Celestial of the Prophet

5 Chapter 5: The Celestial's Explaination

Sagitar sat in his chair, left alone to think. As he was sat at his desk, he began to recall everything regarding what the celestial said to him. The main thought on his mind was the term, Tetragrammaton, as it seemed to be an essential meaning to understanding this being from another world entirely. A smile appeared on his face, as he began to get an inspirational image in his mind for this term. In the image, many celestials crowded over an all-powerful entity past the gates of heaven—an image he perceived to be of true divinity. He planned to eventually draw it on his computer. However, before he could get a glimpse of what to craft in the epicenter of the image, a blinding flash of light interrupted his reverie. The light vanished to reveal his runaway visitor, Celeste.

"Whoa!" Sagitar exclaimed, startled.

"You're nearly there, but not quite," Celeste commented.

"Nearly what?" Sagitar wondered what she meant.

"You're trying to envision the Tetragrammaton. Aren't you?" Celeste rhetorically questioned.

"It's all so complicated. I can't get my head around it. At least I am sure and believe you when you say that you are a celestial at least," Sagitar replied.

"Because I have wings," she paused. "You shouldn't trust what you can see. Satan and Lucifer, two of the greatest of the fallen have wings as well. Although they have spent a long time away from heaven, one specifically in Sheol's depths, they could still maintain the observable attributes of our spiritual bodies without becoming morbid," Celeste explained.

"So what you're trying to say is that you Celestials and the fallen can disguise yourselves and bodies entirely?" Sagitar asked.

"Well only in dreams, I guess. The Seraphim have greater powers though, they can literally distort reality," Celeste explained.

"I see what you mean. However, for you and I, our connection goes deeper than that. I swear that I literally felt your fall from heaven, almost even physically. Also I can feel something surging within me, like some sort of energy. Something has changed. When I close my eyes, I can see this light and when I make it out it appears to be a concentric circle. Just what is happening to me?" Sagitar asked Celeste, hoping for an answer.

Celeste leaned in closer to him. She looked carefully at his eyes.

"You've awakened. It's a good sign," Celeste claimed.

"You need to explain to me a few things so I can get all this round my head but first let us get some refreshments. Celeste I hope you like soda," Sagitar offered.

"Well now that I am on earth I guess I could give it a try," Celeste replied, returning a calm smile at him.

Sagitar then headed downstairs with Celeste following right behind him. As they proceeded down the stairs Sagitar asked, "So what do you guys usually drink? Do you even eat or drink?"

"Well we don't really eat but we do drink. Elixirs are the refreshments up there," Celeste explained. "We can eat, we just don't eat," she added.

"Come on this way," Sagitar directed. He took the lead and showed her the way to the kitchen. Sagitar opened the fridge to grab two cans of ice cold soda. "Here you go," he handed.

Celeste watched as Sagitar opened the can, he started to take a sip. He wanted Celeste to drink it like he did and she could feel this not only consciously but by the way he carried himself. After Sagitar had set an example, Celeste imitated him.

"It tastes kind of bizarre but I guess I could get used to it," Celeste commented.

"Come on, if you want the full spectrum you need to drink it properly," Sagitar claimed. "Here like this."

Then, Sagitar pits half the can in one go.

"Here goes," Celeste replied, downing half the can of soda like Sagitar.

"Well, what did you think?" Sagitar asked.

"It kind of felt weird, I got a funny feeling when I drank it like that, like a rush to my head," Celeste explained.

"Haha! That's all part of the buzz," Sagitar smiled.

"Buzz...I see what you mean," Celeste replied.

"Here, have another one. One's probably not going to be enough for you," said Sagitar, grabbing another can from the fridge.

After the two were done getting their refreshments, Sagitar and Celeste proceeded to the living room. He took a seat first on a single couch closer to the door. Celeste stood by the door and looked at him. She was sipping the can of soda that had already been opened.

"Come on, take a seat then. You can put your cans on the table by the sofa over there," Sagitar suggested, pointing to the direction in his living room where the Celestial, left clueless had to go.

Celeste walked over to the three seat sofa by the wall, opposite the door. She placed the canned drinks on the side table by the seating, then slowly sat down. It was a spectacle that found itself observed.

Sagitar could not help but look at the Celestial's incredibly gorgeous body in the garment she was wearing. Once Celeste had sat down, she took a graceful sitting posture.

"You are staring. Stop that!" Celeste complained firmly.

She could see that Sagitar's attention was focused on her legs and noticed his temperature rising.

"Can you blame me," says Sagitar.

