Warnings and notes:
1) I am not following the events of the bible and since am not a good Christian there may be some errors here and there so please don't flame me.
2) This story will contain incest themes. (Other than the Augusta/Alexis in the original work) But for those of you who have read GodChild, I think that it will not matter too much ne?
3) I do not believe in Cain's mark being the darkening of his skin. I am strongly against racism.
1 Adam knew his wife Eve intimately and she conceived and gave birth to Cain. She said, "I have had a male child with the LORD's help."
2 Then she also gave birth to his brother Abel. Now Abel became a shepherd of a flock, but Cain cultivated the land.
3 In the course of time Cain presented some of the land's produce as an offering to the LORD.
4 And Abel also presented
— some of the firstborn of his flock and their fat portions. The Lord had regard for Abel and his offering,
5 but He did not have regard for Cain and his offering. Cain was furious, and he was downcast.
6 Then the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you furious? And why are you downcast?
7 If you do right, won't you be accepted? But if you do not do right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must master it."
8 Cain said to his brother Abel, "Let's go out to the field."
And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.
– Genesis 4:1-8
And thus Cain killed Abel, starting what would seem to be an eternal nightmare.
9 Then the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?"
"I don't know," he replied. "Am I my brother's guardian?"
10 Then He said, "What have you done? Your brother's blood cries out to Me from the ground!
11 So now you are cursed from the ground that opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood you have shed.
12 If you work the land, it will never again give you its yield. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth."
13 But Cain answered the Lord, "My punishment is too great to bear!
14 Since you are banishing me today from the soil, and I must hide myself from Your presence and become a restless wanderer on the earth, whoever finds me will kill me."
15 Then the Lord replied to him, "In that case, whoever kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over." And He placed a mark on Cain so that whoever found him would not kill him.
16 Then Cain went out from the Lord's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
– Genesis 4:9-16
And so, the mark was placed on Cain. A mark that would never fade from each of his incarnations until the curse along with it is broken. The curse which was in fact put on both Cain and Abel, forcing them never to find eternal salvation until the LORD ALMIGHTY
willed it. This curse plays the central role on this story. It is the Truth Behind the Nightmare.
Okies. Prologue Chapter up. I know it's short but it IS a prologue. Be expecting the next chapter in a day or so.
