What have I done? It is not their fault. It never was. The Gods gave them Free Will. Not I. Their future was never
bound. They only ruined my perception
of what things should have been. I
became corrupted by my Emotions. What
can I do?
Good Morrow Gabriel
Caleb what brings you here?
Come now is this the way to
treat your friend? You are dying. I was only concerned.
Ahh. You realize you are
dying too. I see.
That's why I came; now why
are you dying?
I acted out of my
boundaries.
Your Chosen?
Yes.
How could you? Micheal will not be pleases.
Nor will Jehovah. But I am sure Lucifer and the other is
immensely pleased.
Lucifer was the one who
confirmed I was dying. I needed to know
why.
We
were given on of the greatest tasks. It
was expected.
Micheal
and Beelzebub have been doing if for millennia more than we and they have not
failed. You played a fool.
Need
I remind you of your mistakes?
No. However, Gabriel, there was not an intimate
involvement between us, you know that.
Humph. That girl. I chose her and the boy. They
did not.
You
still meddled, that is all there is to it. Now we suffer. How much longer
do we have?
Twenty
human years.
And
it cannot be reverse.
Possibly,
but they will not like it.
Our
Lords or you little Chosen?
Both.
Do
it. I want to stick around for a couple
of more millennia.
I
will do what I can. It will not be
easy.
Nothing
is my friend. Good Bye.
Friend. Humph. Friend. The word echoed throughout his head. I cannot ask that of them. I was their choice. Lord help me. I, too like my chosen, am lost and confused. There began a bright multitude of
lights. Each color fading in and
out. Gabriel was going home. He basked in the lights. The warmth cascaded over him. It had been a long time. The warmth stopped. Gabriel knew why.
My
Gabriel, what brings you here.
I
have sinned my lord.
Do
the others know?
Lucifer
does. The other gods, no.
Hmmm. How my child?
I
have meddled in the affairs of my charges Lord.
What? How? This is against the rules. They have to make their own choices. You know that.
I
know Lord. I tried to affect their
relationships with one another, so their lives may go more smoothly.
And
in doing so you made it worse? I
see. You have 20 years their time to
fix it.
I
know, my lord, but how? That is what
confuses me. I do not know what to do.
I am
sorry, Gabriel, I cannot help you.
But…I
need help…I understand. You did not
have to take the time to listen to me. You have much to do Lord. I so
appreciate it.
Gabriel,
you do not visit much. You have a lot
of weight placed on you. I do not
expect to come home. Your home is
there. Farewell Gabriel. I hope you find your answer.
I do
too my Lord.
The lights faded out on last time. And Gabriel was back in his place. The ground was a hard welcome.
I must get them back. Back here to begin their quest for an answer. But can I trust them? Can they trust me? We shall see. For our sake I certainly hope we all can.
