there is a strange solidarity to protest, heaven and hell learned. The human's ability to form their own opinions inevitably meant they would eventually disagree with each other on matters. The first time it happened, both sides stopped to see what would happen - what the Almighty, blessed or cursed be their name, would do.
after all, it's what split heaven in two in the first place.
the almighty ultimately did nothing at all, leaving the humans to squabble it out. sometimes they found reconciliation int heir ideas, mostly they did not.
but... even then, many times they still went right along living besides each other anyway. the Hoards and Host alike where dumbfounded.
no wonder, they both would decide, that earth became such a violent, war ravaged world - allowing people to keep dissenting options without punishment. what was the Almighty thinking?! as awful as the war and Fall had been, at least it had given relative peace to both realms. everyone knew their place now, and they certainly knew better than to entertain /ideas/ or /options/
The Almighty does not make mistakes, but this 'free will' business of Hers was a sorry, messy experiment to watch, and the End could not come soon enough.
in the middle of it all, though, field agents for both sides where moved by how passion at humans would get about /ideas/, often around what they viewed as gross miscarriages of justice. how vocal, and even physically, they would argue to what they believed to be a betterment to society, on both sides. as removed preternatural entities, it was often hard to gauge with what side, if either, they should be backing, often finding faults in both sides arguments, yet also recognizing that the systems in place where not going to work - even if the suggestions being pushed where just as lopsided.
Still, every time a crowd of heavy emotions gathered, and the humans surges together against each other, angels and demons alike where drawn to it, to both sides.
And... one day, some of them would even start to understand what a marvelous and terrifying thing at Tree of Knowledge had truly been in the end. And even without ever taking a bite themselves, they too would slowly have their eyes open to it by the End.
