wanted her to move into the Hold with me. She wasn't sure, and I
tried to push her, without thinking, andЧ" He punctuated the
sentence with a shrug.

Yaweh studied him somberly for a moment, then sighed. "I wish
there was something I could do for you."

The Regent shook his head. "It doesn't matter. I'll get over it.
Maybe it'll teach me something. But enough. What do you want me
to do?"

Yaweh cleared his throat. "In order to accomplish this, we need the
cooperation of every angel in Heaven. But when I mentioned the
plan to one of the angels who dwells here, he had a strange
reaction. Rather than being excited by the idea, he was frightened
by it."

The Regent's eyes widened. "Why?"

"There will be some danger associated with it. I don't know how
much yet, but certainly some. He understood that, and was more
frightened by the plan than happy with the idea of the safety that
would follow." He shrugged. "It's natural, now that I think of it. Most
angels remember little or nothing of their first WaveЧthe one that
created them. Our hatred of the flux comes later."

"I don't believe that any angel could fail to see what we gain with
this, Yaweh. We may have to explain it to them, but certainly not
more than that."

Yaweh sighed. "I hope you're right."

"I am," said the other. "It may take a little time, that's all."

"I hope you're right," he repeated. "In any case, Lucifer will be
coming this evening, and we'll go over the general plans then, and
discuss things in more detail. There is an archangel named Uriel
who can help youЧ"

"Help me what, Yaweh? You still haven't told me."

"Let me save it for tonight."

The Regent looked at him closely. "Whatever it is, you don't like it,
do you?" Yaweh shook his head. The Regent changed the subject.
"I'll want to go back to the Hold soon. It's quite a walk."

"All right. But can you wait until tomorrow? It's been a long time
since you've slept under my roof. We'll be having some pin-
dancing. I would be pleased," he added.
