Author's Note: Day 5 will be dawning soon enough, but first we're gonna have a rebellion in the heavenlies. It will be broken up into two chapters, seen from Satan's and God's views.
(Day 4)
It was awfully dark on the earth, even though light existed. The messengers of the court discussed this among themselves. How could anyone see anything in a world of darkness?
"Sun and moon and stars of night,
Take your places as beings of light.
In the sky to mark the seasons and years," the Great King called into the dark expanse.
"Catchy," the Great Uncle murmured, as a great ball of fire lit up the dark world.
"Our children need light to live by and poetry is a gift some will possess," the Son answered from the King's right side.
Two great lights were created to light the dark world. The greater light to rule the day; the lesser to rule the night. The stars were scattered to the four winds of the sky as well. The messengers were delighted and set out to explore more of this new wondrous world, though one stayed behind to contemplate a dark pride in him. There was evening and morning the fourth day.
