Author's Note: I've been meaning to post this for a while now... Read & Review!
Lucifer was standing over his younger brother, tears dripping down his face. Sorry it had to be this way, little brother. He had pretty much raised that kid. He taught him almost everything he knew. Now, Gabriel was dead. Killed by his brother's hand. How's that for brotherly love?
OOOOOOOO
Michael. The first angel. He loved his father. Michael was God's first loyal little soldier. Michael loved to help his father in the construction of heaven. When all of heaven was complete, Michael would stare at the trees in the garden in complete awe especially the tree of knowledge. God would always tell Michael 'This tree will disrupt all of my creations' or 'Don't touch this tree. It brings great evil' But Michael always wondered, How can anything so beautiful be evil?
Then came Lucifer. The second angel. He too loved his father. Lucifer however did not enjoy helping his father with his creations. He thought God's creations were beautiful especially the garden but he'd rather race around heaven with Michael.
Michael and Lucifer had fun playing together. They'd run through the garden, admiring all the things their father had made. Lucifer would always beg to play hide-and-seek with Michael in the garden, but Michael always knew where to look: the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Lucifer loved that tree. Michael never really understood why.
When they weren't playing hide-and-seek, Michael was training Lucifer to soar. They'd race through the air, not stopping a second for fear of the other catching up. Michael would win at first, then Lucifer would catch up and they'd finish at the same time. Every single race was the same, no one really won. It was pointless trying to win, but still something in Lucifer wanted to win.
Next came Raphael. The third archangel created. Raised by Michael. Michael raised Raphael to be a soldier. Not too much later came Gabriel. The last archangel created. He loved his father and his brothers. Gabriel loved to run around the garden with his brothers, they'd chase Gabriel around, for he was quicker than they were. Gabriel would let them catch up to him as he rested.
Years passed and Michael decided he wanted to help his father once again with creation. These were the years Lucifer taught Gabriel some tricks. First was teleportation. Gabriel caught on quickly to this one. Sometimes when Michael was alone in the garden, Gabriel would snatch something from him and teleport from place to place, making sure Michael saw him, then vanishing from his sight. Then he'd give whatever he had taken to Lucifer. Michael found no enjoyment in their games anymore. Sometimes, he'd find his brothers and tell his father what they had done. But other times when they really got on his nerves he'd chase them through the garden, and never catch either of them. Most of them time though, he'd sigh and continuecontinue with his work.
The last trick was invisibility. This was a little more difficult but it was still fairly easy for him. This trick Gabriel used to more effectively steal from Michael and now, to try stealing from Lucifer.
Lucifer was leaning against the Tree of Life eating an apple from another tree. "Molecules. How interesting" Lucifer muttered to himself before taking his second bite from the apple. Lucifer took a second to marvel his surroundings, then heard a rustling of the leaves and sighed.
"Gabriel", Lucifer called out. "I know you're here. Show yourself, brother"
Gabriel took his time to appear to Lucifer. "How'd you know?" He asked.
"Gabriel, Don't forget who taught you all your tricks" Lucifer smirked biting into his apple again. He took another bite and threw the apple.
"...Shut up." Gabriel replied, swatting the apple away.
