A/N: Hi again. So, this was based on a tumblr prompt from user princess-dean-winchester-of-hell via luciferprompts. My friend (who this is gifted to on AO3) told me that I should write something for this and this is the result. My very first 5+1 things fic using a prompt that we both loved quite a bit. I hope you like it. It is completed, so expect all six chapters to be up very soon.
Samael had always known that his sight was different from that of his siblings and parents; knew that they could see things differently that what he could. His sight was filled with tones of grey and the Silver City was not much more than just a blanket of white for the most part. He could see no colour: the golden tones of his Mother's hair, or the electric blue of his Sister's eyes. It didn't bother him most of the time; there wasn't much colour variation in the Silver City and, because he didn't know any better, he didn't feel as though he was missing out on anything.
But then his Father spoke to them about a new project. A realm in the empty Universe around them where there was to be so much colour, so much vibrancy, and a paradise made for his newest life project: Humanity.
It sounded wonderful, and if Samael had any concept of colour other than those on the monochrome spectrum, he would have been able to picture it for himself. But he couldn't. His siblings marveled in their thoughts, often talking to each other about what they thought it might look like in the end.
It was the first time Samael had ever felt separate and distant from his family.
So when his Father called upon him to be the Lightbringer and to create the stars, Samael had wondered if this was the moment he would finally be given the gift of vibrancy in his sight.
But once his stars were lit and the colours began to shine, Samael could still nothing but grey.
It was the first time he had questioned his Father.
Why?
Because it is My will.
Little did Samael realise just how much of an impact that one small question would have on the rest of his existence.
