Beryl Gate and pushed massive locks to close them.
“Come on,” said Camar.
Havani in turn flew down to where Adonari was still standing.
“Come on my friend. Come on,” said Havani.
“But, but –”
“Let’s go. Let’s go,” Havani said. Havani zipped up to join the two legions in the air.
Adonari did not budge and instead grumbled. I’m going to regret this, he thought. The spirit of the Lord whispered in Adonari’s heart not to go. Adonari shrugged off the warning and flew up to meet the rebellion. Angels were flying to and fro in a frantic panic.
Ten legions of angels numbering One Hundred Thousand flew from gate to gate, securing the borders. In their eyes, The Almighty was about to fall.
The continuous light of heaven grew a gray dingy darkness as the angels flew about.
Adonari, with the band of marauders about him noticed the darkness as they reached Topaz, the Twelfth Gate.
Adonari witnessed the mass of Seraphims and Cherubims gather on the outskirts of the Throne Room, high above the center of the holy city. Lucifer was nowhere in sight.
The unholy cohort of angels zoomed down to the east entrance to the Throne Room and yet there were no signs of Lucifer.
Lucifer’s Generals like Camar and Leon carried out the orders.
The throne room had four entrances on the North, South, East and West.
The entrance to each was guarded by terrible beasts that had the face of men but had multiple wings numbering fifty on each side of the joints where the wing attached to their bodies.
Their bodies were dark yellow and their outer covering was tougher than diamonds.
These beasts had four pairs of eyes each that scanned three hundred and sixty degrees for their faces were four dimensional, like a box. Each side of the face could be viewed from any angle. They had no hair on their heads and a light, the glory of The Almighty, shone around them.
They had breast plates made of Doral, a substance One Hundred times stronger than diamonds. Their Doral breastplates shined silver in the glow of The Almighty’s presence and their tongues were blazing javelins.
The East Gate beast was called Love, the West called Faith, the North called Grace, and the South called Mercy.
Together they guarded the Throne Room and the presence of The Almighty. Camar flew straight to the beast at the East Gate.
Five Thousand angels followed as Camar bolted towards Love. Leon and his legion followed closely behind.
The beast flapped all fifty pairs of wings at the same time and a gust greater than a million hurricanes blew Camar, Leon, Adonari, Havani and the angels that followed him clear to the farthest point near the Beryl Gate. Camar shook himself and fumbled into the air. Adonari and Havani followed.
“Now what do we do?” said Adonari to Camar. Havani silently gazed into the deep outer bands of heaven.
“You’re damaged,” said Adonari to Camar.
“I – I know. I wasn’t expecting that one.” Camar was damaged in the left outer region of his upper wings. The hordes of hellions that followed him were also damaged.
“There’s no way to breach the East Gate. Not with just our legion. We are going to need more power,” Camar said trying to ignore the pain in his wings.
“Personally, I don’t think Lucifer thought this–”
“Look, enough of that. Of course he did. Are you in this rebellion or not? I’d appreciate it if you shut your mouth,” said Camar.
“Don’t be testy. I was just pointing out–”
“Don’t. We have enough stress to worry about than loyalty in the ranks,” said Camar.
“Relax,” said Havani to Camar. “I’ve known Adonari since he was created. He’s means no harm. Really. He’s been hanging out on the outer bands of heaven’s gates a bit too long. He means no harm. Please.”
Before Camar could respond, Lucifer appeared out of nowhere to them with a burst of light.
“Leave him,” said Lucifer. “He’ll understand in a moment.”
Leon glanced at Lucifer and shot up
