The Day Of Redemption (pt 1)

Zaphikel Raziel Nelo Rosiel Katan Raphael Arjun The Council


Hutgin: :As the day had gone on, there was a small quake up in the foothills near the falt-line causing some new cracks in the land's crust of Earth; in this the young looking man crawled out of seemingly no where. His name Hutgin. Dusting himself off and looking around for a moment he knew this time he was finally out of the Underworld, but for how long.. and now that he was out.. where could he go. Bringing out his angel wings for the first time in quite a long time, he flies toward the city:
Raziel: ::Raziel is walking through the city, searching for a place to take some breakfast and a hot cup of coffee::
Hutgin: :Landing in a darkened alleyway, he hides his wings and with a warm smile on his face for the fact of being able to fly freely was something, but he was quite hungry, and had plenty of money that he got out of the safes that were all around the Underworld he wouldn't have to panhandle for it this time. Making his way up the sidewalk, he came to a lovely little shop that was just setting some small tables out for people. Sitting down at one a waiter soon came up to him and took his order:
Raziel: ::while walking he finds a small Chinese shop where they sell exactly the sort of tea Zaphikel always drinks. He knocks on the door until somebody opens and buys some of the tea. Then he walks on till he finds a lil shop just around the corner. he asks one of the waiters if they've already opened and when he gets a yes as answer, he orders a coffee and sits down. Taking a short look around he realizes he's the only guest at this time, except for a young man sitting on the table next to his own one::
Hutgin: :sitting there watching the passers-bys with a slight worried look on his face he thinks to himself a moment: *man I hope they don't make a roll-call till later.. I just excepted and I've got to find a way .. somehow to get back into Atziluth... it's been so damned long.. I don't even know if the gatekeepers will even let me pass. :with shaky hands, he picks up the glass of cold water and takes a long drink:
Raziel: ::while waiting for the coffee, he takes a book out of his bag. It's something he kept from the academy, written in the angelic writing. He starts to read, completely ignoring the people around, for he is used to be on Earth and doesn't care for their sometimes strange looks at him anymore::
Hutgin: :looking around waiting for his food to come out, he seen you sitting there at a table just next to his. Taking a moment he looked at the spine of the book you were looking at, and almost with a shocked gasp: Oh by the Gods... um.. excuse me.. um but where did you find that book?
Raziel: ::a bit shocked he looks at you:: That one? ::puts the book back into his bag:: In a bookstore of course. Where do you find books? ::feeling caught a bit, but doesn't think you know what kind of book it is::
Hutgin: :with a disapproving look, he knew very well he wasn't back in Atziluth, it wasn't that easy to enter from the outer worlds, and for being in Hell for so long, he gives you a nod with a disagreeing sound of a hum: mmm.. right a bookstore.. My Archangelic damned ass. Better question is then.. why you here on Earth and not in Atziluth?
Raziel: ::now really shocked, he jumps up:: What are you talking about? Are you insane? What the heck is Atziluth? ::taking a few steps back:: Whatever your problem is, I don't know what you're talking about.
Hutgin: :standing as well, he looked right to you: That book is something from Atziluth is it not.. please.. :his tone calms down, and he drops to his seat a moment, looking up to you with sadness now showing: I've been wrongly accused countless years ago... I'm trying to get back home and this is the first time in years since I've even been out of the Underworld. For someone to have such a book .. well, you're an angel are you not?
Raziel: Well I.... ::looks at you, thinking about if he can trust you. Then he sits down on a chair next to you:: Sit down please. Yes, I am an angel... well, not really, because I'm no longer at the academy. But I really want to beg you not to talk that loud. The people here will call the police, they will think we're both insane. ::smiles at him:: What do mean with Underworld? Aren't you an angel yourself?
Hutgin: :moving closer to you and looking around to make sure there was no crowds starting up because of the outburst, then looks back to you: I was an Archangel before I was wrongly accused and sent to Hell with the rest ... centuries ago I figure by now, but down there .. There is no sense of time less you can come and go freely. I just excepted a few miles out of town through a crack in the ground.
Raziel: ::staring at you with big eyes:: You mean.... They sent you to hell? Oh my... ::swallows hardly:: That's hard. I... I was born as an unplanned child... but they only sent me to the skid row, not to hell........
Hutgin: :with a smug sigh for a moment: You got off easy.. I was in a way blackmailed and well, was unlawfully trailed so I got sent to Hell with everyone else that were the real trouble makers. I haven't been able to get out till now and I ... :looks at a few passerby's for a moment then back to you: .. I need to get back into Atziluth before they know I'm gone or I'll wind up in the Land of Tears for a good century. :leaning closer to you to whisper a moment as some mortals walked close by the table: ... I'd rather have my wings clipped then face Nelo for a beating...
Raziel: ::nods:: I think I understand what you mean.... Nelo....... :thinking about the name for a moment, where did he hear it before? Then thinking about the two brothers he and Zaphikel ran in some days ago:: I don't know if I can help you... ::seeing an older man standing close to them. He seems to listen to their talk. Raziel lowers his head for a moment, but you can see his eyes glow red just for two or three seconds. Then the old man shakes his head and walks by, as if there hadn't been anything. He looks at you again:: But maybe I can talk to somebody who can help you.
Hutgin: :looking over to the older man the moment he seen your eyes glow a moment, and shaking his own head then, he heard your world, giving you a nod then: That would be something but I can't stay in one place for too long.. I don't know if 'they' might know if I'm gone yet or not.. but I would have to say as soon as :he looks back toward the cafe as if he's yelling through the open door: Would ever get out here to some hungry people! :looks back to you with a smile:
Raziel: Maybe I could ask Zaphikel-Sama to help you. If they have sent you there for a thing you really haven't done there must be a way to show them that you're innocent. I... I could maybe tell them ::lowers his head for a moment:: But no, I can't ::looks at you:: I would bring myself in danger....... but there must be a way.
Hutgin: :with bright eyes a moment hearing the name after so long:... Zaphikel-Sama is the reason why I was sent there.. in a matter of speaking of cause. There would be no way he would grant me entrance... :leaning back in the chair and just looking up to the sky above: .. I'm screwed... :closing his eyes a moment to think, and then looking back to you: Do you have anyone else in mind? Someone in rank other then Zaphikel-Sama that would maybe be able to get me in? :tapping his head a moment thinking:.. what about... um.. damn all to Hell what was his name...
Raziel: ::looks at you now very hard:: What about Zaphikel-Sama? What do you mean he was the reason? ::stands up:: Listen, if that's anything involving Zaphikel-Sama, then I'll leave now. I'm his assistant and I'd never do anything against him.
Hutgin: :with a deep worried look, but keeping a soft tone: No, I meant nothing like that.. please.. let me explain.. I meant no harm to Zaphikel-Sama... please... just... :waving it off and turning back to his first table, lowering his head: Nelo will have his day in the park with me for this one for sure... :slamming his fist onto the table, he started to curse himself out under his breath, and you see a white feather through the back of the collar of his jacket peaking out from being hidden underneath:
Raziel: ::with a worried look on his face he sits down again, moving closer to you and laying an arm around your shoulders:: Hey, it's okay, please calm down ::takes a short look around to see if somebody has noticed the lil outburst, then looks back at you:: Calm down, everything's all right ::speaking with a soft voice:: I just worry about Zaphikel-Sama, that's all. He has so much enemies everywhere and I want to protect him.
