Chapter 16
---------------
After the whole commotion, the panel of judges was very angry.
"What do we do now? As we all saw, they clearly knew when we entered their territory. Although they did not openly confront us then, they rather accepted us into their city until Adam had to attack their land! Anyway, I've had my fill for the day, I'm going home" Sarah said angrily.
After she left, everyone also followed and went to their own estates.

Upon arriving home, Almata was tired. So, he went into his room and slept.
The following day, Micheal, his son, came into Almata's office to speak with him.
BANG! The front door of Almata's office was banged open.
"Father, we need to talk, please. It's important, it's about Job." Micheal said with urgency.
"Alright, what is it this time? Damn Demons, I hope the poor child isn't in trouble. If so, send a legion of warrior angels to look for him!" Almata replied quickly as he searched around his armory for his sword.
"Rest assured, he is not in trouble this time. However, what I came to talk to you about is no less important than if he was really in trouble" Micheal said.
Relieved, Almata sat down on a nearby chair to hear what Micheal had to say. "Okay, so what is it? What do you want to talk about then?" Almata said inquisitively
"Job came to me two days ago and made a marriage offer to me. He said he was in love with this human, Natalie, and expresses his undying yearn to marry her." Micheal said as he exhaled.
"A human! Where is he, call him for me!"Almata shouted angrily.
After seeing the enraged look on Almata's face, Micheal sent one of the guards outside the room to call Job.
30 minutes later, Job arrived in the room. Confused as to why his grandfather called him, he became a little suspicious. Seeing his father in the room, Job had a faint idea of the reason his grandfather called him. However, he didn't wish to jump to conclusions. So, he decided to be modest.
"Grandfather, good morning. How's your night?" Job asked kindly as he bowed to greet his father and grandfather.
"It was good. However, I will not kick horses this time around. Job, of all the beautiful angels here, in Heaven. You choose a human to marry? Why?" Almata asked with great concern.
"I know you are disappointed in me. As the prince of the Angel race, I ought to marry an angel. However, during one of my explorations...I met a girl, Natalie. She is unlike any of the female angels here in Heaven. Although she is of no stature, she is still charming in her own way. Her personality is different. She is free to explore and be herself around me. She wasn't even awkward when she learned I was the prince of the Angel race! I love everything about her, and because she is a human, doesn't mean she should be treated differently or seen differently. At least, she is not a Nephilim." Job said confidently as he stood his ground to defend his beloved.
Hearing the words of Job, Almata was at loss. As he feared, their love may be stronger than he had ever expected. This event caused him to feel sad in his heart because he knew he couldn't allow Job to marry a human. All the other angels would lose respect for him and his family.
After a brief period of silence, Almata finally spoke. "Sorry, but I don't accept his proposal. You must understand, If you marry her, people will talk bad about you guys. Even worse, when you guys have children, they may plot to kill them. I am doing this for your own good, and for hers. You guys are forbidden to marry by both your father and me."

Upon hearing his grandfather's words, Job got furious! Fist clenched tightly, he greeted his teeth and bowed. Without waiting for anyone to say any other thing, he bowed and quickly left the room.

