Crusaders III: The New Age 1.51

The Event Frozen Seconds

10.1.        The Event Frozen – First Explanation

If there was a way to describe the place, you would need to be dead to feel it. There was nothing there, and yet something was there to hold it all in. It was translucent and yet your feet felt the solid feel when you move your feet. There was nothing to be seen there, all wide and deep of nothingness, as it one was looking at deep space, with no horizon.

But there were some figures there. There were the three figures which stood on one side, facing another four figures in the white robes. In between them were nine more figures facing them, of which one was featured with a set of double horns for appearance.

“Brothers, welcome back to your rightful place.” Micheal the Angel spoke up. He had always made himself the leader among them. “We were asked to bring you back. Father had seen enough of our battles.”

“So where is Father?” Azazel asked but no one replied. The he saw there was one missing figure.

“Where’s my squire? He was a Crusader, and deserved to be here.”

“Calm down, Azazel.” Micheal the Angel spoke up. “Your squire was not of us. He was an abomination which you had adopted to assist in your works as the Crusaders.”

“Azazel? He was one of them?” It was Leviathan who spoke and stood away from Azazel. Baal and Lucifer laughed out on the new discovery.

“Azazel, you hid yourself well from us all these times. Shamzehai and yourself, the leading ones to come down and you disappear ~” Lucifer spoke out on the two who were the first to descend to the dimension.

“I was bound to the desert by Raphael. All you knew that.” Azazel defended his imprisonment by the other. “It was in Dudael. It was all dark and I screamed for vengeance. None of you came. I screamed for mercy and none of you assisted.”

“Yet you stood before us after such a long time. We were fighting the Crusaders, pursuing your initial plans of conquering the dimension.” Lucifer raised his voice. “Where were you? And you too, Shamzehai?”

Shemzehai stepped forth and smiled to his brethren brothers.

“If you could all recall, it was I who ask to be here in the dimension. Man had denied the true ways of which Man was to live in the dimension. He had pro-create not in flesh but also in the mind. Man was tainted from the first when the Apple was bitten. I pleaded with Father to restore order her.” Shamzehai looked to his brethren. “Heed Father’s words then as I recall for you all. And what will become of the world now without man?”

“Father sent us but he did caution us that we would be sinned as Man. Nevertheless, his caution was not heeded by us. We are tainted ourselves, like Man.” Shamzehai raised his hands to motioned to all of them. “We embraced sins by our own choice.”

“I was one too.” Shamzehai recalled his betrayal by the woman he loved then, and seen her stole a gift of his. “Since then, I seen my own bloodline shed by one of my breathen.”

Shamzehai looked at the Angel named Micheal.

“They were mine to remove as the wishes of Father. Your bloodline cannot be allowed to continue.” The Angel Micheal retorted back. “It was his wish~.”

“And your doing.” Shamzehai hit back. “I penance myself in the inter dimension in grief, and ….in waiting.”

“You chose to bring wrath upon all of that you had assisted in creating.” It was then Rapheal who spoke up. “I had imprisoned the wrong one. It should been you I should have.”

“Not you were wrong, Rapheal. Azazel resisted self penance but I did it myself. Father knew of it.” Shamzehai replied. “I saw the conflicts of Man as they pursue the gifts bestowed by us. The atrocities they do with the knowledge and the ongoing fight between good and evil.” Shamzehai sighed. “It was never to end unless you know how it would end.”

“So tell~” The Angel Micheal interjected but was cut off by the other.

“I saw your wars, Lucifer.” Shamzehai looked to the one he had named. “You had it all planned but you were thwarted not by Man, but by one of us. You knew that now.”

Shamzehai pointed to Azazel.

“The one named Gerald Black. Or you knew him as Azazel.”
