Crestfallen, Kamael the mighty returned before the Great White Spirit, his serpents drooping behind him; and they grovelled before the throne of that All-powerful One. He dismissed them with a short laugh, and a wave of His right hand. If He was disturbed, He was too proud to show it. “This,” he said to himself, “is clearly a matter for Elohim Gibor.” Therefore He summoned that divine power before Him.
