6 Billion Years Later After Demiurge's Fall
1 A church stood upon the hills of Jerusalem, and within, paintings of angels were carved and sketched upon the walls. A nun moved through the night, cleaning, unaware, holding a candle aloft.
2 And I beheld another mighty angel, whose image had been drafted before the sea and earth. He descended in the painting as though from heaven, clothed in clouds, his halo shining as the sun, and in his hand a sword like pillars of fire, and a book open unto the side.
3 The nun continued her work, until the angel's eyes fell upon her, and he spake: "Do not be afraid."
4 Then he cried with a voice as when a lion roareth, and the woman reeled in shock, for the angel moved and pointed his finger at her. "BEWARE."
5 A shadow crept before them, and the angel said, "He sits in Ambush."
6 The candlelight flickered, and the woman looked behind in terror, yet the angel urged her to pray in Pangaeos. But she could not… "Satan himself masquerades as an Angel of Light."
7 On the earth… He is a Liar, the Father of Lies.
8 And the shadow struck, and the woman fell. Her blood spattered across the walls, yet the angel's painted eyes wept silent tears.
9 The painting of the angel stirred, as though moved by her prayer, calling the other angels upon the walls to strike. But the moment was brief, and the shadow vanished into the darkness.
10 And the angels remained upon the walls, still as stone, weeping in silence, their tears frozen upon painted cheeks, witnesses to her death and the wrath withheld.
