Gabriel

The place that Gabriel has is up in the mountains somewhere. It's not really a house so much as a room, rather spartan. But there's a bed and couches and a large shelf of books of all sorts of random things that caught his interest. On one wall is a rack of weapons, all well taken care of but unused. Why would one need a weapon when one has a flaming sword?

The view, from one large picture window, is of the mountains covered in glistening snow with a brilliant blue sky and nothing else. It's utterly quiet. Almost eerily so.

Can angels get depressed? Because I think I am.

There were places where only Angels dare to tread. But those were only places where only Angels could tread. And then there were places between places where Angels didn't like to tread because Angels liked things neat and between places was not at all neat.

It was where Gabriel was, because he felt that he had to go to those places or because it was his duty to go to those places. Or because he was told to go to those places. Or because he knew others would not bother him there.

There was a whiteness about the place, still and yet fluxuating. He could see into other worlds here. And here he watched, looking for those that he knew and those that he cared about. Beyond and above his duties as an Angel.

It was odd having mortal friends. But he appeared to have some. It was those that he watched for. Arty of course, brilliant and vibrant. Mel, the poor girl seemed to be having difficulties with her choices, war was not meant for children. Those two that Mel had worried about, the ones he gave his feathers two. And a few others.

Ruffling his feathers, he wondered if he should check in on those he watched. Or if he'd be welcomed.

I seem to be giving out feathers like candy to small children. Not that I mind when they go to good people. But I always wonder, worry about what if they fall into the wrong hands.

Speaking of which, Mel, when you have a moment?

I have not been been on here for a while. Busy I suppose. Or perhaps just nothing to say. I can not say that my life has been as interesting as other people's. Or even other me's. Perhaps I am just boring. That is quiet possible, I think.

Near the begining, as near as one can ever get to a beginning a man was given a test of faith: Sacrifice his favorite son because his God demanded it. Without question and with complete trust the man went to do so. Just as the knife was to touch the boy, the man was told that he shouldn't and that he had past the test of faith. The son was spared and a ram was used in its place. On that same place, two brothers met one night. One had a large family, the other none. Both had a sucesful harvest however. The brother with the large family said to himself, I have a family to help me with my work and to help me make money, my poor brother has none, I shall give him some of my harvest to help him out. The brother with no family said to himself, I have only myself while my poor brother has a large family to feed and to keep well, I shall give him some of my harvest to help him out. So they both snuck to their brother's farms and met in the middle. When they realized what they had done, they both hugged and the place was declared holy.

A temple was built there, and in time the temple and its walls, when the temple was destroyed, became holy and sacred to three religions. Each of those religions have spilt blood at this holy site. A site that their supposed God said that brother hood and thought for the other should be placed above all else and that human sacrifice is unwanted or needed.

I find this ironic.

I have found some distressing things since going into the Nexus. I think the most distressing things are people who have claimed to have killed their creator. I find it... distressing and at the same time confusing. How can you kill that which is unkillable? That which is everywhere? In everything? To effectively do that you would have to destroy all of everything. Which can not be done. Light, the worlds, the darkness, the stars, all the animals, creatures, humans. Even the angels and demons themselves.

I am uncertain as to what these people who have killed their creator have killed. Perhaps a shadow or an aspect. I do believe that if they were to sucessfully kill their creator everything would cease to exist.

But that is only my point of view.

Because I promised a girl I would.

...sing karaoke w/ me?
...sit in the doctors office with me because I didn't want to go alone?
...come pick me up at 3am because my car ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere?
...cry if I died?
...dance with me?
...sing happy birthday to me?
...re-post this for me to answer your questions?

It is the beginning of a new year for some people. I always found it amusing. They all resolve to make themselves better and do new things, but they stay to the same old and familiar routines.

I never thought I would meet an alternate reality version of myself. I have met the Christian Gabriel several more times that I would care to have. I do not like him. Or her. Maybe an It? I really can not tell. He is the Angel of Mercy instead of Judgement (who is Michael.) For us, it is reversed. I find the lily quite silly.

This version of me... well he was closer to me than the other version. He Fell though. But for different reasons than I might have. He did it to protect humanity from the Creator. I do not know if I would have done that. I do not know if I could have done that.

My relationship with humanity has never been ... good. I teach all the souls what they need to know before they are born.

And then I make them forget.

I have destroyed millions of them. In Wars and in Retribution and in Judgement. I cannot let myself get close to them. Emotionally attached to them, because then I would not be able to do my Duty.

The double is rather close to humanity.

