Puck shook his head in a disconcerted manner, and then asked, "You mean the Angels?""No" said Jobe, "those freaky Apes that have wings and keep guard at the top of the rock" he sighed.
"Yes" replied Puck a little firmly, "they are Angels alright, just making sure that no one gets lost down in the immeasurable void - for nobody really wants to lose their soul that way, now do they?" Jobe had wished he could have leapt down there on more than one occasion, and shuddered as he felt fate brush past him.
The weight of Puck's words hit hard for he actually believed in what he had just said. He remembered back to gargoyles he had seen in lifetimes past - that were fixed outside Church walls and doors with watchful eyes - they had looked pretty similar to the apes he reckoned ... maybe they were Angels of sorts?
