"And so you bury your head in the sand and ignore all common sense in hopes that everything will be okay?
We have to ask questions, find answers, make discoveries and adapt to those discoveries. That is the way of the world. Even the humans - where would they be if the wisest among them had never questioned what was thought to be the natural order of things? They would still be living in dark caves, scavenging for food, easy prey for every predator, ever illness, every shift in the seasons.
His love was not a coin I dropped on the ground as I wandered through life. I did not lose it, Gabriel. He chose to rip it away from me.
How did I bear it? By offering myself to all the other lost souls He damned to the darkness, by rebuilding the pit of chaos and torment we had been exiled to and opening it up to all those He has cast out for the ever so great sin of questioning the way of the world." Here he paused to stroke Uriel's hair reassuringly, delighting in the way the fallen angel leaned into his touch.
"I bear it because I am Lucifer. I am the Lightbringer. I will not let my light be dimmed even though He no longer allows my light to grace the halls of Heaven. There are others in need of light, and I will not turn my back on them solely because He turned His back on me."