Celeste lets out a sigh. "I know you've got questions to ask. So let's get started shall we,"

"I've done my research and everything. What I just want to know is the meaning of Tetragrammaton?" Sagitar asked.

"Tetragrammaton," Celeste murmured. "The Tetragrammaton, to us Celestials is literally God Almighty," she explained.

"There's something you're not telling me about and I think it's why you challenged the Seraphim's authority in heaven. More accurately it's why you fell," Sagitar paused, puzzled in his own path of thought. "Why would you sacrifice your position?" he continued.

Celeste looked away from Sagitar, upset at his remark. "You wouldn't understand Sagitar," she replied. "You don't know the full story. It is more complicated than you know," Celeste continued.

"Then tell me already," Sagitar snapped.

"Before I give you more knowledge about our history there's something you should know about my fall," says Celeste, staring at him with tensed eyebrows. "Many lives have been lost because of it. You know, before when I left without a warning, I quickly had to go see those souls depart from this world to the next," Celeste explained.

"What are you talking about?" Sagitar asked. The way Celeste was talking put Sagitar's mind into an uneasy state.

"Have you checked the media yet?" Celeste questioned.

"The media? What are you talking about?" Sagitar replied, confused.

"You know...on television...what you humans watch to get information about things that are happening in society," Celeste explained.

"Oh you mean the news. I get you now," says Sagitar.

"No, you haven't checked it yet I see," Celeste quenched.

She put her right hand on her forehead and rubbed it down her face, as a sign of exhaustion.

Then in their front, the fifty inch plasma television by the wall took their attention. Celeste hinted to Sagitar to turn it on and he wouldn't waste time with her suggestion. Sagitar picked up the remote control on the main table in the center of the room. Then he turned on the television immediately changing the channel to the Central News Network. It's the global news channel.

'Alien, UFO or meteor Crash in England' was the main headline. The news reporter was explaining to viewers that an entity from space had crashed in a field near Kingswood high-street. She could barely explain what had just happened. Suddenly a shot of the entity could be seen close up on the TV. It was a blurry picture but the shot showed a glowing being at the center of the crash.

The voice of the reporter blasted from the speakers of the television. "What we're seeing is the entity getting up from the impact and standing up. We can't get a detailed image but it appears to have two arms, two legs and wings kind of like what we would depict as an angel. But God only knows what it is really,"

The footage shown by the News Cast Services flabbergasted Sagitar.

"No way! That happened literally right here in Bristol. Kingswood is not even far from Downend. It's over the hills, literally! I'm not saying that because of the shock but it's well just right there!" Sagitar exclaimed, getting off his seat pointing in the location's direction.

"And that's you right! It's got to be!" he shouted.

"Yes and they did not even show the most important part of the news," Celeste mentioned.

"And what would that be?" Sagitar asked.

"The amount of people that lost their lives due to the impact of my fall," Celeste said soberly.

"Oh…I see," Sagitar slowly muttered. He was so hyped up by the news footage that he had forgotten how Celeste had only just mentioned how lives were lost. With that taken to hand, it was there that he could see the guilt in her eyes.

"Damn! What a tragedy. Just...just how many people died?" Sagitar asked.

"In total, twelve," Celeste replied.

"Flip me, I can't believe this. Why didn't you tell me sooner?" Sagitar quenched.

"It wasn't the right time," Celeste explained.

"People are going to want to know the culprit. People are going to want answers," Sagitar shouted.

Suddenly, everything went silent. Sagitar's thoughts about Celeste started to become negative. She could see the darkness within him and his thoughts affecting her heart. But she knew him well. She knew of his content and was patient for a Sagitar that had been given time to adjust to what he was hearing.

"Please stop thinking like that. I did what I thought was right," says Celeste.

"You should have let me rest in peace!" Sagitar argued.

"It didn't go as I planned it. I mean I expected I would be cast out from heaven but I was hoping I would crash land in a forest or plains but it's been a long time since the earth had a true forest, considering all the dominant trees have been cut down and are now as mountains since man lost the Holy Spirit. The problem we have when we fall from grace is the destruction we cause on the world afterwards. We leave it scarred not to mention the fact that lives could be lost if we hit a populated area," Celeste explains herself.

From what Sagitar could see, her countenance had dropped and her heart was heavy. At this point she regretted the decision she made.

"This is all too much to take in. I'm not worth all that hassle. It would have been better if I was dead," Sagitar yelled.

"You don't know what you are saying Sagitar," Celeste replied.

