The Wings of the Wicked/III

So it was in those days that the daughters of men and the sons of Heaven met for the first time; face to face, flesh to feather. There was rejoice, and awe, and great change. It was in these times that mankind had built for himself huts and villages to call home. Clothing fashioned from the pelts and leathers of the game they hunted to keep them warm in the winter, while the summer Sun shone - bright and burning - upon their naked forms.
The Watchers - true unto their title - gazed upon the sons of Adam and the daughters of Eve; and were themselves gazed upon in kind. Feeling communion with their successors in Creation, these mal'akhim set about to teach them all they could of the mysteries of Heaven and the intricacies of our Father's Creation.
Araqiel was the first to make his teachings known to man. He taught them geography and the signs of the Earth while Armaros taught them the resolving of enchantments. Azazel, whom once served beneath the Adversary before the Fall, taught men the forging of cutlery and armaments; of knives and swords, bows and spears - all to better defend their homes, their families, and their lives.
Gadreel, who made himself known only to women, taught them the knowledge of cosmetics and ornamentation for the beautification of their bodies and the pleasing of their men. Baraqel taught men astrology and the names of those brethren whom he knew. Chazaqiel taught men the ways of the clouds in the sky while Penemue taught men the makings of papyrus and the inscription of ink and the pen.
Shamsiel, who aided the Son of the Morning in the ignition the Sun and who was once stationed as a sentry before the Garden of Eden, taught men the signs of the Sun and the timings of the eclipse and the Moon.
But perhaps most deplorable of all was one whom we now call Yeqon. He was the first to defile a soul. The first to consummate the true purpose of the Watchers' descension to Eden, for it was he who laid with the daughter of a man. It was Yeqon's example which drove the other Watchers to follow suit, setting forth the seeds which would bloom into the War and giving way for the Son of the Morning to instigate his cause.
While the mal'akhim were not anatomically fashioned for fornication, neither in substance nor in function, the lusts and passions we instilled in the children of men were every bit as profound and as intimate as any raw act of copulation. Soon, man upon women, daughters upon sons, mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, all would come before us in search of union.
Soon, the time came when they lost their armor and were rendered bare, forever held in the thighs of those who grew to love them as if they were flesh and blood. They knew not the consequences of their actions, nor did they consider the impression these trysts would leave upon their skyward brethren. Chief among them were he seraphim - and he who was once known as the Light Bringer.
The seraphim Michael and Remiel descended to Eden just as Samyaza and his followers had - under the cover of darkness; and like the Watchers, they took for themselves concubines and paramours from among the sons and daughters of men. The touch of naked flesh, the taste of milk and discharge, the warmth of the mortal body against the cold fascicle of a mal'akhim's organ - all of this and more swayed the seraphim from their paths as judiciaries of the Word.
In time, as the huts and valleys were replaced with villages of stone and wood, the Creator at last took notice.
The clouds parted as Gabriel's trumpet sounded through the heavens. "Return to your stations," the Most High bellowed, resolute from His throne in Heaven. "Recede from your lechery and your ill-given knowings, for they were not yours to bestow," He announced further.
None dared to disobey. Michael and Remiel were the first to return, their lips aplenty with reasons and explanations as to their actions. Their words fell upon deaf ears. Following them was Samyaza and his Watchers. Their lips were silent and void of vindication as they bowed humbly before the Lord of Hosts.
