Azazel: The Untold Story [UNDER MAJOR REVISION]

Angel Azazel

Beyond the skies and the universe, there's a place where angels and God himself reside. It is described to be the most beautiful place of all.

The said place is abundant with white and golden hues, adorned with blooming flowers and angels fly everywhere; a paradise indeed. Everything there shines brightly, so glamorous.

The staircase towards the magnificent gate is indescribable for it is beyond beautiful. There's a tree that bears plenty of fruits and fountain that has fresh and clean flowing water that anyone could drink.

The angels wear fabrics of vibrant colors and they shine so bright that no human could look directly without hurting their eyes. Trumpets can be heard everywhere, the sound of happiness and gloriousness enveloped the whole kingdom.

There are mansions built with marvelous stones that stood exquisitely beautiful. At the farthest part, a throne made of gold stood proudly at the very center, it is God's. His son sits at his right side while on the other side is the Holy Spirit. This kingdom is called HEAVEN.

"What will we call him, father?" Lucifer asked pertaining to the young and innocent angel roaming around the garden. He was standing before God's throne.

"We will call him Azazel." Lucifer smiled upon hearing the name.

Lucifer taught Azazel. The most beautiful angel looked after young Azazel and trained him to be great.

"Lucifer, are we all going to be Archangel like you?" The young Azazel asked Lucifer one fine day while they were sitting upon the blanket of green, green grass that covered the garden, the latter smiled and said, "Maybe. God is the one who chooses His Archangels."

Azazel returned the smile and felt determined to be as great as Lucifer. In his young mind a seed of dream to become an Archangel was planted. Someday, I will be one. Azazel thought.

Time flew fast and Azazel grew very clever and powerful. He started training by himself with the strong volition in his heart. His fighting skills surpassed the expectations and the Archangels admired him for that. He showed great potential, proved himself enough and followed every commands that God and his superiors gave him.

The Archangels believed that he will be one of them someday and they were all looking forward to it. Azazel continued his training and aside from his dream to be an Archangel, he also wanted to be a warrior angel. So, he studied the sacred knowledge of Heaven.

God saw his determination and He Himself knew that Azazel will be a great angel warrior and maybe an Archangel as well.

Until Azazel faced his final test, a test that would determine if he deserves to finally be ranked with the noble and powerful angels. Raphael accompanied him towards a path where his test awaits. He entered the dungeon alone right at the end of the path. He didn't know what was waiting for him inside but he was prepared to face it.

"I am not afraid of you, whoever may you be residing here in this dark dungeon," the angel said and in an instant tons of snakes made its way toward him. The snakes crawled up to his legs and made its way to his upper torso.

A figure of a man stood from a short distance just in front of him, and he was covered with fire. "The snakes will eventually kill you if you don't kill them first," he said to him, Azazel felt how tight the snakes were squeezing his body.

"Help me!" He said but the man on fire laughed at him. "I will help you in one condition," he said. Azazel looked at him with eyes filled of hope. "What is it? Tell me".

The man on fire suddenly appeared from behind and took him by surprise. "Worship me instead of your God. Stop believing in Him for He won't save you. You will not be an Archangel, you're just an ordinary angel".

Azazel eyes widen, he cannot believe what this man was saying about the Creator. "No! I will never turn my back to my Father! I believe in Him and in His mighty name I declare my freedom and safety! You cannot cause me harm for God is my shield and protector! Return to where you came from!"

A bolt of light strucked, the man on fire disappeared including the snakes and he was suddenly out of the dungeon. Azazel found himself standing in front of the other angels in God's kingdom.

"Praise to Azazel for showing his loyalty and bravery. He is truly powerful and noble, for that we honor him and he will be ranked with the good angels and most clever ones." The angels rejoiced with Azazel's victory.

Angel Azazel was very happy with all the praises he received.

Uriel approached him with a smile on his face, "You did great, Azazel. Our Almighty God is very happy and proud of what you did. You are now considered as a high rank and noble angel."

Azazel smiled back at the angel, he cannot believe the reward that God had given him. He presented himself to the Creator in person to show his sincerest gratitude for Him.

"Father, it is me, Azazel. Thank You for Your gift. I am so honored and grateful to receive the fruit of my harships from You." The angel said to God in glee.

The Father spoke in a beautiful and powerful tone of voice, "Azazel, you have shown me your worth and loyalty. You deserve what I gave you. I hope you will not change or forget your humble beginning".

Azazel gave his word and happily joined the other angels.

When he returned, the Archangels were all together, talking about the greatness of God and His plan to create human beings. Azazel heard them and cannot believe with what he discovered. He approached them and tried to hear more of this plan.

Gabriel said, "The world will have more life once there are humans to appreciate the beauty of it." He could not believe what he was hearing but decided to keep his silence and listen instead of complaining.

"You are right, Gabriel. God truly knows what's best for the world he created." Michael chipped in. Azazel quietly left them as they continue with their discussion.

"I cannot accept this! Humans? They have no place here on Earth," he said with distaste and hate.

Little did he know God has always been watching and listening to them.
