Harmony In Hell

HH-Overture

Narrator POV

The chapter begins with a depiction of the universe where Heaven lies in the sky with its golden gates shining. The narrator, Charlie Morningstar, begins to tell a story of how the universe was created by beings called Angels

Charlie: Once upon a time, there was a glowing city protected by golden gates, known as Heaven. It was ruled by beings of pure light. Angels that worshiped good and shielded all from evil. Lucifer was one of these angels. She was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for all of creation. But she was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven.

(As the narration goes on, the image shows the silhouette of her mother, Lucifer Morningstar, creating fireworks, which draws the ire wrath of the angels for her behavior)

Charlie: For they felt her way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So she watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith.

(The angels then created the place called Earth where they create the first humans, Adam and Lilith)

Charlie: Equals as the first of mankind, but despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.

(Lilith rejected Adam and flees from the garden where she meet Lucifer, and fell in love)

Charlie: Together, they wished to share the magic of free will with humanity, offering the Fruit of Knowledge to Adam's new bride, Eve, who gladly accepted. But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into the Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin.

(They came to Eve, Adam's new bride, to offer her an apple from a tree to bring free will to humanity, but the Earth was shattered by darkness that was unleashed by them)

Charlie: And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and her love into the dark pit she had created, never allowing her to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked.

(The angels banished Lucifer and Lilith from Heaven and Earth, and into the depths of pit black and darkness realm now called Hell)

Charlie: Ashamed, Lucifer lost her will to dream.

(While Lucifer's stagnated, Lilith thrived and brought Hell to new heights, leading the angels to start the yearly Extermination, as population control for the overpopulated demons and sinners)

Charlie: But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and her songs. And as the numbers of Hell grew, so did its power. Threatened by this, Heaven made a truly heartless decision. That every year, they would send down an army, an Extermination, to ensure Hell and its sinners could never rise against them. But Lilith's hope remained. And her dream was passed down to their precious daughter, the Princess of Hell.

[As Charlie finishes narrating, she closes a book titled "The Story of Hell" and looks out to Pentagram City.]

Charlie: Don't worry, Mom. I'll make you proud.

Charlie soberly looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground, just as Vaggie along with Dante Drinking a glass of Booze comes into the room.

Vaggie: Charlie?

The key Charlie is holding transforms into KeeKee who scampers away, and Charlie turns to Vaggie in surprise.

Charlie: Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that?

Dante:Don't worry I love your story telling Hon

Charlie: Sorry. I get pre-tty worked up after an extermination happens. The story helps...
