Lucifer gazed toward the Great Mountain of the North. He saw God's light streaming down the mountain. He turned toward a nearby mirror as he heard someone approach. He smiled as he studied himself. His name meant Light Bearer or the Star of the Morning. His eyes were blue gray and his hair shone in the sun as he wore his white cloak.
" My lord".
He turned to see his chief servant Larus. " Yes Larus".
" Michael is here to see you".
" I will talk to him".
" Yes my lord".
Lucifer followed the sevant through the beautiful mansion. Beautiful tapestries and mirrors filled the mansion and the light from the Great Mountain lit up the rooms. They walked into a chamber where the archangel was waiting for him.
" My dear brother" Lucifer said with a sly smile. " What a pleasant surprise".
The archangel was strong and built like a warrior. He had long brown hair, deep green eyes and carried a jewel encrusted sword. He was Captain of the Lord's Host and commanded respect.
" Lucifer, I'm here on official business" he said with a serious look as he stared at the chief lord over worship. " You and I need to plan a ceremony for the installation of a new archangel".
" A new archangel so soon after you achieved that positon". He gave his brother a strange grin. " Who is getting the honor this time?".
" Gabriel is becoming an archangel and becoming the Chief Messenger to the Kingdom".
After the planning session was over and Michael was on his way back home, he could sense a little bit of resentment and jealousy in his brother.