Hutgin: :not saying anything for a moment but nodding to your words of protection of your leader, he looks to you out the corner of his eye: I know how it was then.. it must be the same even now.. :wiping away some tears that have come to his eyes he sits back slightly, but still not making full eye contact with you: Zaphikel-Sama is the reason why I was placed in Hell with the rest of them centuries ago... during the 'Great War'... I got blackmailed like I said and was thought to be working for Mundus at the time.. well.. :looking to you with sadness deep in his eyes: ... I'm innocent. please, I will grovel on my hands and knees for a long time if that is what it would take for them to allow me back in... I would even willingly clip my own wings if that's what it would take...
Raziel: ::gently touching your cheek:: I don't think you would like it to lose your wings. If they cut them off you'll lose your life as well. Your body would rot and you would die. And by the way it must be the greatest of pain.... ::placing his hand on your face, he forces you to look at him directly:: Don't worry, we will find a way. It is my duty to tell Zaphikel-Sama everything I do. But maybe I can just say that I thought it wasn't that important afterwards. And maybe we can talk to Rosiel-Sama....
Hutgin: :slowly remembering things about Atziluth, and everything that went along with it, he looked to you: I've seen pain... and as well know how to clip someone's wings without the total loss as what might happen, but never tested it myself. :calming down from his crying he nods thinking about Rosiel-Sama, but then shakes his head against it.: no.. I want to be able to talk to the most high if at all given the chance or not at all. It must be.
Raziel: But... he is sleeping.... ::looks at you very serious:: Rosiel-Sama IS the highest one now. You have to talk to him. Nobody else could help you out of that.
Hutgin: :after a moment and seeing the food finally arrive, he slowly nods to your words of speaking to Rosiel-Sama: All right. So how do we set this up.. I just can't follow you back.. I would never get through the gates.
Raziel: Well..... ::thinking about that:: I know that him and Katan are here on earth very often. I think they have a place to go somewhere here.... ::thinking about that, then his face shows a very happy smile:: I know. We just have to find the most expensive hotel in the city. There he`ll be, I`m sure.
Hutgin: :nodding to you for a moment: Lets eat and then we'll try to find them.. I'm starving.. haven't had real food for quite some time and well this stuff is getting to me now that I'm calmed down again :he looks to you warmly a moment: Did you order anything to eat? You can have some of mine if you wish... oh.. I've forgot.. my name is well... in hell I went by the name of Hutgin... but my Archangel name was Arjun-Kun
Raziel: I`m Raziel ::smiles at you:: no, I didn`t order anything to eat, just coffee.... ::looks over to the table where he sat before:: But I think it`s cold now. And we should hurry. I don`t know how long I can stay here before Zaphikel-Sama calls me back.
Rosiel: ::in his hotel room he is lying on the bed, eyes closed, almost sleeping::
Hutgin: :eatting fast and calling for a to-go box he stands up and waits for you as well: come on then.. I stayed in one place long enough as it was myself.. Nelo might be looking soon enough and I can't afford to run into that demon right now.
Katan: ::just walking up to the hotel room he shares with Rosiel, carrying some breakfast he has made for his master::
Raziel: ::stands up as well:: Okay, let`s go.
Rosiel: **Where the heck is that idiot with my food?**
Hutgin: :following you down the sidewalk a moment: Let me think just a moment.. I kind of know the city but down there everything is backwards in a sence.. lets head over to the main drag.. there should be plenty of rich looking hotels there.
Katan: ::opens the door to the hotel room:: Rosiel-Sama..? ::just a test if he´s awake:: I brought breakfast...
Rosiel: Good...I'm starving to death.....::smiles to himself:: What did you bring me?
Raziel: ::stops for a moment, looking at you:: Well, I could find them very easily... just give me a moment ::he closes his eyes, but you can see a shining red light under the eyeslids::
Hutgin: :looking questionable to you but not bothering to ask, he waits:
Katan: Well, as always, some bread, yoghurt and strawberries. ::while telling him, he grabs a small table and places it next to the bed, putting a plate on it and the stuff he bought:: You want something to drink, Rosiel-Sama?
Raziel: ::opens his eyes again, the red glimmer disappears, looks at you:: I know where he is. Just follow me ::smiles::
Hutgin: :nodding but still having the questionable look on his face: alright.. lets go
Rosiel: ::sits up:: Water...in a clean glass.....
Katan: ::nods with a smile:: Sure ::leaves the room to get some water and a clean glass::
Raziel: ::seeing the look on your face, he just turns and starts walking, not wanting you to know about his special talent, for he has made the experience that people don`t like others who are different::
Hutgin: :following close on your heals, things were still a bit fuzzy in his mind of what some of the powers were that even he could do, but working in his cell with his wings kept that in tact.. as far as the other things.. he just wasn't totaly sure of yet.:
Raziel: ::straightly heading for a large expensive looking hotel:: Over there they are. Room 304
Katan: ::comes back with a glass of water and hands it to his master:: Here. How are the strawberries?
Hutgin: :looking up the face of the building, and then back to you: Lets go.. what are we waiting for.. Nelo could be showing up any moment now.. I have a really bad feeling about this.
Rosiel: ::takes the glass and looks at it:: Do you call this a clean glass? ::throws it at Katan:: The strawberries are okay.....
Katan: ::takes a deep breath:: Fine, I`ll look for another glass ::takes the one Rosiel had thrown from the ground, happy that it hasn`t been shattered, and walks out of the room again. Outside he leans at the door for a moment:: Am I an idiot or what? ::sighs and walks over to the bathroom where he cleans the glass::
Rosiel: ::eating his breakfast::**What does he think? That I'm blind?**
Raziel: ::walking over to the hotel:: Yes, we should hurry. Come. ::enters the great hall and walks over to the elevators::
Katan: ::comes back into the room, handing the now really clean glass to Rosiel, then takes a bottle of evian water out of the board::
Hutgin: :looking to the doors a moment before they open: Um... could we maybe take the stairs? :you could hear the worryness in his tone; stepping back slowly from them:
Raziel: ::looks at you:: Sure... but why? What are you afraid could happen in there?
Rosiel: Much better this time......Katan....you really need to improve......
Hutgin: :keeping his eyes on the doors more then you, and with a shaky tone: You.. don't.. want to know... come on.. the stairs must be near by.. :looking around for a sign: There.. :pointing:
Katan: ::fills some water in the glass:: Sure....
Raziel: Okay ::follows you, not understanding, but he decides to trust your bad feelings::
Rosiel: While I eat, you start brushing my hair, Katan....
