It was some time later that his Father had finished creating His project. In Humanity's terms it had been little over a week, but in Heaven it had been several millennia.
In that time, Samael still wondered why it was that he had been denied the ability to see the colours his stars had created. He knew that his Father had some kind of plan, but surely denying His child the right to see his own work couldn't be part of it.
It was no longer only the matter of his sight that bothered Samael these days. Ever since his Father had started this project, He had spent less and less time with His family, often choosing Earth and Humanity over them.
Eventually, Samael had reached his breaking point. He wanted to see for himself why his Father had decided that His own family were less important than the world that He had been busy creating.
Therefore, one night, he snuck out and flew down from the Heavens and onto the Earth below. He had been told by others who had seen it, his eldest Brother, Amenadiel, being one of them, that Earth was as vibrant as any other part of the corner of the Universe it occupied, but Samael saw none of that, not that it surprised him any more. Still, it didn't dampen his curiosity. He flew to where the first of Humanity resided and when he landed, even without the ability to see the colours of Eden around him, he could appreciate the beauty of it all.
There was bodies of water - lakes and rivers, he had been told - around him in the midst of what he assumed they had named 'trees' and the sky above was clear. He didn't know what it would look like if he could see it the way everyone else could, but it was beautiful. It was paradise.
He wandered through the trees for a while, noticing something in the distance. At first he thought it to be one of his siblings coming to find him, having noticed that he was gone. But as he moved closer, he realised that it wasn't one of his siblings at all. It was the female his Father had created.
He didn't move to her straight away, and instead moved behind one of the trees and watched her from a distance. She was beautiful, definitely the most beautiful thing he had seen in this paradise thus far. Her hair in his eyes was jet black and from the shade of grey, he could tell that her skin was darker than his own.
Samael watched for a while, not wanting to bring attention to himself. He drew back his wings, hoping that if she looked this way, the Human wouldn't see them or him. But as he did, he heard the snapping sound of a twig breaking, his wing having got caught in one of the branches behind him. He cursed, trying to free himself before the Human noticed.
"Are you okay?"
"Er…"
"Let me help you."
Samael did nothing other than watch her as the Human freed him from the tree. She was indeed beautiful and he would have given anything in that moment to see the colour shining in her eyes as they stared at each other once he was able to move his wings again.
The lack of colour in the paradise around him certainly didn't have an impact on the beauty around him that one night.
