The Quest for Paradise - Page 64/94

"They are trespassers and defilers of My established order. They have no power, but what I at first gave them and My words do not pass away. Even so let every man have dominion over his household, even as I have purposed for it to be. They have no authority here, because they have been given no authority, but instead they have come as thieves in the night seeking to destroy that which is good. Know ye not that one day you shall judge angels?"

My vision was blurred, but I watched through the legs of the man who had saved me from a defilement worse than death, as the two fallen beings looked with fear upon the man who had laid ahold upon them and overcome them with ease. It was hard to keep my eyes open as what felt like shock began to seize ahold of my body and yet it was my fervent hope that the man destroyed my enemies without quarter.

Tolak with wrathful fervor burst out with, "Is it even now as in the days of old that you castoffs of your heavenly kind have thought so highly of yourselves as to think to defile the women of my people with the corruption of your fallen seed in order to bear forth even more monsters than that already plague these lands since times of old? Members of your kind were cursed once for this and even now do I do so again!"

"She is not of your people!" One said.

"We have prior claim!" The other said, as they both sang out in desperation.

"You have no justified claim upon the daughters of men unless men have given them over to you!" Tolak stormed back with in rage.

The one fallen messenger sneered triumphantly and seemed to increase in strength as he said, "And we have such a lawful claim as her father gave us dominion in return for what advancements in position of authority we bestowed upon him."

Tolak stepped forward to the surprise of the resurgent fallen angel's claim of dominion and gripped the fallen messenger once more by the throat. Now quaking beneath the grip of Tolak's hand about his throat he heard the man of the house, whose home he had entered without authority being given to him to do so, say, "She is no longer under her father's covering! She is mine and I condemn you to the Creator's judgment reserved for those of your order who have transgressed and done that which you were forbidden to do! Now I cast you out by the authority that has been given to me by my God never to return!"
