Mastema

Several generations passed and Mastema had perched upon a mountaintop peering down at humanity. The sole member of the Satanim, now operating under the moniker Mastinim, an Order that was responsible for testing humanity in hopes that they learn from their errors, looked on at his test subjects with scorn. He had been a satan far longer at this point than Sataniel had before he fell, and Mastema became disgusted at himself for it had taken that much longer for him to finally see the truths that Sataniel uttered that fateful day when he was spared by his mentor who was making an attempt at the Throne and sovereignty over Heaven. He concluded that Sataniel was correct in his assertions regarding humanity but he could not justify his mentor’s evil mission against God. He believed wholeheartedly that he and God were both duped by the humans and that they shared a unique link due to them both falling for the farce. Mastema believed that the other angels, including Mikha’el (Michael), were content in simply praising humanity because they knew that that was what God wanted but Mastema believed he alone understood what was truly necessary. He reflected back on the first time he realized that Sataniel’s words were not merely the banter of a fractured psyche, but the poignant observations that only experience could teach.
