Eight hundred years. A long wait by Earth time, a mere blink in the life of the Spiral Architects.
Tonight the planets would align, a new star to follow, a new beginning in the Universe (or this dull part of it anyway).
On a hilltop, three potheads sat, watching their phones by night.
From the southwest, a brilliant double star illuminated the sunset.
*Whoa dudes! You see that plane, freaky or what?*
Her two companions glanced up through the smoke and agreed that the bright plane lights were indeed way freaky.
Their night, however, was about to get a hell of a lot freakier.
Out of the skunk haze appeared a figure, white and rather feathery, huge wings unfolding, as the Starlight seemed to make the figure glow.
*Fear not* said she, (for mighty dreads had slightly obscured their eyes), *Glad tidings of great joy I bring.. *
Claire pushed back her pink and green dreadlocks, and squinted at the glowing figure.
*Whoa dudes! That frighteningly large chicken just spoke dudes!* She nodded wisely and lit another joint.
*No, seriously, I bring tidings of the birth of….. *
The stoners leant in closer to the glowing figure,
*.... Bwaaak, bwuuk, bukk, bwakkk… *
Debbie asked (quite seriously) if anyone spoke chicken, and passed the spliff around, holding it out to the Archangel, and making soothing clucking noises.
Eight hundred years!
What a bloody waste of a tea break!
The Spiral Architect screwed up the plans, throwing the future salvation of humankind into a nearby black hole, and went off to do something more worthwhile instead.

I feel honored at having created the image of a large chicken. if that was what inspired your story. 
A white chicken, to boot! Was this a subliminal reference to Colonel sanders?

I will be patient.
Some breeds of chicken are very large and very white.

I don't often get to be an inspiration, so I feel honored. Even if my tale seemed disappointingly normal at first. I didn't like being normal all that much either, but I was stuck in a boring place.

I live by that philosophy anyway.
Reality of late has been less pleasant than what I can imagine.

Speaking of angels....
if you want to attract them, put out some harps of gold. The will bend near the earth to touch them.
