Episode 14: Azazil

To fight with the devil,

You must be a demon.

To be equal to the devil,

You have to be an angel

To defeat the devil,

You have to be human.

Because God is with the people who believe in Him.

One of the stars in the sky had disappeared, a sign that someone had just been chosen to be the third guard. After Arafis and Fidela, there were others who were crowned with absorbing the essence of light. This is very interesting, meaning my opponents are more diverse and the game is more interesting.

“Master, it seems you are feeling restless mala mini?” Ask a woman dressed in red.

“Lalita, do you see the star at the end there? Lately, one of the stars in it disappeared from its cluster” my Jabar.

“What star do you mean, orion cluster? Or..”.

“Stars who once gave birth to a second guard. Now the third keeper has been born.”

“Who is the third guard?”

“It seems he became an executor like me. The position has been empty for a long time. The last time the executor was Arafis Ohba. I was the first and Namus the second.”

“But it's been a very long time, and could a human be a keeper?”

“If his soul, it is very possible, but for the dying? It's a question mark for me.”

“Master, could a human be your substitute? Is not manusaia a creature that always does the roar?”

“Unfortunately so, ever since a weak creature named man came, everything has gone awry. Oh yes Lalita, will you listen to stories about humans?”

“By pleasure sir.”

***

Lalita listened to my story. This story begins with the birth of a creature named Adam in our midst. When an Adam boy apologizes, he is asking for a light to illuminate his life and lead to a straight path. I do not accept the special treatment of the light on Adam, the father of men.

How the stubborn creature got the privilege of being like us, and it is only natural that I protest against the light. I am better than him and always obey whatever the light says, but why he prefers it. I was disappointed but could not do anything, my devotion had to be lost by the devotion of Adam. My protest at that time even plunged me into a creature cursed by Him because of my opposition to Adam.

No wonder I was so hurt by Adam. He is a creature who is good at licking and deceiving. I am sure that Adam and his descendant will do the same thing as his predecessors who preyed on each other like wild animals. They are the ones who make the earth bathed in blood.

Perhaps I, my actions are an objection that the creator did not expect. Sometimes love is not always seiya and seirama, I willingly cursed by a loved one. I fell into the abyss of hell, but my longing for Him exceeded even the praise of the people of Adam. All night long only prayers and lamentations reverberate in the blanket of the night.

Until one day, my capsule was heard by Him. The lamentation of all time was heard by Him, the light so that I could embrace his love. I have been forgiven on one condition, which is to be a testator for the descendant of Adam. This is my penance even though in my heart it is an insult, but I accept it with a free heart. This task is very difficult to see the habits of those who easily get lost and vacillate.

Every creature's heart is strange, they always blame me for making them stray. They themselves chose the wrong path. My main task is to seduce and whisper the ugliness, not to tell it. So, all is their choice for what they do. They choose to be demons or angels.

If they are aware of its potential, then I will try to bring them down by making them similar to myself who has been cursed and into the heat of hellfire. But if they remain firm in their own desire for the light, then what can they do. My form of worship is dropping and misleading. Their determination is like our determination.

***

Creating people is a mistake, a mistake that makes the universe lose its balance. I cannot blame His will, but I know what will happen next. Damage and riots will come with time and the growing number of children descending upon their place of origin.

I told you, they will destroy not only the earth, but also the universe reached by them. Indeed they have the nature of light, but darkness is far as dominant as their forerunner, Qabil. I'm just suggesting that instead of telling, baby she's consumed by her own ambitions. Envy is the second highest trait after pride. If pride is king, then envy is his queen. And that's what I was hoping for. Let them maintain envy as my companion in the lower realms later.

I, the invigilator, will more vigorously lead men into darkness upon their will. Will not retreat before they are buried by lust. That's how I love the light sincerely. Not for fear of going to hell, nor for the desire to take heaven. For to love the light must be sincere, not out of reward or threat.

I, Azazil the intruder. Has sworn allegiance to the creator of light, protecting and leading men who are like me in a dark way. Let Namus, my brother take my place as the leader of the guards, while I lead the darkness-loving humans.
