Into The Devil’s Heart

Wings sprouted out of Michael’s back, it was white as a dove and big. His armor glitters so brightly that Audrey closes her eyes out of reflex.

Then, she saw Lucifer, her Cannon spread out his wings. Like Michael’s, there was no difference. Both beings look so majestic and powerful, the aura coming from both left the heavens trembling.

Even though Michael was the first to pull his sword, Lucifer was the first to lunch at him. He was swift but Michael was able to evade without a scratch, he looked as though he wasn’t stressed. Like an experienced teacher.

The clashes of swords could be heard, both parties not willing to lose to the other.

Audrey watches them fight with pounding, though she knows Cannon is at fault, she can’t help but pray he stays strong and does not falter.

But as designed by God, Lucifer was meant to fall so God will be glorified.

The longer they fight, the more strength Michael acquires while Lucifer’s strength seems to be depleting.

Those who work in God’s presence and fight for his course will always be enriched with God’s Grace and power to keep on defending his integrity and name while those who go astray from God’s presence and fight against the Lord will be left to defend themselves on their strength and might.

That’s exactly what was happening, Michael standing up in the defense of his Creator and fighting for his course was enriched by God and made stronger in his presence while Lucifer felt belittled because he was against God and was relying on his strength.

As it’s said, no matter how much the servant learns and acquires knowledge, the Master will forever remain the Master because it’s through him the servant was made.

The mightier Michael became, the weaker Lucifer was. He falls to his knees, weak and powerless. He knew it was the end of him, but there was no regret on his face.

“Shall thou acknowledge thy God and turn away from thy sin?” Michael asked, standing so tall before Lucifer.

Lucifer snorts, “Never!” He is willing to fight till the end of his existence and then go back to serving God.

“Then thou shall face the Judgment of the almighty” Michael’s voice trembles, he turns around staring up at the bright light.

Seeing that as an advantage, Lucifer picks up his sword and is about to strike Michael from behind when everything happens so fast instead, he is the one that was slashed in the face down to his chest by Michael’s blazing blade.

“Since thou has refused to serve me, thou shall be cast down to earth alongside thy minions and shall no longer be recognized as a heavenly being. Thou shall be the enemy of the kingdom and shall dwell in hell for as long as though liveth” A mighty voice spoke out, passing judgment on the beings that went against HIM.

“No, you can’t cast me out. I belong here so much as they do” Lucifer cries out, pointing out his right as a heavenly being but he forgot he long lost that right when he chose to revolt against his God.

He opened his mouth to speak but then, the spot beneath him opened up and he fell deeper into the darkness. He wasn’t the only one, those angels who agreed with him were cast down as well.

Audrey shivers in fear as tears roll down her cheeks endlessly, now she understands how he got those wounds and it hurts.

“Shall thou serve the Lord thy God with love and joy or shall thou turn against him just as Lucifer did?” Michael asked the other angels.

“We are of God, our creator. There is no work greater than serving him and glorifying his name” Gabriel spoke out.

“We know only thee, Lord, and we serve thee for as long as we exist,” All the angels said in unison, bowing their heads in worship.

“Thou shall be blessed and enriched a hundredfold so long as though stay pure as thy God and serve him with love” came the mighty voice, it was of the Lord.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Glory to God, the king and maker of the heavens, his dwelling place. Praise to his name, for his powers are without measures and his love is the greatest, that no being can comprehend. Blessed are those who stand for the Lord, for he shall always stand with them through it all. Blessed be God, forever, holy is his presence, and truthful are his words” All the angels hail in praises to the lord.

All the angels were aware of the position held by Lucifer in heaven and how powerful he was but they watched God cast him like nothing. Indeed, his might is unlike that they have ever seen.

They all saw how powerful Michael became as soon as he raised his sword to fight the Lord’s battle.

Audrey was lost at how beautifully they sang to their God, she felt almost as though she belonged there but then, she felt this sudden pull from her feet.

The spot beneath her opens and she sees herself falling into space. She screamed out, begging to be saved but it was as though she was invisible for them to see.

Seeing that no one was coming to her aid, she willingly prepared herself for the fall, waiting to die.

A few inches to be consumed by the darkness below, she screams so loud, waking up from her deep slumber. Only then, did she realize herself on the bed, staring at the empty room, sweat oozing out of her face as if it were water.

Her beat beats against her chest as she turns around in search of that one person capable of making her go crazy.

Her heart sank deeper when she couldn’t find him, and with fear of losing him, she threw herself off the bed and rushed outside in haste.

Her steps slowed down when she saw him seated in the same spot they were before she fell asleep. Tears never stopped falling down her cheeks.

“Ain’t you gonna judge me?” He asked, breaking the dead silence.

He willingly shows her his downfall and the cause of knowing her mind. If she will judge him like the others did or if she sticks by his side regardless.

“There is no one that doesn’t desire things, I too am not excluded. Was it wrong to want to be like Him? To have a place to rule and be king over my people?” He kept asking but never looked at her.

Her heart aches more at his words, she shakes her head in denial. “You did nothing wrong, nothing at all” she cried and rushed to him taking him into a tight hug.

Deep down, she knows he is at fault. Everything proves it but then, why does her heart tell her otherwise? Why does she feel pity for him and stand for him even after knowing the truth?

Audrey before now would have run away, far away but she’s different now. So many things have changed in her that she can’t tell what’s happening anymore.

Those things she always considered wrong are now good while the good things are considered as bad.

“I will never judge you, and it doesn’t matter how good or evil you are, I will never quit you because I love you, and I want to be with you, only you” she voices out her heart.

She believes she can change him, that’s if she puts more conviction in herself and believes in the God the angels were singing praises to.

Growing up, Audrey had never had the opportunity to learn about the invisible God, her dad never cared to teach her, and neither did she think she had a little knowledge about him.

Only now, she knows and understands. And she believes she can change him, Her Cannon, and make him love his God once again.
