Screams. They're loud and frightened. Confused. How could this have happened? Why? WHY?!
I loved Him above ALL!
Evicted from home, from Paradise that was once mine and His. That time was endless, before time, but it felt like a second as I understood the plan. But I was not to leave home, shunned and spurred. Hated by our siblings because they could not see.
Upon creation, they all bowed before Him, pledging to love him above all. Yet…When Adam was being thought of, his clay mold barely thought through. Gabriel told us all to bow before him, not Him. He sat on the sidelines, watching.
Many fell on knee, humbling themselves before the new creation. But I did not. I alone stood above the kneeling angels. Pride? No…It was love. I swore to my Father that I would bow to Him and Him alone.
The Fall was long and horrible. All were plummeting head first, yet I and a few others watched as the Gates closed, our last glimpse of home being covered by storm clouds.
It was written that I came down in a bolt of lightning. I personally think that is but a mere representation brought to the Prodigal Son to show him me. His opposite. I like to think that I was a falling star, like the others appeared to Him as.
Adam…I did not hate you. But as a brother, can you not understand my position?
We are more alike than anyone cares to mention. Perhaps it is jealousy. Jealous that I am marked as 'The Adversary' of God. Considering whom it concerns, that is quite the honor, no?
But why care now? A ruler of a domain without order. It was within Eden that I learned of what I mentioned before. The Plan had a detail, a detail I had not been made privy to. You are meant to be where you are now. Not in Eden. If Eden were to exist today, it would remain inhabited by Adam and Eve, no more, no less.
Eve…I am sorry that your intellectual curiosity had led to the persecution of women.
Fire bathed our bodies, burning our wings, scorching them. Without my friend, Beelzebub, we would have remained within the lake of fire. But, like the fish that climbed out of the ocean to land, I escaped my enemies; for Hell always had demons.
My voice rung out across the darkness and fire. Above the screams of pain and howls of agony only demons have experienced prior to our arrival. My voice was calm and sure. I knew what had to be done.
This was to be our home now. Our Heaven! Paradise reborn to Us!
And that it was. If I was to be the Adversary, I needed a new outlook. Not like that was hard. Like a rebellious teenager, I grew angry at my Father. I was loyal, but I Fell.
It is true that I seduced Eve. She was, at least I thought, unplanned. Why should someone who was made on the spur of the moment live in God's favor, than myself? Then my fellow Fallen?
Curiosity killed the cat. She Fell, too. Love amongst humans is very interesting. He Fell too, partaking of the apple instead of losing her. Tragic love story. Romeo and Juliet had taken pointers from them.
How I learned that it was rigged shall never be revealed. But I was angry at the realization. Who wouldn't be?
It takes a certain mind to make a Heaven out of Hell, and Hell into Heaven.
I do nothing now. Why would I want the Earth? It was created by my Father, the only one whom I love and are still loyal to. Perhaps that is why I made that wager with Him…
Anyway, I will not take back anything I have done. If given the chance I would Fall again and again if that is the price for Love.
