And although the prophet had known the creature its entire life there came a moment in time that was experienced as a sudden rushing and flooding of feeling and emotion within the consciousness to the point of nearly debilitating.
The prophet for some reason felt great sorrow for the creature as if to understand its true nature; it's existence and inevitable downfall. Although the knowledge contained within the prophet could also see the greater good and the reason for it.
Perhaps the prophet felt a sudden urge of guilt somehow for failing to acknowledge what appeared to be this poor and helpless creature of God, understanding and relating to it (so many years ago). A culminating abundance of emotion just waiting to be released.
The prophet though felt good for realizing his shortcomings and making amends with the creature prior to its demise which has not yet come to pass.
And it still remains unclear to the prophet though how much of all this the creature itself actually understood of what it witnessed and whether or not the circumstances themselves may have been inadvertently exaggerated as well as any other meaning unintentionally overlooked.
But in the end the prophet felt good about what had transpired, and that the entire revelation was more of a good thing in coming to terms regarding companionship with said creature of God.
The prophet reflecting upon the occasional eye contact with the creature, even somewhat prolonged at times, as if to garner some sort of understanding between the two, to be experienced by each, in their own way, of course.
You are a fine writer and an intelligent guy, nothing like me! That reminded me of Quigley the gorilla when scientists taught him to realise the truth of his own mortality. It made me feel sad and somehow he was happier beforehand.
In a silly way it also reminds me of forbidden fruit.
