Song: The Bridge to Khazad Dum (Extended)
Me: Who lives there?
Emalickel: Nobody anymore. There were once hundreds of thousands more celestials who inhabited Lapoi. Those abandoned structures used to be the homes of some of our Lapoian Guards.
Me: Guards?
Emalickel: Humans refer to them as Guardian Angels. Guards tend directly to the matters of mortals.
Me: Why don’t they live there anymore?
There was a pause. Emalickel looked through me as he appeared to be concentrating on a voice which I could not hear. He focused back into my eyes but hesitated before he answered.
Emalickel: We lost a large sum of them when the Lapoian Guards were delivering important messages to the mortals of Earth. This was during a time of great intellectual advancement for mortals. Guards were to regularly manifest on the Earth in their celestial forms to educate humans through a series of direct contacts. During their visits, many of our guards began experiencing feelings of attraction and lust for the female humans. Although physical sexual contact on the mortal plane is strictly forbidden for any celestial of all the spheres, many of our guards were unable to resist. The feelings and emotions of lust and love were unlike any ever experienced by celestials before. Lacking self-discipline and control, many of them gave into their emotions. They fell in love. Distracted from their purpose, they physically united with the females of Earth, mixing celestial DNA with the mortals’ and choosing to stay on the mortal plane with them.
This blending of species created hybrid offspring. Mortals have referred to them by many names: titans, demi-gods, giants, and nephilim. They predominantly became powerful over mortals. Most of them became destructive towards mankind. They could not be defeated with brute force. Hybrids began producing more hybrids. There were hybrids of hybrids. Over time the Earth became entirely infested with all kinds of interbred hybrid beings. God intervened. He instructed the Warrior Celestials of Lapoi to create a Great Flood on the Earth. Almost all would perish, but it would cleanse the Earth of any abominations.
Even the fallen Lapoian Guards, who were residing on the Earth with their beloved females, perished. Afterwards, God sent the souls of the Guards and nephilim into isolation with chains. This is where they are still imprisoned today, thus why their homes have been abandoned. The mortal females were able to walk the new Earth again, but without any memory of their past lives.
Me: I’m sorry that happened.
Emalickel: No need to feel sorry. God had it planned that way from the beginning for a lesson in obedience to both celestial and mortal.

Emalickel took in a deep breath and exhaled. He snapped his fingers and a hologram image of space appeared in front of us. It interacted with Emalickel as he explained the process of existence.
Emalickel: There are Three Spheres to existence. Everyone within each of these spheres is responsible for one another.
The innermost sphere is called the Third Sphere. This is where mortal and celestial reside. Within this sphere there are billions of realms, or galaxies, as humans call them. Each realm is comprised of many stars and planets. Most of these realms are uninhabited, but nine of them host life. At the center of each of these nine realms is a control land. The control land exists on the celestial plane and hosts the celestials who oversee that realm. On each control land there live three types of celestials—Princedoms, Warriors, and Guards. The Princedoms are the authority of the realms. They collectively protect and preserve the Third Sphere while overseeing the duties of the warriors and guards of their realms. Warriors answer to the Princedoms and preserve and protect their realms, while guards directly tend to the mortal plane of their realms.
Lapoi is the control land of the realm of Millattus, or The Milky Way, as you know it to be. The Guards of Lapoi tend to the mortals of Earth, and the two other mortal planets within Millattus, called Fynne and Grahst. The Warriors of Lapoi protect and preserve all Millattus but are also able to control events on each planet within Millattus’ mortal plane. The Princedoms of Lapoi oversee the realm of Millattus and its celestial guards and warriors. They are the acting authorities of all Millattus. They also are responsible for protecting and preserving the Third Sphere collectively with the Princedoms of the other eight realms. There are two Princedom celestials of Lapoi. They are referred to as the Princes. There are also two Warrior Princedoms who oversee the warriors, and two Guard Princedoms who are over the guards.
Although mortal souls come from various origins, many of the mortal males actually derived from Lapoi. They once walked among us as fellow celestials. When God spoke more into creation, the orders came for each celestial to forget who they were and engage in the mortal experience. The goal was to introduce contrast into the light of creation. The concepts of color, feelings, emotions, appreciation, love, and understanding were a result of experiencing the contrary. The mortal experience was to help creation evolve and expand into more.
One-by-one celestials volunteered to take their turns experiencing mortality. A celestial will return to Lapoi upon reaching an objective level of spiritual evolution. In order to awaken from mortality, one must remember their spiritual origin and obtain an expanded perspective of the true self, the spirit within them. Until then, their soul will cycle into new lifetimes, with new mortal bodies, and having new experiences. Once enough experience has been gained, a soul will eventually awaken and return to their original origins. Lapoians, who are awakening from mortality, will resume their duty as either a guard or warrior. The experience of mortality and awakening not only contributes to creation, but substantially increases the abilities and perceptions of the individual.
