Enoch returned to the temple. Both Jehovah and Michael were there to greet him.
“You are late,” Michael looking at his nephew.
“I needed to clear my head,” Enoch choosing to keep his encounter with Semyaza to himself for the moment.
“Are you certain,” Jehovah grinning; “because a little bird told me a different story.”
Enoch just stared at Jehovah for what felt like an eternity; but it was the arrival of the same cherub he helped heal landing on god’s shoulder that Enoch realized he was just out bluffed by god again.
“Meet my little bird,” Jehovah chuckling; “I understand you helped him and all the other cherubs.”
“Okay,” Enoch sighing; he was exhausted after using a lot of energy that he still has no idea how to fully control. “But I felt it was the right thing to do,” Enoch nodding at the cherub; “better to ask for forgiveness than permission.”
“Well you helped my Cherubs,” Jehovah nods; “so I’ll let this little adventure of yours slide.”
“Thin ice uncle,” Enoch asks Michael as he watches Jehovah enter the temple.
“We’ll find out,” Michael staring at Enoch with a stoney expression; “come, let’s get your vows properly over with."
It was the same priest he had lip with earlier, so Enoch knew this might not end as well as he would like. Jehovah was standing there. Sitting on his shoulder was the cherub he helped earlier; but Enoch could not help but notice the shit eating grin Jehovah was displaying. It was a grin Enoch remembered Loki having every time one of his pranks on one his brothers and sisters went off. Enoch feels he is about to be brought through the wringer.
"Do you proclaim yourself an angel?" the priest speaking as he places a hand on Enoch’s shoulder; even he has big shit eating grin.
“Yes,” Enoch answers; doing his best to make this as quick and painless.
"Do you give your allegiance to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
“I’m still sticking with my first answer,” Enoch letting his stubbornness through. “My first allegiance is to my family,” Enoch answering; the priests grin getting even wider.
“Do you accept Jehovah as your friend and guide?"
“Yes,” Enoch answering; glad that that compromise has been met.
"Do you renounce all other masters?" The priest eyeing Enoch; all the while Jehovah was trying to hold back a belly laugh.
“I can’t answer that with honesty”, Enoch testing the waters; suspecting something as a foot. “These powers I have seek to steer me to actions that would contradict the wishes of others.”
It worked Enoch smiling; Jehovah’s barley contained mirth was replaced with curiosity as he looked at the priest who also was taken aback.
"Do you henceforth give your worship to the power of cosmic creation?"
Enoch repeats his previous action the last time he was given this question. He removes his glasses; allowing the priest to glimpse said power through his blue eyes.
“As I said before,” Enoch responding; “I am the living embodiment of cosmic creation. The same powers that seek to guide me were others might not want me to be.”
"Then I welcome you to the Kingdom of Heaven,” the priests grin returning; “and bestow you the name Enoch Light-Bringer Morningstar.” The priests grin goes wide as Jehovah’s belly laugh bursts forth as the priest add one more item; “adoptive son to our king Jehovah.”
“Did you have any ideal that was going to happen Uncle,” Enoch looking like he just taken to the woodshed.
“Nope,” Michael keeping a straight face; “but it could have been worse.”
“Worse,” Enoch giving his uncle a side eye look; “how much worse?”
“Jehovah could have sent you to be one of Jove’s concubines,” Michael finally grinning; unable to hold back his laughter.
“Bastards,” Enoch finally understanding the trap that was laid. by sticking to his answer of family coming first; Enoch just realized that getting adopted by Jehovah honor bounds him to treat all of heaven as family. “I’d fly off if I wasn’t so exhausted,” Enoch shaking his head.
“then you’ll stay with me for the night,” Michael placing a hand on his nephews shoulder; “it will give us a chance to talk and you'll get a proper introduction to the angelic side of the Morninstar clan!”
