Chương 6: Revelations of the Celestial Choir:Divine Betrayal
"Celestial…Choir?"
"Yeah"
He says feeling pretty pleased with himself. He's grinning from ear to ear with his eyes closed and leans his elbow on his lap when he say's
"It's pretty cool don't you think, you're talking to an angel from the celestial choir. It's such a big deal, isn't it? But please try to control yourself you will get all the chances to bask in my presence"
"Uh, sure… What's the celestial choir exactly?"
I was originally trying to ask him the question without trying to look clueless but I failed that mission on two accounts. I first failed when I asked the question, obviously a question like that makes you look completely clueless and I was trying to avoid a lecture. Maybe I would have managed to escape one if
"Wait. Don't tell me"
I hadn't slipped up and left a confused look on my face. He raises his eyelids and glares at me with disappointment and a pinch of shock in his eyes
"You don't know what the celestial choir is?!"
He shouts as he gets off his throne
"Dear lord, how ignorant are you?"
He holds his forehead as though I've given him some kind of headache or brain tumour and he does it with all seriousness
"I guess the blame doesn't fall solely on you after all your spiritual teachers also failed to properly educate you so I can't get mad but you should know more"
He sighs deeply
"Looks like I'll have to educate you before I teach you about anything else"
"Damn it"
"You only have yourself to blame! Anyway. Let's start with the Celestial Choir"
"Yeah, just what are they?"
"'They' Are the nine orders of angels that our master, our lord and your GOD created. We are nine in total and the nine of us are
Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones
Dominions
Virtues
Powers
Principalities
Archangels and finally
Angels.
These are the order of the celestial choir, and the nine types of angels are also listed according to their rank. In each of these tiers, there is a prince"
"Wait. So, you're telling me that angels have categories? All of you aren't just angels"
"Of course not, you think we would have been so carelessly and simple-mindedly made by the multiverses greatest story writer? By the good shepherd? Don't make me laugh. We were all specifically made to serve a purpose and the power to match it. Each angel comes from one of these orders and their weapons and abilities are given to them based on the work of their order. I named them from most powerful to the least"
"And what rank are you in"
"I'm from the dominion, the 4th most powerful of our order"
"Do angels usually have horns?"
"Oh, these things?"
He points his finger at the horns
"Oh, these are just prop's I got from killing a former comrade gone demon. Only cherubim have horns because they have animal parts other than them only demons have horns but even they have a variety for those who do and don't"
"You said former comrade… are you saying an angel turned into a demon?"
"How do you think most demons are made? It's from fallen angels. The first and the strongest of demons are from the first fallen angels from the celestial rebellion. More popularly known as the fall of Lucifer, he and all his rebel angels were banished to hell changing their forms from purity to impurity due to sin. That's the origin of demons, the origin of sin and impurity but others joined them later on throughout history even up till now. That is of course right before this happened"
"Wait you mean you can make more demons from angels if they…"
"That's right Eddy. All an angel has to do is fall to impurity and we become demons, we become fallen"
"No way"
"That's why even after Lucifer fell angels were still falling and it was because the taste of flesh became too enticing to pass up"
"What do you mean… Taste of flesh"
"The daughters of Eve, the mother of earth, the first woman. Her daughters just like her were beautiful and without mates at the time. My comrades saw that chance to sleep with them and took it. Angels from the celestial choir's order of seraphim and thrones"
"What are the thrones like?"
Without realizing it I had become very interested in everything he had to offer to me, everything he had to say and teach. He was very knowledgeable and gave me every bit of info without me asking in detail. The more I heard the more I wanted to hear, it was all too interesting to me. I wanted to learn everything I could about the world beyond ours and what went on in it
"Two hundred angels fell to the flesh of the daughters of Eve. They left their high powers, forgot their duties and came down taking on the best forms of man they could and sleeping with them giving birth to horrible unspeakable monstrosities known as giants not long after. The thrones were angels with massive power and the third most powerful in our order. Rings of fire with eyes all around them, their power was intense and yet they sacrificed it all for flesh. The monsters they spawned inherited some of that power though they didn't have all of it when they took the form of man the giants still inherited it along with their sin causing them to be violent and wicked. Among the angels that committed these atrocities was my former comrade Beelzebub the prince of Seraphim, he and his two hundred along with his monstrous children were sent to hell as well and you can guess that they became demons also. For the children though it was only natural"
That's insane! I thought angels were supposed to be pure divine creatures yet you birth so much chaos?"
"Listen boy it was man who was made to be stainless not us! Get it straight that we were made by god but not in his image we were only made to be unchangeable through the ages and that is physical, you were the stainless ones! The perfect of all of God's creations, the one he took his time to make, the one he so loved and cherished more than all in and beyond the universe he had created and the one Lucifer envied"
"I don't understand"
"How have you not gotten it, boy!"
He shouts and the lake of fire surrounding us turns to concrete the length of a football stadium. His throne enters into the concrete and blends with it and my pillar does too. While I fall from it and lay flat on my ass Achryxous walks up to me with anger in his eyes and yells"
"All the things that happened, all the battles that took place, the tempting the fighting, all this is because of how envious Lucifer became of you and yet, even when man had become impure GOD still loved you, he never stopped caring, never stopped checking, never stopped providing. It annoyed Lucifer, your spiritual death wasn't enough for him. So, we've spent the last billions of years watching the longest battle between man and spirit till the day of cleansing"
"Which is finally taking place now"
"Now you get it. When the angels fell even those who weren't part of the rebellion fell with him. Those who didn't pick a side. It was saying we denied our master"
He looks down in shame and dis-contempt
"Those angels who should have suffered even greater punishment. Should have suffered death were shown mercy but in the act of betrayal. We were told to do the work of demons and tempt man, test the heart of man to see if they would be weary or weak. Even though we were forgiven we were irredeemable and had to wait till Armageddon till we could go back to our master's side. We have to be redeemed alongside man"
I couldn't even say a word. This was all so new to me, so shocking, I was still trying to process all of what he told me when he say's
"As for everything I know about you, it was from tempting you and your elder sister it's from your guardian angels"
"Wait you know our guardian angels?"
"Of course I do, I've been tempting men for a long time don't be shocked we always do our job right when your guardian is there. It was when I was doing one of my rounds that I met you and your sister, I got a little chatty with your guardians and they spilt the beans. They are like your parents even when you don't see them they're still looking out for you"
"The job doesn't sound too hard"
I said casually while stretching and Yawning
"Sounds like you only have to tempt those with guardian angels so that just means Christians and Muslims"
"Wrong!"
"What? How? Are you saying pagans got angels too? They don't deserve that"
"You idiots think just because a few souls refused to believe in their master he will deny them the equal grace he gave to the rest of you as well. Even the Atheist have guardian angels as well and it isn't about deserving it, if it was search inside yourself and ask yourself if you deserve guardians."
