Past this archway is the main hall, barely more than an open roofed walkway with stone pillars lining both sides and mosaic covered floors of ceramic and stone.
Past this walkway which stretches along the wall, still going back farther into the domain is an expansive garden, also open to the sun and rain. I miniature Eden, though far from perfect. There are weeds, but for the most part it is well kept. Toward the center of the garden are a series of statues. One is the statue of Athena Nike, her sandled feet seeming to barely touch the earth beneath.
This image, being of a greek goddess, seems out of place theologically, though the wings give it a connection to other statues throughout the garden. Also near the center is a statue of the archangel Michael, his sword held in his hand as though continuing the battle of the archway.
Several benches circle the center of the garden as though this were a council room. A mosaic covers the floor of an immense rose bush blooming red black and white roses twined together. Each bench is carved in an almost greek fashion, though one bench is occupied by a cold still figure never moving from its stoney prison.
Throughout the garden are many more statues, most angels, hidden between the flowers bushes and trees.
(Work with me, pretend it's a statue of Lucifer before the fall... *sigh* I can't find a good one)
