A Teeny Taste

Though the angels of the Commonwealth of Heaven had withstood what had been unleashed upon them by the Lesser Darkness, they turned to grieve the loss of many Supernal Men, Cherubim, Children of the Strong Ones, and Strong Ones. Once the grieving was over, the grand council resumed convocation. Having caught up on everything that had unfolded in the realm since her former death, Anna became inspired to channel the mannerisms of one elder brother of hers in making her case again.

"Folks," commenced the Electric One, "we all learned a valuable lesson here. We really need the sealed angelic hybrids."

Her very words caught the attention of her colleagues, as they turned towards her without hesitation.

"Not giddy with awe, are we?" she quipped, which made Castiel even more attentive.

"Of all the brothers and sisters to echo," pondered the final Valiant One, "why channel him, Anna? Why channel Lucifer, especially during my temporary possession during the struggle against the Darkness?"

"Because," sighed his former captain, "that Mashhit had quite a point: what we just fought against is but a teeny taste of what's to come, and even Lucifer and the other three primordial amigos know what's next. Oh, I should add that they don't care."

The former human female recalled Zachariah's opposition and turned towards him.

"Zachariah," she called him, "as for enemy co-optation of the hybrids, that's a risk we must be willing to take! It's either that, or we won't get to co-opt the prowess of the likes of Samson or Makeda."

Having been co-opted into supporting this position, Hannah remembered the earlier consensus about augmenting further one or two classes of Brilliant Ones, and wanted to relate that argument with the current one.

"I should mention," began the Fiery One, "that the likes of Samson and Makeda would make excellent placeholders for our consensus on empowering one or two classes of Brilliant Ones with monster souls, until we have enough of those souls."

"Celestials on contract?" the former employee of the month for too long to count blurted, asking for clarification in terms he could understand more easily.

"You could say that," answered the former feminine leader of Heaven, before the entire grand council passed this recommendation regarding the sealed angelic hybrids, including the original Nephilim.
