[Mythology] Walking with God for 300 Years

After a moment of silence, Michael said to the gorgeous and handsome angel in front of him.

"One thing you need to understand, Lucy, my faith in God hasn't changed since I was born."

Hearing these words, Lucifer's expression changed slightly.

"Lu Xi, I don't understand what you are thinking more and more over the years... Maybe there have been wavering and deviations in my heart, but the seven virtues have never been a constraint for me, and the second is the pursuit of faith, and I am willing to abide by them. "

"Praise the Lord God, who is omniscient and omnipotent, and whose love is boundless."

Lucifer listened without saying a word from the beginning to the end, his face froze into ice and snow in winter, which made people feel fearful at first glance.

After finishing speaking, Michael continued to fly towards heaven, leaving only Lucifer in place.

"Michael." Lucifer shouted reluctantly, his tone was pale and weak like never before.

Michael didn't look back.

The pitch-black sky and the stretch of yellow sand are the same as when they came, but the moods of the two have already been turned upside down.

Thousands of meters of undulating palaces are spread all over the starry sky, and the magnificent towering domes shine brightly in the sun.

Michael landed with wings flapping and strode towards the palace where the Son of God, Messiah, was. The gates opened automatically, and the white road seemed endless. The angel attendants saw Michael approaching. Afterwards, they all bowed down to salute.

"His Royal Highness Michael."

"Praise be to you, Your Highness."

……

The Holy Son Messiah has just finished a round of prayers. His white clothes are not stained with any dust, and his silver hair is like the flowing moonlight, holy and peaceful.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, Michael." Messiah said.

"Please do one thing, Messiah." Michael said, "I want to go to the moon to pray to God. During this period, I would like to ask you to temporarily replace the position of Archangel Archangel and help me with official duties."

Messiah was puzzled, "Why don't you pray on the sidereal day?"

"There are too many angels in the stars." Michael forced a calm smile. "As long as there is God in my heart, it is the same everywhere. The quiet environment of the moon is more suitable for me to pray."

Now that Michael had already said this, the Messiah would say no more.

"Then I'm going to Moon Sky." Michael straightened his sleeves and stood up. "Lu Xi doesn't know that I'm going to pray. Please go to the cherub and tell him."

"Why are you in such a hurry? How long are you going to be away?" Messiah asked.

"I don't know, it depends...Maybe decades, hundreds of years." Michael looked out of the window with inexplicable eyes.

"Did something happen?" Messiah asked, he felt that today's Michael was really abnormal.

"Nothing happened."

Michael didn't go to the center of the moon sky and stay with those angels, but found a small church at the edge of the moon sky, and lived in it quietly.

The moon sky is the closest place between heaven and the mortal world.

When night comes, the center of the lunar sky is still as bright as day, but the corners on the edge will be as dark as the world.

The moon in the deep blue sky looks dozens of times larger than the mortal world due to the refraction of light, so close that it seems that you can touch it with your hand.

The chapel was a temporary resting place built by ordinary angels to descend to the mortal world at the beginning. After the gate of the nine layers of space in heaven was built, there was no use for it. It had been abandoned for nearly a thousand years and no one came.

After Michael came, he transplanted the small vines that had climbed on the walls over the years to other places, repaired the damaged roof and walls with his strength, and found white marble slabs to re-pave the ground...

These little things Michael can let any angel do at will, but Michael feels that he can find something to do, and he doesn't want to see any angels for the time being.

Finally one day, Michael wandered around inside and outside the chapel repeatedly, but found that there was nothing to repair.

He sighed and walked into the hall inside the chapel.

The midday sun shines through the dome's stained glass skylight, forming a small cross pattern.

Michael half knelt down on his knees, closed his eyes and folded his hands together, softly reciting a poem praising God in his heart.

Because God walks with me I won't be alone

Laughter with God, joy with sorrow, God with tears

God is my strength, I will not despair

In poverty and weakness, with God’s gift, I will be strong

"When I am tired and weak, God gives me strength." Michael opened his eyes, "Praise God, Jehovah."

I don't know when there are white light spots flying around, thin but bright like stars, bringing bursts of warmth, surrounding Michael and refusing to leave.

To be able to do this without Michael feeling any different, even Lucifer couldn't do it.

"My God?" Michael shouted uncertainly.

"I am here."

An ethereal and gentle voice came from the ear, confirming Michael's conjecture.

"Your mind is full of troubled thoughts because of Lucy, Michael," said God.

"You know it all, God." Michael said nervously.

"I know everything that has happened in the world, don't suppress yourself too much, you are already fine, Michael."

"Michael is willing to repent and admit his mistakes, please give Lucy another chance, don't punish..." Thinking of Lucifer, Michael became more nervous, he hesitated to speak halfway, afraid that his pleading words would offend God instead.

