Not Quite Primordial Radiance
When the time was right, the dark cloud and the divine light prepared to observe the genesis of a new kind of celestial being. In preparation for this, the Darkness recalled her absorption of angelic grace and of the experiences therein, for God was about to show her the intricacies of angels coming into being.
The two of them watched keenly as a past version of the latter had before him a substance of light.
"Not quite the primordial – what was that again?" blurted the inquisitive one.
"Primordial tzohar, or radiance," the experienced one filled in the blanks for her.
Indeed, the Creator recalled his utilization of that magnificent substance long ago to fashion the four beings of painfully blinding white light who stood nearby. The significantly lesser substance that was being manipulated at the moment was, in fact, the same one that had been manipulated by Michael himself, while augmented, to create the four Wheels.
As for the past version of himself, he proceeded to form, rather slowly, the very first angelic grace with his insights, and within it a miraculous combination of vital components, currents, links, and bright smoke, balancing all the gracious power within the being. Were one of these things in the combination to fail, the prototype would cease to exist before him.
As she watched, the curious one felt like she was in what the humans would call a workshop. The temporally separated being before her played the role of craftsman, taking his time diligently to fashion his newest creation into being. As the fashioning unfolded, she asked question after question with her primordial sibling about the intricate functions and other details of this angelic grace.
"What is the importance of this part, Brother?" she inquired as though her curiosity had yet to be satiated in full, for this had become her seventh question on the subject of angelic grace.
"Of all the parts that keep the grace from coming apart at the seams, Sis, this is the most important one!" exclaimed her divine companion, before explaining further.
"I'm just curious," the Darkness attempted to give her assurance.
"You sure are," God opined with slight annoyance.
