STARS AND PLANETS

The Creation expanded and the Almighty was absent for longer periods of time, manifesting new Universes. Luciferael continued to officiate at the morning ceremonies, entering the Throne Room at dawn alone, without the Almighty and his Seraphim and Throne Angels. Beelzebael and Sammuael offered to lead the procession before him and make it more of a pageant and formal, just as it was when the Almighty would arrive. But Michael had overheard the conversation and objected, arguing that only the Almighty should be given that level of glory.

Luciferael backed off and decided it was not worth discussing. Besides, he loved being the sole creature entering the Throne Room from above, with all eyes on him. Luciferael relished being the center of attention, addressing all the assembled Orders of Angels and giving assignments as the Almighty had instructed him beforehand. As leader of the Archangels, he was given the extra authority of assigning his own tasks to the Archangels, as he saw fit, unless there was a special mission that the Almighty needed for one or more of them to fulfill. With all this attention by the Almighty and Orders of the Angels, Luciferael felt more and more that he was partners with the Almighty in the Creation and he wanted to make sure that it went well.

But after he created the dinosaurs and various life forms on Earth, Luciferael became bored with being in charge of only the Heavens and the one planet. He wanted to explore more of the Universe, and expand his influence. He offered to assist the Almighty create more of the Universe and convinced the Almighty that the lesser Orders of Angels could continue working on the Earth's projects while the Archangels could progress to creating stars and planets. It delighted the Almighty that His First Born had the ambition and desire to expand his own creativity, and He readily gave His blessing to Luciferael's offer.

The day of the announcement, Luciferael was again in charge of the Heavens as the Almighty was absent. Luciferael beamed during the ceremony, especially proud of himself, and after it concluded he arose from the Throne and addressed his fellow Archangels.

"The Almighty has granted me the honor to lead the Order of the Archangels in creating additional stars and planets today!" he said, looking around at each one of them.

"He is delighted with the life forms we have created on the Earth, and has agreed that we are all ready to move onto larger creations. As you are aware, this relies upon mathematical models and we shall therefore continue to use the model of the atom which I show you here."

Luciferael then used his light energy to draw a diagram in midair.

"There are smaller round masses of energy which rotate around a larger central mass, and held together with opposing electrical charges. The stars and planets are constructed in similar fashion, but on a much larger scale. The stars and planets will operate on the same principles, that of substances rotating around one another and the resulting weight of the congealed atoms will rotate upon themselves and around the stars themselves. The force that holds the massive stars and planets in place is based on a similar scheme but rather than electrical opposites the force here is known as gravity."

The other Archangels nodded in understanding.

"We will use the Book of Creation here as well to assist our efforts." Luciferael said as he turned back to the Throne and lifted off the top cover, and reached down within it. He then withdrew the Book and added, "Here are the means and the Words needed to create and accomplish our tasks." Luciferael opened the Book and read from it and said "In creating the stars and the planets, the Words we shall use for creating stars shall be 'Solarisgenesis' and the Words that we shall use for creating a planet shall be 'Planetusgenesis.'"

Luciferael moved slightly so he could face Archangel Michael who stood across from him, noticing that the silver tipped Archangel's attention was firmly focused on what he was saying.

"Michael, I want you to go to the North and start creating there."

Glancing quickly at the Archangels standing to the right of Michael, Luciferael pointed to them and stated, "Uriel, Raphael, and Suriel, join and assist him." All four Archangels acknowledged the command in unison by making a slight bow and lowered their eyes briefly in submission.

Luciferael then turned to Gabriel, a beautiful figure with his green tipped wings: "Gabriel, you take the East," and then pointed to the two Archangels standing near Gabriel and said, "Mammonael and Raziel will accompany you." They nodded in Luciferael's direction and all proceeded to bow before him.

Luciferael looked over at the remainder of the Archangels and assigned them to the other quadrants in the known Universe. "Beelzebael, Sammuael, Damiel, and Ariel, you take the West. Jarahmael will accompany me, along with Mephistophael, and we will head to the South. We shall all return here at the end of the day and discuss our progress. See how far we are able to expand the Universe on behalf of the Almighty!"

Luciferael then addressed the group of Archangels again as a whole. "But before any of you go, you will need a portion of the Book of Creation to assist you." Luciferael carefully took the Book, opened a section, and then called out "Effingo" three times. Each time he called the Word out a number of pages flew out of the Book as a small packet. He held out the three booklets and motioned for each of the leaders of the small groups of Archangels to come forward.

"Here are copies of the pages with the Words you will need to bring along with you to create. Remember that the copies will only last until sundown so use their powers wisely! Take them with you to create the stars and planets in your parts of the Universe."

Luciferael kept the Book of Creation for his use and tucked it into his tunic. He further announced to the Orders of Archangels that they should contact him if they had problems with their assignments. He shifted the Book of Creation once again, adjusting it so he could fly easily. He then carefully placed the top cover back on the Throne.

Luciferael, now finished with his formal instructions, stepped down off the Throne, while the Archangels finished preparing themselves in the groups Luciferael had designated. Once everyone was organized, they flew down through the Heavens.

