“Enough technical talk, for the moment, said Gabriel, with a laugh. “On with the adventure!”

He quickly grabbed the hand of Helios in a rather firm grip, making a slight expression of concentration, and instantly both Gabriel and Helios stood amongst a huge host of spirits. They had not materialized into any of them, but were just on the edge of one of the many crowds gathered before some much larger type of view-port that now loomed massively before them.

Helios immediately noticed a great deal of point-jumping occurring all around him, both coming and going in the hall itself, as well as within the staggeringly huge view-port near them.

“Welcome to the Hall of Creation,” said Gabriel, gleaming with wonder at
the sight.

No matter how many countless times he had stood in this great Hall, it always felt like the first time. The sound alone sent deep ripples of ecstatic rapture over all those present, and Gabriel was not immune to its glorious inspiration.
