 I don't know if anyone's brought this up already, I
haven't been following the thread.

 "The rebellious spirit in you and me. The
Lightbringer."

 Let's not forget that the name of the "rebellious
Angel" (God's favorite until he wanted his own piece
of the action and was kicked out of Heaven)  was
Lucifer.
 The name "Lucifer" by the way, means "Lightbringer".

"The scene was wild and somewhat sinister. The
darkness, the palms, the mountainous background, the
silent lake below, the impenetrable canopy of space,
studded with secretive and significant stars, formed a
stupendous setting for the savage noise and blaze of
the ceremony."
