Keila was sitting under the Lotus tree in the divine palace courtyard. Her mind had been a complete emotional mess earlier in the day, and it was now in perfect peace, as she knew what she needed to do. She contacted Samael.
Keila:
- Samael, new directions: Turn off Metatron’s life support and let him die; then freeze his body cryogenically.
Samael:
- That’s the direct opposite to what you ordered before?
Keila:
- I know. Does that bother you, Samael?
Samael:
- Not at all Keila; I am glad you listened to my advice.
Keila:
- All good. Dismissed Samael.
Keila leaned back and sensed how Metatron’s signal became weaker and weaker until he perished. Keila sighed. It was painful sensing Metatron die, but letting him die now was the best way to save him later. Although Keila felt at peace, she riled herself up for a show. It was time to lure Adina into a trap. She managed to find Adina’s signal in the system and contacted her.
Keila:
- Adina, you b***h!
- Metatron is dead because of you!
Adina:
- I know; I sensed it. It hurts to lose someone you love, does it not?
Keila:
- Yes.
- Let’s settle this, you and me. Let’s meet up and determine once and for all who is worthy of ruling Eden.
Adina:
- And why would I agree to meet you?
Keila:
- Because you want me dead as much as I want you dead. Besides, what else are you going to do, blind and stuck in the tunnels underground?
Adina considered her options. She was unsure whether grief had driven Keila insane or if she had an ace up her sleeve. But Regardless, Adina needed to kill Keila quickly as Keila had all the trump on hand. Keila had an advanced medical bay and unlimited food and resources while Adina had no access to medical treatment and was confined in the tunnels with limited sustenance that was hard to find in her blinded situation. Adina made up her mind. She would meet with Keila in the catacombs. From proximity, her psionic powers would be stronger, and she would have no trouble blasting Keila out of existence. With Keila dead, it was an easy task to take control of the Angels, have them turn off the orbital lasers targeting her, and elevate her to become the God-queen of Eden.
Adina finally spoke:
- Agreed. Meet me at the tunnel entrance to the southwest of Mount Sinai. Come alone and unarmed. See you in 12 hours.
Keila:
- See you then. Prepare to die, Adina!
