Samael was furious as he rejoined his siblings. He couldn't believe that being had lied to him so outrageously. He hated lying in general, but those lies were particularly vexing. Any being that would claim he hated his father was someone he had nothing but contempt for. One thing was for sure, his father needed to be told about this being.

"Well?" Gabriel asked as soon as she saw Samael.

"That thing is dangerous! Father needs to be told at once!" Samael said in a furious voice.

"What happened?" Amenadiel asked.

"She is a liar!" Samael snarled.

"Did she tell you what she wants? What did you get from her when you used your gift?" Amenadiel questioned.

"Nothing. It didn't work on her," Samael said.

"That's impossible," Amenadiel said. The only beings that should be immune to any of their powers were their parents.

"It should be, but it happened. It just further proves how dangerous she is. She knew who I was too," Samael said.

"Me as well. Perhaps she has a form of omniscience," Amenadiel theorized. It was the only explanation he could come up with, since none of them had met this being before. How else would she know who they were?

"That is doubtful. She says she does not believe in Father," Samael told them. He also refused to believe that because that suggested he might one day hate his father. That wasn't a possibility he was willing to consider.

The other three angels looked as if they could not even comprehend what their brother had just told them. None of them had ever encountered a being who didn't believe in their father. There had been beings that hated him, but none that didn't believe he existed. "But that is blasphemy!" Remiel said.

"It is more reason to believe that she's dangerous. Father needs to be notified at once," he said.

"No. There is still no reason to believe we cannot handle this problem. You have provided no evidence to suggest this entity is dangerous. Father does not need to be troubled with it," Amenadiel said firmly.

"She lies!" Samael yelled.

Amenadiel scoffed. "The fact that she lied does not make her dangerous."

"Brother, you know that I don't often go against you, but Samael is right. The fact that this thing is immune to his gift only proves that it is dangerous," Remiel argued.

"See, even your protege can see reason," Samael said.

Amenadiel shook his head. "That is proof of nothing. We already knew everything about this being is a mystery."

"Amenadiel, you can't mean to keep this a secret forever. That would be impossible," Gabriel said. Their parents would discover the truth eventually, probably sooner than later. They were the most powerful beings in existence.

"No. Just until we know what this creature is and what she wants," he said. If he could find out that much, he would make his father proud. He could prove that he was capable of handling anything in his absence.

"No! I will not stand by while that thing causes more damage with her poisonous lies, just so you can be a hero later. I'm apprising, father of the situation," Samael said.

Amenadiel charged forward and grabbed his brother by the front of his robes. "You will not even speak to Father until this situation is resolved! I am his second in command! You will do as I say!"

Samael shoved his brother hard, causing him to fall to the ground several feet away. "As I said before, I don't care what rank you have! I will do what is right!"

Amenadiel stood up and advanced on his brother once more. He punched him in the face, causing him to fall into the wall behind him.

Samael got up and brushed himself off efore returning his brothers attack with a punch of his own.

"What do the two of you think you're doing?" An angry, female voice said, causing them all to turn to her.

Amenadiel and Samael backed away from each other after seeing their mother and hearing how angry she was. They looked down, properly chastised.

"Well? Would one of you like to tell me why you were behaving like one of those extinct creations of your father's?" The Goddess of all Creation asked her quarrelling sons. When neither Angel answered, she raised her voice. "That was not a request!"

Samael decided it was in his best interest to speak first. "Amenadiel has forbidden me from providing vital information to Father."

"Mother, don't listen to him. He is exaggerating. There is a situation, but I can handle it," Amenadiel said.

"That isn't true. He doesn't even know how to begin to handle it. None of us do," Samael said before filling his mother in on what was going on. He told her about the being they found on Earth that they knew nothing about.

The Goddess frowned. There were very few beings on Earth since the dinosaurs were destroyed, and all those that were had been created by her husband. She wasn't sure it was even possible for being to get to Earth without him doing putting it there. And she definitely didn't think it was possible for him to not know about it. "Your father probably already knows about this, but if he doesn't, I agree with Samael. This is a situation that requires his attention. Samael, go speak with him. He is in our chambers, in his private study."

"Mother..." Amenadiel began to protest. That was as far as he got before his mother cut him off, though.

"Hush, son. You may be your father's second in command, but I am still your mother. You answer to me as well as him. I don't know why you thought it was acceptable to keep something so vital from your father, but I will not allow it. For all I know, this being is dangerous to you and your siblings. Samael, go," the Goddess instructed.

"Thank you, Mother," Samael said, before walking towards his parents' quarters.

Samael arrived at his father study and knocked on the door. He waited for his father to announce instructions to come inside before walking in.

"Ah, Samael. It's wonderful to see you, my son," God said.

"Hello, father. I apologize if I'm interrupting your work, but there is a situation that requires your attention," Samael told his father.

"Of course, child," God said as he stood up from where he was seated. He immediately walked over to his son. "Tell me what has happened."

"Earlier we discovered a presence on Earth that didn't belong. Amenadiel and Remiel discovered a being there that they knew nothing about and brought her back here. I believe she is dangerous. She is immune to my gift and she tells horrible lies," Samael explained to his father.

God frowned. It was troubling that an unknown being had been on Earth, but it was even more troubling that his children had been in close proximity of it. His children had faced dangerous enemies before, but never ones that neither they nor he knew anything about. "It sounds as if you have been aware of all this for quite a while. Can you explain to me why you chose to question this being without first informing me?"

Samael was hesitant. Amenadiel was irritating him, but he wasn't one to get his siblings in trouble if he could avoid it. However, if forced to answer, he would not lie.

"Samael, I expect a response," God said in a stern tone.

"Amenadiel decided that we should fix the problem ourselves. He instructed me to question the entity and not to inform you," Samael said.

God sighed. He was going to have to have a conversation with his eldest. It was a conversation he'd had with him before, but apparently Amenadiel needed a reminder. "Son, I know you understand it's important to follow your brother's instructions, but there are exceptions. When he asks you to do something that is potentially dangerous, I need you to come to me."

"Yes, Father. I did not see the situation as physically dangerous to me though. That being is in a cell. It can't hurt me," Samael reasoned. He believed she was dangerous, but she couldn't physically hurt him in a cell. She could only spread her lies, which he would not fall for.

"But you do not know that for sure. As you have said, you don't know anything about this entity. You don't know what power she possesses. What's done is done though. Walk with me now. You can tell me everything you know about this being as we walk down to the cells," God said as he put a hand on his son's shoulder and led him out of his study.