Hutgin: :getting to the stairs he opens the door slowly and looks up and down the shaft of the stairways, then looked back to you: Alright .. we have alot of steps.. at least they're going up
Katan: As you wish... ::sits down on the bed behind Rosiel. Looking at his back for a moment:: **If I wanted... I could easily.... oh no** ::shakes his head and starts to brush his master`s long hair gently::
Rosiel: Don't ever even think about it........::he does not turn around, his voice is soft. He holds still while Katan brushes his hair.:: I can feel such things.....you should know that.....
Raziel: ::looks up:: Okay then, let`s hurry ::he starts to run upstairs::
Katan: ::lightly nods:: Yes, I know...... ::smiles::
Rosiel: ::with a soft smile:: Asshole....
Katan: ::with same smile and the same voice:: Thank you....
Hutgin: :bolting up the steps taking at least two at a time, they make the second floor and halfway up the third, when the alarms start to sound about one of the elevaters having problems. Looking to you as he was just about keeping time with you, his face was as white as a ghost:... Shit.... Nelo....!
Rosiel: You need a beating.....::still smiling and the voice is even softer now::
Katan: And what do you need?
Raziel: ::stops:: Then run. I`m not that fast, I`ll take a flight. Go now and don`t wait for me ::feeling an incredible strong power::
Rosiel: I need my hair brushed.....
Nelo: :just as the alarms stopped sounding the doors on the first floor opened Nelo steped out into the lobby and looked around: I know that little crap is here.. his trail was too easy.. now where could he be...
Katan: ::laughs:: Yes, I see. Is there something else I can do for you?
Rosiel: KATAN! Shut up you pitiful being! Don't dare to offer something to me!
Hutgin: :looking to you one last time: What's the number again?? 30...??
Raziel: ::screaming after you:: ..4! ::then he turns around and runs over to the elevators, stopping when he sees nelo:: Oh shit.....
Katan: ::still laughing but then he stops, feeling something strange:: What is that?
Hutgin: :bolting up the steps and getting to the right floor, he starts running down the hallways looking for the room talking to himself: 304.. 304.. where the Hell is 304....
Rosiel: I don't know and don't care.....I'll not go out just dressed in a shirt to find out.....
Katan: Shall I go and take a look?
Rosiel: Why? Is that what is out there MY problem?
Katan: :shakes his head, continues brushing Rosiel`s hair:: No
Nelo: :looking around the lobby and then with a quick glance back toward the elevators, he see you: Angel.... where is Hutgin! You have him here.. :he starts to take long strides of walking right to you:
Raziel: ::just standing there, looking at Nelo:: I don`t know what you`re talking about
Hutgin: :getting to the right door, he knocks with force and unwillingness to wait: Rosiel-Sama.. oh by the gods.. please be in the room... Hello.. Hello!
Rosiel: Who is disturbing me?
Katan: ::jumps up::
Nelo: :looking to you with his eyes now glowing brightly: You have a fugitive with you somewhere in this building and I'm here to collect him.. now either tell me where he is at, or I will go right through you!
Rosiel: Open my door, Katan......
Katan: ::walks over to the door and opens it:: Yes, please...?
Hutgin: :still poinding on the door: Rosiel-Sama.. please for God's sake be here...!
Hutgin: ...gasping a moment.. I need to see Rosiel-Sama.. please it's life or death... Nelo is after me!
Raziel: ::without any reaction:: Come and try. But be warned, I can use every single part of your power against you. You don`t want to fight against your own power, do you? ::his eyes start to glow in a shiny red::
Rosiel: What is this thing, Katan?
Katan: ::has still not opened the door more than a bit:: I don`t know. ::to Hutgin:: Who are you and what do you want from Rosiel-Sama?
Nelo: :laughing hard for a moment, and in a joking tone: Well... then I would be fighing against my own brother.. maybe you know him.. Ruler of Hell... James Dante? :then with harshness: Get out of my way Angel!
Hutgin: :By the grace of Atziluth.. I need to come in.. it's life or death.. for me.. Nelo is come to collect me.. Please, I'll explain everything once I'm inside.. please...!!
Raziel: No, I don`t know your brother, demon ::the red light now goes around his whole body and Nelo can feel his own power turning against him, even his body doesn`t react as he wants it::
Rosiel: Let it enter.....
Katan: ::opens the door completely:: Come in. But watch your steps.
Nelo: :grabbing his head a moment trying to fight against the matter at hand, he starts to moan and grumble:....raaaaahhhh....
Hutgin: :hurring inside and right at the moment he fully enters the room he gets to his hands and knees with his head low to the floor: Forgive me for this intruson... Rosiel-Sama... I need your help in a grave matter at hand... :he keeps his head down not allowing to make eye contact with you:
Raziel: ::while using every part of nelo`s power to hit him hard, he opens the window next to him. Then he hits him with all of his own power, jumps out of the window and opens his wings:: Good luck, demon ::flies up, searching for the power of Rosiel::
Nelo: :fighting against everything you were giving him he opens a doorway and slips back into the underworld closing it behind him:
Rosiel: ::looks at him with satisfaction in his eyes. While still sitting on the bed, he looks at Katan:: Close the door again......
Katan: ::closes the door and crosses his arms, watching Hutgin with a frown::
Raziel: ::arrives at the right room and lands on the balcony. Taking a look inside he sees Hutgin, then knocks on the balcony door::
Hutgin: :still with his head down: Rosiel-Sama.. Sir.. I plead to you... :hearing the knock on the balcony door, but still not moving:
Rosiel: ::looks to the balcony:: Raziel......::winks at him to make him enter:: And you.....now tell me what is going on!
Raziel: ::comes inside:: Rosiel-Sama, forgive me, but it really is important ::completely out of breath for he used a lot of his power against Nelo::
Katan: ::looking from Hutgin to Raziel and back:: **Do we have open door day here?**
Hutgin: :looking to Raziel but then lowers his head to Rosiel still: I'm an archangel, but wrongly accused.. been in Hell for the past centries or so... I ask for a trail to see if I may return to Atziluth
Rosiel: ::looking at Hutgin:: So......and why do you come to my room screaming like the whole army of hell was after you?
Raziel: There was a demon.... ::almost breaking down he sits down on the ground, his face full of sweat::
Hutgin: :looking up to you but not making full eye contact with you: The Ruler of the Land of Tears was after me.. :looking to Raziel.. he almost caught us but I ran up here...
Rosiel: Take care of Raziel, Katan....
Katan: ::walks over to Raziel, takes him up and lays him on the couch::
Raziel: ::still breathing hard he closes his eyes:: Thank you....
Rosiel: And you think you don't belong in hell?
Hutgin: :looking to Rosiel a moment: I was wrongly accused.. I only ask for a trail... in Atziluth if at all possible or I will be taken right back and surly beaten to death, and that is an understatement.
Rosiel: So...and you think this is MY problem? Look at me when I'm talking to you!! ::stands up right in front of Hutgin::
Raziel: ::opening his eyes again, his breath is getting slower now:: Please help him, Rosiel-Sama. You are the only one who can. He really is innocent, I know it.
