STARS

*The beginning of what? Of the world or of humanity? Well it's none of these. You will find out more than you bargained for as you read on. Let this fill your minds with imaginations that can make you run mad with even more stories to tell.* *It's fiction yes. But make it real.* It's like there is nothing like war in these parts. Just peace and tranquility reigning in every part of this bright system. That's all I think about. I want war, death, something interesting or maybe a great story to talk about after its occurrence but it seems my mind is decieving me because we as the guardians or angels of the head of the Gods of the Milky way ( a rather odd name) are trained either as gifted singers, warriors or messengers who are meant to serve our great leader till the end. So this thought of war should not be in my head even as the head of the great singers. "Sir Voz. Sir Voz" shouted an angel of the message realm.  "Yes Isa what is it?" I said rather annoyed. For my thoughts should be left undisturbed until I reach a satisfying conclusion. "You are needed by the council." He said. Rushing down the tower where I rest, I quickly remembered that the new year is two months from now and we as the Solar Domain are to perform a ceremony for other domains. To understand what these domains are all about is a great task. But I find it easy to explain it to other angels who are still learning their duties here in Heaven. Well no one knows who created our great leader or the leaders of the other six domains in the Milky way galaxy. You are not even allowed to ask such questions. Only the leaders know of their origin. This galaxy we are in contains so many stars. Some are dying, others are being created right now but there are seven which are in good form right now. Gods are in charge of these domains which are made up of different stars surrounded by worlds and a Heaven to control the affairs of the domains. So each domain has it's Heaven. But guess what. Our God ( Alpha by name) is the leader of all other gods in their different Domains. But still they operate democratically. The seven Domains and their Gods are; the Solar Domain where the great leader dwells. He is as old as time as we know and is the great leader because the system he created contains earth which has life unlike other systems. Best of all we have "man" who is the best creation ever. No other Domain has this form of excellence in creation. Some Gods are in the process of making many other systems at once and when it doesn't reach their standards they find pleasure in destroying their creation slowly but bitterly. That's why there can be so many systems under one Domain. But our Domain has just one system which is perfect. Domains are named after the major system there control. The second Domain is called Polaris ruled by Ceph. Third is Sirius ruled by Canis. Fourth is Rigel ruled by Orionis. Fifth is Vega ruled by the beatiful Lyra. Sixth is Pleiades ruled by another Goddess Taurus. Then seventh is Antares ruled by Scorpii. These Gods are all siblings who have their inheritances carved out with a common agreement not to fight each other. But to join forces if there is any kind of uprising from any other part of the endless universe. Alpha is the best God as we know. Brighter than all stars, we don't have night because he shines for us all. But when it's time to meet with him he reduces this light.  Well in our Heaven everything's just perfect. Constructions made of gold, no dirts, very obedient angels. Come to think of the angels, I as Voz am the head of all singers, the mighty Michael is the head of the heavenly military host and Gabriel is the head of all messangers. We all have our jobs to do. But to tell you the truth I love Michael's and Gabriel's work more because they always leave Heaven to perform their work. Michael with his host usually go down to earth to prevent resistances by the Primes or Overseers of the elements or they go outside our Domain to help secure the borders of the galaxy. Gabriel leaves Heaven with some other messangers to deliver various messages to other domains. I'm all but contented with my destiny. But sometimes I wish to have more. I wish to find out how this "man" (who's been kept to take care of a garden) works and how other Domains are. But even I as a head I'm kept in total confinement. There's totally nothing I could do. But... "Voz...Voz...Voz..." Called out Gabriel. "Yes!" I answered with an obvious frown on my face. "Alpha needs your urgent audience. It's for your own good. I'm certain." "I'm obviously on my way as you can see." "Then hurry. Believe my words as I say that you will rejoice greatly after today's encounter with Alpha." Said Gabriel with a wide smile. "What's going on?" I quickly asked.  No answers came forth as I my self flew to the great Throne room. Right at the entrance, Michael and some well known warriors welcomed me. "Alpha's waiting" Michael said with a proud look. "Michael my good friend...what's happening?" "Nothing much. Hahaha. Just go in. No need to be frightened". In this great room I'm always wowed because it never ceases to amaze me. So much beauty and elegance in one place. Four walls trapping the most beautiful place in the universe as I was told by those who have had the chance of exploration. Everywhere shining with treasures, gold and stones you can't find in any other place. With more than thirty steps from the mighty door is where the twenty four elders decide on many issues on a sacred round table right in front of the amazing throne of the Alpha which is elevated from level ground and is a sight to behold. The Alpha has a son from His loins. Yes He does. Really scarce most times. Even during decisive meetings. But He was present. Which means this meeting is very important. But why I'm I here? I thought to myself. "Voz" with a mighty voice that can make mountains flee said the Alpha. "Yes my God" I said trembling with my knees to the golden floor and my face looking down. For His glory was just too much. Alpha continued. "You have been one of my most faithful servants. But one thing that sets you apart from all the rest is your ability. Your ability to move me. Your ability to make me stand on my feet and feel all I have made. That they and Me are all wondrous. The praises and adoration you and your sub angels give me are without measure what I really love every moment. When you sing to me every day my heart melts and I would do wonders at that moment for lots of joy. This is the reason why I, my son, the council and your colleagues Michael and Gabriel have decided to make you the next in command after I and my son. You will be filled with more power to be a singer, warrior, messanger and much more. You will also be the angel of light. The second light in Heaven after me. You will be lifted higher than all except from I and my son. But you will sing even more and better. Your name will be changed from Voz to Lucifer which means angel of light". With much bliss. More than happiness. More than pleasure in me I said. "I'm overjoyed" I continued. "I thank you Jehovah. Owner of everything. No one's like you. Always there for your loyal subjects..." with the sweetest melody ever sung and with tears dripping from my unworthy eyes. My face turned red and I couldn't ever foretell that this would be my lot. Now I could testify that Jehovah is a God that no one can know the thoughts of His heart and His next move. But still there's nothing I could do. I just layed down there praising and worshiping, drowning in my tears. Then Alpha gathered all Angels and the council and told them of my promotion. There was joy everywhere. In my resting room waiting for my next presentation to Alpha I began to think. "I. second in command. I. Lucifer. Hmmm. Thank you God. You have taken me to a height that I will ever cherish".  But then this came as I slept; A dream I can never forget. I was sitting on the throne. The great throne with the hosts of Heaven bowing to me. It was wondrous. Then I looked to see where Jehovah was or His son. But I couldn't find them. Maybe probably in the deep dungeons still empty at that time. I woke up. Supposed to be frightened right? How could I overthrow God and be God. Or did He promote me again. But no iota of fright was in me. I was proud. Prouder than ever. Was this me? Was this what I wanted? Was this my destiny? To sit on that eye catching throne. "No!" I said loudly. "That's an abomination" I said. I'm a servant to God. I can't rebel.  I changed my thoughts as I hurried to fly to the throne room to minister. These wrong thoughts would just kill me.
