OUT INTO THE NIGHT DO TEARDROPS FLOW

 

XVII

 

The rage of the storm that descended on Adam and Eve stopped as suddenly as it began. The fallen children all soaked and covered in mud, lay huddled together under the apple tree, lost in sorrow and grief for their transgression perpetrated against God. Beside them shaking and shivering in a pool of waste, made from its own fear, at the thought of God’s wrath that will be unleashed on it, and all the elementals who played  a part in this calamity, lay also the snake. The garden now defiled awaited judgment.

 

Lucifina, who was the Voice of God said unto Her errant children:

 

Why have you eaten of the rotted fruit and drank from the blood of its blackened root, when it was the one thing that was forbidden to you. You have weighed down your body and spirit with the sins of the world and mortality’s bane. No longer will you bathe in the light of innocence and walk freely without hindrance amongst the blue skies of paradise. You and those that are born from your seed will be cast out into the wilderness, with pain, disease and suffering as your companions. Not even Death will be your refuge: for as your body rots and decays and becomes food for the maggots and your spirit dissipates into the wind, your soul will record the misery of your life, to only be born again, repeating the cycle of suffering again and again in the endless wheel of time until final judgment determines your ultimate fate. Get out from under the mud and cover yourselves; for your nakedness will no longer protect you from the cold harsh realities of the world.

 

Adam and Eve devastated by God’s words, got up from out of the mud and looked at each others nakedness and were ashamed. Adam was to full of remorse and self loathing to reply to God’s words, so it was Eve who responded to God’s wrath and said:

 

 

Oh God of Heaven, forgive the weakness of our will and the pettiness of our souls. We were blinded by the lure of the fulfillment of our deepest desires and let ourselves become bewitched and addled of mind. In this state we were lost to ourselves and to You and were deceived into thinking we were as great as You. We disobeyed not the God that we know now but the God that we thought You were, One who was as petty and as weak willed as we. Our sin is one of stupidity and pride; not one of a willful disobedience to the Word of God. We bow before Your judgment although our hearts ache at its severity, and our only hope is that You do not abandon us and make us walk out into the night alone.

 

Lucifina was pleased by Eve’s words and much of Her anger and disappointment towards them was abated. She saw that Adam realized the true severity of his sins which was but a first step towards redemption. He looked into the heart of his soul and saw the corruption within and wept at the damage that he had done. His sorrow and grief was proof to Her that he was willing to be healed. And what of Eve, who was once but a shadow of Adam but now seemed to be so much more.  She was much impressed with the wisdom and grace of Eve’s words and in the manner and spirit in which she faced up to her and Adams disobedience. There was hope yet for these two…

Kezefa’s eyes grew wide and nearly popped out of its angelic sockets as Death revealed what IT once was and IS now. In those Dead Red Eyes she saw the spirit lights of her beloved Gabriella and her soul twin Gabriel, and as she looked deeper she saw not Nelodi, who was once the whole of Gabriel and Gabriella, but a remnant of GOD HIMSELF. Kezefa was awe struck with joy and dread at what Death was, but this was all too much for her, as she fainted dead away in the cold stiff arms of Death.

 

As Kezefa awoke from her faint, she found herself on the ground with Death looking down upon her. She thought she saw IT smiling (or what one would look like if Death were to smile),and then Death spoke and said:

 

There is no need to fear ME, my child, for the part of ME that is Gabriella will always love and cherish you . Gabriel and I act now as the Mind of GOD, and GOD HIMSeLF who dwells within Us, watches the world through Our eyes. As for MY intentions, (towards the angels and elementals who inhabit this world of the Second Gate, which I now watch over), they are for yours and this worlds benefit. I take no sides but MY own; for Death hunts in the dark as well as in the light.

Kezefa was transfixed by Death’s words but was still unclear to what Death’s plans were, so she gathered up what courage she had left to further question Death but a voice inside her head said that would be unwise, so instead she said:

 

Oh Great Thing of GOD, I bow before YOU and I’m YOuRS to command, what shall YOU have me do

 

And Death said:

 

Do you speak for all the angels of the Second Gate or just for yourself?

 

Kezefa without hesitation said:

 

I speak for all the angels and elementals of The Second Gate.

