Chapter Two

As Jesus and I watched you discover earth so curious about the animals, plants and the water. How eager you were to please our parents. The way you loved them and worshipped them was beautiful and gloriously wonderful. You even displayed levels of intelligence. Mom sent Lucifer, Michael and I across the veil to Lilith and Adam. We were to deliver their rules of the land. The duties they had to perform. The message was an easy one for us and gave us a rare opportunity to get up close to your kind. You spoke our language Enochian. Trust me it’s still ingrained in your very souls you just chose to forget it out of shame of what you became. Anyways the duties Adam and Lilith had to perform were to tend to the garden, name the creatures of the land and sea and procreate. Above all, do not eat from the forbidden tree. Simple enough, right? Right, they did what was asked of them.

Eden was gorgeous it flourished. Jesus and I would often walk through the garden together and bask in the beauty of it. The animals would follow us throughout the garden. We would lay in the soft grass and talk about all the things we would create. ( My twin and I were creators like our parents. We were rare, not all gods could create. Other gods would come to my parents to create for them. But that’s another story.) How would our own veil look when it came time for us to leave our parents. We would reminisce on what you call a childhood. Learning our abilities was fun growing our powers. Lots of trial and error. Let’s just say Dad and Mom lost a whole fleet of warrior angels one time oops. Which is why they made us replace an entire fleet of warrior angels. It took a hundred years give or take to make and retrain them. Why so long? Well, every angel is made with a unique gift, and we had to provide them with the knowledge to use their abilities correctly, to be able to use any weapon to fight. Jesus mainly took care of the learning of gifts, and I trained them to fight. Every so often we’d switch it up. Can you say lesson learned?

Michael, Lucifer, and I were tasked with watching the humans. We were called Watchers. The very first guardians of the human race. Your first line of protection. On top of training the whole angel race. We watched everything they did, and I mean everything! Adam and Lilith took their job of procreation very serious. No young came of their union yet but practice made perfect right? I would look at the two males at sides and watch how closely they looked at Adam and Lilith. My angels were enthralled with the humans. And If I'm honest, I was too. They had a lot of unusual habits that God’s didn’t do. They touched a lot, simple gestures like holding hands, the way Adam would gently guide Lilith through the garden he’d place his hand on the small of her back, the way they kissed, hugged. To show affection. I was intrigued by them. Lucifer’s curiosity verged on obsession, especially with Lilith. He spent more and more time watching them. He would be missing training sessions to watch them. Michael and thought nothing of it. At first, he would miss a few missions, little ones nothing of significance. Watcher duty was about the only responsibility he never missed. He started to disappear for hours and days at a time. Whatever was taking his time, it was starting to interfere with his angelic duties.
