THE• START•OF•HUMANITY HAVEN
*Lucille*
I remember when I first opened my eyes, a bright white light, a feeling of warmth, washed over me, and gave me strength.
Lucifer and I were born or "created" around the same time humankind started to emerge. My brother and I sat together on the edge of the world to catch a glimpse of the rising sun shining on the humans
A sight to behold watching them, absorbing them, and their every move
I remember asking my brother Michael what would become of them and he said
"Fear not for them, Lucille. But watch over and lend a guiding hand for them to reach"
But unknowingly to me, Lucifer was angry. He was desperate for the glory and praise they received and decided to corrupt humankind, burdening them with sins only out of jealousy and pure hatred
Us both merely beginning our lives together, trying to help others, and mostly help humanity but no, my brother wanted more. He wanted something I might never understand.
Lucifer had corrupted humanity. Maybe it was always the path that was always set for them, but now we will never know
Lucifer's mischief almost brought us to war with the Asgardians, who also protected them from the Frost Giants
I watched Michael throw Lucifer into Hel. A sight scared into my eyes as my brother reached his hand out, waiting for me to save him
His pleading eyes filled with false hope, that I would stand by him and defend him. I could feel the flames burning me. Not the flames of Hel, but his eyes. His eyes melting into my skull, hoping to find a piece of me that would stand by him.
His eyes were reds and glowing, the title of the first fallen angel. The reason they call him the Devil and how he was caged in Hel.
My brother knew very well I was in love with humanity. And that I would not be a saving him
After that, humanity began to stand, a sign of resilience. Everyone in Haven agreed to stay out of reach of the humans
I was distraught. I loved humanity. It's so peculiar to see, and I only wanted to help
We watched from our realm and did nothing to stop the wars, plagues, and the pain that Lucifer waged on their shoulders.
But we need not forget the rest of the universe that also in need of our guidance
For millennia, we granted wishes. Giving travelers a chance to improve their lives or a chance to destroy someone else's
And we complied. The blood on our hands...the blood on my hands is a never-ending waterfall.