Katan: ::steps behind Hutgin, ready to do something if he sees the smallest movement that could harm Rosiel::
Hutgin: :looking to you at attion, and his hands now at his sides as if he was in the millitary and you were the commander: Rosiel- Sama.. sir.. I cannot enter through the gates.. I had found myself out of hell through a secret passage... I need this trial to occore in Atziluth or I am to suffer a thousand deaths
Rosiel: You are searching for something that simply is not here.....I ain't got sympathy.....And where is the demon that was after you now? ::looking hard at Hutgin:: If you want to return to Atziluth, tell me a good reason why I should allow you to!
Raziel: ::stands up slowly and walks over to Rosiel:: Rosiel-Sama... the demon went through a portal he had made.... just in the middle of the room... ::still very weak he almost falls down on his knees, but Katan catches and holds him::
Hutgin: :with a sadness now over his face, he kept his attion to you, but was also fighing back his tears: I was blackmailed against the matter of when Mundus was run out of Atziluth when the Great War took place. I need to prove myself worthy in any means possible, even if I must become the lowest rank possible and rise again to Archangel.. I will do such a thing.
Rosiel: Prove to me that you are worth that I allow you to stand before the 7 Great Angels so they can decide what to do with you.....:::looks at Raziel:: You stay down....you're too weak ::Back to Hutgin:: And if you start to cry now, I'll send you back to hell by my own! I hate it when people try to catch my sympathy. I told you there is none......
Raziel: ::leaning against Katan, he looks at Rosiel with pleading eyes:: Please, Rosiel-Sama... he really is innocent... you have to believe me....
Rosiel: ::gives Raziel a stern look:: I HAVE to? Did you really say that?
Raziel: ::lowers his head:: Please forgive me, Rosiel-Sama.... I didn`t mean to be impertinent.......
Hutgin: :getting enough courage for what he thought of doing he knew it was a drastic move but it would have to do. He took off his jacket and allowed his wings to come fully out. Taking a deep breath and clearing his mind, he reached for one wing and with a great pull of a feather that was a main flight carrer, he yanked the feather off his body and quickly did the same to the other wing. Looking back to you with tears now running down his face, he hands you the two feathers: This enough prof...?! I just clipped my own wings in such a way that I will not die.. but cannont fly.
Katan: ::holding Raziel harder now: Shall I bring him back to Zaphikel-Sama?
Rosiel: Who told you that you can't fly now anymore? They'll grow back.......Katan.....let him stay here.........and Hutgin......you are crying.......
Katan: ::looks over to Hutgin with a mean smile on his face:: Why don`t you give it up, you lil rat? Go back to hell where you belong.
Hutgin: :looking to you still quite sad: I have been out of Atziluth for over a centry or more sir.. they will not... and the feathers I took off of me.. will not grow back on their own.
Hutgin: :not even looking to Katan but hearing the remark, just stays at attion to Rosiel:
Rosiel: ::softly pets Hutgin's head. In a soft voice:: What shall I do with you.....?
Raziel: ::firing an angry look at Katan who still holds him::
Hutgin: :trying to calm down from the pain now felt almost throughout his intire body, he looks to him: Take me to Atziluth..
Rosiel: ::bursts out in laughter:: You still gave me no good reason to do that! You still try to get sympathy! I hate cowards and weaklings! Prove me you are strong! And don't dare to cry again! Or I really will send you to hell......right, Katan?
Katan: ::nods, with still that mean smile on his face::
Raziel: But... you can`t... he`s innocent..... ::tries to go over to Rosiel, but is held by Katan:: Rosiel-Sama,.... please stop that game... I beg you...
Hutgin: :he had it.. he lowed himself, and shook his head before stepping away from you. Looking to everyone now in the room. He picks up his jacket a moment and looks to Raziel for a moment: I knew it would be a waste of time... I'll send my own self to Hell and never come back.. you all but Raziel-Kun have a heart as cold as Vergil Nelo does... Good day...! :he turns and heads for the door of the room:
Rosiel: STOP! Don't dare to walk out now! ::he smiles at Hutgin::
Katan: Finally.... ::the mean smiles changes to a friendly one::
Hutgin: :turning to look back to Rosiel: Mundus should of held the throne... Zaphikel-Sama is probably a great leader.. I will not doubt that but if this :point to the rest of them in the room: Are his followers... I will suffer what more I must.
Raziel: ::looking from Katan to Rosiel, not understanding their sudden change of mind::
Rosiel: I think you got something wrong.....Zaphikel-sama is the Great Throne.....but I AM the ruler of Atziluth!
Hutgin: I have been in Hell for ever since the Great War ended.. I have no knowladge of who is who any more.. and for that matter to prove a point.. I have had my mind washed! I've only begun to remember things. I came to ask for forgiveness.. hopes for a trail to prove myself in the right, and I get treated like a fucking hell's dog! No wait.. they get better treatment then this.
Raziel: ::to Katan, inside his mind::**Katan, if you don`t let me go now, I`ll make you dance around in your underwear**. After that Katan lets him free. He runs over to Hutgin:: Don`t you understand. Here`s the point. They don`t wanted you to beg and cry. You showed Rosiel-Sama that you are strong by stopping to beg him. He will help you now, I`m sure ::looks at him with big eyes::
Rosiel: Raziel here is right. I will give you the chance to speak in front of the High Council. ::smiles at him::
Katan: ::crosses his arms and walks over to Rosiel, taking his place behind him::
Rosiel: ::leans back against Katan::
Hutgin: :looking to Raziel a moment then to the others and back again: Pull a feather out yourself.. see how it feels.. it hurst! :looking back to them: I won't show no one anything that I feel I shouldn't be done.. but I will .. :he stops hearing Rosiel's words:
Raziel: ::gently touching Hutgin`s face:: Believe me, I know what pain is... don`t worry anymore. We will prove your innocence....
Hutgin: :nodding lightly to you, he gently touched his hand to your's that was on his face: thank you...
Rosiel: Come here, Arjun.......Yes, I do know your name......let me touch your wings......::a soft smile on his beautiful face::
Arjun: :looking quickly to Rosiel at the sound of his real name, a moment of shock in his eyes, he took a moment but then slowly came to you; opening his wings slightly for you to look them over or do as you wished. Lowering his sight from your own to respect your rank:
Rosiel: ::his hand reaches out and touches the wing softly. A warm feeling flows through Arjun's body and the feathers start to grow back::
Arjun: :with a inward gasping sound of refreshment, he felt the feathers grow back and even the smaller ones that were burned or damaged in other ways refix themself. Looking to you with added warmth now in his eyes, he smiled lightly to you:... Thank you Rosiel-Sama. I will do anything for you to repay for such a thing.. name it.. I will be a slave till otherwise noted.
Raziel: ::smiles at Rosiel:: Thank you, Rosiel-Sama... I knew you would help him....
Rosiel: I already have a slave........but I will see what I'll do with you......
Katan: ::coughs::
Arjun: :nodding softly a moment: anything... that is all I ask.
Rosiel: SO...I think we should now all return to Atziluth so I can call for the High Council to meet.....
Raziel: ::nods and smiles at Arjun:: They will hear you, isn`t that great?
Arjun: :nodding lightly: hearing and doing something about it will be the real test of all this, but I thank you the most Raziel-Kun.
