themselves.
“I am lord Raziel, one of the Archangels of all the Heavens!” he said, his green eyes looking directly back into Lillith's.
“And I am lord Ariel,” said the second one, his blue eyes twinkling with some amusement.
“The one with red hair!” added Raziel.
Lillith curtsied in front of them and said, “I am Lillith, the first Human female. Have you seen my Jarahmael? I thought you were him, coming back for me.”
“We thought that Jarahmael would have returned by now. He had been off on an assignment different from ours,” Raziel said to Lillith. “Could you give us a moment?”
Raziel looked over at Ariel and motioned with his eyes for the two of them to move back and away, out of Lillith’s hearing. Once they were away he whispered to Ariel, “Any suggestions of what to do with these C rystal P risms? I don’t like flying around with all of them.”
Ariel thought for a moment and then said, “Perhaps we try to find a place here in the palace to hide them for safekeeping, where Lillith won’t know?”
Raziel responded immediately, “Brilliant, I must say!”
Ariel then added, “Hasn’t Jarahmael been working on mirrors for each of us? He announced that not long after he had provided Luciferael with a couple of his new inventions.”
“Yes, he told me that too, before all these problems on the Earth started.”
“Fourteen crystals and fourteen of us,” Ariel said. “Maybe there is some relationship between them.”
“You may have a point. Let’s see if the mirrors even exist first,” Raziel whispered to Ariel and then turned to address Lillith, raising his voice so she could hear. “Lillith, seems like we will have to leave and not be able to wait for Jarahmael. We would like to see Jarahmael’s mirrors though before we leave, he has spoken so highly about his inventions. Would you mind if we look in on his progress?”
“Not at all,” she responded. “I am sure Jarahmael will be happy you came to see him, but disappointed that he missed you. He has a workshop down this hall. The palace is so much larger than anything I have ever been in,” she said as she led them down one of the hallways to one of the lower rooms in the back.
As they stopped outside the entrance into the workshop, they could see a number of full sized mirrors arranged along the wall. Each had a different frame, engraved with various images from the Heavens.
Stepping inside the room, they could all see their own reflections in the glass, pools of silver that contained exact copies of themselves.
“Yes, Jarahmael is an Angel with a lot of talents,” said Ariel. “Look at these marvelous mirrors he created!”
Lillith walked in front of one of the mirrors and admired herself, appearing so much smaller than the Angels.
Although Raziel and Ariel could see their full reflections in the mirrors, they were not as impressed with their own looks and handsomeness. In fact, they had discussions about how silly it was that Luciferael had to constantly see his own reflection and that it was bizarre that Luciferael had a mirror brought along with him so he could admire his own image whenever he wanted.
Raziel was not sure if they should put the crystals in a place where Lillith would know where they were. After all, Adam and Eve were easily tricked and it seemed that this was something important that the Almighty had specifically given them to do.
Raziel pulled Ariel to the side away from where Lillith was admiring herself in the mirror and whispered, “Remember, I don’t want Lillith to know we have these crystals, I think these mirrors may be a safe place to store the crystals, but we have to make sure she doesn’t know. Here is the plan .”
Raziel and Ariel walked back into the center of the room and took a few minutes with Lillith and admired the mirrors and their own reflections.
Raziel then announced, “Thank you, Lillith, for showing us these magnificent mirrors. But now it is time for us to