Musings

In my ... world... reality? Version of Earth? Plane of existence. Place that I came from, I almost was Samael. It was back in the Beginning, before we had names. Because with names come function. At least for angels. I always knew that I was going to be one of the great ones, one of the Archangels, I knew that. But then there were five of us that knew that. It was decided by a sort of draw of the straws who would become what. In essense it was the only bit of free will we had. By random chance we chose who we would be. There were two 'straws' left when I drew. I drew... well I drew the Gabriel straw. Which left Samael with his straw. I sometimes think about that.

And then I look out at humanity and start to wonder things.

I really should stop watching that Christopher Walkin movie. It is giving me ideas.

Yet another myth about me.

2005-11-15T23:46:34Z

I went to Wikipedia and looked myself up out of curiosity. I found this entry. It was not so bad. At least they did not refer to me as a woman. I found this line, however, to be most amusing: "In LDS belief, Gabriel lived a mortal life as the patriarch Noah. Gabriel and Noah are regarded as the same person, but Gabriel alone is regarded as the immortal resurrected being (angel). Some people say that his descendants are still among us, humans." LDS being the Church of Latter Day Saints.

I remember Noah. He was not a bad fellow. He did remarkably well for a man in his time under the circumstances given to him.

I was not him.

This is not to say that I have not had my daliences with mortals. I just never spent time as one.

Still the thought is somewhat amusing. In a way.

I visited Arty in Zion. It is not at all like the Zion I know. There are some similarties in ideals. And they are both desserts. It is too dark and mechanical though, for my tastes. There is no life down there. I mean, yes people live there, but there are no birds or bees or weather. Things like that. Admittedly, being under ground it is hard to have those sort of things. I do not like it though. Men were not made to live under there. Arty should not have to live under there.

But it is where she lives. And it is where she does her duties. I would take her away, but I have no place to put her. And well... I do not believe it would work out.

New Icon. I am not too sure what to make of it. At least it is not one of those doll maker icons. They are a bit too... cute for me. I am such the serious fellow are I not? Arty says I need to work on my sense of humor. It is hard to do so, sometimes. I suppose I could develop a morbid sense of humor... it would fit in with my line of work.

I feel ... like something wonderful could happen soon though, if everything goes right.

A new Commandment

2005-07-04T20:23:06Z

God and I were talking here
and decided that we needed a New Commandment against things like Net
Speak, Bad Fan Fiction, Spam and things like that. We came up with:

Thou
Shalt Not Spam Thy Computer Network.

What...*coughs* I mean, what do you think? Should we put this into place?

Work...

I was in the Supermarket today. Saw the Weekly World News, one of those tabloid newspapers. On the front page was a head line declaring that an angel had been captured. It was a picture of Zanel, one of the Lower Angels. He is always getting into trouble by letting himself be seen like that.

I had a long talk with him when I got back. Honestly, there are better things for an Angel to do than to pose for tabloids.

A solution.

I have decided that the three Gods on the Sages are all apart of the Same Creator, just different facets of Him. I do not care if it is true or not. It will just save me the headache.

I have a headache. I have not had one in a VERY long time. It is rather distressing.

There are three individuals claiming to be the Creator on Sages. Two of them have been bickering back and forth. I like to believe that they are all aspects of the Real One. However the constant sniping is what is giving me a terrible headache.

After all, I can hear them in my head. The young girl, Joan, complains about talking to the Creator. Right now I would gladly change positions with her so that she can know what it is like to hear the Creator and I could just listen to him. But as they say, if wishes were horses...

I have been meaning to get to this, but I seem to keep on forgetting. Perhaps I am getting senile. I wonder if Angels can get senile.

I have been spending a good amount of my 'free time' with Arty in the lounge. She is wonderful company, if a bit strange. We have become rather close actually. I have not been this close to a women since around 70. The rules and customs to courtship have changed greatley since then. I feel like I am flying on instincts that I did not know I had. Arty says I should just follow my instincts, but I am not a creature like that.

Humans have instincts, it is a part of their free will. Angels do the will of our Creator. Though sometimes the will of our creator is not always clear to us.

I suppose I will have to do as Arty suggested and just wing it.

Heh... a pun.

It is almost father's day. I bring this up because I am reminded of my own child. I had a son, once, a long time ago. His name was Ishmael. He was a rabbi and a learned scholar. His mother was a pious woman, but unable to have a child. So I asked if I may give her one, and I was granted permission. They said he looked like an angel. But he was only human. And he died a horrible death. Willingly...

a Knight Captain
You scored 10 Honor, 9 Justice, 2 Adventure, and 2 Individuality!

Some knights follow the orders given them. Some know when to improvise.
The second sort are the ones that grow to power, to become leadeers and
Knight Captains. Your sense of duty, honor and justice speaks that your
name should be amongst their ranks.

Get your squire, your banner, your armor and your sword. You're gonna do just fine

My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 99% on Ninjinuity
You scored higher than 99% on Knightlyness
