The Gift – Chapter 7

David spread out his wings as though he was trying to reach out to the four corners of the earth, when the wing expanse could go no further, he slowly retracted them back. Then he put his hands out in front of him and clapped them as if to summon the will but no sound came from his hands. He clapped them again and still yet no sound came from them.

“It is unto the father that Raphael descends and descendeth unto thee not shall he,” Justafa said.

David continued to retract his wings taking care that each was properly in place. Then he closed his eyes and spoke.

“This I know my dear brother Justafa. Wisdom runs strong among our kind, yet an interpretation of thought and request is always upon us all. It falleth upon the humans in our charge as well. And yet thou riseth up unto me now! Why hast thou appeared unto me?”

“Tis the silence it is deafening and it reacheth out to all. The semblance of time is also stretched out upon all that is and all that will be. It has not been since the father first spoke love into existence.” Shalt it be as it was or shall it be created anew?”

David opened his eyes and gently glided over to Justafa, and he held out his hands. Justafa put his hand to greet David, and they clasped them together, and he sang unto him theses words:
Shalt the fruit of the land be whiffed up by the sea?
Never more said he.
Shalt the skies be lighted with fire and brimstone?
No, but to the dominion of light and beauty shalt they remain.
Oh but unto all created by the Will, it shalt create in and shalt
Forever be it is the blessing from thee.

And when he finished singing these words the heavens began to rumble it was the sound of angels in waiting praising the will for the song of creation.

Justafa like all the angels loved and understood the song of creation. The covenant was given by the Will, being the speaker of one the voice of all, the praise should have been heard and felt throughout not only were the angels in waiting to respond but Angel and all Angel alike. However, Justafa praised but without feeling. It was more response than feeling and David felt this from him.

It is not thy thoughts that I read before thou speaketh David it is what is and has become of the merge. So ask not unto me why praise was not given unto the song of creation for there still is much tarridness that persists within the commonality.

David released his hands from Justafa and appeared to study Justafas face as if he was looking at it for the first time. He looked at his full lips, which were kissed and had been kissed by the Father. The full freshness of his face that had seen countless beginnings of life and yet remained interred. He looked into his eyes, the fiery brilliance in them which allowed him to see from dominion to dominion given to angel and angel alike. Then David looked beyond his eyes beyond the fiery brilliance in them, and the longer he looked, the more silent the commonality became.

Justafa sighed with a sense of complete serenity and peace.

“Thank you,” Justafa said.

“Tis but a moment given to thee yet it shall send a calmness upon the commonality enough to sustain the tarridness. The thanks should be given to the Will and was’t granted to me to be given. Use the moment wisely among the commonality. Now go and be with and unto before the moment given is but a passing set upon the wind and cast out into the shadows of time.

Justafa looked directly into David’s eyes and placed a kiss upon his lips, and as he was about to raise his wings and depart, he felt a force pulling him. A force so powerful that it meant at least he thought, that he was being called upon by the Father. He lay his head back in preparation to be called unto the Father, and then he felt this presence that is not common among immortals, and it shook it at him and his whole spirit and as incredible as this new presence was, Justafa new that it was not to be felt among his kind. He fought to pull himself back and away from this feeling but he could not. His body began to jerk and convulse and he shook with the fierceness of a mighty wind and everything in him told him to fly away, to run, but he could not release himself from this presence.

Raphael suddenly appeared and flew swiftly unto Justafa for he knew what was about to overtake him. Raphael also knew that within moments it would be felt throughout the commonality, and this was never meant to be, and he also knew that this was more fall-out from the merge it had to be for no angel was ever suppose to feel “fear.” They knew of it, had seen it in the humans that they had watched over, but fear was not an emotion ever to be cast upon angels.

Angels were born out of the Father to see all that is to be seen to touch what was untouched, to fly beyond heights known and unknown to touch a hand and to never let it fall and of all of theses love is and forever is the conqueror. Fear was here now, and it was not to be.

David stood as guardian and said nothing for he knew that Raphael had been pulled by the Father earlier and that upon his release, his mission was given, so he stood fast in prayer unto the Father until all was to be done.

Raphael lovingly wrapped his hands around Justafa. Then he spread out his wings to the full expanse, and he then connected his eyes to Justafa’s because angels are meant to look into the eyes of “fear” to see its lie, its untruth. Raphael stared directly into it Justafa’s eyes and as he did a gold ring circled both of them. It began to grow larger and then a sound emanated from it like the chiming of a great bell. The ringing grew louder as the golden circle got bigger around them. Then golden circled erupted into a loud explosion of the bell causing the particles of the golden ring to rain down upon the earth.

Raphael released Justafa from his embrace, and Justafa stood fast, and a tear of gold fell from his eye and he smiled and shook himself and said.

“Raphael tis upon thy quickness we stand. The commonality has not been disturbed.”

“Yet it shaketh loose all in it’s path, and now much tarridiness is upon Musio, and all in his charge below for what has happened above is now seen by the humans as havoc below,” David said as he moved in closer to Raphael and Justafa.

Raphael spoke:

“Think not thyself of this now for the Fathers will be done.”

David and Justafa moved amongst themselves as if they were inspecting their surroundings and as they were doing so, Torcelli suddenly appeared unto them. She did not shimmer in, she just appeared.

“I knoweth not why I hath appeared here,” Torcelli said. Twas not my destination. I was in the land that the humans hath named Africa in attendance to the human named animal the Cheetah. This “cheetah” was being stalked and chased by the “Zebra”, and as I stepped into the Zebra’s path, the Zebra passed through my being, and here I stand with thee and thou.

David and Justafa turned from Torcelli and looked at Raphael as if waiting for a response from him. It was a response that each of them already knew. They just needed to hear it from Raphael as if it would take the sting out of what they already knew if he spoke it aloud.

“Twas foretold since the beginning.” He spoke. “All is to be unto the merge of Jurist and the human now. Shalt it not be divided, what seeketh upon the earth now shalt be sought. All of us angel and angel alike are unto the prophecy. Go forth, lest it not be fulfilled, make haste, or all will remain standing, lost in nothingness.”

Not a word was said after this. The four angels turned one to the west, one to the east, one to the south and one to the north and they flew off at the same time. And as they flew away, a sound harder and mightier than any thunder that had ever erupted was heard. It shook everything above and below.
