Armed With Bitter Herbs
Amara recalled her recent companionship trip with Chuck, which covered Hell, the recently formed Bottomless Pit, the renovated Purgatory, the Veil, and what would become the Commonwealth of Heaven. During that time, the Darkness borrowed each soul within to assimilate its memories and experiences. Despite God's ability to see all and hear all, despite his nigh-omnividence and nigh-omniaudience, his senses of created beings' memories and experiences were limited to his own perspective.
Now, the most powerful entity in existence was armed with bitter herbs of sorts: the memories and experiences of those who were victims within the museum of mass murder. Because she and her divine companion were still in the makeshift courtroom, she had an idea on how to needle him further.
"Brother," she began, "perhaps I should share, with your prospective prophetic soundboard, all the assimilated memories and experiences of every single person who convicted you here?"
"It was I who prevented him from having a life-ending heart attack after hearing your epic appointment of him," she reminded him, "so perhaps I should be the one to push him to the brink next time, and this time with many first-person perspectives?"
"While doing so, perhaps I should include the perspective of his very own grandfather?" she teased further, not forgetting the deceased grandfather of Moses Levinsky who participated in the trial.
Despite the stubborn rejection that came to pass, the divine companion rushed to the defense of the living grandson.
"Don't, Sis! Don't!" he threatened his divine companion again.
"Or what?" retorted the confidante, "This Messenger of the Eternal is not a mere subordinate who can be commanded to stay her hand, not laying it on that mortal!"
"Perhaps I should spark curiosity on his part first, a desire to be gifted these memories and experiences? He is a man of curiosity, you know," she offered to take a gentler approach towards the prospective draftee.
An eerie silence ensued between the two siblings, before the older sister could tell that her younger brother conceded the matter.
"Just as you will be with him when he goes about to fulfill his mandate," the Darkness reassured God, "I will be with him to keep his mind strong while it assimilates first-hand perspectives."
Author's Note: The metaphorical reference to bitter herbs is inspired by the consumption of such during Passover. Meanwhile, Amara's retort to Chuck's threatening imperative is a spin on Divine commands in Job 1:12 and 1 Chronicles 21:15 limiting adversarial actions by celestial agents.
