Did God Really Decree?
It came to pass, in an isolated area of the Commonwealth of Heaven, that Anna noticed Radueriel making a heavenly observation of many lower angels changing vessels frequently, so as to take advantage of the traces of angelic graces lingering within physical vessels as a result of peaceful angelic departures. Having noticed a look of dismay, the Electric One approached the Primeval Angel.
"What is it that displeases you?" the former popped the question, ready to defend the resorting of her lesser siblings to the celestial loophole before both of them.
"From all of what I have learned," drawled the latter, for she wanted to get her point across in no ambiguous terms, "they are not supposed to be doing this. Has it not been decreed that removing part or all of one's grace is an abomination?"
"Indeed, that has," the ambitious angel almost spat in disgust, "but the one who decreed this was Michael. In case you didn't notice, that Elvis has left the building, and we're at war!"
"I see," conceded the celestial observer. After a short pause, she switched topics.
"I see that our lesser siblings can be expelled by living hosts through the cancellation of their consent," the point came across.
"Did God really decree this?" the powerful being of blinding white light made known her existential question, which she had prepared and long had awaited to ask.
Anna could not help but nod, then gave an answer of her own.
"What I don't understand in all this is why Father did not give us the same possession resilience that he gave the four primordial amigos and even you," she spoke.
Ever Radueriel did merely confirm the ears that would heed her and the tongue that would enlarge what was about to be heard, all of them in her very presence.
"If you and our lesser siblings can manage to avoid Divine sanction for infusing yourselves with Nephilim graces or for frequent vessel-hopping," came the smooth suggestion, "then all of you surely will not come under such sanction, much less die, from becoming as one of us where possession resilience is concerned, at least once the vessel-hopping ends."
Seeing no conflict between such opportunity to come and the vessel-hopping in the here and now, the Electric One did not hesitate to hearken to the Primeval Angel, whose spell knowledge was great.
