Genesis of Evil | Evillious Chronicles

"Attempt two." Seth sighed, a bored tone evident in his words. He stood at the banister of the stairs overlooking the lab where his workers stood, nodding to his words and commencing their work. After the failure of Cain and Abel, Seth Twiright took the project into his own hands, trusting that he could find the proper carrier of the gods. 

They had found a vessel, the witch Meta Salmhofer, after catching and bringing her in, sparing her life in exchange for her help. Seth's only concern was an outcome similar to that of his previous peer, Adam and his lover, Eve. He could only hope Meta was more willing to help.

A voice from behind him startled the man, but he turned, staring into the eyes of his assistant. "Yes?" Seth asked impatiently. The smaller man held a clipboard, with several sheets of paper stacked on top of each other. 

"Meta's pregnancy is going well, sir. Twins, a boy and a girl." The assistant reported, hopefully looking up to his superior. Seth nodded approvingly. 

"Lovely. Continue tracking the progress- only report to me if there's something good to hear." 

And with that, the project continued. Smoothly and perfectly, with Meta's cooperation, she delivered two young children. Hansel, and Gretel. Twin vessels prepared to become the dragon gods.

But in the night, Meta and her twins disappeared. The project was a failure once more.
