REVENGE, a Sword is Forged! (3)

The child sits on his bed crying, feeling
angry and powerless against the
monster that dominates his unhappy
home.
Don't cry young one, said REVENGE.
Let me tell you a story so that you may
understand the power I have placed in
your hands.

God had become tired with his second
sons lies, and knew that something had
to be done with his child of light, Lucifer
God called on his first son Michael, and
told him that he "Michael" would take
charge of the Army of Cherubs, and vacate
Lucifer and his cohorts from the Heavens.
"He  and his will no longer see the light of
my power. Darkness of my doings will
cloud their minds."
Your will be done, but Lucifer is powerful
and his army is large, Michael said!
In answer to Michael, god said,
"Am I not all knowing and all powerful, does
not what comes out of my mouth occur as I
have said. As I knew you would say this
thing, I have created that which I have forged
in my anger. Lucifer has corrupted many and
has gone as far as to corrupt my sons of the
earth with his lies. The choice I have given all
my creation, he has used as a weapon against
my laws. So for you Michael I have created
VENGEANCE, you will take this sword and with
it you will over throw Lucifer and his cohorts.
To the earth you will throw them."
A loud cry erupted in the heavens:
Whooo to the earth, he comes like a lion to
devour you!!
The war in heaven began, and in time, Michael
and his army overcame Lucifer and his cohorts.
Michael stood with his foot on Satan's throat,
while holding the sword REVENGE high over his
head. From this day on you and yours will not
see the light of GOD! You and yours are
permanently banish to the earth for the wrong
choices you have made!
Michael struck Satan with the sword REVENGE,
and just like that, Satan was thrown to the earth,
but in the throwing of Satan to the earth, REVENGE
followed him down.
Satan screamed at the heavens, that which you have
used against me, I will use against the monkeys you
call man!!!!

Chicky was no longer crying, he was riveted by the
story REVENGE had told him. In the child's head he
had now found the reasoning to act on his vengeance!!
"I was created by the most powerful, and now you will
be my sword against the EVIL man inflicts on the
innocent..
YOU ARE MY REVENGE!!!
