#6: Rafaela the Omnipresent
Dramatic pause. As she the former, her imposing expression becomes a little harsher.
_Auriela: The assassination of 2 million angels. If you ask for my opinion, I believe that Canabel committed something so atrocious and unforgivable, that he should have been killed, or at the very least, exiled in an empty dimension for all eternity. BUT NONE OF THAT HAPPENED, ALL GOD DID WAS EXILE HIM FROM HEAVEN. WHY?
_Michael: ...
_Grabiel: ...The...the barrier.
_Auriela: Indeed.
If God were to completely seal away humans from any type of divine presence, then they would also be exposed to the forces of evil, which would cause the total corruption of humankind. But that's precisely the reason why God decided to exile Canabel into the Human World.
_Auriela: Canabel is no longer an angel, so the rule of "No angels allowed on planet Earth"... it doesn't apply to him. And on top of that, thanks to this exception... GABRIEL IS ALSO ALLOWED TO FREELY INTERACT WITH HIM.
Michael keeps listening to her, it seems that he is complying with her words.
_Auriela: Yes, Canabel is a despicable killer, and yes, it's his fault that all of this got complicated in the first place. But despite that, God found a chance in him, a chance so that one day he could be useful and serve for the greater good once again. And as of right now, that day is TODAY.
_Michael: ...So... So you're saying that God foretold the genocide caused by Canabel? Is that what you're implying? Are you implying that God let it happen?
_Auriela: No, that I cannot confirm. Besides, you assume that God had necessarily a way to stop that event from happening. We can't tell for sure.
_Michael: What? He's God, the one above all! And yet...
_Gabriel: None of that matters, Michael. God gave us all free will, do not forget that. Canabel used his freedom to do as he pleased, and he chose evil. The genocide is Canabel's fault, not God's. Do NOT forget that.
_Michael: ...
_Gabriel: ...
_Auriela: I repeat, Michael, I hate Canabel as much as you do, but God has put his faith on him, so I must have faith too.
_Gabriel: To believe in Canabel, is it to believe in God as well, Michael.
Silence. Michael exchanges looks with the others, until he finally gives up and agrees. He's no longer pissed off, just grumpy. And thus, he begins to walk back through the hole in the wall, to continue the meeting.
_Michael: If he betrays us, I will be the first one to beat him up, is that clear?
_Gabriel: Yeah, no problem!
_Auriela: Fu, As you wish.
As Michael enters the room and is no longer visible on the passageway, Gabriel exchanges a smile with Auriela, who smirks just a little. Soon after, both of them also reenter the meeting hall through the wall, and see the big round table where Michael is already sitting at. However, he is not the only one there, as it is revealed that there is a fourth archangel, one who has been there sitting the hole time!
The fourth archangel is a teenage looking girl, wearing a necklace composed of numerous big pearls, which look more like miniature planets, each one of a different color. In the same way, her double ponytail is held tight by two planet-looking spheres colored pink and purple respectively. And not only that, on top of her head, where her aureole should be, she has a miniature version of planet Jupiter, spinning in place nonstop.
The girl, however, is not paying attention to the other's arrival. At the moment, she is too focused contemplating a one-meter-long bonsai tree, which, for some reason, she is taking care of right over the table, as everyone stares at her. With delicacy and enthusiasm, she looks over the branches, checks its leaves, as she carefully cuts mere millimeters off from the bonsai by using scissors that barely fit on her hand.
After a while, she finishes cutting, exhales, and says "alrighty" out of satisfaction by her work well done. Only then, does she notice the other three archangels staring at her.
_Rafaela: Oh wow, did you guys finally stop bickering?
