He had been sitting on His throne. Two eyes closed and one omnipresent one observing each and every one of their movements. Hearing through Michael’s ears every word spoken.
The tension was palpable even when He was not there per se.
One sword being drawn was all it took for it to explode. The sound of heavenly steel clashing against one similar. Michael’s wings unfolding in a battle position had blown winds that had not been felt in a millenia.
Adonai’s eyes opened with a blinding glow of powerful divinity.
No word left His mouth but enochian resounded on each and every single one of His celestials. In the Silver City, on Earth. Fallen or not.
He sparked that need to fulfill their duty for what they were created. Warriors. Deathly. Flawless creations witnesses of the most devastating battles already won. All of them were armoured in a blink. He was not going to take any chances.
Uriel’s cage was open. The golden doors of Heaven were heavily locked closer. Eden was hidden.
Michael was fighting. Chuck had taken a decision. Betrayal never comes only once.
One hand rolled the ring on His middle with His thumb as He observed their next movements while the other, reached to His side to take Asherah’s hand. This time He had His calm, His reasoning, His thinking. This time He was complete.
It begins as a conversation. It continues as a battle. It will end in a war. Whatever the outcome, there is no doubt that whatever semblance of peace there used to be, will now be over. Battles will continue this one and for that, They are prepared. She doesn’t question or stop Adonai as He calls upon their children, as he closes the doors of Heaven, as Eden gets hidden away from all eyes. She stands next to Him instead, like She hasn’t done for millennia and observes as all of it unfolds, divinity pouring from Her to make Her children stronger, to protect Heaven, to protect Him.
No words need to be said, no questions need to be asked, no plans need to be set in stone. Things are clear to both of them: this is a war and they intend to win. This is a war and they are strong. This is a war and they stand together.