The Order of the Archangels emerged from the First Heaven with Luciferael leading the group. Rather than continuing to fly down to the Earth below, they flew off to the side and upward into the regions of outer space that opened up into the rest of the Universe. As he flew into the darkness of space, Luciferael called out "Prodeo Luminarium Fluo!" and a glowing sphere of red appeared situated off in the distance between the First Heaven and outer space. He motioned for the rest of the Archangels to come closer as he began to explain.

"The Almighty created a network of energy streams that we can use to travel quickly throughout the stellar Universe that is tied to the Earth. This glowing area here is the hub for entering into the system. It's called the cosmic light energy stream. Angels can travel anywhere in the Universe through it, and it suspends the passage of time in this Universe."

Michael interrupted. "Does that mean it will feel like we have traveled instantaneously?"

"Yes and no, Michael. No time will have passed between when you get in and get out of the stream. But you will still experience a passage of time while in the stream although it will be condensed. That way you can observe where you are in the Universe while you are traveling and then know where you want to get off."

"How do we use it?" asked Sammuael.

"To enter the system you just need to use your wings and fly into it. The same is true for leaving it, you just have to forcefully fly out of it."

"How do we know which stream to take?" asked Gabriel.

"All you have to do is say your destination and it will take you there. For example, Gabriel all you need to do once you get within the stream is to say, 'take me East to the end of the Universe,' and that's where it will take you. Anyone or thing that is touching your body will travel along with you, so in other words as long as Suriel, Mammonael and Raziel are touching you when you say the command, they will travel along with you. Otherwise they will have to say their own command, this would allow them also to choose their own destination if they so desired.

"Any questions?" Luciferael asked while looking at each of the Archangels faces.

"How do we find the stream when we want to leave after we are done at the edge of the Universe?" asked Ariel.

"All you have to do is call out 'Prodeo Luminarium Fluo!' as I just did and the stream will appear close to you, and it will glow in bright red. Just as it did here. Any more questions?"

Looking around, he saw that the Archangels were all ready to go.

"All right then, everyone fly into the stream!"

They all followed Luciferael as he flew into the red sphere.

Once inside, Luciferael grouped them together as he had assigned them in Heaven. He watched as Gabriel, Suriel, Mammonael and Raziel all touched wings and then disappeared in a blur when Gabriel called out "East, end of the Universe!"

Michael, Uriel, Raphael, and Suriel stepped forward, wings touching, and disappeared when Michael called out, "North, end of the Universe." And right after that, Beelzebael, Sammuael, Damiel, and Ariel stepped forward and disappeared when Beelzebael called out, "West, end of the Universe."

With the rest of the Archangels safely on their way, Luciferael then led Jarahmael and Mephistophael into the stream and they headed towards the southernmost end of the Universe.

As they raced through the Universe carried by the stream, they passed by numerous stars and galaxies that had been previously created by the Almighty. Various waves of light emanated from the stars, some in visible light colors and others in light ranges that were only detectable by the Archangels themselves, but blurred in detail by the speed at which the Archangels were traveling. When Luciferael's small group finally reached the edge of the Universe, they broke out of the cosmic light energy stream with a forceful thrust to the side using their wings. Now hovering, they prepared to create more stars and planets.

Rolling over slightly as he floated, and still energized by traveling so far and so fast in the pure energy stream, Luciferael smiled and exclaimed, "Is this not wonderful?"

Not waiting for an answer, Luciferael then spun around and realized that the stars nearby at the edge of the Universe were very new so he opened up his wings and arms to absorb even more energy that was radiating off them.

Mephistophael exclaimed, "Yes, my lord! The energy that is coming off those newly created stars is fantastic."

Jarahmael looked uneasy as he floated in the radiation, unsure as to what to do next. Luciferael beamed because he personally loved to create large objects such as dinosaurs and stars, and was always delighted to instruct his fellow Archangels in a new skill. He felt proud that he had the honor of observing the Almighty and the methods He used to create the stars and planets on prior occasions.

Jarahmael then spoke up and asked Luciferael, "How does the Almighty create these things? Does He use the Book of Creation to do so or is He able to do it on His own?"

Luciferael quickly shot a glance over to Mephistophael to make sure that he stayed quiet and then answered.

"Oh yes, Jarahmael," Luciferael lied and continued, "the Almighty, too, has to use the Book of Creation to make such things." He puffed himself up ever so slightly. He knew that he did not want Jarahmael to think that the Almighty was stronger than himself. He would keep the mystique.

"Now let's make some stars!" Luciferael said as he moved over to where Jarahmael was floating in space. "Here, point your hand where you want the star to appear, hold onto the Book and call out 'Solarisgenesis!'"

Jarahmael did as he was told, pointed his hand at an open area of space and called out "Solarisgenesis!" Instantaneously, there was a flash of extremely bright light, and a new star was created. Its nuclear reaction began, radiating out energy and light. Another star had been formed and Jarahmael had done it! Turning to Luciferael, Jarahmael proudly stated, "I did it! How wonderful to be able to create stars just like the Almighty!"

Luciferael then took back the Book, pointed his hand at various places around the star created by Jarahmael, and called out, "Planetusgenesis!" eight times, and with eight flashes of light, eight planets were instantaneously formed at various distances out from the star, all still remaining within the star's gravitational field. The planets did not engage in a nuclear reaction, so they did not radiate heat and light as the star had. Luciferael did however take the Creation one step further, and with a flick of his wrist he called out the word "Orbit!" and the newly created planets began to circle around the star.
