Marduk smiles and replies, “Rise my friend. What news of Malik?”
With an angered look he answers his creator. “My Lord he has not been attending to his duties watching the Lay Lines for some time now. Do you wish me to bring him before you?”
Marduk shakes his head. “No, I have something else in mind. I will take this job to one who will be unrivaled in loyalty.”
Loki looks at Marduk with confusion. Marduk makes symbolic movements with his hands and creates a ball of flame. As he drops it, it slowly drifts to the ground and then in a bright flash of light, takes shape. Red wings are the first pieces to sprout as long flowing red hair follows. His body is garbed in crimson armor and draped with a quiver and bow.
“Rise Uriel, my angel of fire.” Flashes of Lucifer destroying Uriel’s body seethe through his core as he screams. His voice shakes the very foundations of the planet as Loki takes a step back in awe of his power. “Welcome Uriel. You are now born anew and the new guardian of the Lay Lines.”
Uriel bows and replies, “Your will be done my Lord.”
Loki slowly steps forward and notices the small key on Uriel’s belt. “My Lord what is the key on Uriel’s belt?”
Marduk smiles as Uriel examines the key. “It is the key to open the Lay Lines, this way it can only be accessed if Uriel Opens it, thus preventing the Morning Star or his hordes from escaping.” Uriel then examines his bow and quickly draws an arrow and fires it at a nearby boulder. As it soars through the air with lightning speed the tip bursts into flame. The boulder incinerates as Marduk smiles and places his hand on Uriel’s shoulder.
“Your aim is unmatched and your battle cry will strike fear into the hearts of your enemies.” Uriel smiles as Marduk turns to face Loki. “Go to the Annunaki Loki and inform them that they now take orders from Uriel. Tell them to head to Earth and deal with the Anasazi problem.”
“Yes my Lord.” Loki bows and takes flight.
“Uriel, go to Earth and meet with the Annunaki and help them with their task.” Uriel bows and is gone in a flash. Marduk smiles and opens the gateway to the spiritual realm and fades out of sight.