"There is no perfect existence in everything, and any life will make mistakes. I am willing to wait for Lucy to figure it out." The voice in my ear was deep and ethereal, like the sound of heaven.

Michael held his breath and listened carefully to God's words.

Does this mean that after waiting for Lucifer to figure it out, he voluntarily went to the Great Holy Church to repent?

"I want to stay here alone for a while, my god," Michael said.

"Okay, Michael, you can leave and return to Xing Tian at any time."

After saying this sentence, the voice of God never sounded again, and the small dots of light that surrounded him disappeared.

"My God?" After a while, Michael shouted uncertainly.

This time there was no sound.

At night, Michael would lie half-lying on the white marble slab of the balcony.

He couldn't help recalling the yellow sand, the morning star, and that flashing kiss that day over and over again in his mind.

Michael, Lucifer called his name.

As soon as he closed his eyes, Michael felt these syllables echoing in his ears.

"Michael." The voice echoed in his ear, and Michael closed his eyes and tried to think about other things.

"Michael." The voice came from the ear again.

Not hallucinations!

Michael instantly opened his eyes and looked out the window.

Lucifer was standing alone among the calla lily bushes outside the chapel, his white robe was still stained with dew, when he saw Michael appearing at the window, he took a step forward excitedly, but was caught by an invisible The barrier blocks it.

Seeing Lucifer suddenly, Michael's heart was in a state of confusion, he stood there stiffly for a moment, and finally heaved a heavy sigh and went out to see Lucifer.

"Don't bother, Lucy, this is the barrier my god made during the day." Seeing that Lucifer was about to smash the barrier with his long sword, Michael said.

Lucifer's expression froze instantly, "God imprisoned you here?"

"Don't think too much." Michael stretched out his hand and shook it outside the barrier, "I can leave anytime I want."

"Come back to the stars with me, Michael." Lucifer said.

"I won't go back." Michael said lightly but firmly, "Luci, we need some time and distance between you and me."

"Don't treat me like this." Lucifer forcibly suppressed his trembling voice, "Michael, I don't want to endure day after day, even if it's a fall, I want to be with you."

Standing at the top of the world since birth, no one can make Lucifer bow his head except the God who created the world. This is the first time he has shown such a weak side.

"You are willing, but I am not. Lucy, I will never betray my belief in God." Michael said, "Give up this absurd emotion and go to the cathedral to confess to God. It is good for you and me."

"I won't do this, never will." Lucifer closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice.

Michael took a step back and returned to the church, "Then you leave and go back to the stars, I won't go back with you."

"I'll wait for you here." Lucifer said behind him.

Lucifer stood at the door of the church for seven days, and Michael said that he might go back soon.

Lucifer stood at the door of the church for a month, and Michael told himself at the door to wait, he would give up in a short time.

Lucifer stood at the door of the church for a year, Michael couldn't think of anything, he wanted to push the door uncontrollably several times, but stopped halfway.

Lucifer stood at the door of the church for ten years, and finally alarmed all Seraphim and Son.

They didn't understand what happened between Lucifer and Michael, but the operation of heaven cannot be separated from the Viceroy of Heaven, and they rushed to persuade Lucifer to leave first.

Listening to the voices of persuasion from friends outside the door, Michael kept saying let's go, Lucy.

Lucifer looked at the door of the church that hadn't moved a bit for ten years, because God's barrier was there, and he couldn't get in even with all his might.

"You would rather stay in the chapel for ten years just because of me?" Lucifer's long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings in the wind, looking at the chapel and asking, "For you, I'm just like that ……not good?"

There was silence in that plain church, as if every day and night in the past ten years.

"I understand." Lucifer said after a long time, the last light in his eyes also lost.

In the church, Michael inserted his fingers into his red hair, tightly closed his eyes and refused to open them.

No, because of me.

Dear Lucy, I don't want to leave the chapel because I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself.

Recalling again, when you kissed me in the desert, my first emotion was joy.

I can't betray my belief in God, but if I face you day and night again, I will really shake my will and do things that I can't even imagine.

It is not you I am hiding from here, but myself.

Let time and distance cool down those feelings, and restore the identity of the vice king of heaven and the archangel, the boss and the subordinate, and the best friend of each other, which is good for you and me.

The real one who needs calm and confession is myself.

Get out of here, Lucy.

"Let's leave." Outside the church, Lucifer said to his companions who came to persuade him.

Such a gentle and polite posture, as if the weak expression just now was just an illusion.

Raphael hesitated for a few seconds and didn't know whether to ask and persuade. Lucifer had already spread his wings and flew towards the starry sky. They looked at each other for a few seconds and decided to let go of this matter and follow Lucifer up.
