In Exile (Archangel Jarahmael and the War to Conquer Heaven, Book III) by John J Higgins Page B

would brave the weather, as he did not want to lose his opportunity to seize Luciferael. Adam and Eve would be bait, at least for the day, and he would be there, just in case.
    Jarahmael and Cerebriel lodged themselves on the corner of one of the storm clouds sitting over Adam and Eve's cave. After a few moments they saw the two of them leave the cave and followed them from above as they went back to their places in the rivers from yesterday. Despite the storm and rising waters, Adam and Eve both entered the water of the rivers as they had the day before and continued their praying.
    Jarahmael turned to Cerebriel. “Hear that? Good. They have started to pray just as they had yesterday. They still have a chance at redemption.”
    “Yes, if they pray all day like they promised,” responded Cerebriel while keeping a sharp eye on the two of them from his spot next to Jarahmael. “The waters are rising. Not a great idea for them to remain in the river. It’s a shame we cannot explain to them the importance of continuing to pray all day.”
    “This is a difficult position to be in. We cannot warn them or communicate with them, even while there are not any restrictions on Luciferael or his rebels,” answered Jarahmael. “For now, let's see if Luciferael or his colleagues show up this morning. We can thwart them at least, and I hope follow them back so I can find where they have placed Lillith.”
    The storm raged on as Adam and Eve remained in the river saying prayers to the Almighty, entreating Him to forgive them and return them to the Garden of Eden.
    As Jarahmael and Cerebriel kept watch, some lower-flying storm clouds passed over and stalled over where Eve was standing. Jarahmael indicated to Cerebriel that he was going to drop down to see more clearly, concerned that Luciferael or his rebel Angels could be interacting with Adam and Eve without him seeing it.
    He could not see clearly even at the lower level, as the visibility had gotten worse. Deciding to drop to the Earth itself, he turned himself invisible so he could approach her more closely without being seen.
    However, once he dropped to the Earth he did not see Eve or Luciferael or any of the rebel Angels. Eve had disappeared!
    He did not hear her prayers any longer, although he could still hear Adam's. He flew back up to Cerebriel. “Eve has disappeared!” he exclaimed.
    “Disappeared? How did that happen?” Cerebriel asked.
    “I don’t know. I dropped down to find her, and when I got down to the level of the Earth, she was gone!”
    “Washed away down the river most likely,” Cerebriel said.
    “We better go find her!” exclaimed Jarahmael. “The Almighty told us to keep an eye on the two Humans.”
    “Yes. You are right,” said Cerebriel. The two of them dropped out of the cloud, through the storm and then to the river that Eve had been standing in. “No trace of her, see I told you,” Jarahmael said to Cerebriel.
    “Let me go check on Adam,” said Cerebriel as he flew off in that direction.
    Jarahmael began to fly along the river looking in the current and along the embankments. He could still hear Adam's prayers, so he must still be all right over in the other river.
    As Jarahmael flew along, Cerebriel caught up to him. “Any sign of her yet?” asked Cerebriel.
    “No, and I have been searching closely. There has been no sign of her. How's Adam?” Jarahmael asked.
    ”He is still in his river praying diligently.”
    “How is the current in the river over there?” Jarahmael asked, pointing off into the direction where Adam was standing.
    “The current doesn’t seem to be affecting him much. He is standing in the shallows off on one of the sides of the river,” Cerebriel added.
    “The current here doesn’t seem terribly bad either, despite all the rain that has been falling,” said Jarahmael.
    “This is all very odd,” said Cerebriel.
    They flew off downstream still searching for Eve. After a distance of about ten miles, Jarahmael
