landed near a shore, where the ocean waves pounded upon a sandy beach. They noticed that the Almighty had already begun some of the creation of life forms on the Earth on His own, some strange creatures scuttling about on the sand. But now the Archangels were here, instructed to expand upon His endeavors.
    "This looks like a great spot," said Luciferael as he landed softly along the beach, waves pulsing behind him. "Come, let's see what we can fashion," he said while walking towards the waterline.
    Sammuael, Beelzebael, Mephistophael, Mammonael, Damiel and Suriel landed right behind Luciferael and walked closely behind him towards the water. Jarahmael, Michael, and the rest of the Archangels landed and followed a bit further behind.
    Luciferael started the process by taking the wet sand and forming a shape from it. Michael and the other Archangels did the same, each coming up with a creature all of their own.
    Luciferael had formed a creature with a long neck, head, four legs and a tail. He looked around and noticed that Michael had just formed a creature that looked a lot like the Archangels themselves.
    "Stop!" Luciferael commanded, pointing at Michael's creature. "Destroy that, we don't want any creature that looks like us, Michael. The Almighty commanded that we form all sorts of creatures and I am sure He did not intend for us to make lesser forms of Angels. Besides, we are special in the Almighty's eyes and there is no need for more of us."
    "As you wish, my lord," Michael said as he elongated the body of the creature in his hands, made the face into a beak, and kept the wings, forming a creature made of clay that could fly.
    Taking the Book of Creation Luciferael walked up to each of the creatures, breathed into them, and called out, "Tribuo Vita!" And each of the creatures sprang to life.
    Luciferael rolled long tubes of clay, placed a head on each but kept them free of other appendages and used his eyes to refocus some his light energy to provide colors to these models. He then used the Book to animate them, and he called them Serpents. They delighted him with their own simple beauty.
    Growing bolder, the Luciferael starting making larger and larger creatures, some so large the Archangels had to fly up to be at head level with them.
    Luciferael, Sammuael, Mephistophael, and Beelzebael were delighted with the size of the creatures they had formed.
    "We should create a name for these creatures too, my lord," Mephistophael said to Luciferael as he formed a large one with sharp teeth, ferocious in its appearance.
    "Yes, we should," responded Luciferael as he paused to think for a minute. "I have it! We shall call these large creatures dinosaurs. We shall take special care of them," Luciferael said to the close circle of Angels around him that now also included Damiel and Suriel.
    "Look at the smaller ones that Michael's group has created." They laughed among themselves when they looked at the one creature that Ariel had created with a large shell that could hide the head and limbs of the creature.
    "Look at that other one that has long legs that jumps" said Beelzebael pointing out Gabriel's creature.
    Laughing Luciferael said "It's a good thing we are here. We have created magnificent creatures! They will rule the planet!"
    They spent the rest of the day forming all sorts of creatures, keeping at it until the sun was beginning to set off on the horizon. Their creatures were roaming freely, still dazed from having been given life that day. The Archangels collected themselves, and forming a large group, took off together in formation. They all were proud of what they had accomplished, glancing back occasionally as they rose into the Heavens at the creatures they had made.
    Upon awakening the following morning, the Angels were excited at the prospect of checking on the new creations that they had assisted in making. Arriving in the morning at the Throne Room for the morning ceremony, they could not wait to go see their