Rosiel: Cherubim Katan, open the gates of Atziluth for Arjun......
Raziel: ::just smiles and takes Arjun`s hand::
Katan: ::he opens a door just in the middle of the room:: Step through it, Arjun-kun. Raziel will go with you. He`ll bring you to the place where we`ll meet.
Rosiel: Take your time....we need some to call them all.....
Arjun: :Nodding warmly to Katan, he starts walking with Raziel, just lightly scared of what he is about to go though he follows as if he was only a child again:
Raziel: ::taking Arjun with him, he steps through the gate. Just a moment later they are in the gardens of Atziluth, just where Raziel always leaves when he`s with Zaphikel::
Arjun: :looking around in wonderment, he is almost speachless taking in all the beauty as if it was his 'very' first time here:.....wow......
Rosiel: Let's go and gather them, Katan.....this is your job.....I'll wait for them in the Council's Hall....
Raziel: ::smiles at Arjun:: It`s beautiful here, isn`t it? ::then his eyes start to shine:: Hey, do you want to see my dolphins?
Katan: Yes, Rosiel-Sama... ::with that he turns around and disappears, reappears in Atziluth and walks straightly over to his office::
Arjun: :hearing you words, he lightly nods, and then looks to you blinking his eyes a moment: Dolphins?.. you.. you have dolphins?
Raziel: ::nods:: Yes, Zaphikel-Sama gave them to me as a present. They`re so sweet. Come with me ::takes his hand:: It`s not far from here.
Arjun: :walking with you to where you lead, he was thinking to himself: *dolphins... the last time I seen dolphins were only in my dreams.. man.. I hope to the gods I'm home.. I don't want to go back...*
Katan: ::in his office he makes a few phone calls to invite the High Angels to the meeting::
Rosiel: ::goes into his rooms to dress himself for the meeting. When he has finished he looks just awesome and very beautiful::
Raziel: ::dragging the poor angel with him he finally arrives at the great bassin where his two dolphins are swimming in. They`re playing with each other, jumping and making those funny dolphin noises::
Arjun: :looking around at the huge tank, he slowly starts to smile and look back and forth from you to the dolphins and back again: They are beautiful.. what are their names?
Zaphikel: ::suddenly is standing behind Raziel. The blind one moves as silently as a shadow:: You are already back, Raziel-kun?
Raziel: ::turns around:: Za...Zaphikel-Sama... ::after the first shock he smiles widely:: Yes, I`m back. There`s something important going on. Did katan call you? ::to Arjun:: Their names are Sandy and Mandy........
Arjun: :with a shocking stiffness he stands there with his hand trembling in your hand as he hears the voice of Zaphikel-Sama behind them :nodding softly still not saying anything:
Zaphikel: I wasn't at the office......who's the man with you, Raziel-kun? ::he smiles happily into Raziel's direction::
Raziel: His name is Arjun ::smiles at the archangel:: There will be a meeting because of him, for he was sent to hell, but he`s innocent.
Arjun: :turning to face you he bows his head to you: Zaphikel-Sama.. my name is Hut.... er.. Arjun-Kun.. sir.
Katan: ::knocks on the door to Rosiel`s room:: Rosiel-Sama? I can`t reach Zaphikel-Sama. The others are coming.
Rosiel: For sure he is in the gardens.....Raziel will bring him to the meeting...come in......::smiling to his reflection in the mirror:::...Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the most beautiful of them all?
Raziel: ::grins at Arjun:: You don`t have to bow to him, he can`t see it...
Zaphikel: Right...I can't....I'm blind....
Katan: ::enters the room, seeing Rosiel stand in front and talk to the mirror and just shakes his head::
Arjun: :looking to Raziel a moment and back to Zaphikel and back again: He's the blind one that I heard Nelo speak of then... oh.. okay.
Raziel: ::shocked:: What...? ::to Zaphikel:: You know that Nelo demon?
Zaphikel: It seems so.....but if there is a meeting we should go now......Arjun-kun....you'll have to wait outside until we call for you....Raziel-kun will explain it to you and then he'll join me in the hall...::smiles and walks away::
Arjun: :looking to both of them a moment, with a light tone: As you wish.. :he follows behind to where they were going, just looking quickly at all the beauty around him being such a change of the death and decay of Hell.. this was much much better:
Raziel: ::nods, then looks at Arjun with a very serious expression on his face:: Okay, listen. You`ll wait outside, till somebody calls you in. When they think you`re dagerous, they`ll tie you down. But don`t be afraid. You only have to answer their questions. But don`t lie, they`ll know it. You have to tell them everything they want to know. And be polite!!!!
Uriel: ::Enters the hall from the backside of the building, together with Sariel. they sit down at their places::
Arjun: :looking to you almost as a small child would, he lightly nods slowly in agreement to what you have to say: Wait till called.. answer with only truth.. be polite.. okay...
Katan: ::already in the hall, waiting for Rosiel::
Mikhael: ::enters with an already bored face and takes his place:: Katan.....why?
Katan: Rosiel-Sama will tell you, Mikhael-Sama. Please wait until he`s here.
Raziel: ::waiting in front of the big doors to the hall, loking at Arjun with a caring smile:: Are you afraid?
Dobiel: ::enters and takes his place::
Arjun: :looking to his feet a moment, then to the doors and then to you for only an instant: ..well if I said no I'd be lieing.
Zaphikel: ::enters the hall and sits down:: Sorry that I wasn't at the office, Katan....
Katan: ::smiles:: We knew Raziel would find you, Zaphikel-Sama.
Raziel: ::suddenly hugs him:: You`ll do fine. Just don`t be afraid. I know you`re innocent and they won`t harm you ::gives him a quick kiss on the cheek:: I have to go now. Be strong ::smiles at him, then goes through the door and shuts it again behind him::
Raphael: ::enters the hall and sits down, his face shows his dislike of meetings::
Raziel: ::inside he runs over to Zaphikel to take his place at his side:: I`m here now, Zaphikel-Sama
Arjun: :with a bit of surprise, he didn't move for a little tap back on your shoulder, watching you walk into the hall and close the doors again. Thinking to himself: *I just wished I could of gotten a shower or something before coming here.. I look like Hell warmed over I bet.*
Rosiel: ::enters, sits down at the head of the table and takes a look around:: Where the hell is Sevothtarte???
Katan: I beg for pardon, Rosiel-Sama, he hasn`t arrived yet.
Arjun: :starting to pace back and forth right away, he trys to dust himself off, running his fingers though his hair seeing if it would help, looking to the doors now and then wondering just how long this might take:
Sefie: ::the doors open and Sefie (Sevothtarte) enters the hall. He gives Rosiel a swift look and sits down::
Rosiel: Sevothtarte, why are you late?
Raziel: ::whispering to Zaphikel:: Sefie has arrived.
Zaphikel: It's Sefie-sama to you, Raziel-kun....
Raziel: Sorry.......
Sefie: I got the call when I was in the middle of a meeting with the Seraphim....Forgive me, Rosiel-sama....
