Nudge
Painting description: Lotus in the silver city.
Remiel took Amenadiel to hunt. She really enjoys hunting stags, Amenadiel thought to himself. His little sister has grown to be a great warrior. He smiles to himself. Remiel asks him why he is laughing? When he doesn't answer, she tells him to pay attention.
They proceeded with the hunt.
After some time, Remiel asks "If you don't like then why do you accompany me?"
Amenadiel responds, "Remi, it's quite simple, so I'm not going to answer."
Remiel jokes that he's every bit mysterious and loving as their father.
Later, Amenadiel reluctantly accepts stag shawl and wanders silver city. He comes across where Zadkiel tried the budding tree of life into Yggdrasil. It was futile. What was he thinking?
The place after being flooded is still a muddy pond.
What caught his attention was the giant lotus. It was divine. Unreal. He floated there waiting for Lotus to fully open but it didn't open fully.
It became his favorite spot in the silver city. The Lotus was alone and at peace. He came everyday. Pond was clear, reflecting the lotus. It was calming and beautiful.
The Messenger angel was searching for Amenadiel - the first born and eldest angel. She had searched silver city. "Now don't tell me that he's also down there like his brother.", she thought to herself. But she was the angel of messages after all. She knew that Amenadiel was here. But surprisingly couldn't find him.
She came to where she could feel her brother the most. But why was here so much fog?
She started to call for her brother.
A quiet voice came from the fog as if it was somehow suppressed and muffled, if someone else was here they wouldn't have heard. She concentrated on that voice and realized that it was her brother. He was calling her there. She started flying in that direction and fog cleared to create a small path. She could see her brother. She was fast and was near him.
Amenadiel heard that voice. He actually tried to ignore it. He didn't want to deal with his gossip queen sister. So he called her looking at the lotus. Sooner she would be over with whatever she wanted to tell, sooner she would leave him alone. When she arrived he expected her to start talking that instant like she always does, but she didn't. So he asked her, "Don't hesitate, just tell me."
"Did you know that someone new is on Earth?"
"Many people are born everyday, Gabriel."
"I can tell that there is someone who isn't supposed to be."
"Are you going to tell who is that?"
"Why do you think that I searched for you for so long and why am I here talking to you now?"
"Angel of Gossip, tell me. I'm all ears." Amenadiel said after turning towards his sister.
Gabriel smiled and said, "I'm just being me. The information is quite valuable and I don't believe that you don't know of this."
Amenadiel should have become angry at her behavior and wasted time. He was so close to shouting at her to just tell name, but he did not. He was tranquil.
He just said that he's not familiar with what he's unfamiliar with and started to watch peaceful lotus.
Gabriel just stared at him & around him for some time and said, "Fine, Lucifer is on Earth for quite some time."
"He'll be back in no time." Amenadiel said, turning.
"Are you sure?" she asked and added "Dad is probably angry at him."
"What?" Amenadiel was surprised.
"Oh, you didn't really know. I thought you were just turning blind eye to your favorite sibling."
"No, I didn't know and why did you think father is unhappy?"
"Well, although I wasn't there, I heard that lightning struck Lucifer's home on Earth."
"Wait, Lucy has a home on Earth?"
"Club, penthouse, home, whatever but the important point is that during summer, a thunderstorm started out of nowhere and it caused a lot of chaos. I thought, father was going to submerge the city. The lighting was abnormally bright and get this, it was coloured green."
Amenadiel didn't expect any of this. He only said, "Yes, it does appear that our father is unhappy."
"That's what I was thinking as when the lighting cleared, the downpour stopped and there wasn't any single cloud when I reached there and I'm fast." Gabriel said while flying away. She left him there. She didn't say anything about Mazikeen. Her brother had a lot on his plate. Maybe Lucifer will listen to him or she could tell someone else. She was quite confident that she had nudged him in the right direction.
Amenadiel looked lost. She had trouble searching for him and why was he floating on water while looking at nowhere?
