CHAPTER 1

The Great Out-Casting

 

 

 

Tiel stood in line along with countless other Angels, who like himself, just could not at this time, side with God, for the Great War had begun as Lucifer and his rising armies against the Lord, were being kicked out from Heaven. Banished, never to return. They had gone past the point of no return the moment they defied God for the sake of Lucifer's great pride.

Tiel had been such good friends too. Him and Lucifer were tight. Tiel was in high command of the garrison known as the Matrix. He was put in charge. He was in fact the Arch Angel Castiel. And he and Lucifer were more than comrades. Brothers by the design of creation.

But it was Lucifer who had revolted first. Tiel just could not bring himself to side with Lucifer. He had been out of line this time.

When Tiel tried to get Lucifer to see reason to his errors and to repent and just tell God he was sorry, instead Lucifer knocked his fist hard across Tiel's face sending the shocked Angel to the marbled floor. Tiel was deeply hurt by his friend’s unjust reaction towards him. Tiel had never been struck before.

“I'm not joining you! You have to stop doing this before you get yourself banished!” Tiel tried to tell him but Lucifer just would not listen.

Lucifer turned and looked at him before leaving the Palace. He reached out his hand. “Tiel, I hold no ill feelings towards you. Come with me and you can rule by my side in a whole new kingdom even better than this,” he told him.

Tiel got up off the hard floor. Had never realized just how hard marble was. He rubbed his still sore jaw. He had never experienced pain before. “No. I will not forsake our Father,” he made clear.

“Castiel, he is being too unfair, and I can no longer call Him my Father, for He is not to me any longer,” Lucifer told him.

Tiel looked at him so hurt. Oh, just by those mere words Cast felt a new pain serge inside his heart, for he had never experienced someone's remarks against the Father in a negative manner before.

“You just need to go talk with Him and stop with this foolish protesting,” Tiel told him then. But Lucifer would not listen.

His fury over this whole thing seemed to climb to an even higher climate now. “Then stay with him, you FOOL!” blared the angel who had been the most beautiful angel in all of creation, but now only poison came from his mouth. It went straight to Tiel's core. Tiel saw there was no reasoning with him. His head was too thick of vain thoughts.

So, Lucifer was thrown out of Heaven. Tiel watched. Cetera came over to him. He saw how hurt Tiel looked over this. He knew this was permanent and that they would never be seeing their con-rad again.

Castiel and Cetera were both taken aback and shaken to their very cores by the fierce treatment that Lucifer and the others, who would remain faithful to their friend, had received from the Word of God. For it was by His Authority that they had to leave. Tiel saw an anger though, behind the Word's eyes he had never seen before.

“All who will remain on the Lord's side, come into the Throne Room at once!” the Word ordered. Tiel felt his knees knocking at the thundering sound of the Word's Voice. He could not bring himself to enter.

 

“Castiel, we have got to go in there,” Cetera told him. Flanagan now joined them. Like a puppet Tiel found himself marching along with the others flowing into the Great Throne Room of the Lord.

“No, I can't bow before Him and give Him my service,” Flanagan spoke. Tiel stopped and just looked at him dumbfounded. “Flan, not you too. I can't lose you too!” he said. It was just all too much. Tiel sunk to the floor now with his hands over his head. He was developing a pain there. He had never experienced this discomfort before. Cetera felt for him. Flanagan too now ran over to him and they both bent down to try to help him.

“Life is ruined. It will never be the same again here,” Tiel told them as tears now poured from his eyes. Annie now ran up to them. They embraced.

“Come on Flan, we will all walk in there together and worship the One who gave us life,” Tiel said. He smiled and took Annie's hand. She smiled back. Tiel reached out his other hand toward Flanagan now but he would not take it. Tiel frowned. “Flan,” he warned.

“No. I said no. I just can't,” he spoke. Another high Arch Angel then approached seeing the commotion. “If you cannot enter to worship God, then you cannot stay in Heaven,” Nanian told them firmly but with kindness.

“Oh, he's going inside. Come on Flan,” Tiel said getting mad. But Flanagan would not budge.

“I Cannot serve Him and I don't think I will be able to. His firm Authority over this matter is why Lucifer has become so stubborn and I do not blame him, “ Flanagan said.

Tiel pulled him to the side. “Lucifer has made his decision, Flan, not to serve the Lord or His Word any longer. I disagree with what has gone down but who am I to question God,” Tiel said.

“That's just it Tiel, come on buddy, something is very wrong here,” Flanagan tried to get him to see. Annie just looked at Flan then back to Tiel. Surely, he wouldn't listen to him? Flanagan was part of Tiel's garrison but he wasn't high up in command. Not like Castiel. Cetera himself was an Arch Angel in training. But he guessed it was all ruined now.

So, he too came over. “I can't go in there either, Tiel,” he said. Tiel shot him a sharp look. Maybe his boys were right. They had been so loyal to God first, and to him.

Tiel himself had just too many questions then. “Ok, so where do angels go if they cannot go in there?” he asked Nanian now.

“You'll have to be relocated on a colony world. You will be stripped of most of your powers and abilities. I will warn you,” Nanian said and looked Tiel right into his blue eyes. “You will be vulnerable once there. You will age. If you get sick or injured you will not be able to regenerate. If you fall into death you will never have hope to return,” he told him.

That just made Flanagan even more steamed. “There. You think that's fair Castiel!” he blared.

That was disturbing to Tiel even, to say the least. Death was not a known term to the Angels. The Word had told Lucifer that once he was banned from Heaven, he could never return. Not ever and that he would know what death was.

“Tiel no! Do not listen to him! Get back in line! Go worship God at once and repent for even thinking of leaving,” Annie made clear. Tiel looked at his boys. He saw terror and fear on their faces. They didn't deserve being made to leave and changed, all because they just didn't understand. He didn't understand!

He turned to Nanian. “Can't they just go someplace quiet for a while, to think. I need to think too,” he told him.

“No Tiel. I am sorry but those are the orders from God the Father Himself. All Angels who just cannot decide must be placed in line over there to await instructions on which colony to be placed on.”

Tiel looked at his boys. At Flanagan. “Flan, that does not sound satisfactory to me. Let's just go into the Throne Room and get it over with. Once we do we are promised that after we have bowed and given the Word our allegiance, something happens and we will never, no matter what happens in the future, be cast away from God again. We will be accepted. I don't understand it all now but it is said we will understand this better then. But only after we bow and decide to stay with Him,” Tiel said.

“No. I refuse to do it on these terms,” Flanagan said. Tiel moaned within himself.

He looked at Cetera. “I feel the same way,” he said. Tiel knew these angels were not as experienced as he was. He knew, just had this feeling that, if he did not go with them, he'd never see them again. So, he made his choice.

He turned to Nanian. “Ok, I guess the decision is made. I'll go with them and help them to see so we can soon return back.”

Nanian felt just terrible. Tiel had such a big heart. He always had. He hoped one-day Flanagan and Cetera would realize the sacrifice of love that Tiel had just made.

“No! Tiel, no!” Annie begged throwing herself into his arms. He hugged her tight. “I have to go with them. I'll
