTOBER Challenge 2, created by the esteemed  Locheil Nothic's Eye . The prompt: A small, local God. Well, just small , in this case. What are you going to do, kill me?

You are part of it. Served by the Angels, beings of radiant silver fire that give off no heat or smoke. In its place, two aspects are worshiped: PROVIDENCE, THE CREATOR, THE GIFT-GIVER, THE DAWN KING, THE UNENDING, THE RELENTLESS  The God of creation,
