There was a swish of wind, and my reflexes took over. A moment later, I found myself holding the shaft of something that looked like a croquet mallet by way of Star Trek. Its head was mere centimeters from mine, and Skuld throttled its handle in a double-fisted deathgrip. "We didn't *Fall*!" she shouted as she tried to free her weapon from my grasp. "No one Fell!"

More seriously, though, I want elaboration on this. It seems to me that the goddesses are still goddesses and not angels or demoted somehow. The above seems to indicate that they weren't pushed into their positions so much as co-opted by agreement. I'm not sure I'm getting across what I'm exactly intending to say here. It's almost like she's about to say, "We chose to do this. It wasn't forced on us!"
