In The Garden, Part One: “The Lucifer’s Plot!”

This time, however, he pulled a small vial of liquid out from his cloak, and he looked as if he was drinking this strange liquid. Seconds later, he spit a mist of it into the fire and the flames rose up to 7 feet tall!!!

The children screamed, and giggled in excitement, as he raised his hands and staff to the sky, praising Yahweh, and continued speaking where he left off in his story…

The flames danced, and made detailed, moving pictures before their very eyes as Ezrae began to speak again.

"The Garden was beautiful; full of extravagant flora, wondrous animals, and strange & delicious fruits. Adam spent most of his time conferring with Father Yahweh, teaching the children, and tending to The Garden.

On the other hand, Lilith didn't have much to do other than nurse the children and tend to Adam's needs, so she spent a lot of time wandering through, and exploring, the Garden of Eden."

One day, in the Garden, Lilith would encounter the Dragon; a fearsome and powerful creature; while Adam was off conferring with Father Yahweh, while the children were playing.

The Dragon was, in fact, Lucifer; The Leader of the Arch-Angels of God, who had managed to sneak into the Garden, in disguise!

As an Angel, Lucifer was the most glorious, the most powerful, and the most perfect.

He was known as The Morning Star; and was the keeper of the Light, and defender of the Sun; assigned by God to defend the source of life for the universe; an expression of The Lord God.

When the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars; The Animals and The Plants; The Cosmos, Heaven and Earth were spoken into existence by Yahweh, Lucifer was there.

He was accompanied by his brothers Uriel, Michael, and Gabriel; the Four most powerful of the Angels, "Whom Support and Exalt, The Throne of God."

When Genesis was created, Lucifer was… appalled. The Love he could see in his Father's eyes for this flawed, hairless ape infuriated and hurt Lucifer, cutting him deep.

However, when God separated Genesis into Adam and Lilith, Lucifer almost immediately became smitten with Lilith, coveting her and wanting her for his own, as he found her beauty to be raw, exotic, and almost intimidating.

Most of the Angels of Heaven were Eunuchs; Showing characteristics or aspects of neither males nor females; and instead keeping an androgynous and gender-less form. The exception to this, is the 10 highest ranking angels in heaven, known as The Echelon, or the Pride of God.

This included Lucifer, The 7 Other Arch-Angels, Metatron the Scribe, and Charon the Guide, and they were all male; except Remiel and Charon, the only 2 females in the Echelon.

As such, Lucifer had never seen a woman like Lilith before, and he couldn't help but fall in love, at first sight.

Because of these reasons; coveting Adam's wife, feeling replaced, and being confused that the Almighty Creator bowed his head to such a lowly creature; his hatred for Adam (and subsequently the entire human race as a whole) was born.

Since Lucifer was a powerful Arch-Angel, he had many strange and incredible powers; such as Shapeshifting, Hypnosis, Powerful Magics, Light Manipulation, and Psionics; just to name a few.

Which is exactly how he was able to sneak into the Garden, and attempt to enact his plan to corrupt Adam, and claim Lilith as his own.

From there, he would subsequently prove to God that the humans he created were flawed, broken, and unworthy of His love, and could be made better if they unified with the Angels.

This is not quite how the plan worked out, however… Using his powers of Mental Manipulation and Hypnosis, Lucifer was able to lull the Guardian Angel, who stood before the entrance to Eden; to sleep.

Knowing that, at that moment, God was meeting with Adam; and that they would be a while, Lucifer saw this as his chance to "fix" his problem with the humans.

He took the form of the Dragon, so that God wouldn't know it was Lucifer; a large fearsome beast, like a massive lizard; with bat-like wings, and massive, sharp claws & teeth; and finally, they can breath fire, and use magic.

It was then he did just that; he began whispering all the things she secretly wanted to hear… Ideas of equality, non-submission, power, and freedom in her ear; sending his voice upon the wind, using magic, in order to lure her to the Tree of Life.

Unfortunately, she fell captive to his manipulations, and made her way to the Tree of Life, in order to meet Lucifer in person, and see what these whispers were all about.

His beauty was awe-inspiring, his regality crushing; and he was as intimidating as he was powerful, and gorgeous. For the first time they were able to be face to face, and to speak to one another.