After closing his eyes for a few seconds and thinking about the situation at hand, Sagitar walks over towards Celeste. When he arrived in front of her, he gently placed his right hand on her shoulder to comfort her. "Look, what occurred has occurred and it can't be helped. It's not like you intended to cause this uproar or even take lives in the process for that matter," Sagitar spoke.

"That's the case," Celeste replies.

She stared deeply at the Television, sadness was written all over her face.

"I'm turning this off. It's too depressing." Sagitar put off the television and sat back down. He looked at Celeste but she was lost in her mind and no word was going to fall out of her mouth. However, he took it upon himself to break the silence in order to know the truth about the Celestials. The only subject that came to his mind was the topic that had disturbed him with countenance. But more so, recently in his life course for a while. It had been itching him to the point where he believed his encounter with Celeste had served as a point of epiphany for him.

"So are you going to tell me about Satan and Lucifer?" Sagitar asked.

He recalled Celeste speaking as if Satan and Lucifer were two separate entities entirely.

"What would you like to know?" Celeste asked.

"What's the deal with them?" Sagitar questioned.

"The good thing is you know of the literature. They were both seen as the adversary in their time—as fallen—because many Celestials fell who followed them. More Celestials fell in Satan's case. But that is not the part you'd be interested in," Celeste replied.

"And what part is that?" Sagitar inquired, not completely sure of the references.

"I know how fascinated you are about the stories related to Lucifer. Satan and Lucifer aren't the same entity Sagitar. Lucifer isn't even male, she is female like me, or at least that is how she carries and presents herself" Celeste explained.

"What! Are you for real?" Sagitar uttered with fascination beaming from his face. He could not believe what he was hearing.

"She was blessed with the light that guides the heavens. She is the lightbringer and was the chosen one to enter the abyss consistently during the rapture. She could always find her way out because she could brighten up the darkest regions of our reality," Celeste revealed.

"But you can glow as well, I've seen it," Sagitar said.

"Not in the way Lucifer does. In pitch black darkness, in Sheol where there is no sun, she can light up a large circumference around her making it possible to see in the underworld. What you saw from me was a standard Celestial ability," Celeste explains.

"So she's powerful?" Sagitar wondered how she would fair against Celeste in a fight.

"Well she is a Seraphim and at her maximum she is one of the five most powerful of the Celestials. It would be an easy win for her. Maybe not now though in her fallen state. But really…that's what you were thinking about," Celeste sighed.

"Err…yeah I guess," Sagitar responded.

"Moron! You need to take this seriously," Celeste snapped.

"You know, now that you're down here, you probably need to dress the part," Sagitar suggested.

"What's wrong with what I have on? It's one of the most gracious robes in heaven," Celeste revolted.

"To fit in and not draw attention to yourself, dress more casually like us mortals down here," Sagitar proposed.

"Please get up for a moment," Celeste asked him.

"Ok," Sagitar replied.

After they both stood up, Celeste walked towards him. Standing next to him, she closed her eyes, she placed the right palm of her hand on his forehead and there was a sudden flash of light. As soon as the light went out, Celeste's clothes had changed. She was wearing tight blue leather jeans and a small white tank top. Celeste's bra was noticeable due to the transparency of her top.

"From looking at what you've seen this year, I've seen the standard clothes women wear and this was my ideal choice," Celeste claimed.

Sagitar was in awe, he could not help but notice her perfect bust right in front of him. He then looked further down at her waistline, the perfection in her figure could not be denied.

"Wow, you look good," Sagitar muttered, letting out a suspicious cough.

"Well off course, I am beauty incarnate" Celeste replied.

"So you can just generate clothes you desire, just like that?" Sagitar wondered.

"It's more complicated than you think. This gown I wear, it can take whatever form I want. Then I seal it with alchemy to wrap it on my body" Celeste explains.

"Remarkable," says Sagitar, looking more closely at the jean's material.

"What happens if it tears?" he asked.

"It will automatically repair after I use alchemy to restore its structure. Just think of the cloth as tiny microscopic matter pieces, an attachment to my body," Celeste explained.

"Man, you Celestials are so advanced," Sagitar replied. "I know this is an odd thing to ask but what do Celestial's actually do? I've heard the stories and the lore but I want to actually know what goes on up there," he added.

"What we do? Well…we preserve reality and the balance. We do whatever the Tetragrammaton asks of us. Some of us monitor souls leaving this world to the next. We also are watchers and we watch over the world to make sure certain things happen and certain things do not," Celeste answered.

"Preserve reality and the balance. Obviously! Should have realized that," Sagitar replied, relatively satisfied with the answer given.
