Overture

[The episode begins with a depiction of the universe, where Heaven lies in the sky with its golden gates shining. The narrator, Lute, tells a story of how entities called Angels made the universe.]

Lute: 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.

[As the narration goes on, the images show the silhouette of Lucifer Morningstar, making fireworks, which draws the ire wrath of the angels for his behavior.]

Lute: Lucifer was one of these angels. He was a dreamer with fantastical ideas for All of creation. But he was seen as a troublemaker by the elders of Heaven. For they felt his way of thinking was dangerous to the order of their world. So, he watched as the angels began to expand the universe in their ways. From the dust of Earth, they created Adam and Lilith, equals as the first of Mankind.

[The angels then created a planet called Earth, where they produced the first humans, Adam and Lilith.]

Lute: But, despite this, Adam demanded control, and Lilith refused to submit to his will. And because of this. She fled the Garden. Drawn in by her fierce independence, Lucifer found her, and the two rebellious dreamers fell deeply in love.

[Lilith rejects Adam and flees, where she meets Lucifer and falls in love.]

Lute: 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.

[They came to Adam's new bride, Eve, to offer her an apple from a tree to bring free will to humanity.]

[But the Earth was shattered by darkness unleashed by them. The angels banished Lucifer and Lilith from Heaven and Earth and into the depths of the black and dark realm now called Hell.]

Lute: But this gift came with a curse. For with this single act of disobedience, evil finally found its way into Earth. With it, a new realm of darkness and sin. And the order Heaven worked to maintain was shattered. As punishment for their reckless act, Heaven cast Lucifer and his love into the dark pit he had created, never allowing him to see the good that came from humanity, only the cruel and the wicked. Ashamed, Lucifer lost his will to dream.

[While Lucifer 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.]

Lute: But Lilith thrived, empowering demonkind with her voice and 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, however, their old leader, Adam, never knew about any of this, and continuesly questioning this, it caused Adam to fall to Hell. But Lilith's hope still remained nevertheless. However, in the unfortunate turn of events, Lilith's and Lucifer's daughter abandoned Hell, and went up into Heaven to lead the exoricst army.

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

Lute: Don't worry, Lilith. I'll make you very proud. [Lute looks out the window to Pentagram City burning to the ground, just as Adam comes into the room.]

Adam: Lute?

[The key Lute is holding transforms into KeeKee who scampers away, and Lute turns to Adam in surprise.]

Lute: Aah! Oh, shit. Did you hear all that? And... How long were you standing here?..

Adam: Uh, I was right here. I heard everything. [He points his thumb to the doorway.]
