Chapter Text
It is possible that you have questions. Many questions. Questions about Angels and Demons, Heaven and Hell, Right and Wrong, Fate and Free Will. You might be wondering why I would bless the Decker family with a long yearned-for child. A child that grew into the only human being--the woman known as Chloe Decker--who could see my Fallen Angel, Lucifer, for who he really was. Why would I do such a thing? Why would I send my son, the Angel Amenadiel, to bless the Deckers with this miracle child? Why?
Let's just say that I planted a seed and waited for it to bear fruit. You will see.
But for now, let me tell you about my children.
I have many children. I have so many that I can't even say I know them all personally. I know that sounds terrible, but they have always had all their needs met and since they were so numerous, they kept each other company. You would think that they would have been happy to live in the Silver City where all is light, all is music and there are sparkling towers and shining streets! And, of course, all God's children have wings to fly hither and thither in these heavens. In fact most of them were happy. Indeed, all but one were happy—but I will get to that later.
Take it from me, when you don't pay attention to your children, there is a price to pay. They don't know you and you don't know them. So why didn't I get to know my angelic children?
Well, I had a hobby. One that I found very amusing and that seemed harmless enough. It started by chance as a little experiment: what would Earth be like if I added some sentient beings? If I tempted them with free will and watched to see how they would evolve?
I started my project very simply. After I spent a week getting the Universe in order and making Earth habitable for non-Celestial beings, I created the first Human Being—a man who became known through the ages as "Adam." However, I referred to him as Mud Doll, because I essentially created him from the muck of Earth and then breathed life into him. I found that very amusing! It gave me a rush of power that I could do such a thing—-create a world and fill it with sentient beings!
But it turns out you can't just make one. It doesn't work like that. This Mud Doll turned out to be very needy and sulky and in fact perished quite quickly due to the fact that it never really figured out how to feed, clothe and shelter itself. So I created Mud Doll 2.0-still known as Adam. Then I created a companion, Mud Doll 2.1 which I designed to be 2.0's polar opposite. That's right, I had to apply the yin and yang concept of the Universe to my toy garden or it simply would not work.
Mud Doll 2.1 was a little too overwhelming for Adam and for Earth in general. She has become known through the ages as "Lilith." Let's just say that she was a very take-charge kind of being and had so many ideas of her own that she was dangerous to all that I had created. She used her free will to the nth degree, and I really couldn't allow that. After all, this is my hobby and I am in charge here! When she really overstepped her bounds by consorting with one of my children—that was it. I banished her to the dark place. She should be thankful though, because I gave her thousands and thousands of nephilim: her "children" to keep her company in Hell, as the dark place came to be known. Therefore, I had to create a second companion for Adam, but this one would not be made separately—, this one I would make from one of his very own ribs—making her a subset of Adam.
This next iteration was successful! Beautiful, smart (not too smart, unlike Lilith) and very loving towards Mud Doll 2.0—er—Adam. This subset came to be known through the ages as "Eve." You would think that my little experiment was finally off to a good start, right? I had created a beautiful garden flush with fruits and flowers and animals and all Adam and Eve had to do was enjoy the fruits of my labors. What is so complicated about that? Why did anyone have to meddle with my precious hobby?
Did I tell you that I didn't pay much attention to my children? Yes, I believe I did. Here's the thing—it's fine for a Father to ignore His children when they are small. But woe to the man who doesn't wake up and pay attention to His children when they hit the teen years. They were so numerous that neither I nor their Mother, the Goddess of All Creation, could keep track of our Angelic children once they hit puberty. And unfortunately, that is where the trouble began. Neither I nor the Goddess noticed when one of our teen-age Angels sneaked out of the Silver City to go snoop around in my hobby on Earth! Before we knew it, we were getting word of strange goings-on down on Earth. News of an Angel consorting with Lilith and wreaking havoc with Adam and Eve in the garden that I called "Eden."
I never expected such a turn of events! That my little hobby would attract the attention of my own children! Or I should say, one child. Because only one of my children had the audacity to meddle in my paradise on Earth. Who was that child? Which of my beloved Cherubim, Seraphim or Archangels was to blame for this hubris?
Why, Lucifer of course!