 

Death raised ITS Voice to the winds and all of Heaven and Hell stood still to listen:

 

 

No longer will the Angels of the Light and Dark, who followed under the banner of the Archangel Gabriella and Lord Gabriel, be subject to The Voices of God- be it right or left. They will now be under MY domain and subject to MY Will and inclination. Angels of Death they will be, feared and hated by All but ME. Oh dark ones of Gabriel; time to leave Hell and fly to ME- don’t let nothing hinder your way or MY wrath They’ll see. So shall it be, So shall it be done-ON the Word and Hand of Death

 

Kezefa was overjoyed to hear that she’d be reunited with her soul twin, Kezon, so overjoyed was she that she once again fainted dead away into the comforting arms of Death…

The snake tried to quietly slither away while Lucifina’s attention was on Adam an Eve. It stopped it its tracks as it heard the voice of Death boom it proclamation throughout paradise, that same voice that poisoned its tongue with deception and lies that led to the downfall of Adam and Eve. It didn’t know which one to fear most, Lucifina or Death, so it continued its retreat in earnest, hoping to find a big rock that it could bury itself under. But as luck would have it, just as it was about to disappear into the dark comfort of earth the Voice of Lucifina called out her name:

 

Mephistopheles My foolish Mephistopheles, where do you slither off too. It seems the poor life form you chose to inhabit suits you, as you try to wiggle your way out of responsibility for your actions. What have you to say for yourself for this tragedy of your partial making

 

Mephistopheles snake body started shaking all over and spittle dripped from her fangs as she said.

 

 

Oh First One of GOD, it was not I who spread those seeds full of lies and blasphemy. Death it was who possessed me and pulled those words from my mouth. I am beside myself in grief for the unwitting part I played, but the fault does not lie with me, it was done by Deaths cruel hand.

 

And Lucifina then said:

 

 

You’ve become quite good at deceiving yourself into believing your innocence but you can’t deceive Me. Death may have pulled those words from your mouth but those words were already within you, for not even Death can make you do what’s not in your heart to do. And was it not your original intention, without Deaths interruption, to still have Adam and Eve, eat of the fruit and drink of the root of the Tree of Knowledge? In either case they would have fallen, and your part would have been the same, done with guile and charm or deceit and lies. Either way, you would earn my anger.

 

Mephistopheles in a panic tried to flee from the skin of the snake but the thin hands of guilt held her within. In a last ditch effort to escape retribution she decided to shift the blame away from herself and on to Elementals who forced her to approach Adam and Eve. In a weeping and pitiful voice she said:

 

 

Oh Mighty and Gracious Lucifina, It was voted upon by all the elementals to have Adam and Eve eat of the fruit and drink of the root, so that they may gain their memory of what they once were. We were lonely for their company and in their present condition they ignored us, as if a plague. It was I who said we should ask your permission first, but they would hear none of it, and instead demanded that I be the one to lure Adam and Eve to eat and drink from the Tree. They threatened to beat me and feed me to Lucifer’s hounds, if I didn’t do as was asked.  I see now the error of my ways and beg for Your mercy and forgiveness.

 

Lucifina had heard enough and her anger could no longer be contained. The corruption had leaked out amongst the elementals, and the most tainted of all was now trying to escape Her wrath by using the same methods of half truths and deceit as she employed with Adam and Eve, while in the guise of a snake. In a tone full of contempt and rage at Mephistopheles for what she let herself become, Lucifina announced Her judgment upon her and all the elementals, who let their need for companionship outweigh their obedience and loyalty to Her. So She said unto the she demon:

 

 

You will be cast out to Deaths domain in the body of the snake till the rot of death touches you. And as you fester and decay till your skin turns to dust, your spirit will then be released to roam without form,  where you will endlessly  hunt for  bodies to possess, that fits your disposition, and like a parasite you will feed on its blackened core, till it  shrivels and decays; till it once again turns to dust where your black spirit will once again roam, forever hungry, forever eating, forever needing.

 

To the elementals Her tone was less harsh and more sad then angry and as the elementals gathered to hear their punishment She said:

 

You have dishonored the Angelic Code of loyalty, faithfulness and obedience to Your Creator by disregarding My commands. You too will be cast out to Deaths domain and be subject to Mortality’s Bane. Your spirits will dwell amongst the Forests trees, flowers, and streams. As man multiples he will live amongst you but will be deaf to your pleas. As he cuts the trees, and picks at the flowers and drains the streams he will not know of your pain, for his eyes will be closed to you. So be it, So shall it be done.

 

The snake spat at the sky and waited for its hell to begin…

The skies were filled with the wings of angels, as Gabriel’s clan heeded the call from Death. Lucifer let them pass without hindrance for He recognized whose Voice Death was. So GOD was now in the mix, using Gabriel and Gabriella as HIS eyes and ears, to make sure everything flows according to HIS grand scheme.  Lucifer was tiring of the game but He still refused to lie down like a dog to GOD and HIS puppets- and besides, He had plans of His Own…

Oh First One of GOD, it was not I who spread those seeds full of lies and blasphemy. Death it was who possessed me and pulled those words from my mouth. I am beside myself in grief for the unwitting part I played, but the fault does not lie with me, it was done by Deaths cruel hand.

I relly like this part because it speaks of truth.
Death is in all of us. All of us are doomed to die.
In which our spirit dies and we spereate from our body.
That is the belief system i was taught.
In which sometimes I debate againat.
If we die we die we have no breath
nothing last forver. I think when we die we die.

I like this makes me ponder.
