Jezebel x Cain. It's about time Jezebel got his own story.

1. Prologue

God Child: The Lost Chronicles

Author's notes: I do not own any Count Cain characters (although Jezebel is mine). This story takes place after God Child Volume 1. I plan to recreate the entire God Child saga with my own interpretation of how it should have ended. Many thanks to Kaori Yuki for creating this wonderful world.

Prologue

"What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow

Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,

You cannot say, or guess, for you know only

A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,

And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,

And the dry stone no sound of water. Only

There is shadow under this red rock

(Come in under the shadow of this red rock),

And I will show you something different from either

Your shadow at morning striding behind you

Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;

I will show you fear in a handful of dust."

~T.S. Eliot, "The Waste Land"

"O Rose, thou art sick!

The invisible worm

That flies in the night,

In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed

Of crimson joy:

And his dark secret love

Does thy life destroy."

~William Blake, "The Sick Rose"
