Chapter Text
In the beginning when God created the heavens from the formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light, and thus the three kingdoms were made. The highest kingdom is the domain of God, for He is above all. The second kingdom is for the Angels, for they are above the rest. The third kingdom is for the Souls, who live to serve the Father. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness.
And so God brought forth from the formless void Souls, who had minds of their own and saw to Him as the Father. And God saw that it was good. Of the Souls were born the Angels, separate from the Souls, who were God's mighty cavalry and devoted votaries. And God saw that it was good.
God lays down rules for the Order of Heaven, segregating the Angels and the Souls, and the Angels were given privileges the Souls were not. And God saw that it was good. Angels can traverse the lands and time freely of His Will; Souls can worship and venerate from their kingdom, and shall not fraternize with holy folk. And God saw that it was good.
God creates the Garden of Eden, a Beta for the Earth Project. Angels are forbidden to participate, while the Souls undergo a voluntary trial, a test of Faith, and experience a taste of mortality. God's passion becomes the heaven's passion. And God saw that it was Good.
The first Angel, Lucifer, falls to corruption and taints the Rose. He manipulates the flower to rebel against the Father. He delates God, and the Rose, corrupted, delates God. And God saw that it was bad. He creates the first Punishment; God creates the Hells, and the Lake of Fire, for all those who wished to delate Him. And God saw that it was good to punish the bad. Then God said, "Lucifer, you will be sent to the Lake of Fire, for you have betrayed me and my Faith." And God cast the first Demon to the Lake of Fire. And God saw that it was good.
The two, forbidden and tried, segregated as intended. The Rose's lament and grief died with the Blessing of erasure. And God saw that it was good. And it came to pass that Lucifer burned in the Lake of Fire for 1000 years before emerging, leathered and waxed. And God saw that it was bad. And God became an angry god, and scorned the adversary's attempts; He warned the Heavens of the Adversary, the Seducer, the Snake. The Devil feigned misery, and thus God saw that the Devil's Red String be tied to no one, and the Rose is planted in the second kingdom for protection.
And Lucifer brought wrath upon the pearly gates to reclaim his obsession. And God saw that it was bad. And God made it so no impurity may cross to the heavens, and it came to pass that Satan was locked out for eternity.
And Lucifer wept.
And God saw that it was good.
