That, Ghastly wanted to say, was not the truth. That was a dodge. You dodged the question.

He didn't have to, though, because God went on to actually explain Himself - somewhat - and Ghastly was reeling from the straight answer a few moments longer than it took to actually register what that answer was.

The Ancients, like Gabe had said. In Gabe's world, Fallen angels. And that was another question Ghastly had - the parallels between alternate realities and dimensions. But he would wait with that one. He would wait until he understood his own question a little better. As it was, all the different parallels and existences and divine truths were still flying uselessly around his own mind.

"The rainbows were a promise, then?" Ghastly asked. Rainbows were, as far as he knew, a purely scientific occurrence. But that didn't mean God hadn't created the scientific occurrence. And that, Ghastly suspected, was what he was really having trouble with - even if angels only existed where Gabe came from, God was everywhere.

His stomach was starting to flip again. Ghastly finally did look away, and stared at the elevator doors. Why was getting to the ground floor taking so long?