Arjun: :talking to himself: .. okay.. let me see if I remember this.. was an archangel.. doing my work waiting for the time to put my exams in for the ... and the war started to break.. got asked to do some work.. Mundus was telling me.. telling me to... to do what.. Crap.. I can't remember...
Rosiel: Katan, explain the situation to them....
Katan: ::nods:: First I want to welcome the Great Dominion Uriel-Sama, the Great Throne Zaphikel-Sama, the Great Power Mikhael-Sama ::nods at Mikhael:: The Great Principality Sariel-Sama, the Great Virtue Raphael-Sama, the High Cherubim Dobiel-Sama and the High Seraphim Sevothtarte-Sama ::bows to them:: The man that will stand in front of the High Council today is an archangel named Arjun. After the Great War he was sent to hell with others. He now says that he was sentenced innocently and wants the High Council to decide about his case again. ::looks at Rosiel, asking if that was enough::
Rosiel: Thank you, Katan.....now bring him in, Angel-trainee Raziel....
Raziel: ::stands up:: Yes, Sir ::he walks over to the doors and opens them:: Arjun, come in ::smiles at him::
Arjun: :pacing back and forth, looking at the doors every so often wondering what was going on inside, and what he might have to go though but this would almost, hopefully be easyer then what he's seen in Hell to encounter, then hearing you call him, he comes running up the steps: They're ready....??
Raziel: ::nods:: Good luck... ::takes him to a place in the middle of the hall, then walks over to his own place again::
Rosiel: ::stands up and looks at Arjun:: Welcome, Archangel Arjun.....
Katan: ::standing next to Rosiel, watching the faces of the others::
Arjun: :looking to everyone in the hall around him, he trys to smile lightly, and bows as well: Hello Great Council...:he lets his words drop off wondering just what to say or how to say it, his tonuge was rough from the talk going on in Hell and hopes that it wouldn't effect this hearing:
Rosiel: I'll now introduce the Council to you. To my right, this is the Great Virtue Raphael-sama, the Windangel, leader of the Virtues. ::Raphael shortly nods to Arjun::
Arjun: :nodding lightly: Raphael-sama... Windangel.. Greetings sir.
Rosiel: Next to Raphael-sama, it's the Great Power, Mikhael-sama, the Fireangel, leader to the Powers. ::Mika just looks at him::
Arjun: :nodding lightly to the following: Mikhael-sama.. Fireangel... Greetings sir.
Rosiel: Then it's the Great Dominion Uriel-sama, The Earthangel, The watcher of the Hades and leader to the Dominions....::Uriel looks at Arjun with soft eyes, nodding to him::
Arjun: :nodding in return: Uriel-sama... Earthangel.. Greetings sir.
Rosiel: Next to Uriel-sama we have the Great Throne, Zaphikel-sama, and his adjutant, Angel-trainee Raziel....::Zaphikel smiles softly::
Rosiel: To my left is my assistant, the Cherubim Katan, you already met him.
Arjun: :looking to Zaphikel a moment with a questioning gaze, knowing now that he was the blind one, he still bows to him: Zaphikel-sama... Great Throne... Greetings sir.. and greetings to you as well to all the rest.
Rosiel: Next to him, it's The Great Principality Sariel-sama, the leader to the Principalities, and in charge of the Mid-Air Corridor....::Sariel, whose rigth eye is hidden underneath a protection, what gives him the look of pirate, nods to Arjun::
Arjun: :looking to him in shock for a moment, he gets his smile back after a moment and nods to him: Sariel-sama...Great Principality :swallowing hard for a moment:... Greeting sir.
Rosiel: Then we have there the High Seraphim Sefie-sama, Sevothtarte, who was late for my meeting, now leading the Seraphim in replacement of the Great Seraphim Metatron, for he is only a child....::Sefie gives Rosiel a hateful look when he said that about being late then he just looks at Arjun with cold eyes. Nothing but his eyes are to see in his face for the rest is hidden behind a haze::
Arjun: :with a distant look, he lowers his head a moment: Sefie-sama... Sevothtarte.. Greetings.. sir
Rosiel: And the last one, next to Sevothtarte, is the High Cherubim, Dobiel-sama, now leading the Cherubim in absence of the Great Cherubim Jibril-sama....::Dobiel swiftly looks at Arjun::
Arjun: :nodding lightly, but a bit shaken from his quick look: Dobiel-sama... High Cherubim... Greetins sir.
Katan: ::a short sign of rage shows on his face when Dobiel is introduced::
Raziel: ::to Zaphikel, trying to whisper that nobody can hear him:: I think Dobiel-Sama and Sefie-Sama will vote against him.... they look so angry...
Zaphikel: shhht.....
Raziel: ::looks around, at the others around, trying to read the expression on their faces::
Rosiel: ::sits down again:: So, Arjun, now tell your case to the Council.....
Raziel: ::takes a short look at the huge Uriel right next to Zaphikel::
Arjun: :now more worried then what he was outside, he didn't know who to look at first wondering just who to speak at. Standing there, he takes a deep breath and takes only a very short moment: I just hope I may remember all this, my mind was in a way brain-washed a good centry ago.. but I was an Archangel just before the Great war broke out.
Raphael: Prove to us you are an angel, show your wings......::his voice sounds good, but bored. He looks at you with his blue eyes::
Arjun: :closing his eyes a moment to consintrate, he takes off his coat and moments later, his wings come fully out and full. Looking back to Raphael with a light smile:
Raziel: His wings came out........
Sefie: ::looks at Raziel with cold and dispisefull eyes. He does not like it that Raziel is in there and is allowed to whisper to Zaphikel for he is Zaphikel's eyes::
Raziel: ::seeing the look Sefie gives him, he swallows hardly and moves closer to Zaphikel::
Sariel: Go on with what you have to tell us....::looks at Arjun::
Uriel: ::In Raziel's mind:: **Could you change the place with Zaphikel? Then you can see for him and speak for me** ::smiles softly at Raziel::
Arjun: :nodding: Well... um.. at the time Mundus was having control of most of the angels, and I was doing a job for him.. I don't remember right now what that was but when the rightful ruler came to be.. the war broke out.. because I was doing the work for Mundus at the time.. I got blamed for working for the wrong side and was sent to Hell...
Raziel: ::whispers to Zaphikel:: Uriel-Sama askes me to change places with you...
Zaphikel: Rosiel-sama, may I change the seat with Raziel-kun? Uriel-sama wants him to speak for him......
Rosiel: Arjun, wait a moment.....sure, Zaphikel-sama.....
Arjun: :nodding, he flexed his wings and only folded them back against his back waiting:
Raziel: ::stands up and takes his chair back so Zaphikel can sit down on it. Then he sits down next to Uriel, a bit afraid of the very tall angel, but seeing his soft eyes, he only smiles at him::
Zaphikel: ::sits down again::
Uriel: ::in Raziel's mind:: **Ask him what he did when he was in hell, please....**
Raziel: ::nods:: Arjun, Uriel-Sama wants to know what you did when you were in hell.
