\u201cWow\u201d, Lord Azazel gently touched his wife\u2019s forehead. \u201cYou\u2019re amazing\u201d.<\/p>\n
She blushed and shivered slightly as she took in his praise. The tiara melted into her own body and was a part of her now; only the golden jewel remained visible on her brow, as a dot of light. It was no mystery what it did; essentially, it was a mixture of a Title, a Jewel and a blessing by both Shiva and Shakti, and it both was and wasn\u2019t a part of her soul itself, rather than being an ornament or a gadget. It was hard to describe \u2013 the way her former Title as the worshipper of Lakshmi both was and wasn\u2019t a part of her soul. It was something between an order of merit, a job and a diploma, but deeper. She was The Mind of God, The Goddess of Wisdom, Self-Revelation of the Absolute, Daughter of Lakshmi; Lady Karuna. That\u2019s what everybody instantly knew, the first they saw her, because her Titles and her name communicated themselves. Her soul-type was \u201cPerson of God\u201d. That, too, was instantly communicated, together with her gender: \u201cFemale\u201d. All of that was so overwhelming, she wanted to crawl into Zee\u2019s shirt pocket and hide there; if the Six had some internal ranking, she would fight tooth and nail for the last spot.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd all five of us would arm-wrestle you for it, you know\u201d, Lord Azazel read her mind.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would lose\u201d, she stuck out her tongue.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why\u201d, he smiled and kissed the tip of her tongue, and she giggled.<\/p>\n
As a Jewel, that thing allowed her to access power that was so terrible and awesome, it made her really consider morphing into a small mouse and hiding in Zee\u2019s pocket. She felt that Lady Shakti gave her a power over all of reality, the power that should only rest in the hands of Wisdom, and it was such an honour that she felt completely mortified from the responsibility and all other implications. Basically, she could wield and assert the Throne of God. She could create, destroy and change worlds. She whined into Azazel\u2019s neck and held him more tightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cReady to kick some ass?\u201d, he grinned.<\/p>\n
\u201cReady to watch you<\/i> kick some ass, and applaud your awesome victory\u201d, she giggled.<\/p>\n
\u201cSure\u201d, he kissed her nose. \u201cLet\u2019s warn some people\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
Blade of Discernment, Self-Revelation of the Absolute, Son of Shiva; Lord Azazel; Person of God, Male, opened a portal to the astral nursery and observed his surroundings, his wife by his side. He spent eons there, up until mere days ago, and yet it looked like a foreign, desolate wasteland to him now, merely because there wasn\u2019t anyone there he truly had anything in common with. There were multiple bigger clouds of astral matter nearby, though, and closing to their position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s those motherfucking Gods again\u201d, a demon exclaimed, taking out a flaming sword. \u201cLet\u2019s have some fun\u201d, he grinned at the others.<\/p>\n
\u201cWatch it, Baal\u201d, Mephisto warned him. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to get ahead of ourselves here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t give a shit, Muffin\u201d, Baal growled. \u201cThose bastards killed Azazel without any reason or provocation. I invoke my right of vengeance\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cPut that toothpick away before you hurt yourself, Baal\u201d, the male God addressed him with a grin. \u201cI would recommend, for your safety, wellbeing and continued existence among the living, that you shut the fuck up, sit here and use words to address your griefs, lest thy arse take the room temperature challenge\u201d, the God pointed at the suddenly apparent sofa across a coffee table and another sofa where he and the girl now sat.<\/p>\n
The demon grudgingly accepted, now morphed to humanoid himself. \u201cI accept only because you\u2019re not Shiva, because that one killed my friend without provocation\u201d, he gruffed. \u201cWho are you, and how do you know my name?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI know I look different now, and not just that, but I actually am different, yet strangely I\u2019m still the same person, as far as continuity of Self and memories goes. I am, however, different in my qualities and nature. Take a look into me and identify me with your astral sight, before I grow bored with your shit\u201d, Azazel prodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cHell, damnation and holy fucking shit. Azazel?\u201d, the demon exclaimed in consternation. \u201cHow the fuck? Is that some sort of a trick?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, of course it\u2019s a trick, a God brought his wife to this shithole to pull a prank on your sorry arse because we apparently have nothing better to do, bitch\u201d, Azazel reverted to demonic vernacular to put the demon at ease. \u201cOf course it\u2019s me\u201d.<\/p>\n
