WARLOCK DID IT
WARLOCK DID IT
"We do not know", Angel Raphael replied to him.
"What do you mean you don't know? Where is the Serpent's wretched body?" Archangel Gabriel shouted and asked the congregation again angrily.
The clouds in the sky turned dark as lightning raged across the sky of Eden.
"That is the mystery. Nobody claimed the deceased body of the Mother of Serpent. The Garden of Eden just went up in flame including her dead carcass", Angeles replied to the Archangel.
"Well, somebody must be responsible. The Garden of Eden will not burn by itself", Archangel Gabriel asked.
"The last person we saw in the Garden of Eden was Warlock, the Incarnate of the Dark Angel", Mikael replied to him.
"The Warlock Who? What part does he play in the Revelations?" Archangel Gabriel asked.
"That is the puzzle. Warlock is the Traitor Incarnate of the former Dark Angel. He has a negligible role in the Revelations", Angel Canaan replied to him.
"How does the burning of the Garden of Eden affect the Revelations?" Archangel Gabriel asked.
"Fortunately for us, the burning of the Garden of Eden is a setback for the Revelations. Without the dead body of the Mother Serpent, the new Serpent of Trinity will not regain her lost powers", Canaan replied to him.
"Then this is a joyous occasion rather than a somber one if the Serpent will not regain her powers. We should have burned the Garden of Eden ourselves", Archangel Gabriel said to them as he leisurely crossed his leg again.
"The mystery gets deeper with this. If even with our magic and power we couldn't destroy the Mother Serpent's dead body and her garden, what could have burned them so completely?" Canaan asked.
"Maybe the Warlock Traitor did it", Gabriel said.
"Warlock doesn't have the ability to burn down the Garden of Eden", Canaan added.
"What was this Warlock doing recently? Maybe he found something that could burn the garden down," Gabriel asked.
"We found Malevolence in the Garden of Eden after it was razed by fire, it matches with the magic of Warlock", Mikael reported.
"There was Malevolence activity in the continent recently. At first, we thought it was the coming of the new Dark Angel but with hindsight, it could well be Warlock doing some mischief. He may have gained part of the powers of the Dark Angel by some means", Angeles reported to the angels.
"Why should he burn down the Garden of Eden even if he found the means to do so?" Angel Mikael asked.
"We don't know yet, but Warlock is known to have lost his mind after the last Revelations and he is stupid", Angel Angeles replied.
"Warlock is nothing to be feared in the Revelations", Angel Metron said.
"Where is Warlock now?" Gabriel asked.
"Erm..Warlock escaped from Eden", Angeles reported.
"How is that possible?" Gabriel asked again.
"A Saint helped him escape into Elis. After that they joined the army of demons invading the Monastery of Elis and was not heard again", Angeles added.
"Erm… Warlock was seen in the continent near the kingdom of Uralis, among the demon army", Angel Daniel reported.
"Did you call me down from Heaven because of this? This is not news that should concern me. Just deal with the Warlock", Archangel Gabriel told the Congregation irritated and reprimanded them for wasting his time.
"Anything that involves Malevolence is an urgent matter to report to your excellency, even if it doesn't involve the awakening of the new Dark Angel", Canaan replied to the Archangel.
"Whatever", the Archangel Gabriel said to the Congregation of Angels.

[In the desert of Elis sometime before the Congregation of Angels]
The special carriage passed through a long golden highway in the desert of Elis. The destination of the carriage was the Monastery of Elis and subsequently to the Gate of Elis.
Suddenly, the carriage was stopped as an army of apostles approached them.
"Stop your carriage. This road is closed", a general of the apostles shouted toward the carriage not knowing who was inside.
"Insolence. Do you know who is on our carriage?" the driver replied and scolded the soldier.
The carriage was the usual transport for the VIP in Elis and someone important must be sitting on it, so the apostle general changed his arrogant attitude immediately.
"Your excellency, the highway to the Monastery of Elis is closed due to the invasion of demons. You must make a stop here and proceed no further", the apostle general said to the carriage, addressing the person inside.
"Demon invasion? Why are the demons still in Elis?" the man inside the carriage asked.
"About a month ago, an inactivated portal to Hell was unexpectedly activated. We don't know how the demons did it, but they crossed into Elis from Hell. They are attacking the Monastery of Elis as we speak", the general replied to the man in the carriage.
"Bring me to the demons", the man inside the carriage said.
The apostle general hesitated and didn't know whether to obey him before he asked him, "May I know who your excellency is?"
"Kneel before Saint Pilsbury of Eden", the driver informed the apostle general, and the apostles quickly prostrated themselves and bowed to the man in the carriage.
"We are saved if the Saints will help us in Elis", one of the apostles said to the others.

From a distance, the golden sands of the desert swelled, stretching across the vast expanse under the heat of the sun.
Above the swirling dunes hovered enormous, grotesque vehicles, their strange shapes looming ominously. These ships were crafted in the likeness of demonic faces, their twisted features casting dark shadows over the sands below.
Perched atop the ships were equally hideous Greater Demons, not the highest in the infernal hierarchy, but formidable, nonetheless. Their triple-horned heads crackled with powerful magic, their raw energy rivaling that of Demonlords.
These Greater Demons served as the fiery core of the demon-faced ships, their presence driving the vessels forward.
Behind them, a tide of demons—thousands, perhaps millions—marched across the desert, ranging from towering monsters to smaller, swarming fiends, all ready to launch a devastating assault on the Monastery of Elis.