You, Adrienne, are a mortal female. Mortal females are not originally from Lapoi, but rather a different celestial realm. Your unique energy has started to stand out from all the rest, and that is why I became so drawn to you.
He looked up from the hologram at me. I was intrigued and completely submerged in what he was talking about. I kept looking down at the hologram.
Artist: Really Slow Motion
Song: You Will Be This Legend
Me: What about the other realms? Are they just like ours?
Emalickel: Most all the realms are equal in power and status, but they all have their own agendas and purposes involving creation. In other words, not all the realms have the same story and goals as Lapoi. This is how God intended it, and we do not question. However, there are two realms, of the nine, who are ridden in their egos. They have become tyrannical and repressive. This has become a major concern among the rest of the Princedoms, as they must ensure the safety of the celestials and mortals within their realms. This is not of your concern, so I will move on from here.
Emalickel touched the hologram on the middle sphere.
Emalickel: Engulfing the Third Sphere is the Second Sphere. The Second Sphere hosts the Dominion, Virtue, and Power celestials. They oversee the Third Sphere. Much of what they do is unknown; however, it is known that the Dominion celestials receive orders from the Power and Virtue celestials. When these orders involve the Third Sphere, the Princedoms receive them from the Dominions, and then carry out the orders accordingly.
He continued speaking as he touched the outer sphere on the hologram image. It interacted with him.
Emalickel: The outer sphere is called the First Sphere. This is where the source of God exists. Alongside Him are the Seraphim, Cherubim, and Throne celestials. Even less is known about the duties of the celestials within the First Sphere. All we know is they oversee the Second and Third Spheres, and Thrones are the celestials who pass orders along to the Second Sphere per the direct orders of God. God oversees everything. He is the Ultimate, Supreme, Alpha-Being. He created celestials to work together in the process of helping carry out His will of existence across the Universe. He created creation for the experiences. That is what we are all doing in Him as conscious extensions of Him.
As he was talking, I felt myself falling deeply for Emalickel. He was so strong, intelligent, and confident. I was drawn closer to him by the minute. I wondered if he had ever been in love before. Could he feel love for me? How could he be allowed to fall in love with a mortal? Could he feel physical attraction towards me as I do him? If so, how would he express it? My mind continued to wander, but he broke my thoughts in clearing his throat and speaking aloud over my thoughts.
Emalickel: Shall we go see the other lands?
I looked over at him. I was confused why he didn’t attempt to answer my questions like he had so many times before. Was he avoiding the subject because he was uncertain, or did he just not feel love for me and felt awkward on the topic?
Emalickel looked away from me and focused his sights aside from me. It was apparent he was trying to avoid eye-contact. I didn’t understand. Was I not supposed to ask him these types of questions? I wished he would be straight-forward with me again.
Emalickel: The next closest land is 415 miles out. We can teleport there.
I stared at the side of Emalickel’s face. I could tell he was avoiding me.

Me: No, Emalickel. Let’s stay here for a moment.
He quickly turned towards me, as if startled at my reply. He stared at me for a moment before closing his eyes to take a deep breath followed by a gulp. He did not respond but lowered his head and nodded in agreement.
I continued.
Me: I’m starting to feel really attached to you. I’m confused because I don’t know if I’m supposed to have feelings for you, or if I’m allowed to, or if you are allowed to, or if you even feel the same way about me. But I’m desperate to know.
Emalickel sighed before answering.
Emalickel: You may always ask me anything. The reason I avoid your questions this time is because there is so much more you must first learn. I see it best not to answer your questions until you have a better understanding of everything else.
Me: But I just need to know if it’s even possible for you to feel anything for me. I won’t be able to focus on anything else until I have answers. If you don’t feel the same for me, I need to know so I can try to stop feeling so drawn to you. Please tell me, Emalickel… please. I need to know. I just must know now!
I was desperate. A tear fell from my right eye. Emalickel tilted his head to the side in disbelief. Looking somber, he watched the tear as it dropped down my cheek, until it fell from my face. His eyes moved back up to look at mine. He then tilted his head to the other side and said hesitantly.
Emalickel: Love between a celestial and a mortal is obtainable, but it is quite a complicated matter. Only while the mortal is in her spirit-form, on either the astral or celestial plane, can the two physically interact. And, yes, in the celestial plane we do physically express love in the same ways as mortals. It cannot happen on the mortal plane without severe punishment. So, to answer your questions—yes, it is possible for a celestial to feel desire for a mortal, and yes, we are allowed to have those feelings. However, we may not physically interact with mortals on their plane, unless God instructs us as He once did thousands of years ago. You and I have only physically interacted in the astral plane, when you were approaching a semi-sleep state, and in the celestial plane where we are now. So, we have abided by the regulations of interaction between mortal and celestial.
