Azrael's dilemma is wonderful. I really liked this description of it - As long as a single man yet breathed, Azrael was ordered to protect, yet only his final failure, and the world’s end world would ever see his homecoming. The Creator was merciful, but Azrael never forgot that he served a vengeful God.
Nice use of the prompt and a very wise line. And I liked the way David's initial regret at the passing of time turned into a pleasure in knowing he was stronger than he had been as a child. That final line added a moment of humour which lightened the mood of the whole piece. This is very good. I wish you luck with it.
one small thing... a wingspan of 6 feet is about the same as an adult human's arm span, finger tip to finger tip. Is that a typo? It seems a bit small to me.