Arjun: :looking over everyone wondering what they might ask him and then looking to Raziel a moment and then to Uriel-sama: I .. um.. how can I explain this.. I had to put on a form of coustom to look like a demon... and did work in the Realms. As for what I did.. it was anything from cleaning the stails of the animals, to sending some mortal's soul to the Land of Tears for Nelo to beat up and make suffer.
Sefie: What shows us you don't lie to us and are a spy for Mundus? I'm sure he still wants to conquer Atziluth......::his cold eyes rest on Arjun, watching every move he makes::
Arjun: :looking down for a moment he then looks to everyone: Mundus is dead and has been for some time, by the hands of the new Ruler James Ledger... he knows nothing of me excaping.. well.. Nelo could have gotten to him by now, but I will sware on all the great books if I must to prove that I am no spy. Name anything and I will do such a task to make you see I am telling the truth.
Dobiel: Well, first, what is a Nelo? ::looks at Arjun, then gives Katan a cold look to let him know he feels Katan's look on himself::
Katan: ::just gives Dobiel his typical polite smile, but with a mean look from his eyes::
Raziel: Nelo is that demon who was after us at the hotel........
Arjun: :looking to Dobiel a moment: His human form is that of a man about the height of 6'-4", he's the brother of the Ruler James... they are twins.. white hair... fair skin. In demon form.. it's something of a creature with skin covered wings, and dragon skin in a matter of speaking.. black as pitch
Mikhael: Dobiel, yer too dumb ta understand that, I guess.....yer just an idiot......let tha boy speak......and tell us what's important......::He smiles at Arjun:: Don't take the suckass too serious, bro....
Katan: ::can`t hold back a wide smile by hearing Mikhael`s words::
Arjun: :with a very light questioning look to Mikhael, he nods for a moment:
Rosiel: ::tries to fight his smile, but then he just laughes::
Raphael: Mika-chan.....::laughing:: That was a good one.......
Uriel: ::smiles::
Dobiel: ::stares very angry at Mikhael:: lil punk......grow up before you talk to me......
Raziel: ::looks at Zaphikel:: Can he say that to him...? ::a bit shocked::
Zaphikel: You heard that he can.....
Arjun: :not saying anything he just stands there and looks to everyone that is fighting among themselves:
Mikhael: GROW UP!?!??!!!! YOU!!!!!!!!!::::he jumps up, ready to kill Dobiel:::
Rosiel: Katan, would you please help Mikhael-sama to cool his mind outside?
Arjun: :jumpping back away from everyone, and his wings quivering from fright, not remember what the powers of everyone would be like, but he doesn't say anything, and just looks to Raziel with worryness in his eyes:
Katan: ::with a smile:: Sure, Sir ::walks over and grabs Mikhael, throws him over his shoulder and heads for the door:: You can throw with dirty words outside, Mikhael-Sama. ::leaves the room with him::
Raziel: ::looks back at Arjun, just shaking his head::
Mikhael: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRr
Rosiel: So....better now........
Arjun: :keeping a distance from where he first stood at, he looked back to the remaining group with a weak smerk on his lips:
Sefie: So...if you don't lie, you would not mind if we put you to the test, right? ::a voice, very soft that shows danger to everybody hearing it::
Katan: ::comes back in:: I handed Mikhael-Sama over to his assistant, Camael. He`ll take care of him. ::goes back to his place at rosiel`s site::
Arjun: :looking to Sefie, and with a very lightly shaky tone, but willing to get the words out: I.. I will do anything.. I want to prove I had been wrongfully accused.. no matter what the cost.. sir.
Sefie: So, you would not mind if Sariel-sama looks at you with his demonic eye? This eye sees every sin you ever committed.....are you willing to stand up to this test? ::still his voice is dangerously soft::
Raziel: ::looks at Arjun, quickly nods at him:: If he really says the truth... then this will prove it... ::looks at Uriel::
Uriel: ::in Raziel's mind::: **I'm not that sure if this is not bad for Arjun.....he'll see every sin......and punish him for it......**
Arjun: :swallowing hard a moment: I feel deep within my own heart that it is still pure.. I will stand and allow this. Seek within me the truth, and know that all the sin that will be seen if anything was done for the sake of my life while I was trying to servive in Hell itself.
Raziel: ::nods:: But I`m sure there are no sins for a big punishment... he`s a true one... And Sariel-Sama will see that he was innocent when he was sent to hell...
Rosiel: Okay, then.......
Sariel: Stand in the middle of the room.......::he stands up::
Raziel: **Maybe I could help him...but...** ::shakes his head::
Arjun: :walking to the center of the room he looks to Sariel and takes a few slow deep breaths:
Sariel: ::steps right in front of Arjun and takes off the protection of his right eye. It really looks ugly and stares right into your soul:::
Katan: Raziel, close your eyes!
Raziel: ::nods and closes his eyes::
Arjun: :watching you closely, he only shakes slightly, but does not budge, placing his hand on his sides at attion only blinking a few times quickly:
Sariel: He speaks the truth....but I see other sins......but no mayor ones....just when he served in hell.......
Raziel: ::under the table, he takes Zaphikel`s hand::
Arjun: :breathing a deep sigh of relief, he swallows hard for a moment, and then lightly and slowly smiles:
Katan: ::looks at Rosiel::
Rosiel: I thank you, Sariel-sama............now please, put the protection back on and free us all of that ugly sight........
Raziel: ::opens his eyes a bit, but looks at Uriel, smiling::
Sariel: ::puts the protection back on and sits down again::
Raphael: So, what will you do if we allow you to stay here in Atziluth again?
Arjun: :looking to Raphael: Well sir.. if given the chance.. I will try again and join a higher rank out of Archangel, but I will begin from the start if I must.
Rosiel: Well, if nobody else has any questions left, I ask you for your last words, Arjun.....
Arjun: :looking to Rosiel, and then the rest making sure that all the questions were over with: I will do anything till the given moment that I am given the right of any rank you see fit. Other then that.. um.. Great Council.. I will follow the rules given to me and will honor them 110%
Rosiel: Thank you, then we will now decide on what to do.....please wait outside with Raziel....
Raziel: ::stands up and walks over to Arjun:: Come ::smiles at him::
Arjun: :nodding and bowing to everyone, he walks backwards out of the room till he makes the doors and walks with Raziel quickly outside: Man.. I thought for sure Sariel-sama was gonna say something else.
Raziel: ::looks at him:: Why? You didn`t lie. And as far as I can see, everything went just fine. And Sariel-Sama is fair. He`s not mean, like Sefie-sama and the High Cherubim...........
Arjun: :nodding and still a bit shaky from this whole matter, he finds a place to sit down putting his head between his hands for a moment: I know this now.. but I could of said something just wrong and wouldn't of known it till it would have been too late...
Rosiel: So, we all heard the case.....now, your decisions, please.....Katan, I allow you to replace the voice of Mikhael-sama.....
Katan: ::nods::
Raziel: ::lays his arm around Arjun:: Believe me, it will be allright. And when this is over, we`ll go and have fun with the dolphins. It`s so wonderful to swim with them, you`ll see. ::smiles at him::
Zaphikel: Well.....I say we keep him here....but he'll have to start again as an Angel....he forgot too much......
