Nightmares Of A Man. Azazel's Solution To Heavens Dilemma

/////Nightmares/////

A lot of definitions have been attached to this word and with It a lot of causes

It has been described as a disturbing dream that stemmed from Trauma, Drugs, Depression, etc.

The average human would describe it as an aftermath of a horror visage.

Spiritualists describe it as the representation of man’s Inner Demons.

These are not wrong... However, neither are they right.

It's all about perspective.

How it affects you.

Why it affect you

How it comes.

Why it comes.

What it does

And what comes after…

My perspective?

I always believed that a Nightmare is the representation of your true self, your true emotions.

I believe that every night we sleep we have Nightmares...… but we do not wish to confront our emotions or self. So, we wake up with Blanks.

We all want what we have suppressed to be our reality… But it isn't.

A Nightmare shows you the true reality...but who wants that. Most people would rather not see the truth.

I am also part of those people... Those that wish not to see the truth; I would rather be born blind

After all,

“A blind man can never know the color of his clothes”

“That's what I believe… I force myself to… Lest I see myself again… I am too hideous.”

“I've been here far too long.”

“It's time to wake up.”

“If I stay here too long, then it'll come again… I may not survive it this time.”

“Wake up, receive comfort in your self-made reality, and never come back.”

“Wake up, so you won't have to give up.”

“Wake up”

“Wake up”

“Wake up”

“VINCENT!”

''*Gasp*''

Vincent jerked awake

His heart pounded erratically from fear, sweat dripped from every pore of his skin making his cloth stick to his body.

Vincent was in total disarray and his pounding head did not make it any better. Unable to take more of the pain, he laid back and fell asleep again

This time he had a dreamless night… There was no courage nor power to face the Truth again so it retreated. It would make no moves until the time was right, then it would make itself known.

'Nothing can run from the truth'

/////In Heaven/////

Uriel sat on a couch in his home. His personal space was designed to resemble a modern-day room. The room was inspired by the forest; Hence its warm colors that soothe the body.

In the room, there was nothing too special except that the coach didn't face a Television/wall. Instead, it faced sky-high mountains creating a calm serene scene in the very living room. Everything in the room was designed for the highest amount of comfort and laziness.

This worked exceptionally for Uriel who needed some time to relax from Azazel’s Shenanigans.

It has been a day since Azazel had claimed to have found a 'loophole'. Other than that, he gave no other piece of info.

When asked, he would either respond with ''Don't worry about it.'' Or ''Just fixing some tweaks'' with a permanent smug sly smile. These answers made Uriel and his sisters worry even more.

This was because Azazel's inventions were well known for their power but even more known for how dangerous they are. Uriel felt a great fear from the potential danger of this 'Loophole'

It made him remember rather unpleasant memories.

The image of Azazel testing a new spell that was a mix of Eldritch, Summoning, Divinity, and Void brought a shiver to his bones.

After all, it was a spell that destroyed a sector of Universe-T.

[AN: A sector can also be seen as a quadrant of the universe. There are 4 Sectors/Quadrants in each universe.]

Uriel continued to wonder what crazy invention; Azazel had made again.

But he didn't have to wonder long as a message from Azazel reached Uriel's mind

''Come here fast, brat!'' It spoke

Uriel grunted in annoyance and wondered whether Azazel had gotten into a new mess. He withdrew himself from his home, extended his wings, and took flight at sound barrier-breaking speeds.

On his way, He came across a familiar archangel

“Raphael.” He called out

Raphael turned towards Uriel with an annoyed and somewhat fearful look, ''You too?''

Uriel replied with an exasperated smile, ''Yeah, dropped a message with one sentence.''

Raphael flashed a smile of sympathy, ''Yeah me too, it's best we get there fast. We don't know what he's up to now''

''Yeah, let's go''

Raphael and Uriel picked up speed even further and in the split of a second, they arrived at their destination, Azazel's workshop. North of Heaven.

Heaven is divided into 4 Gates, The North Gate, The East Gate, The West Gate, and The South Gate. Within each gate are 3 Sections and all the gates and sections are connected to the center Section, Making a total of 13 Sections.

The 4 Archangels lived within separate gates. Azazel in the North, Uriel in the south, Raphael in the East, and Gabriel in the West. The reason for the Archangels doing that is because of a Defense Mechanism that God created in case of an attack.

Raphael and Uriel entered Azazel's workshop and saw Gabriel already there with Azazel staring at the glowing white ball in the center of the room.

Uriel and Raphael approached Azazel and prodded him to explain. At long last, he answered.

''The ball you see is the product of the desire to find a Loop-Hole in the viewing of the successor.''

Uriel looked at the ball and identified the runes he could see.

''This ball, Isn't this a way of remote viewing.''

Azazel praised Uriel for his answer, “Spot on.”

''So, you want to use it to spy on The Successor''

''Correct again' Azazel said with a smile

Raphael jumped in and asked, ''But I thought the system denied us from seeing the successor?''

''Oh, it did'' Azazel replied with a smile still on his face

''Then?'' Uriel asked

''Sigh, let me explain.'' Azazel started

''What do we use to spy on the [Realms]''

''We use the [System]'' Gabriel Answered

''Correct. The system refused for us to use it to watch the successor. It said nothing about using other means.”

“So, we are left with one choice.” Raphael chimed in.

''Creating our way of viewing the successor'' Uriel finished, His eyes widening at the thought.

''But won't the system know'' Gabriel asked

“Not only that, Father has put a protective field over The Realms. We would need something extremely powerful to pierce that. That's why we use the system in the first place.”

''That's why I found a loop-Hole in Heaven's Core... And tweaked it a little'' he said with a grin

''WHAT!'' Uriel shouted in anger, “Do you know what you have done! That's a sin, if you were still an Angel you would have''

''Fallen'' Raphael interrupted with a tone of realization.

''That's why I did it, I have already fallen, adding more sins won't harm me.”

''Even if you did, you'll still be accepted into heaven, just like Fallen have been'' Gabriel tried to console

''But….''

''*Sigh*, Y’all are still such brats'' Azazel said in a tired tone

''Do you know why I needed you guys to be with me yesterday in Heaven's core? I wanted to tweak the system a bit further to give you pussies more Lee-Way, now small and most medium sins won't cause you to fall''

''Isn't this a bit too sinful?'' Gabriel asked timidly

''Yes, but desperate times call for desperate measures'' Raphael answered with determination

Azazel looked at Raphael with a wide smile, ''that's why you are my favorite, even after bounding me like a ragdoll that time''

Raphael smiled in kind.

''Anyways, Without further ado. I give to you [The Mirror of Earthly Omniscience]'