The demon got his senses together somewhat, and realised that he actually saw the general flavour of mind that he used to recognise as his, apparently not deceased, friend. \u201cHow the fuck? Perkele and Asmodeus saw you sit with Shiva, talk for a while, and then you transformed into bright light and vanished. We thought he killed your ass dead\u201d, Baal exclaimed, joined by Mephisto and a few others. \u201cPerson of God, Lord Azazel? What the actual fuck, man? And who\u2019s the girl?\u201d, he exclaimed in shock.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if you sorry motherfuckers actually bothered to check your facts before getting all riled up over nothing, you\u2019d have asked someone first, and they\u2019d have told you that I indeed went to talk to Lord Shiva, because I got so sick talking to that retard dumbass, Santa Cucumber or whatever he calls his bitch ass, that I decided to ask a God for actual knowledge and guidance, because I was so incredibly done listening to insane assholes. The God didn\u2019t kill me, contrary to public opinion; we sat down, and he explained all sorts of things to me, including secrets of Creation, nature of souls and their evolution, and so on. In fact, I was so incredibly impressed with him, that my soul-structure changed, and as that happened I was transported from this world, to a heaven where the ascended souls live. There, I met my wife Kay, who is here with me now, and we then talked to the Gods some more, and proceeded to meditate until we achieved apotheosis ourselves. That\u2019s the short of it. So no, he didn\u2019t kill me; in fact he saved me, guided me, helped me in all sorts of ways, and I consider him my Father in every meaningful sense\u201d, he concluded, as Kay tried to contain her giggles and keep her dignity intact, succeeding almost completely.<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly fucking shit, man. Your ass got adopted by a God, and you God now? And married another God chick? Person of God, Lady Karuna? You made it, man. Fuck!\u201d, the demon scratched his head.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can say that again. However, I hear that you made quite a commotion over the hearsay, so I wanted to set the record straight. Like, this is your captain speaking, please calm the fuck down, remain seated and listen to the fucking flight attendant. Nothing\u2019s going on, at least nothing bad. Lots of good stuff sure going on\u201d, Azazel grinned, squeezing Kay\u2019s hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cWow wow wow, time out please\u201d, Mephisto made a T sign with his hands. \u201cYou say you ascended to some other world after your soul-structure got upgraded? Is that what happens when other souls brighten up and disappear? They not dead?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCompletely and utterly not dead\u201d, Azazel nodded. \u201cIn fact, this place looks much more like death than life, compared to the other one. However, no assholes or bullshitters allowed\u201d, he pointed at the demons and the big white astral souls preoccupied with looking spiritual. \u201cThere\u2019s actual qualification involved, and the name of the game is size and purity. You all have plenty of size, but no purity, so no go, unless you get your shit together and change your fucking ways\u201d, he explained seriously.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow did you come back here, then, and why?\u201d, enquired Baal.<\/p>\n
\u201cEasy, I opened a portal between worlds. Both my wife and I can do that now. And why, well, that\u2019s also easy. I heard you folks went up in arms and made a riot over me supposedly getting killed, when I didn\u2019t, so I wanted to get your facts straight. Nobody got killed; in fact I got adopted by a God and married to a Goddess, so I\u2019m living a good life now, as you can see, so you all folks can calm the fuck down\u201d, he laughed.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way you Azazel. He black!\u201d, one demon exclaimed incredulously.<\/p>\n
Azazel grinned, morphed into a terrible black cloud of frightening density and disposition. \u201cIs I black enough for you now, bitch motherfucker?\u201d, a menacing, terrible voice sounded from it, making all the demons wince, and the previously incredulous demon made himself very inconspicuous and small, whining in terror as yellow liquid pooled under him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThought so\u201d, Azazel morphed back to his humanoid form and grinned, waving a hand to clean up the mess.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, who wants to know how the world actually works, where the souls actually come from, how they ascend, and what\u2019s the actual purpose of life?\u201d, he enquired with his characteristic smile.<\/p>\n
\u2026<\/p>\n
\u201cI love how you used your history with them and knowledge of their ways to put them at ease, my love\u201d, Kay smiled at her husband and kissed his hand. \u201cYou reached out towards them, spoke their language, made yourself comfortably familiar, and then completely dismantled that whole uprising and circus\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope I didn\u2019t startle you with that demon talk, sweetheart?\u201d, he smiled.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all; I could see exactly what you were doing and why, because I\u2019m in your heart and I know what\u2019s in there\u201d, she smiled blissfully.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am relieved\u201d, he laughed. \u201cSo, another round?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cBlue sheep?\u201d, she asked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat sounds like a Silicon Valley startup, but yes\u201d, he smiled, took his wife\u2019s hand and opened another portal.<\/p>\n
