Changes To Celestial Existence

Steeped in deep thought, Sefira contemplated the immeasurable changes made to celestial existence recently. For the Lesser Darkness, they also had to be evaluated in relation to the realization that she aspired towards being venerated by all of Creation as the exclusive active Divine since that moment.

Her own mother, the Darkness, had created the Bottomless Pit and convinced her uncle, God, to relocate the monsters of Purgatory to the new realm. The former had also convinced the latter to renovate Purgatory into two compartments, one resembling a hospital and the other of coldness, so as to satisfy the human need for soul purification from shortcomings based on commission and omission, respectively. The doppelganger of her dark creator saw some potential for the refurbished realm in her designs, and decided to revisit the subject matter later. Due to other changes to Purgatory and elsewhere, Hell's supply of incoming human souls had come to an end; only nothingness awaited the irredeemably damned.

The most relevant developments pertained to the angels. The entire heavenly host throughout its history had been restored to its former power. However, a second heaven, a Republic of Heaven, had been created due to pressure from the Destroyer; one-third of the host rebelled rather peacefully against their Creator, and departed to the new permanent realm under power-boosted leadership. What was left of the original celestial realm, now the Commonwealth of Heaven, had been altered further.

In relation to the angels, the self-proclaimed Active Divine Feminine faced the prospect of confronting the same assortment of twelve angelic heavyweights as before: her four primordial cousins, the four Holy Living Ones, and the four Valiant Ones, each empowered with a tablet computer and spares containing the entire Word of God. However, she now faced the prospect of confronting a greater assortment of other angelic leaders than thought originally: the rebellious Electric One empowered to lead his celestial republicans with his own Angel Tablet, the four human-friendly Electric Ones, the seventy or so Fiery Ones, and the Seraphim now numbering in the hundreds.

Furthermore, the Lesser Darkness now faced the prospect of confronting a greater assortment of other angels, including: those rebellious Grigori who had not been obliterated as a divine warning, the Brilliant Ones who replaced them amongst the human-friendly angels, and four new ranks of beings below the regular angels.


Author's Note: To be more specific, this is set not long after the Bonding Outside The Bar chapter titled "Commonwealth Of Heaven." This original character became aware of her once-fuzzy aspirations to be venerated all across Creation as the "Active Divine Feminine" in the Back At The Bar chapter titled "Bubbling Antagonisms."

Recapped below is the full angelic hierarchy of the human-friendly Commonwealth of Heaven:

The four absent ArchangelsMichael, Lucifer, Raphael, and Gabriel;

The four Holy Living Ones (Chayot Ha Kodesh)a resurrected Metatron, Phanuel, Sandalphon, and Israfil;

The four Valiant Ones (Erelim)Zaphkiel, Raguel, Jehudiel, and the one and only Castiel;

The four Electric Ones (Hashmallim)Camael, Raziel, Tzadkiel, and the one and only Anna;

The seventy or so Fiery Ones (Shinanim) – Barachiel, Hofniel, Jerahmeel, and Sariel, plus the one and only Hannah, Kepharel, Selaphiel, and the one and only Zachariah, plus Akatriel-Yah, Cecitiel, Marmoniel, Oriphiel, Pravuel, Rikbiel, Sabriel, Sahaquiel, Uziel, Yahoel, Yefefiah, Zagzagel, and the rest;
