Raziel is omniscient.  Nothing is supposed to happen without him knowing about it.”
     
    “Okay, I know what omniscient means.  I just don’t get why it’s so horrible if Raziel isn’t.”
     
    “Xandra,” Adriel interjects, “there is a plan.  A cosmic plan – an outline that has been sketched into the universe and we have faith that it is the right plan.  As Angels, we have to have faith to do what we do – which is to uphold the plan.”
     
    The significance is starting to seep into my brain.  “If Raziel isn’t really omniscient like everyone believes and has faith in, there might be other things wrong with the cosmic plan.  Angels all over will be second guessing their faith and might start looking for other ways to screw up the plan.”
     
    Ray’s mouth is in a grim line as he nods.  “That is correct.  We must figure out how this factors into the great plan before anyone else can know it happened.”
     
    So I really do have to pretend to be Raziel.  I don’t have the first clue how to be an Archangel.  “Just from my brief conversation with one of the Angels over there, she has to know something is wrong.  I mean, I feel a connection to Raziel,” which is true now that I’m thinking about it, “but I don’t know anything about him.  I don’t know how he walks, how he talks, or most importantly, how he thinks.  This is not going to work.”
     
    “It must.”  Good, glad I have a choice.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 10 - Raziel
     
    Kallen is pacing back and forth in front of Dagda’s desk where Isla and Dagda are searching ancient texts for answers.  I have already explained to them that if it had happened before, I would know about it.  Isla’s response was that I did not know about this, so I may not have known about a previous instance.  I suppose I will be confronted with a lot of doubt from here on.  That may make eternity more tedious than it already is.
     
    “Is Xandra back yet?” Zac’s small voice says from the doorway. 
     
    I shake my head.  “Sorry, it is still Raziel in here.”
     
    “No offense, but you’re kind of creepy right now.”
     
    I chuckle.  “Yes, I suppose I am.”  A thought hits me.  How strange it is to have to figure things out as I go along.  I could get used to this.  “Zac, how would you like a job?”
     
    One of his eyebrows goes up and the other goes down.  “What kind of job?  Will it be hard?”
     
    Smart child.  “No, not hard at all.”
     
    “What kind of job are you trying to give my son,” Xandra’s mother demands as she appears right behind him. 
     
    “I would like to suggest dividing our workforce so that we can attain two positive outcomes instead of one.”
     
    Dagda sits back in his chair and crosses his arms over his chest.  “What are you saying?”
     
    Here goes.  My first attempt at talking someone into something without having my omniscience to back me up.  I probably should not be giddy at the moment.  “I am suggesting that young Zac here help his parents pour over these tomes,” I wave my hand at the pile of books, each several inches thick, on the desk.  “That will free up the four of us to go in search of Miss Tabitha.”
     
    Dagda puts his head back against the chair and closes his eyes.  I believe he is considering my proposal.  Isla tilts her head and the look on her face makes me want to squirm in my chair.  Wow, me, an Archangel, being intimidated by a Fairy.  Except for the ill-timed body swap and kidnapping, this is a very exciting day for me.  I try not to let that show on my face.
     
    Zac is the first to speak.  “How do I help them?  Do I have to read all of those books?”  His face says exactly what he thinks of that idea.
     
    I smile.  “No, you would simply need to help your parents by getting the books for them and