Uriel: ::nods in agreement::
Arjun: :looking up to Raziel with a light smile: That will be something.. I just wish for a hot clean shower first though.. it has been so... long since I've had clean water.
Katan: ::nods:: I also think he should stay here. Not only for he is innocent but when we send him back now, we could get problems. He knows too much. We should keep an eye on him, no matter what.
Sariel: Katan is right.....there is no reason to send innocents back to hell.....
Sefie: Well, I say it would be a sin to keep him here. HE himself decided to send him to hell.....do you want to doubt HIS decisions? ::looks coldly at the others::
Raphael: Sefie-sama......are you sure HE did decide? I think in such cases the High Council was in charge....
Raziel: ::nods:: Sure. You`ll get your shower. And also new clothes. And if you need something else. I`m sure Raphael-Sama will take a look at you. He`s our doctor.
Rosiel: Raphael-sama....your vote....please....
Raphael: Let him stay.....
Arjun: :nodding lightly in agreement, and then thinking for a moment: you want to know the one thing that I have not had since I was sent there... :he lets his words drop for a moment:
Dobiel: I say no.....he spent too much time in hell......::looks at Katan again with hate in his eyes::
Katan: ::just ignores the look::
Raziel: ::stands up and stretches:: Sure, tell me.
Arjun: :looking up to him as he stretches: Well... :he slightly blushes a moment:... um I know it's a sin... but well... I had sex only once... I miss it. Never did it though down there.. it was just too wickedly done.
Raziel: ::looks at him with eyes wide open, shocked:: What?? Sex?? It is a deadly sin, how can you even talk about it? ::takes a step back as if Arjun had hit him::
Arjun: :standing up but not moving closer to you: I know it was.. but back then things were well... all the teenagers were trying to get away with it. Just before becoming Archangels... I didn't want to at the start but then well.. the parties.. drinking.. it happens.. :point to the doors of the hall a moment: I'll bet you anything that some of them in there have at least tryed themselves if not done it behind closed doors somehow.
Rosiel: So, well...the decision is made.......Katan.....call them back in.....
Raziel: ::still shocked:: How can you?.... Those are the 7 Great Angels in there. How can you tell me they committed that sin? If I had known you`re a sinner I never would have helped you. And I will tell them. You don`t have the right to stay in Atziluth. You`re a sinner, PECCATO ::spits the word at him::
Katan: Yes, Sir ::stands up and walks over to the door, giving Dobiel a short look when he passes him::
Arjun: :lowers his head a moment but before saying anything in defence, he looks to you again: Raziel.. look into the mind of some of them if you can.. hear their thoughts... you will see.. it's a want of the flesh.. of the mind and of the body itself.. in time it won't matter.. some will want it just a much as a human wants it on Earth.... Hell.. look into your own self... you have might of thought of it at one time or another have you not?
Raziel: ::looks at him with pure hate in his eyes:: How dare you?
Katan: ::opens the door to them:: Come back in.
Arjun: you know I'm telling the truth Raziel.. you know I am.. look into yourself... :stopping his words and seeing Katan open the doors, he looks frightened a moment of returning inside with what Raziel knows now.:
Raziel: ::with a last look at Arjun, he rushes back into the room. Instead of going back to his place, he runs over to the middle of the half circle, looking at Rosiel:: Rosiel-Sama, please let me speak before you tell the decision of the High Council.
Katan: ::looks after Raziel, then lets Arjun in and shuts the door behind them::
Arjun: :running back in after closing the doors, he just makes the inside council before it was stated: Raziel.. Wait!
Rosiel: What's this mess? Raziel, you sit down.....you can talk to me after the decision is told.....and Arjun, stand at your place....
Raziel: But Rosiel-Sama... it is important....
Arjun: :looking quickly from Raziel and then to Rosiel and back again before standing still, but with a deeply worried look on his face: Raziel ... please....
Rosiel: Katan, make Raziel sit down in silence, please......
Katan: ::walks over to Raziel and grabs him arm:: Come now, stop that..
Raziel: ::looks at Rosiel:: But..... ::points his finger at Arjun:: Peccato!!!!!
Zaphikel: ::a light kinda shock rushes through his body when hearing that word::
Arjun: :hearing the word again and just lowers his head low, knowing it was over with:
Rosiel: Wait, Katan........what was that, Raziel???
Katan: ::lets Raziel go::
Raziel: Yes, Rosiel-Sama, he`s a sinner. He..he told me he had...psysical love...... ::looks at Arjun, his face shows rage, but his eyes look disappointed and betrayed::
Raphael: :::his face looks bored again:: Even if, does that matter?
Arjun: :looking to you for only a moment as if a crushed man would do of lost of all hope for life. He then turns and looks to the others:
Raziel: And... and that`s not all ::now tears coming from his eyes:: He...he also said...you... are sinners too...... You would do it, too.....
Uriel: ::stands up and steps behind Raziel, his hands softly touch Raziel's shoulders:: **Calm.....don't cry**
Raziel: ::feeling the hands on his shoulders, he fights back the tears:: He said you`re sinners... You, the 7 Great.....
Arjun: :lowering himself to his knees, he keeps his head down from everyone in the council and awaits what might come to his doings of saying this about the great ones:
Sefie: Well....in some cases he might even be right.......what do you think, Raphael, Zaphikel.....?
Raziel: ::looks at Sefie, now completely shocked:: What....do you mean...?
Katan: ::to Rosiel:: we better bring the child back home now. It was enough for him today, don`t you think, Rosiel-Sama?
Arjun: :looking up only slightly a moment hearing Sefie-sama's words:
Rosiel: Raziel, you are not allowed to speak anymore in this hall but the words of Uriel-sama.....did you hear me? And Sevothtarte....shut up.....
Raziel: ::opens his mouth to say something... but then shuts it and only nods::
Rosiel: Sit down now......
Raziel: ::with a short look at Uriel, he goes back to his place::
Uriel: ::sits down again, too::
Arjun: :wondering if he should stand or what, he slowly begins to get up to his feet once more:
Katan: ::walks over to Arjun and positions himself behind him, waiting for the decision to either bring him to prison, to hell or anywhere::
Arjun: :looking to Katan for a moment from over his shoulder and then to the rest of them, you could feel him start to lightly shake:
Rosiel: Now hear the decision of the High Council ::stands up:: Archangel Arjun, we, the High Council, decided that you'll be allowed to stay in Atziluth, but in the rank of an Angel. You are allowed to start again for the Archangels and later for one of the higher choirs. All your sins are forgiven by me. So I said it, so shall it be written....
Katan: ::nods with a smile and offers his hand to Arjun:: Congratulations
Raziel: ::sighs:: Can we go now, Zaphikel-Sama?
Zaphikel: shut up......we stay until the end.....
Arjun: :with a deep sigh of relief, he smiles warmly to everyone there in the hall, taking Katan's hand and shaking it for a moment: thanks.... :looking to everyone once more: Thank you all Great High Council.. I will do anything I must.
