Never in my life found such interesting secrets hidden in the world. Well, it's not really a secret, but no one really acknowledges it.

The Myth

A background story about the sins of the first woman and the fallen angel

In this day and age, there are only a few people who knew the infamous Lilith, the demoness of destruction. It is not surprising since she was scratched from every piece of literature written about the creation of God. Only rumors have remained. Some claim she was the first woman, Adam's first wife, the first sinner, Lucifer's wife, and now, a demoness. 

In reality, all of the rumors were true. She was the first woman to walk in this world. Lilith and Adam were born in this world together, at the same time, in the same ashes. It is very different from the famous story of how the first woman was created in some religions. Lilith was Adam's first wife, she was supposed to be but.

Despite being equally created with Adam, Lilith hinted that she was born just to please the first man. The common story about her was that she demands "the will to do things she wants" just like her husband has. She demanded to have free will as equal to a man's will. But God disregarded her request and took it as ungrateful and disobedient.

This sparked a misinterpretation between Lilith and God. A turning point in Lilith's personality, she figured she will never be an equal entity like the man, she figured her creator was biased toward his creation, that if she will continue to obey His orders, she will be just an entertainment thing for the man and the world to populate. She was discouraged to follow Him as she felt undesired and underappreciated. That's why she decided to flee the Garden of Eve and live her life as she pleases.

But before she could even set foot outside the Garden, God threatens Lilith,

"One who disobeys almighty shall kiss the sinner's admiration farewell to welcome darkness."

It didn't stop Lilith from going.

In fact, it is what she had been waiting for. To see one proof of her hypothesis that God never approved of her existence that it was easy for Him to let go of her just like that, she was never important to Him. She seeks the exit of the garden without any hesitations. After all, a walkout there is just one of the happiest moments of her life, as a free woman.

But what Lilith didn't know, God has set a curse on her, she didn't know what those simple words can do to make her life miserable and how they can change the course of the world.

Lilith settled in a place where the plants would grow and no threat was present. Far from her creator, she lived in harmony with her strategies and intellect.
