Grace and Choice- Prologue

Years ago, there was a war between two worlds. Every man and creature from Elsa fought against the angels of Gladren. The angel world was shunned by the others because of its brutality and hatred, but they went too far when they attacked two villages in Hynix, the world neighboring Elsa. Eager to assist their friends, the inhabitants of Elsa and the remaining of Hynix fought against the angels with all their strength. The war lasted three years, after which the angels were finally surrounded. From the ranks of the Elsan army appeared the high mage, Airon. He vowed, on behalf of the people of Elsa and Hynix, that the angels would be spared, under one condition: the threat of the angels would be under the control of the Wellborns of Elsa. The angels agreed, and there, in the main sanctuary of Gladren, almost every angel was frozen in stone, and most were thought to stay there for many years.
The threat of angels was, indeed, controlled by the men of Elsa. It was prophesied that only a number of the sons of the warriors who fought that battle could change the fate of the angels. These numbered men are called Wakers, for they alone have the power to undo the spell on the angels; they alone can wake them from their sleep in stone. The only angels spared from this fate were the high council and a few others. The angels of the council were each stripped of their wings and left, almost forgotten by Elsa. In the other world, Wakers were being trained to do their job, and one by one, slowly as ever, angels were allowed to be freed of the spell. 
So, where do I come in? 
Hello. My name is Nessa Aine. I'm an angel. I fought in the war. I was awakened from the curse, and I know the angels' secret.
