CHAPTER 2
After a full lunar month had passed by, the assembly of the angelic servants of
the Most High, gathered together in his great hall (the Holy).
Michael approached the dais, which the Most High had left purposely empty, to announce
the opening of the return grand session.
A great hush broke over the gathered angels.
"Brother servants, we have all become aquainted with the substance of this debate and the Most High wishes to not influence, in any way, the outcome of your own consciences, today and so has absented himself and wishes you all his good will, inthis, your time of difficult decision.
The master knows you have freely and openly, and sometimes secretly debated the issue and
that the time for a decision is apon us.
To show your sign of agreement or non agreement, with the guardian Cherub Keruv`s stand, and it is absolutely necessary, if only to gauge the level of disquiet amongst the hosts, to enable the Most High to rectify or modify any policies to draw this august body together again.
The ones in agreement with Keruv and of his plan for Man, please rise and place yourselves on the left of the great hall.
Those who prefer the status quo, to leave things as they presently are, soley in the hands of the Most High, please rise and move to the right of the great hall.
The normally orderly mass of assembled hosts representatives, broke into a cauldron
of swirling and swaying fevered energy patterns, as groups and individuals struggled to get past each other, and at the same time surprised at the sight of fellow host members and friends, going in the opposite directions,thus causing wild calls to realise their misstake, or ridicule when it was then evident that many were indeed intent and resigned on a controversial decision.
After Michael finished speaking, he had remained standing for a while on the dias, watching the maelstrom below him, as he also didnt want to influence the course of the vote in any way.
He waited until the majority were well on the move to their intended allegiance and had determined their conscience. He then showed his resolve by positioning himself on the right.
Once his stance was confirmed, he slowly returned to the dias debating with his loyal hosts on the way.
He clambered up to find that this time, he was sharing the platform with Keruv, who had broken protocol and had even brought some of his supporters, Athena Baal, Hera, and Woden, onto the podium.
Athena wouldnt look Michael in the eyes, when he occasionally glanced at her. She could sense the confusion and personal betrayal he was feeling.
Was it not justlast night, that both had spoken of their new respective roles in the comming conflict, and that they would have to be patiently prepared to accept long absences for the duration. He didnt understand, she had said nothing of any inner turmoil any hint that she was likely to up and go, yet alone join in the rebellion.
Keruvs dark blue eyes were full of victory. His famous wide grin was at its greatest extent.
Seeing their host master Michael seemed to be in sore straits, and Uriel understood why straight away, when he caught sight of Athena, standing near the exuberant Keruv, who was throwing her reluctant hand up in triumph, even though she didnt want to be on display.
Uriel jumped up beside his master Michael, and was soon joined by loyal Gabriel and Raphael
who also climbed onto the dias to support him.
Young blonde Sarah, an up and comming confident Cherub also lept up to his side to show her solidarity.
Uriel turned and whispered into his master ear. " Master, the heavens are being turned upside down. The loyal hosts are looking to you, for a sign that Jehovah and you have got this under control. Master dont fail them, just because of Athena, please master. Uriel patted him on the back and slowly saw him regain his composure and confidence momentarily, as he took a deep breath areadied himself to proclaim the out come.
