crown of thorns

Love does no harm, so love fulfills the law.

"Why didn't you wait for me!"

Facing Michael's questioning, I was a little overwhelmed.I'm still worried about Van Kil's body. He had a big fight with Michael just now, but because he was exhausted after fighting the Ephesus monster, he couldn't support himself and fell down within a few strokes.Michael and I brought him to Raphael, who was on vacation because he had an additional patient, and Raphael blamed Michael, and Michael didn’t speak, and took the blame, because now he My mind is not on this, it's all on me.

I was both happy and sad about this, and when I left the Garden of Eden, I hugged me tightly: "I already know about you, you have been looking for me for so many days, right? You like me, right wrong?"

Faced with a series of problems, my mind was as confused as it was in the Garden of Eden, because when Michael and I were together, my mind was like paste and I couldn't think about problems.I could only respond with a soft "hmm".

"I have been thinking about you these days, even in the most difficult time, because I still want to come back alive to see you, so I gritted my teeth and survived. Although I am far away in the sky, I seem to be able to hear your call , that's weird." Michael said angrily at my hand.

Although I feel extremely happy, the biggest question has not been resolved. I earnestly asked him: "Where have you been these days?"

Michael doesn't like to sigh, but I heard him sigh heavily and say, "I got into a fight with Gabriel, I was grounded by God, and then... I'm sorry, Seth delivered me. I was going to go with you, but I'm scared."

"Afraid?" I felt very strange, what major event could make a great army commander in the kingdom of heaven afraid?

"To be honest, at that time, I wasn't sure if I was happy with you. Because in the early days, I loved Lucifer among the angels. It wasn't before, and it's the same now. It's just that this love didn't exceed my duty. I thought I It’s the same for you. Do you know? When God visited you when you were seriously injured, I was also there. When I heard you call my name when you were seriously ill, all the angels were surprised, so I felt ashamed. I know It was my fault, and I was extremely frustrated at that time, because I provoked you and kissed you in the Garden of Eden. At that time, I just thought it was fun."

When I heard this, I felt very sad. I wanted to let go of his hands, but they were held tightly by him. I turned my head away from him and said, "Do you think it's fun, so you avoid him?" open me?"

"I don't deny the things I avoided. It was just my wishful thinking at the time. What kind of angel is so fun that he can kiss him?"

When I heard him say this, I was too ashamed to lift my head, and I could only listen to his words silently: "I don't worry about what God thinks of us, because I always feel that He will understand. The most important thing is that I couldn't be sure at first. Do you have an unusual love for you? I heard that people fall in love at first sight, so I thought, does this happen to angels as well?" Michael was originally a straightforward person, but now he began to support He hesitated, "I really doubted and struggled for a long time, although I don't like this feeling of constant hesitation."

Michael squeezed my hand tighter.His face was flushed, and he probably felt a little embarrassed: "At first, I knew you were looking for me, but I hid with Lucifer. He has a very high status, and you can't find his place, so I hid there. But... that time, I heard that you forgave Van Kil."

"Well, I don't think it's something he would do."

"I think you are very kind and brave. On that day, I really wanted to find you, but I was summoned by the Lord on that day, and He assigned me a task."

"Mission?" I looked up at him.

"This task is very private. I don't know whether I should tell you, but you must have seen that it was not easy for Van Kil to assassinate me that day. God gave me the task for this matter. I I went with Lucifer without stopping, and no one had time to say hello."

"That's it! Where did you go?" I suddenly realized, no wonder I couldn't find him.

"Endless chaos. The edge of the sky. Because Lucifer told God that this matter may have something to do with Rahab."

"Isn't Rahab the source of chaos?"

"Eh? How do you know." Michael opened his eyes wide and looked at me strangely: "No one knows about this except God, Lucifer and me."

"I read it from a book. Although I don't know exactly what God did on the first day, I know that when God began to create the world, the whole world was in chaos. Water is the form of chaos. This chaos is called Rahab by the gods. I don’t know what it means, but I guess Rahab has thinking and brains, and God has been fighting against it.”

"Raziel, how much do you really know?" Michael was so surprised that I could hardly close his mouth. "No wonder God said that you will see what He sees."

I could only smile and stroke Michael's hair: "Don't think it's amazing, but I often serve the Lord after all, and I'm also a secretary, so I naturally know more."

"No, if I take you there that time, maybe there will be new discoveries."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

Michael began to complain bitterly: "God wants us to go to the edge of the sky and the place of chaos to investigate the situation. The source of all chaos and darkness is that chaos. He wants us to go deep into the chaos to see if there is anything strange. If it wasn't for Lucifer, I would have almost died in it."

"What's the matter?" As soon as I heard this, I was extremely concerned about this matter. "What's in the chaos?"

"It's scary because there is nothing! Although people call me the Lord of Light, my light can't shine out in the chaos. The light on my body seems to be sucked away. It's pitch black and I can't see anything. And the more I went inside, the heavier my heart was, and I felt that death, sin, and disaster were haunting me like a nightmare. Everything, I felt that my whole body was emitting a disgusting smell, and there was no clean place. My body I kept walking forward, unable to stop, as if I was about to be sucked into the chaos. But I still couldn't see anything in front of me."

Michael suddenly said to me in a special tone: "You know what? This is the first time since I became an angel that I feel so dirty."

The word "dirty" is an extremely scary word for angels.Dirty means depravity, means that an angel has lost the pursuit of truth, goodness and beauty, no longer trusts in Jehovah, has abandoned this world, and becomes a walking dead.We call washable dust and filth "unclean" and never use the word "dirty".An angel is "dirty," which implicitly means that he has fallen or died.

"Then what happened afterwards? Are you okay now?" I anxiously checked his body to see if there was any bad thing or any injuries.

"Haha. I'm still fine! Because at that time, I thought of you." Michael became cheerful when he said this.

"I?"

He scratched my nose jokingly, I covered my nose and looked at him displeasedly, but he smiled even more happily: "Because I thought of you, I heard your calling to me, and I woke up with a start. I looked behind me again, and Lucifer was like the sun, the only ray of light in the chaos. As soon as he grabbed me, I was rescued. The two of us kept groping in the chaos, but I It was the first time I realized that light and darkness are so contradictory. There was a huge light on his body, but as long as he took a step away from the light, it was pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything, and the light couldn’t illuminate anything. But at that time , my heart is filled, I am no longer afraid of this darkness, I only feel so warm when I think of you, just like sleeping in the arms of the Lord"

"You can't talk nonsense." I quickly told him to shut up, "How can I compare with the Lord."

"It's just a metaphor, don't be so nervous." Suddenly, he left a shallow kiss on my forehead: "Rachel..."

"Ok?"

"I love you."

I seem to have heard the longest call in this world since ancient times.This call is like the sound of a flute, floating to every corner of the world.At that time, I was sure that I could even hear the crisp sound of the first morning light falling on the ground, and even the ripples like the angel washing his body in the Milky Way.To this day, even if I am separated from Michael by thousands of mountains and rivers, even if I can no longer see his face, I will never forget the most direct love he said to me at that time.

"Me too." My voice trembled, and tears of excitement flowed from my eyes that I couldn't believe.The two of us hug and kiss together, regardless of spring and autumn, winter and summer.
