Of Temples And Services
While the external construction work on the temples and surrounding complexes continued, the dark cloud and the divine light surveyed events transpiring elsewhere that pertained to Sefira. From innermost sanctuaries to grumblings to tree plantings, the Darkness and God saw them all, including oversight by the Lesser Darkness.
Brother, my daughter's artisans have built a larger-scale version of our very own representations atop the Arks of the Pact, which you've proliferated across Creation!
So, Sis? I've got a front row seat to the first so-called 'blasphemies' against Her Thin-Skinnedness!
Oh?
As decreed by that beloved of yours, their exercise of free will is not without serious consequences! The unfortunate ones have been convicted of, and accursed for, so-called 'everlasting blasphemy' against her.
Burned at the stake, so to speak?
How else can she make an example out of them?
Now, why are those magical trees over there being grown?
Their growth and eventual sacrifice are meant to make an affront to past instructions of mine against particular forms of pagan worship. She also has a Dark Lord fetish for destroying magical trees!
The time came for the two divine companions to be awed by the sight of completed temples and surrounding complexes. As planned by the temples' grand honoree, these structures were nothing less than monumental. The central structures were as tall as the tallest cathedrals and as long and wide as the largest pyramids. The inner courtyards were larger than the largest temple complexes of antiquity, and were as grand as the outer courtyard of the Creator's eschatological temple revealed long ago to a priestly prophet. The outermost enclosed areas were as large as the largest pre-industrial ones built for the Hindu deities.
Following this, the two confidantes gazed upon the long temple services unfolding in their sight.
Here they go, my daughter's fan clubs!
What a dull way to lengthen these prayer services: using all those heard-before titles in their supplications!
Finally, exaltations which you've used preemptively to get under her skin are now being pronounced by their intended users.
So much for our family secret, though! This pharaoh may not have spilled humanity's recurring shortcomings, but she's pointed out the source!
Now what? Hail?
As in Hail Mary, but the Divine Will is not with her!
The Darkness and God continued to watch the mass veneration from afar.