I needed more clarification.
Me: So, as long as you and I are here, on the celestial plane, we can do as we please?
A slight grin began growing on Emalickel’s face. He quickly scanned my body before letting his eyes toggle between mine. Then, he glanced down at my lips and gulped. His expression grew serious. He mumbled to himself.
Emalickel: Yes... I suppose we can.
Then he returned his eyes back up to mine. He toggled his sights from my eyes to my lips. His lips slightly parted as he gave them a quick lick with his tongue. I noticed he slowly began to lean in toward me. I leaned towards him. He continued to lean closer and closer.
My heart pounded.
He let his lips gently brush against mine; slowly, softly pressing them until every part of his lips touched to every part of mine. Then, he pressed more forcefully, each moment, more passionately than the time before. His lips were full and soft.
We became absorbed in our kiss. We both began breathing more heavily as our lips continued to dance. I could feel the breeze of warm air on my upper lip each time he breathed out from his nose.
My hands grazed his back. He moved his hand to hold the back of my head as he moved in so that his tongue met mine. He slowly maneuvered his head around making sure he got a taste of my mouth. His breath was cool and tasted like wintergreen.
Emalickel exhaled passionately. Both of his hands moved up to hold my head. Then they slid back down along my neck. The kiss continued to grow. He grabbed my arms and pulled my body into his to squeeze me firmly.
Suddenly, Emalickel pulled himself away from me and rested his forehead against mine while we both caught our breath. Then, he began shaking his head and turned away from me.
Emalickel: No.
Emalickel walked away. He sat down on the ground with his knees bent and his arms resting on his knees. He looked out at the landscape, pressing his lips together. He seemed anxious, as if a million thoughts were circulating through his mind.

The Brothers
Artist: Thomas Bergerson
Song: Immortal
Suddenly, I heard what sounded like a rocket in the sky. I heard a loud crash of the sound-barrier breaking followed by a rolling thunderous pitch. I looked up to see where the sound was coming from. I saw a glowing figure quickly descending from the sky.
Emalickel, still sitting on the ground, looked up and scanned the sky with his eyes. I heard him mumble to himself.
Emalickel: Thorenel.
Me: What?
This time he spoke a bit louder.
Emalickel: It is my brother, Thorenel. My brothers and I are strongly connected. Thorenel is coming to see you.
Me: You have brothers?
Emalickel: Yes. All the celestials of Lapoi are brothers as we share the same father, however, God created some of us from massive clusters of energy. From each cluster, a group of celestials were made who share the same molecular composition. My five brothers and I are physically related in this way. Our composition is made from molecules of the same source. Figuratively speaking, we have matching DNA.
Emalickel shook his head, stood up, and walked over to me. Placing his hands on my shoulders, he slightly smiled, but it was more of a forced smile.
Emalickel: They are all going to be hopelessly drawn to you.
At that, Thorenel landed. He landed with such force and speed, it made the ground tremble. He landed about 50-feet away in a kneeling position. His long blonde hair blew with the wind of his impact. Maintaining his kneeling position, he looked directly up at me and displayed a wide grin before winking at me.
The massive gust of wind, which followed his landing, continued to blow his hair and the surrounding land. When he stood up, he did so boldly, with his feet apart and his arms crossed at his chest. Like Emalickel, he stood at about seven feet tall and appeared to weigh about 350 pounds. He was wearing the same attire as Emalickel and exhibited the same bronzed, well-defined muscular body.
He and Emalickel had a lot of physical similarities except Thorenel had wavy blonde hair which flowed down to just past his shoulders. Thorenel’s face was slightly scruffy, and pieces of his hair fell in front of his eyes; but I could see that his eyes were glowing a piercing glacier-blue color.
Thorenel walked over to us. Everything turned into slow-motion as he walked. His strides were very masculine, and his arms guided his every stride. He never took his eyes from me the entire time he walked towards Emalickel. He and Emalickel grabbed each other’s opposite forearms like a still hand-shake.<

Appearing annoyed, Emalickel interrupted Thorenel’s impressive display. Emalickel sounded apathetic and disinterested.
Emalickel: Acknowledgements, Thorenel.
Thorenel responded to Emalickel in an obnoxiously happy tone. He, too, exhibited an English accent.
Thorenel: Brother! How goes things? Well with you, I hope?
Emalickel: We’re on the way to Dillectus.
Thorenel: But I have just arrived. Must you leave Terpetrus so soon?
Thorenel was looking at me. I noticed he quickly scanned my body from head to toe. He brought his eyes to mine in an attempt to disguise that he had just “checked me out.”
Thorenel: My brother, where are your manners? You have not introduced to me our ravishing guest.
Emalickel: Her name is Adrienne of Earth.
