to do when it comes to praying and making requests to the Almighty. That you must find from within your own heart” Jarahmael responded.
    “Will this Morning Star harm us?” asked Eve.
    “I don't think he can actually do anything physical to harm you, but he can trick you into doing things, things that if you do to yourself, can cause harm to yourself and others,” Jarahmael responded, trying to keep his anger against Luciferael under control.
    “Can you tell us why the Almighty does not come and talk to us as He did in the past when we were in the Garden of Eden?” Adam asked, his eyes welling up with tears.
    Strangely, Jarahmael felt a wave of empathy pass over him as he looked at these two frail creatures having to survive in a world created for them but now turned hostile. He did not want to tell them that the Almighty would not redeem them now that they had not prayed all day and all night as they had promised.
    “I don't understand all things, only the Almighty does. Violating the commandments and rules that are set by the Almighty have consequences apparently, perhaps even not controlled by the Almighty,” Jarahmael said, holding back his own tears as the sadness grew from his own loss of Lillith, and it became quiet in the cave.
    Jarahmael thought for a second about how he was similar to these creatures for his actions this evening. Actions that he felt compelled to do. Teaching them was in violation of the Almighty's commandments not to interfere, but he still had the assignment from the Almighty to protect them, to watch out for them. It may be all tied to the concept of free will , he thought to himself. But these creatures are not going to even come close to understanding that concept. Jarahmael suddenly felt exhausted and wanted to get some rest. But he wanted to leave them with some hope.
    “Maybe over time the Almighty will find a way to forgive your transgressions, return things to the way they were. But for now you need to be able to survive. I will return and in the meantime be careful of any Angel or creature that appears before you saying they are from the Almighty or making any promises to you. Now I must go,” Jarahmael said as he turned and left the cave, taking wing a few yards outside the entrance, and disappearing once again into the dark and raining sky.
    Adam reached out and pulled Eve over to him and they moved foward on their knees closer to the fire, enjoying its warmth. They were thankful, too, for its light, as they had been in darkness at night, all the while in a world they did not understand.
    “Let us give thanks to the Almighty for sending us the Archangel Jarahmael,” Adam said as he bowed his head and both of them said their thanks to the Almighty.
    Those quiet prayers of thanks were heard far away, both through to the highest Heaven and to the lowest pit of the Underworld.

    INTERFERENCE
     
    Jarahmael knew that he had purposely broken one of the Almighty's commandments. He was supposed to keep an eye on the Humans but not to have direct contact or assist them. Although Cerebriel was also assigned to help with this task, to protect his friend, Jarahmael sent him back up to Heaven. This way Cerebriel would not be responsible for Jarahmael's actions. Now with Adam and Eve sending prayers upwards thanking the Almighty, the Angels above would know that Jarahmael had broken the commandment in helping the Humans. Jarahmael was nervous about what would happen to him but had made up his mind that someone had to intervene to assist the Humans, as Luciferael and Sammuael had already been intervening with the Humans to help destroy them. It was a way to prevent Luciferael from succeeding, and payback for his taking Lillith from Jarahmael.
    Rather than fly back up into the Heavens, Jarahmael remained on the Earth and headed back towards the pyramid and the Sphinxes in Aegyptus. He had the Book of Creation and the Book of Life hidden there. So far, no one had realized that he