That night, Job left the Estate of Heaven.
"They don't want me to be happy, then, I'll leave them to be happy without me. As for me, I will go and be with my love, Natalie. We will be happy together and get married. We will have beautiful children who will grow up to be successful people in the galaxy one day. Just watch and see" Job said to himself as he was flying to be with Natalie.
---
Shortly after, Job was finally reunited with Natalie. Looking at her, Job felt accomplished. He never once regretted leaving his family and royal responsibilities to be with Natalie.
Natalie was a medium-sized woman. She had warm beautiful amber eyes with black silky hair. She wore a beautiful blue dress that highlighted all her natural busty curves. On her right hand, there was a beautiful Zircon ring.
Still locked unto Natalie, Job noticed a baby bump! Seeing this, he was taken back in shock, fear, and regret. If he agreed to leave Natalie, then he would have also abandoned his own Child! Aye! What type of father would he be then? One that can't protect and forfeit for his own family? Thinking about this, Job wrapped his hands around Natalie and kissed her deeply. He hugged her tenderly and whispered some things in her ears.
"I love you," He said. "I'll never let anything happen to you. I promise to give my life to you. To be there with you in hades and paradise. To protect you from the rain, and thunderstorms. I will be whoever you want me to be, just you name it. I love you so much." He said once more.
"Job...are you okay? Why are you saying all of these sweet things" Natalie said in shock.
Ignoring Natalie's words, Job continued, "Marry me, Natalie." Job said as he knelt down on his knees, still looking at Natalie as he held her hands warmly.
"Natalie, will you do me the honor of loving you? of being your husband? Will you marry me, Natalie" Job said as he looked warmly at Natalie.
Still in shock, Natalie was filled with mixed emotions. She never expected Job's sudden proposal. All she could do was just look at Job who was still kneeling in front of her.
Seeing her hesitation, Job dropped the pretense as he softly held Natalie's baby bump and kissed it.
This act caused Natalie to cry heavily. She didn't know how to tell Job that she was pregnant for him, so she decided to keep her pregnancy secret. Now that she is fully aware that Job knows, she didn't hesitate anymore.
"Yes, Job. Yes, I will marry you" Natalie said as she cried heavily. It was her worst fear to lose Job and have her child be fatherless. She knew that it was almost impossible for her and Job to get married because Job was the crowned prince of the angel race. After all, she was only a poor young woman who caught the attention of a prince accidentally. Only for them to talk for a night, they both fell in love with each other after that. She knew very well, that she had everything to lose and that Job had very little at stake. This is why she was extremely hesitant to accept Job's proposal.

3 months later,
Job and Natalie were happily married. Job had never returned to the Kingdom of Heaven after he left. They moved to another planet called Theia. It was 4 suns away from Shekinna. This way, no one will easily find them. Plus, even if they did, it would take a very long time before anyone does. Theia was a medium-sized planet in the planetary system of the golden sun, Sol. This planet was nothing like Shekinna.
The planet of Theia was very small compared to Shekinna. For a medium-sized planet, it was extremely populated. All sorts of people from all walks of life and backgrounds were found here. On this planet, there were only a handful of dynasties. Barely any major sect, or clan were found here. It could be said that this planet belonged strictly to the average financially stable families.
Unlike the others, Natalie and Job lived in a decent story building. On the outside, there were two neatly made gardens that had water fountains in the middle of each garden. In the middle, there was a path leading to the front door of the house.
Inside, there was a big event going on. Natalie was about to give birth!
On her bed, Natalie was assisted by her maidens as they were helping her deliver.
"Push, push," one of the maidens said as they looked at the tired Natalie
-----
4 hours later,
Natalie gave birth to a baby boy!
Job, who was standing next to Natalie, was very happy.
"What should we name him?" Natalie asked as she looked at her baby boy in her arms.
"Let's call him Gabriel" Job suggested as he kissed Natalie's head
"Gabriel, I like it," Natalie said.
Suddenly, there was a great wonder! As Gabriel was being brought out, his deity was revealed! Gabriel was covered in a rainbow-like glory! A shadow then came out of him as it shot straight up to the sky.
BOOM! The whole atmosphere started shaking. The entire atmosphere became heavy as an extremely huge pillar of light covered the whole house as it shot through the sky!
Even in the entire universe, there was a wonderful happening. All the 7 major suns and moons of the entire universe lined up in a straight line towards the planet, Theia! After that, several pillars of rainbow-like glory shot up from Theia and crossed through all the suns and moons!
After that, there was a huge explosion! The shock wave was so huge, it could destroy almost anything in its path! After the shock wave passed, a whole new constellation of stars was created! These stars were shining so bright that they showed an image. It showed a person. The person was huge! He looked like an angel. On his head, was a large set of horns that had a crown of holy essence round it. On his back, were two pairs of wings. The first pair were angelic wings, and the second pair were demonic wings! This person looked supreme above all creation. In his right hand, he held a ball of pure holy essence. In his left hand, he held a ball of raging hades fire. Behind this figure, there were images of numerous people bowing at his feet! It must be known that this constellation of stars revealed the deity of Gabriel.
This is the start of the blessed week.
---
In the meditation realm, Judas was looking outside the window. He saw everything that was happening and was shocked. He never expected the blessed week to start so soon. No one expected the blessed week to start so soon!
Filled with rage, he shouted at Solomon behind him. "Solomon! Make the announcement, the blessed week has started! EVERYONE MUST GET READY!"
"Yes, master," Solomon replied as he vanished into nothingness.
