"How about you meet the wife and twins." I hurriedly said, a little proud of myself; it was an art being able to get beneath someone's skin.
No idea why people think being calm and mysterious is the norm. That shit is weak. You meet this king, and I'm going to piss you off.
What's life without a little Wrath?
Seething a ball of fire in her ample bosom, Eve gave a sort of crooked smile and said, "Was this all a test."
Fuck no, this is just me! Who the hell has time to come up with schemes on the fly just to piss off the Mother of Mothers. But who would I, the great Arsene Snow, be if people misunderstand me?
With an elegant flick to my regal hair, I snickered, "My genius IQ is over 9000. Well? Care to meet the fam? I'm sure they'd like to meet a legend like you."
Eve studied me for a while as if to gauge something. "Aren't you interested in the Gate?"
"Not when the Mommy of Mommies is with me."
She grinned. It was a shy one. "Now I'm embarrassed."
Leading Eve back towards the tavern, Lilith welcomed me back with a curious gleam in her starry red eyes. A sort of knowing awareness filled her pupils as she said, "Welcome, Eve."
I might have been jealous if I didn't possess such an ability. Though Lilith's level of control was something I could never hope to imitate. Not without real practice. Being all-knowing wasn't fun. Not at all. Despite my realm, I instinctually have to create barriers in order not to be overwhelmed, allowing some information my consciousness deemed fit to enter. Even as an Archeon. Though it was a lot easier to control on the fly.
"I trust my Husband was not too rude." she continued.
"Perfect gentleman." I professed.
"He asked if Mephisto was fucking me. What do you think?"
I coughed into my fist. "In my defense, Eve is a very attractive woman. I just assumed Mephisto was tapping that."
"I swear we might have to buy you a muzzle. You're getting worse."
Stealing little Iza off my wife, the little one cooed a "Weee~" as I spun her around.
"Eve, this is Izalith. Iza for short." I pointed to Ves, still asleep in his mother's arms. "That's Vesryn, the youngest. Cute right? He's the chill one. Iza here likes to explore. It's why she's always up."
Perhaps it was my imagination, but for a second, as she smiled, Eve looked so sad.
"You two ought to protect them better," Eve whispered. "if there was one singular advice I could give. Don't trust the Seraphims or Fallen. No matter how pure their intentions. No such thing as too much protection when your kid has a target. "
Lilith had been about to speak, but Eve was gone in the blink of an eye. Her aura fading from existence.
"Must be hard. Losing a Son and having the other go mad." Lilith said.
I had heard of the story of Cain and Abel, though I couldn't really relate. Never really thought of killing Zariel before. Maybe when he cockblocked. But to actually kill him because of jealousy seemed… It seemed both sad and pathetic.
"After Abel's murder… Cain was cursed. Though I'm not sure how or why he was," said Lilith, heading back to our room as I followed with Iza. "He went mad. Becoming a sort of pillar of evil within the myriad heavens. But after a while, he vanished. Though I can't imagine he's in the right headspace."
"Eve didn't try to find him?"
Lilith looked at me funny, managing a smile. "The Seraphim all have a peculiar relationship; some even view it to be toxic. The same can be said for the original couple. Adam and Eve hated one another. And I mean, they hated each other. Adam blamed Eve for his fall. Said she seduced him. Eve, being Eve, ignored it. She had children to raise, more than what you and I have. Cast from out of Eden… they were ravaged by the elements, their only aid being the watchers and a few fallen."
Finding a seat on the bed beside Ves. I laid Iza down as she crawled to her brother's side to sleep on top of him.
"So Adam really blamed Eve for getting him laid? Shit. If you were naked and offered me a forbidden apple. I'm definitely taking it."
Lilith smirked. "When did I mention anything about sex?"
"Come on. We both know Eve is fine as hell. That boy Adam had to have been trying to live up inside there unless he was gay or something. I'd be putting in that work all day!"
Lilith only seemed to giggle. "true. Either way. After the death of Abel. Eve lost it, nearly killing Adam before leaving with her daughter Azura."
"Daughter, you say? I thought it was only Cain and Abel."
Lilith made a face. "They had about ten children, dummy."
"and a lot of incest. Damn."
"Different time, I guess," said Lilith calmly. "marriage and other shit like that didn't occur until maybe the hundredth generation. By then, there were over a thousand high humans. And even then, it wasn't a common practice until mutations started to occur, resulting in celestials, aka the first of his kind, Soloman.
"LOL!!!!!! Solomon is retarded, hahahahaha. Damn!"
"Sene, you'll wake them up!" Lilith hissed, flicking me on the head.
"Oh there, fine. They didn't wake up when I was clapping those cheeks. A bit of laughter won't hurt." I told her, feeling I had won some sort of battle by how red her cheeks became. "But you know a lot. Was all of that from your omniscience?"
"Sene, you live in the Myriad Heavens. You're a powerful god. How do you not know its lore? You literally live in hell. You have histories in your records people can't even imagine."
"Girl, you know I'm lazy. Shit like that isn't going to help me destroy those fools within my Hells. I've got a border crisis and other bitch ass monarchs commanding their subjects to slaughter a bit of my people. Learning why Adam got cocked by Lucifer or why Eve left his ass is the last thing on my mind."
Lilith groaned. "You're a god… You can literally make a hundred clones. You're just being lazy."
"True…" And my eyes slid down her robes. "But I do have a succubus sucking me dry day in and day out."
Lilith smirked. "At least you know."
