- I N T E R L U D E -

Prince of Darkness. Beast. Brute. Satan. The Devil.

Man’s name for who I am and what I have become had changed drastically in the millennia I was cast from my home. I was known as the best. God’s greatest creation, my song reverberated through the Heavens, my unmatched natural ability to pick any instrument and play as if I’d invented it myself went unparalleled.

I had always been told that I was the best. My skills were incomparable. I was my Father’s right hand. Everything was right. Until it wasn’t. My Father began to experiment with life and other creatures. He began to obsess over it. He devised how he would create a world that depended on Him.

I expressed my concern to my Father. I told Him that they would only grow to take advantage of Him. They would think themselves better and would no longer pray to Him. He dismissed my concerns. He was so blinded by his infatuation with the degenerate things, He couldn’t see them for what they actually were.

After He created the world for His new children, I devised a plan to expose man’s true nature to my innocuous Father. And I had. I had revealed their true weakness, how susceptible they were to corruption.

Instead of thanking me, I was stripped of my rank and was hurled out of my home to this-literal- Godforsaken place and left to rot.

Beast. Brute. Satan. Devil.

Man describes me as the evil the plagues this world, the terror that haunts them in their darkest moments. But they are sorely misguided. For I am nothing more than a mirror, reflecting their sins and short-comings. An echo of their true nature.
